Hi, I'm going abroad in a few weeks. Does anyone have any tips or hacks for making it easier with a one year old please?

My LG has been teething for weeks with her top teeth. Do these look close to breaking through or do i still have a long time to wait ? More pics in comments

My 14 month old sleeps through the night on his own so not sure if this is the right group but from the second he wakes up until his nap time he screams & screams no matter what you do he’s clean fed had milk ect, he won’t watch tv or play with toys he wants me to stand in the kitchen holding him wich is the only th...

My LO is 2 months now and only seems to be super fussy and unhappy when I'm alone with him. My husband went back to work at 3 weeks so it's been primarily me taking care of my LO day and night. I'm very fortunate that my family is around often so one of them often joins me in taking care of him. The problem is, wh...

He isn't potty trained yet. He will be 2 on May 27th. He usually fills up his nappy.

Why would my baby daddy ask me to buy him some food for dinner and not his girlfriend? He asked me to buy him food because he had no money in his account and had not been paid yet. And that there were no groceries in their apartment. I guess I’m just confused on why he’s asking me and not his girlfriend. Any th...

Is anyone up for creating a weekly walk/get together ? I’m back on my second maternity leave and would love to start play dates again! I get how tough it is to put yourself out there and always thought it was easier in a group!

So my toddler is about to be 3 next month and she is in an imaginative stage. I’m a SAHM and she wants to pretend play and because I’m so exhausted all the time (and honestly depressed af) I cannot work up the energy to be imaginative. I do take the time out but it’s really hard and I mostly say I can’t rn. Every ti...

Does anyone have any recommendations for affordable daycares here in Tampa? This is my first baby and I’ve only lived here a couple years but don’t know any people here with kids so I don’t have connections to ask. I’m also a student so it’d really help to know about the flexibility of the center’s hours.

My baby is 6 months this week and I want to start homemade purées. This may be a dumb question (I’m a first time mom) but if I prepare for example carrot purées should I feed it warm or cold to my baby? What do you all do?

My daughter is days away from 8 months and we’re still on purées. I’ll give her a banana in a fruit feeder and even that makes her gag! I’m terrified to try more. Gagging and choking is my biggest fear. I’m on solid starts but even that makes me feel crazy. Gave her an orange the other day, gagged! I know gagging is...

I have a very fussy toddler and need some easy lunch and dinner ideas. He doesn’t like pastas and just basically doesn’t eat anymore. I’m really stressed out and feel rubbish because I don’t know what to feed him. Please don’t say feed him what I eat because most days I eat takeaways or freezer food or cereal.

I know it's not something to complain about going on holiday but I used stress myself out going on holiday before I had my daughter as I'm not organised as much as I try to be. But now I've got to prepare my things as well as hers. I'm living a nightmare in my head with how much stuff I've got to sort. For context...

My sons just turned 12 months old and majority of his meals are still puree, he does have allergies which took so long for us to get to the bottom of but the hv said he should be on solids only by now and now I’m stressed 🤒 any tips to start moving him closer to solid meals . he has things like chicken and salmon…

My 2 year old fell down our stairs today (top to bottom) and got off lightly with just a cut in her lip. I called 111 just to be sure as I was panicking due to the height and her age, but she has no injuries, not bumps, cuts a bruises and is totally normal within herself. 111 advised to go to a&e anyway to be checke...

The new free breakfast club the government are planning on rolling out to Primary schools. Will this be available to all pupils regardless of if the parents are working or not? Or just certain pupils?

My son currently does one a week at nursery and has since September. He does one other day with my mum. The nursery are trying to get us to do another day but I really don’t want too. They say it will help him as sometimes he has a bit of a cry when he is there (he is happy on the whole). I love our days together an...

So my partner goes to the gym Monday to Thursday from work and doesn't get back until it's bed time for our girls. I work Friday evening Saturday and Sunday and have the girls 24/7 apart from few hours one day a week. I've been voicing how I'd like to get back into the gym to which he says you can go when I get home...
