How long would you limit your 6-month baby to a stroller ride / carseat in stroller? My nanny took my son on a 3-hour walk today. She said they got out once for a bottle but that seems entirely too long and it’s warm here. I’m debating what to limit it too and will have to let her go if she won’t adjust it.

My sons just turned 12 months old and majority of his meals are still puree, he does have allergies which took so long for us to get to the bottom of but the hv said he should be on solids only by now and now I’m stressed 🤒 any tips to start moving him closer to solid meals . he has things like chicken and salmon…

My 2 year old fell down our stairs today (top to bottom) and got off lightly with just a cut in her lip. I called 111 just to be sure as I was panicking due to the height and her age, but she has no injuries, not bumps, cuts a bruises and is totally normal within herself. 111 advised to go to a&e anyway to be checke...

The new free breakfast club the government are planning on rolling out to Primary schools. Will this be available to all pupils regardless of if the parents are working or not? Or just certain pupils?

My son currently does one a week at nursery and has since September. He does one other day with my mum. The nursery are trying to get us to do another day but I really don’t want too. They say it will help him as sometimes he has a bit of a cry when he is there (he is happy on the whole). I love our days together an...

So my partner goes to the gym Monday to Thursday from work and doesn't get back until it's bed time for our girls. I work Friday evening Saturday and Sunday and have the girls 24/7 apart from few hours one day a week. I've been voicing how I'd like to get back into the gym to which he says you can go when I get home...

What’s the longest your in-laws has gone without seeing your LO? My boy is nearly 9 months and they haven’t seen him since… BEFORE CHRISTMAS!!

How can I tell what baby boy wants from hand chewing? He’s 8 weeks old and on 5oz every three hours, how do I differentiate between exploring his hands and hunger??

So we are 3 months into our second daughter (our first one being 2). This time round it's hit us hard, we've both struggled adapting to multiples. However we've been getting more and more frustrated with one another the past couple of weeks. He has his own business and is super busy all the time. Which means I take...

Hi! Does anyone know of any services that will provide 2/3 sitters for an event? The event has 8 kids attending between the ages of 1-8 years old.

My baby is ill with a fever and refusing to eat anything. If I feed him he vomits it out. Not sure what to do😩only thing he ate today was his breakfast which was weetabix with fruit. Is it okay if he doesn’t eat??

Anyone else in the same boat? He just instantly gags or shows zero interest!

How are you keeping your babies entertained during the day? Especially when it’s not great weather. I can’t spend all day at a shopping centre surely? For context, she has just turned 6 months, and now hates everything we do, cries 2 minutes into all activities, and please no suggestions of “sing songs, read books” ...

My partner and I work at the same place, I’ve been having this weird feeling for the past couple of weeks now, decided to log his location on my phone, apparently he said he was still working but on the app he was in a completely different place, I called him most of the time and his phone was switched off, other ti...

I'm still breastfeeding my little girl to sleep, and once or twice throughout the night as well as ad hoc on request when she needs it in the day. I also work 4 days a week, so it's a lot. I realise she no longer needs it necessarily, she goes all day at nursery without, I just honestly don't know how to stop and sh...

I’m just curious I have a 14 month old and this was her dinner tonight (please no hate I know it’s got processed stuff but it’s not an every night thing I normally cook proper food for her) how much would you expect her to eat; I know I put way too much on but that’s just so I get the leftovers 🤣

Hi Please can I ask for some vegetarian lunch and dinner ideas for baby? I know they can eat what we eat but I eat a lot of processed. Wanting to have some food in the freezer. Thank you

How many hours are people sending their LO to nursery or childminder? We get 15 then 30 hours for our LO.

I’ve been doing breakfast and dinner for about a month now but my baby seems to be getting soooo hungry and will start screaming at tea time for her food. I feel like I might need to give her a third meal at lunchtime. We’ve also dropped a feed and went to feeding every 3/4 hours from every 2/3, she is breastfed.

FTM 👋 I’ve never felt so down and sad. My LO dose nothing but scream crying constantly from the second he wakes up. I try and comfort him but nothing helping. I’ve done everything that’s been suggested by friends and family with no luck. He’s sleeping for 2 hours at a time then waking up screaming, going red,…
