I brush my toddlers teeth everyday maybe not twice a day but at least once. It’s a hassle, has been since day one. I’m pretty sure he is getting cavities.

I want a travel friend so bad. Preferably a single mom with 1 kid who has a very flexible schedule. Or someone who is open to traveling a lot without their significant other.

I've just rang a nursery to see if they offer the hours. But they said they only offer full days so only 11 of the 15 would be used and we'd still have a fee to pay... can someone explain, because I was too shy to ask her to keep on explaining it and I just really don't understand 🫠

I've just bought Watermelon slices (the size for safe BLW) because there's no way we'd eat an entire Watermelon, but I got home and started wondering if pre prepared fruit (its in date ofc and I'll try it first) is safe to give babies?

I’m a SAHM to my 17 month old son, I’ve never left him with anyone but his dad for longer than 2 hours and it’s not a frequent occurrence.
