Entertaining baby all day?

How are we actually entertaining our little ones? My baby is 4 months and I need ideas, we usually go a walk/drive to somewhere once a day, I allow 30 mins or so screen time in the morning, he goes on his play mat until he seems fed up, I’ll read a story or two as well, of course he naps in between these times but h...

Choosing which days at nursery

We’ve got our daughter enrolled at nursery for 3 full days from January but haven’t yet had to finalise which days they will be. Does anyone have any advice or recommendations about whether 3 days in a row are better and helps them settle quicker/adjust to having a new routine, or break up the week by having the day...

Anyone with toddlers just struggling?

Flying with a 15 month old

Any tips on how to prevent ears from popping? My 15 month old still nurses and we haven’t been able to find a milk that he isn’t allergic to. The last time we flew I was able to get him to nurse on the way up but he didn’t want to nurse on the way down which resulted in him crying because of the ear popping. Would s...

Fussy toddler

Hi all, my 20 month old toddler is being extremely fussy with eating at the moment & it’s really worrying me. He seems to go through phases where he will actually eat really well, but that phase unfortunately doesn’t last long & it’s like we go back to square 1 where he just won’t touch anything!

We have a toddler too so yes I’m exhausted but I feel like there’s so much to do, I’m almost 38 weeks and he’s working so a lot of it is left with me even though he says he will do things they don’t get done so I know I have to do them ...
