What are you getting your 3 year olds for Christmas, don’t want to go crazy but any ideas welcome! I was thinking a tablet or yoto/tonies x

So, my daughter has come to learn she likes sitting up, and she's gotten pretty good at it, but she still needs some support. Whenever I'm eating she always decides she wants to sit up, so I put her in her high chair and put some toys on the tray. Well now she's grabbing one toy, playing with it for a bit, then toss...

This might be a stupid question but say you pay for nursery 7am-6pm every day, do you have drop off and pick up at that time or when suits you? Say I finish work at lunch can I just go and pick him up? 😂😂 (He hasn’t started yet)

So I'm 31 weeks pregnant today, and have been told by my midwife he will likely be here around the 37 week mark, meaning I've only got about 6 weeks left... I still feel like I have so much left to do, and cannot seem to get myself organised. I've still got loads of washing to do, pack my hospital bag, get a few mor...

Hey my 7 month old is teething and doesn’t eat purées very well he wants to play with the food and doesn’t want to eat any hardly and when I try spoon feeding him he turns his head away but he does have a few melty sticks during the day. Anyone else going through teething and weaning? Not a good combo!

Do I allow him to chew? What’s safe to chew on. I’m so confused we werent (as kids) allowed to do none of this so telling him it’s okay is kinda hard so I guess I need to find things he can use to help? Recommendations he never when licked or chewed like this when he was a baby he’s 2 now 😭

My little girl is 6.5 months and a HUGE foodie. We do one puree meal a day and BLW the other 2 meals. I'm running out of ideas for food and am getting bored of preparing 10 meals a day. I'm a vegetarian and my partner isn't, our little girl will be eating meat when she's a bit more confident. Any meal suggestions wo...

So my son just turned 10 months old. He has NO teeth yet. And I’m really struggling on what to feed him. He eats eggs, mushed broccoli, mashed potatoes and sweat peas mushed. He’s my first baby and my only baby so im trying to get passed with being scared of him choking and start giving him actually food so he’ll be...

Hi everyone. I’m sorry this is so childish and shocked I am writing this. Is anyone else experiencing school mums clique drama yet? Unfortunately i’ve now become the target for it at the moment. I’m not one to be bitchy/catty AT ALL and dont get involved in those antics. Unfortunately one of the mum’s i thought we w...

Kind of a random one but what did everyone eat before their induction 🤣🙈

Anybody else feeling guilty about not taking their baby to any sensory classes ? My 5 month old just doesn’t seem to be a fan, it can be more stress than it’s worth !!

5.5 yo boy, dry in the day since 3 but still wees twice in his sleep overnight. Hardly drinks in the evening, just isn't dry! I understand it's a hormone thing, still wish his body holds wee or at least tell me. Can you share if you ever actually 'trained' yours?

Can I apply for a child's passport 3 months before expiry or go on holiday with 2 months left?? (Expires early Feb)

Before I had my baby, my sister and her partner always used to visit us and stay until around midnight. When my baby was born, they did this and it really unsettled baby. Now she has messaged to ask if we’re free Friday evening at around 7pm, which is quite late. I am trying to get baby into a good routine (he is ...

My boy is nearly 17 months old and the last few weeks of feeding have been horrible. He will not eat for me anymore unless it’s plain pasta, toast or weetabix. i can get some fruit into him every so often but every day he changes his mind. Any one gone through this and come out the other side or have any tips? He...

So he is already 1yo and still on formula. Fruit for breakfast a lot of snacks during the day. But if I put him lunch or dinner he wont eat any. He only wants a bottle. What can I do?

Hi guys, I’ve been struggling with motherhood recently. I feel overwhelmed by the clinginess and constant demands, trying to make sure the house is clean, doing chores trying to limit screen time, making sure she eats well and goes to activities. Recently I haven’t been able to wash the dishes or get through a phone...

I've been getting really good at sewing lately and I'm sewing my daughter underwear with tabs for her potty training. I know this is not a thing but does anything think this would be a useful tactic to help ease the mess for potty training. I'm thinking more mess at daycare than home for me but like how would others...

So I’m expecting my second baby in Jan and will have a 2year and 2month old boy aswell. The issue is I’m likely to have a c section so will be staying in hospital a few days. My husband even though is great, he hasn’t been a hands on dad and I’ve done every bath and nappy change for my son. My husband wouldn’t know...

The kids and I travelled abroad last Thursday as I have something important to attend to. We are not due to be back until next month. Since then my partner either takes hours to reply me, doesnt pick calls or even responds initiate text messages. I tell him about my day when we get to talk and he doesn’t even tell m...
