My boy has taken to weaning much better than I expected and within a month we could go onto 3 meals as he eats everything I put in front of him. He gets excited to eat and digests well - plenty of wet and dirty nappies , no difference to before weaning except slightly fewer poos (no constipation luckily!). No reflux...

Little man might be ready for solids. My home nurse said if I think he’s ready to start with cereal mixed with breast milk. Which cereal do I start with? Rice or oatmeal? Baby is 5 months. Pic for tax

My 3 year old just pointed to the kitchen pantry and said “that’s the pantry! It’s full of pans! And trees!”

Goldfish is still pretty salty I can't find a good cracked wheat one Wondering what brands are nutritious

How many times a day are you giving your 7-8 month old solids/purees? Just curious!

My son has just turned 12 months and the last few weeks he's slowly reduced the amount he eats, to the point where is won't eat a single thing now and cries whenever he sees me bringing food towards him. I'm at a loss. All he's eaten in the past 2 days is a single cracker. He's drinking 3x bottles cows milk 8oz a da...

Question, how are you girls managing with the cooking? If I put her down with toys she screams to be held, if I hold her she launches herself at the pan. I cannot think of a solution 😅😂 anyone found a solution? *we don’t do screen time*

Can anyone please recommend places to take my toddler or activities to do on weekends around London (preferably north close to Barnet)? I always struggle to think of how to spend the day with my daughter as I don’t have many mum friends unfortunately 😖

Which book colour, my son has just been sent home a red book. At parents evening he had improved and the teacher was happy. Just wondering what colour book trying to work how far behind he might be.

I watch my niece, she is 7 months. My son really struggles to share his toys. He’s 20 months. He does great if it’s something that she brought from home he will happily give it to her when she drops it. I am conflicted on if it’s best to force him to share his stuff or have designated his and hers toys at this age. ...

Anyone struggling with their babies separation anxiety?! My son is super clingy, picky with food too and gets super upset (and cries) when he doesn’t get what he wants or he plays with something and can’t with it anymore (we redirect). He wakes up many times overnight in his crib. He rarely sleeps overnight with...

My little one has been good with solids since he started at 6 months. We've been doing a mix of purees and finger food since the beginning and he's usually given everything a good try. The last week or so he's been really fussy sometimes refusing whole meals. Has anyone else had this and got any advice?

Hey, mom’s! I got a question since I’ve been getting some mom guilt. I have a 3 (almost 4 in April) step daughter & I just wanna know if there’s a thing as “too much” independent play time. I’m not sure if I follow this cuz how I grew up or it’s perfectly fine! She typically wakes up, watches cartoons in her room un...

Hi Ladies, hope someone can help me out on this. I have recently split up from my husband and as we no longer live together I am in receipt of UC. I would love to send my daughter nursery but cannot cope with costs - total I get from UC doesn’t even cover my rent and I am months behind everything. I have been told I...

I have started planning my wedding and a friend I met on this app has assumed she’s invited to my wedding and even said ‘don’t get married / pick your wedding date on ‘X’ day because I’m maid of honour at ‘X’ wedding’ (I haven’t picked a venue or date yet) and also offered to help with invitations which is really ni...

I have a 4 week old tomorrow and I am trying to do things in his wake window to keep him awake more during the day than night time. Anybody got any home activities I can do? My confidence still needs building and I am to scared to go out for walks by myself right now with him.

I’ve been with my partner for 15 years and I’ve never felt so alone. There’s no effort on his side and I’m always craving attention from him. Mother’s Day was the one special day for me and I told him aswell and he made zero effort and always brings up excuses. Is it time to say goodbye to him. He doesn’t validate m...
