Sick with teething

Can a baby be sick through teething pain? My daughter was sick early hours this morning and I thought she may of had a bug, but she’s absolutely fine, full of energy, she’s eaten toast and biscuits a couple of hours ago and she’s held everything down. She’s got 5 big back teeth coming in all at once and she’s been u...

You /duplo suggestions

This is my little boys fave toy, he’s almost 2 and loves building the blocks, driving the train, playing with the people figures, arranging my colour…everything about it. It’s probably the only thing he will play any length of time on his own with. Any suggestions for similar I could get him for Christmas/his bday?...

Too much ibruprofen?

Help, I’m beside myself with worry! My 9 month old is teething pretty bad and has a cold so we gave her some ibuprofen this morning. I normally give her 5ml of calpol as that’s the recommended dosage for her age, and I was so sure that it was the same for ibuprofen that I didn’t even think to check the box. I by cha...

Teething

My baby is 10 weeks. Started sucking on his fists a few weeks ago but is doing it much more now and his little cheeks are flushed. Could he be teething or is it too early?

Tired

I swear I get so tired…. I was trying to wash all of the pump parts and baby bottles. I kept hearing my baby cry from the room. I was trying to wait it out to see if he’d get it under control, but my nerves couldn’t take it. I go in there and he’s just laying there on his phone while she’s crying. I asked him if he ...

Guilt

My baby is 9 weeks old tomorrow, and during his wake windows I feel super guilty if I’m not entertaining him the whole time. I play and talk to him lots but sometimes I just let him chill and he ends up just falling asleep peacefully. I bought him a gym mat that he likes for these moments which has helped massively....

Amazing Husband

I'm so thankful. It's the Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul fight night. My hubby makes nachos and eats all his nachos and looks over and sees i haven't touched mine. He says what do you need?
