I have a 16 year old daughter, she was born 2008, I also have a 1 year old son who was born 2024. My daughter hates him, and…

Does your little one have screen time? Do you try and avoid mealtimes with it? Finding this quite difficult atm as the distraction sometimes does encourage her to eat? Just worried that we have allowed too much and it’s now something she would prefer over playing- unless outside!

My baby has baby rice and banana for breakfast and then some sort of veggie puree I make her for dinner- sometimes it’s just one veggie but most of the time it’s 2/3 different ones combined. She eats soooo well, she’ll finish the whole thing and wants more which is great however she won’t eat anything on her own. Sh...

I have a 14 month old who is very active, loves to walk around and explore new things. I just don’t know ANY places on where to go that she will enjoy for her age. I’ve been to some parks, Joyner Park and Millbrooke? But any recommendations are great that your littles enjoyed! ❤️ Looking around the triangle area!

What’s everyone’s working/childcare arrangements atm? How many hours do you work, family help with care?, nursery, childminders etc? Feel like my current situation isn’t working and need a change but unsure how to make it work

I’ve recently become a stay at home mum to my toddler and new baby and feel myself resorting to screen time a lot to get things done around the house. It’s the only way I can keep my toddler distracted otherwise even if she’s got toys, she will start unpacking drawers she shouldn’t or doing something that will mea...

I don’t know why I’m so nervous I love holidays and been on so many but thinking about going with my 6 month old is bringing so much nervs we’re going turkey in two weeks and wondering what holiday essentials I need anything that made your holiday easier?

Three days ago my 3 yr old got some sort of stomach bug or ate something that didn’t agree with him. He woke up early in the morning, started complaining a lot and in the span of two hours threw up twice. I expected that he’d have little appetite the rest of the day and maybe even the next day. But here we are three...

I wanted to reach out because I’m concerned about my 2-year-old’s eating habits. Lately, he refuses to eat almost anything and shows no interest in trying new foods. He doesn’t seem willing to taste anything unfamiliar, and no matter how I try to present the food, he simply refuses. It’s been quite challenging, and...

How do you administer this for a 10 week old baby? The box says a spoonful but how on earth am I supposed to get this into his mouth with a spoon. I have a syringe but what would a spoonful be?

My LO is 8 months next week and will happily eat purées but I’ve tried with finger food and he’s not interested in putting anything to his mouth! What could I do to help this?

My LO currently has an ear infection and teething like mad (currently has 12 teeth). He’s had a temp since Sunday (trip to A&E) and it’s been a nightmare trying to give him his meds let alone any Anbesol liquid. I have every teething aid at home but none seem to work, so I only carry the Anbesol liquid and we are cu...

My almost 2 year old has been attending a daycare facility for the past 6 months part time. The do have cameras and at first I thought everything was great and he was getting more interactions with other kids but then some things started to bother me. One of them being that my child would always get picked up with d...

My son is turning 4 in July. I feel like I’ve failed quite badly with discipline and tantrums. I’ve given in too easily and not held consistent boundaries. I’ve become frustrated and angry. As a result my child snaps at me often and has the most insane meltdowns if he doesn’t get his own way. I am trying to be firm ...

Is there any way to change the child benefit to be paid monthly instead of weekly? Just thinking it’d be easier to buy it all in bulk when I have all the money at once instead of going the shop every week to buy the things as we only have a co op near us and the pampers are £7 for 20🫣
