My 14 month old is such a sweet boy and he goes to daycare whenever we can send him even though i work from home. Lately i been feeling so guilty for getting pregnant again because im 8 months pregnant and i dont have the energy to go drop him off at daycare or pick him up also dr appointments because i already have...

He doesn’t like me and I ignored it but then when he’d get drunk he’d tell me “I don’t like you!!” and now he looks miserable being with me and I’ve tried talking to him and I feel like I’ve finally hit the stage in life where I feel sad but also ready to let go but idk how I’m a stay home mom and I have nothing..

We are still currently doing like a new vet everyday and just started doing something twice a day like two spoonfuls each time. Baby 7 months Sunday

My 8mo has taken to weaning so well and is already on 3 meals a day. I keep talking to other mums at baby groups who are surprised by how much my girl eats. I think they’re more surprised as she’s quite a petite baby! Today for example, so far she’s had two tablespoons of porridge with mashed strawberries and rasp...

Have any of you potty trained your 3 year old yet? .. if so how long did it take and how did you go about it? We tried a few months back by letting him just go round with no nappy to which he hated being naked from the waist down so would moan for a nappy back on . We left it a few months as we felt he wasn't read...

Has anyone taken baby on holiday yet? We’re set to go in 3 weeks he’ll be 6months! What are you essentials pls !!!?? Tia

Any tips on how to stop my 10.5 month old baby from continuing to throw food on the floor? I make her food (literally meals) and she likes everything but will proceed to throw it on the floor whether she’s hungry or not. I’ve tried giving it to her instead or even putting it on my plate so she thinks it’s mine, but ...

Context; At nursery, they're helping my LO eat with a spoon/feeding him as if he does it himself he throws the spoon/mixes it, sometimes puts it in his mouth/smears food everywhere. Basically plays with it. So to get him to actually eat, he's being handfed. We do the same at home, as well as letting him practice. Sh...

My son be 3 in April and need to have him potty trained for preschool by September would this work or would I be wasting my money

Soo… my son has been having a few tantrums here and there where he yells and if I say he’s going on time out he’ll say “No I’m putting you on time out!” But that’s been the worst of it, I usually tell him to take some breath, play with some toys in his room and I’ll come get him in 5 minutes. Today, just mid conver...

What is your routine please? I’m trying to keep inline with the nursery and it seems a lot of milk. They’re doing 200mls each time, I questioned and they said they offer milk during the PM rather than snacks? Milk Breakfast Lunch Milk Dinner & Pudding Milk

So my partner has a friend. Really nice guy from everything I've heard over the years. Started dating a lady back in September who's got two kids 8 and 10. She left the children's dad due to abuse from what I'm aware as the two kids still have terrors and truma about him coming back from them and they get very anxi...

My little one has been solely on purées from 6-7 months which was simple for the childminder as I would just batch cook them and freeze. He is now 7 and a half months and is now having finger foods like toast/pancakes etc I am worried those will go stale and weird by the time he has them. He is back in 2weeks and...

I know the weather is awful and our babies are abit too young but I’m just curious at what age can our babies go to the park

I am going to view a nursery next week and looking to put my baby in for 3 afternoons a week when I go back to work when he is 1. I have read online that the 15/30 hours free childcare “free” aren’t actually free and you have to pay additional costs with people saying they are paying £600/700 a month! Does anyone ha...

Are your 4 year olds reading and writing? I’ve seen a lot of children same age as mine who can write, draw simple pictures like stick men, animals etc and can write their own name and other words. Mine does none of this. We colour and draw a lot but he just does random messy scribbles nothing we can make out. Not in...

Am I doing something wrong/missing something? Me and my partner both work reasonable jobs. Partner is a PC and I am a biomedical scientist. Since going part time (3 days a week) after mat leave we have really struggled to afford anything. But I feel like we shouldn’t be struggling this much. Is everyone in the sam...

We’re flying to Australia next week from UK with an 11 month old (very anxious about this but husbands family are out there). A colleague recommended giving piriton antihistamines to baby to make them drowsy (these say 1+ years on them) he said they do it with their kids and his wife is a midwife. Not sure how I fee...

…make sugar cookies! (Toddler friendly ones with less sugar in). Was a bit of a mess but let her measure almost everything herself, picked the shapes she wanted and helped with the rolling and cutting. Mummy’s little baker ❤️

Hi, my 3 month old has recently started pulling off and re latching continuously during daytime feeds and also having much shorter feeds more frequently. Can anyone help?
