Was supposed to go in-laws to celebrate LO’s birthday. But one of the family members disclosed she’s sick. What do I do? I have two young kids and can’t really afford to get sick at the moment due to issues ( doesn’t sit well To knowingly attend when I know there’s a high chance of us getting sick as just recently ...

Since day one my little guy has HATED being in the carseat, ergo car rides. He has great lungs and can and has cried an entire car ride before (sometimes 20-30 minutes straight). At some point the cry-it-out method is the only thing we can do. The way i see it, if we take a break, take him out, its only a temporary ...

Help!? Me and my BD share a place and a car to raise our kids. At times he acts like we’re together. He disappears at random times and doesn’t say where he’s going he’s always been like this. I hate it. As for me I’ll share my whereabouts. I’m an over thinker and always think he’s out with someone else. I don’t know...

Hey ladies I’m in a situation that I don’t know what to do…. My partner and I have been together for 7 years have 2 kids 6 yr old and 21 month old. We got into a massive fight a week ago and he physically threw me out of the house and ever since that fight it hasn’t been the same I don’t feel safe I’m constantly wat...

I just found out my baby is teething so I don’t know what to get him and he is 3 months

I have a one year-old and the older she gets. It’s like the more picky she is.

My toddler is 19 months and he is usually an eater!!! He would eat anything you put in front of him, all his meals, etc. we had no worries because he was not picky As of yesterday, it’s so weird. The minute I try to get him to eat any meal, full on tantrum saying no. He doesn’t warm to want to eat. He’ll ask for s...

My boy is 14 months. He’s got a temp of 39.5, coming down slowly with ibuprofen. He’s breathing faster and got like a whitey rash on stomach (no where else on body). Anyone else experienced this with their little ones? What is it? He’s also teething bad

Hey! I’ve heard that daycares have a long wait time so want to start getting organized now - what are the best daycares in San Diego? I live in La Mesa but happy to travel if it’s worth it. What’s important when looking for a daycare? What makes one better than another?…. Edit - also really interested in Spanish im...

Currently revising ours like shoeroom weekly, kitchen ongoing, etc.

My boy is 18m soon to be 19m and he’s so fast now he’s almost running, I lost sight of him for like a second today in the shop and my heart sank and I shouted his name quite loud, my bf said that I’m embarrassing and need to stop this he said I’m like this when he falls over, like I will gasp and make a big deal but...

i am having a REALLY tough time getting my one year old to eat anything. i have tried and tried to get him to eat new foods. but he only likes to eat waffles, crunchy things like the little baby cheese puffs, teething crackers, yougurt bites etc. as a baby he would eat ANYTHING he used to love squash, zucchini, eggs...

What age did you start solids at? Did you wait til 6 months? Did you start a bit early. Here’s my issue: I go back to work a few days before she is officially six months. I really didn’t want the nanny to be introducing solids as to I wanted to be the one to experience that with her. It’s not so much about allerg...

Hi all, trying to decide whether or not to enroll my three-year-old in preschool. We plan to send him to pre-K, but we weren’t sure if preschool is also just as important prior to pre-K. We have a nanny share now so we don’t want to break a good thing unless it’s really important. Anyone else been through similar th...

For those who’s LO have never eaten much, I’m not talking about LOs who may go off their food during sickness / teething etc… I mean, never been big on food. A few spoonfuls a meal is a success sort of thing What are you planning to do / doing about it? Is it a case of trusting the process and that they may just b...

Does anyone have any tips or recommendations on how to start letting a baby feed themselves? My baby is 8 months and has no interest in doing it herself. She just uses the spoon as a drumstick and was never one to put things in her mouth so she just plays with her banana puffs and throws them on the floor🤣

so my little guy is currently teething he's got 3 molars coming in and one front tooth and I don't know what to do he refuses to use teethers and just wants to chew on my finger all the time I need advice or honesty just someone to tell me it will be okay and pass🤣😭

This is my 4th pregnancy, and it's been the same every single one. I honestly just can't stand him. His presence, his voice, how he acts. I think maybe because I've got on with him doing bare minimum as I'm a sahm and he works and cknes back home late and tired, i just allow him to do minimal when it comes tonhome a...

When did everyone’s babies stop just playing with the food and actually eating bits? We’re 3 weeks in with finger food and my LG happily takes it to her mouth and picks it up well etc. but mostly just plays with it… I know food is for fun but getting a tiny bit frustrated wasting food every night 😂

Need to start leaving my LO with my husband so I can go to work. Anything to make sure this process is smooth? Feeling so stressed and anxious about this.
