Bedwetting / night time toilet training

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?

Late Visitors

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 ...

Not doing so well

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...

Underwear with tabs?

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...

What age do you stop giving your child a bottle and they are drinking from cups now.

My child is a picky eater. So whenever she doesn’t eat enough or at all I make her a bottle of milk with cereal to thicken it so it can full her. Basically another meal. It’s too thick for her to drink from a regular cup. I want to start taking her off but I’m worried she won’t get enough nutrients from her food. Sh...

Vacuums

Hey mummies I hope you’re all having a good day 🥰 please help a girl out! I am in desperate need of a new vacuum as our last one packed in and I foolishly sent my fiancé to buy a new one so he came home with a car vacuum that is slowly destroying my back 🥲. What vacuums are we all using to keep up with our crazy…
