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...

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...

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…

My little one is 12 weeks on Monday. The last couple days she’s been chewing/sucking her hands like no tomorrow. She tries to ‘bite’ our hands or noses if by our faces (she’s not hungry as would have just eaten) She’s more irritable and is fighting naps, spits dummy out & goes to chew hands, cries and go back to du...

About to start but feeling apprehensive. Any tips? My main issue is we are always out and about so how do you manage on the go? Travel potty?

Could this just be a teething rash? He has been producing a lot of saliva lately

Potty training is going terribly! Yes I know he’s only 1 but no better time to start than now… diapers are expensive and life is life’n. My kid refuses to go to sleep without a bottle and when it’s empty he is screaming bloody murder! Tonight I tried to smooth him and just talk him back to sleep… jokes on me he cli...

so… i’m not hating on my baby’s father because he does take care of our daughter and i am very grateful for that by all means. but there’s been one thing that bothers the absolute HELL out of me and it’s that he doesn’t acknowledge my daughter or his other 2 sons. he doesn’t post them, doesn’t proudly talk about the...

Hello all! Anyone knows of any weekend activities I could do with my 5 month girl? She's very hyperactive so just going for walks won't do😆 also I've been trying to find a baby friendly gym in East / Bow area but no luck so far. If anyone knows of any please let me know!😁

So my 7 month old boy is on the bigger percentile and always has been since birth We currently have him in size 4 nappies, but recently I think we need to move up to size 5 I got talking to another mum with a little one the same age, and they shamed me on having a bigger baby and that he shouldn't be in size 5 nap...

I've had a message this morning "Please can you let me know when I can see you?" ....which might seem harmless, but it really gets my back up because I know her tone, and it's like this entitled/offended demand rather than saying something like "I'd love to see you, is there a good time this weekend?" Or god forbid ...

Hey, is anyone experiencing a super fussy eater at the moment? My LO is approaching 11m and had always been a good eater but in the last 2-3 weeks will not touch hardly anything I offer!!! He has in the last 2-3 weeks had hand foot and mouth and a cold but I just think it’s him being fussy! Can anyone recommend some...

I have a stepdaughter, a 15 year old but we finally had a baby January this year after taking 3 years to conceive we have been together 9 years. We missed out going to the pumpkin patch because the weekend we planned to go his daughter desperately needed him to get her new leggings so they went into town. I was up...

I’m really struggling with BLW. My LO is nearly 8 months old and he won’t eat anything other than purées or mashed up food. I preload a spoon and he feeds himself, but I just can’t get him to eat finger foods or proper meals. He just plays with it and drops it on the floor. Does anyone have any tips or advice? I’m s...

Me and my partner split everything down the middle. Rent, bills, food - everything. His job is shift work and one week is never the same in regards to his shift patterns and days off, so I can't rely on him for childcare help. Because of this I'm having to reduce my hours to both work to pay my half of things, plus...

Morning Ladies My daughter is 3 a week today and we was planning to take her to Legoland, turns out it is shut. Any ideas of decent days out? We live in Reading and are happy to travel. We are looking at Whipsnade Zoo or London Zoo as potential options. We have only lived in the area about 6 months so still findin...

Does anyone else’s 3 year old just won’t eat breakfast anymore? He used to eat weetabix without fail and now he’ll rather have random stuff for breakfast… biscuits, crisps, cucumber & pepper the list goes on. He’s asked for weetabix twice and literally only had one mouthful of it. He’s also had a fair few mouthfuls...
