What is the best way to get my baby to gain weight? She gets cereal in her bottles and eats cereal by itself. Her doctor said she’s on the smaller side and told me to just feed her cereal but she already eats cereal. Her twin brother is only 2 lbs more than her.

Is anyone else dealing with a super stubborn toddler? My little girl is flat out refusing to use her potty. We tried to go cold Turkey a couple of months ago, but she was just holding it and holding it and making herself ill. When we bring up the potty she just shouts ‘no’ or ‘I don’t want potty’. I don’t want to sc...

What time does your toddler have lunch?

I'm a FTM and my partner takes our one car to work Tuesday-Friday. I live in a small town and I am lucky enough to have a couple of nice walks nearby but there is only one baby group a week within walking distance, and not much to do in the town itself. Did anyone else experience this, and what did you do to relieve...

Just letting everyone know there's a new play area opened up in town that's ran by the council! There's an area they run actual groups, and then there's also a play area that's next to a load of tables that open monday-friday. You can take food and drink there too while the kids play. You access it upstairs in Middl...

My one year old and three year old are both very stubborn and independent. My three year old use to like to run away a lot while out at stores or the mall(thanks to dada for chasing her around whenever we were out). Shes calm down a lot but will still do it once in while. I feel guilty because she will ask me if I’m...

HELP!! My daughter turns 2 in May and is the most picky eater I’ve ever known. She’s been this way since a little before she was 1. I’ve tried sneaking foods into the foods she likes but she knows every time and spits it out. She uses to lick it, touch it, smell it, but won’t even do that anymore. I keep getting tol...

I live in an UPSTAIRS apartment. A couple months ago we had a new neighbor move in downstairs- a single mom. She would play music at the highest level from 8pm-5/6 am in the effing morning. This happened EVERY DAY! We lasted 2 weeks till my husband called the office and put in a noise complaint. That exact same day ...

My son turned 2 in February and was diagnosed level 2 a month ago. He used to eat everything offered up until about 15 months, it has slowly gotten worse and worse and now he will barely touch any of his safe foods. I continue to offer small portions of safe food and new food, don’t pressure or force, sit down with ...

What are you giving your babies for breakfast? My son doesn't like porridge and is dairy, egg and gluten free 😵‍💫

Has anyone been to Lake Garda with a baby and toddler? Going in June with a 4 year old and 6 month old, just for 5 days. Wondering whether it's worth getting a hire car? Will be staying in Garda and would like to visit some other towns! Any hints/tips for visiting there with babies would be helpful, thank you!

My little girl is currently refusing to eat anything that isn't fruit or veg or yogurt. I'm worried about her not getting enough protein. I know veg have lots of protein in them and iron too (I'm a vegetarian but I'm raising my little girl on meat). I can't get her to eat beans or lentils either. Is this just a phas...

My daughter just turned three. She’s been doing this since a baby. She grabs any bottle of cream and plays with it. Destin mainly. I can hide it and she finds it. It’s ridiculous. My son busted his lip open and she found his cream for his lip and went painting. That was up high. She climbed her way to find it. I...

The past two weeks, my LO has significantly dropped the amount of food he eats. We have done BLW and he is still breastfeeding fine, however all the food he used to enjoy, he now refuses. His diet is now fruit pouches, some veggies, bread and yogurt. Can they become picky eaters as such a young age? Have you had a s...
