My MIL is convinced my LO is teething as he likes putting his hands in his mouth and has started dribbling.

What are some breakfast lunch and dinner ideas I can make for my 8 mo boy?

My husband was single for 3 years before we got together. He’s always had a very close relationship with his daughter. Almost oddly close, like he treats her like a girlfriend. He complains that she gets mad and jealous and acts like she’s his “wife” sometimes. He wants her to push the stroller while we’re out and t...

My baby is 8 months and has been slowly eating solids since 6 1/2 months. We are now at 2-3 meals a day plus formula in between. Its easy when I am home 4 days out of the week but I work 3 days a week and she goes to a baby sitter. We send her with formula and Gerber oatmeal cereal but thats it and the baby sitter j...

I got my wisdom tooth removed today and my dentist (not my regular dentist) said he was going to give me a paper with instructions like the dos and donts after an extraction but never did. I’m just looking for advise here :)

How do you and your significant other split your financial/household responsibilities? I know it’s not good to compare I just feel like I have to come up with something more efficient than what we are currently doing.

I’m 27 weeks, and I feel like I can’t stand my husband, has anyone else felt this way? I feel like I’m so alone in this pregnancy. And when I talk to him about certain things and we agree on but when that situation comes up, every thing we just talk about goes right out the window about what we talked about and it’s...

Anyone else feel like their husband hates them and barely talks to them now they are in the first trimester, I think my constant tiredness and laziness plus the wasting of the food because of my food aversions is annoying my husband and he has just started to ignore me the whole day and complain about things .

Hi all, just want to see everyone’s opinion on maintenance amounts, had a bit of an issue with BM over the last month over this.

We were zero/minimal screen time all the way up till age 2. He was great at playing independently and poring over his many books and engaging with his toys. He is now 2 years and 4 months and the last 4 months we have fallen into risky tv habits. No tablets or phones but TV. This was due to endless bouts of sicknes...

When does your LO eat their meals? Do you give breakfast first or bottle first in the morning? I give my LO his bottle first in the morning then about 2 hours later I give his breakfast but I keep seeing people say you should give breakfast first I’m a first time mum and sort of winging it as I go

Anyone else’s 15 month old suddenly being fussy with foods? He used to love all foods,and now last couple weeks the foods he suddenly loved he’s being picky with. I understand it’s probably a phase and hell get there again soon. But how long does this last?

I’ve gone back to work and I’m really struggling with the thought that everyone is getting to raise my child except for me. Even my husband gets more time with him as he works from home. I fear that my baby will enjoy spending time with his grandmothers more than me bc that’s who he’s with all week. He lights up whe...
