She hasn't had a wee on the potty. She is choosing to do it in her pants (which is fine) or she having a few droplets in the potty. But I believe she is holding her wee in. She's gone 5 hours without any accidents but she has been drinking various fluids in between. We decided to go out and I put a nappy on. At th...

My LG has been working on her pincer grip, which sounds like a cause for celebration... But now we have to hoover multiple times a day because she tries to pick up even the tiniest pieces of dirt, dust and hair and eat them. And at meal times she is ignoring the big pieces of food and spending an inordinate amount o...

my dad pay my child’s nursery bill?

I’m so tired of offering her new foods for her to swat away and scream at me, it’s so frustrating and stressing me out because I’m worried about her being nutrient deficient. What can a pediatrician do to help besides what I’m already doing? What actually works you guys? Can I give her vitamins in the mean time? Giv...

My little boy is due to be at the childminder on his birthday while my husband and I work. His birthday will be the Thursday, I will have then have the Friday and weekend off.

Does anyone have any recommendations for books suitable for 3 - 4 year olds on emotions and feelings etc? 🙏

My LO is smiling and cooing at us, grabbing/gripping clothes, hair etc. but is totally uninterested in brightly coloured toys, rattles etc. She can definitely see and hear as she’ll turn towards sounds, stare at contrast cards and track faces/her moving mobile beautifully, just doesn’t seem ready to ‘play’. Anyone e...

Anyone else drained from it? Everything we say to do is ‘no’ and every time we ask him to do something it’s ‘no’ or we’ve done it wrong. Its constant tantrums. It’s getting to the point where he’s not nice to be around. I know it’s developmentally expected but he’s just becoming very bratty and I don’t like him some...

My baby has been on solids for about a month and it seems to be getting worse! She’s realised now that she can just clamp her mouth shut. I’ve tried giving her finger foods but the only thing she will eat this way is toast. Does it eventually just click for them and they become good eaters? So far I’ve been just try...

Is your little one Potty Trained?

How did everyone get their dummy’s off of their little one? My girls coming up three and I feel like it’s time. We tried to stop using them a few months ago but with potty training and getting a new sibling and her dad moving in with us after him leaving the army we realised she just wasn’t ready. We’ve limited her ...

How much gerber baby food (purée) Does your baby eat? My son is 9 months old and eats 2-3 cans a day. Sometimes less. Including his formula every 3 hrs 4-6oz bottles. Just curious at this age?

My 2 year old never seems hungry at home. She’s eats lots at nursery or if at grandparents house, but when she’s at home she never wants to eat. I don’t know how she isn’t hungry. Yesterday she had one bite of toast, refused anything else I tried to give her, had a few bits of cheese and a mouthful of yoghurt for l...
