Community Posts, Tips & Support on Toddler & Child

I'm thinking to make a complaint about the management of my daughter's nursery, but wondering if I'm too demanding. So they have a platform that they update what the children are doing. They used to update it every 1 or 2 hours, and there was a picture of my child every session. Recently, they updated it a lot less...

My daughter goes to my partners dad every Wednesday & if they can’t have her they tell us with enough time to get other childcare.

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!

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?
