My son (2yrs) is obsessed with toy cars... And I mean, I have boxes of cars in my house. I can't get rid of any, heaven forbid! Anyway, I'm running out of space! Does anyone have any creative solutions for storage for toy cars? He has loads in every shape and size 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣

My baby is 7 months old and isn’t interested in anything besides the boob. Won’t take to solids, won’t take a bottle. I’m going back to work so I’m trying to get her on a better schedule besides eating to sleep and breast feeding. Any advice is appreciated!

I've just rang a nursery to see if they offer the hours. But they said they only offer full days so only 11 of the 15 would be used and we'd still have a fee to pay... can someone explain, because I was too shy to ask her to keep on explaining it and I just really don't understand 🫠

I've just bought Watermelon slices (the size for safe BLW) because there's no way we'd eat an entire Watermelon, but I got home and started wondering if pre prepared fruit (its in date ofc and I'll try it first) is safe to give babies?

I’m a SAHM to my 17 month old son, I’ve never left him with anyone but his dad for longer than 2 hours and it’s not a frequent occurrence. However today I went and got my lashes done so I was out for an hour and a half and when I came back he didn’t run up to me for a hug and some milk like he usually does. He went ...

Im 31 weeks pregnant and feel absolutely exhausted! I am a stay at home mum with with a 2 year old and am struggling to look after him. He is 100mph and very clingy. He wants me to play with him constantly, he wont sit and play on his own. I admit i have made him this way as i have always played with him and neve...

Hi everyone, my little one is turning one soon and I just don’t know what to get him for his birthday. I wanted to get him something bigger like a rocking horse or an activity table because he loves standing up. But a rocking horse takes so much space and the activity tables that I’ve found don’t excite me that much...

My daughter will be 1yo in 24 days. I'm 31yo she is my one and only. However she is a climber she loves to climb anything. Is there any toys that she can actually climb on? Or baby jungle gyms?

What is everyone doing for childcare? I have been on wait lists since 2023 and am still being told that the centres I’ve applied for are full for 2025/2026. I was not expecting this and need to return to work in April. I live in Burlington Ontario and have even applied outside of my town. Any ideas would be very app...

We have two kids and expecting our third. Me and my partner have been having issues for a while, the same argument every single time. Over the last few days I’ve just been a bit withdrawn and just thought about things until today when I’ve just had enough. I’ve told him to leave. Which he has now done after refusing...

so I feel like my baby doesn't enjoy milk, is there any sort of flavouring I can add to his milk which is safe?, I don't want him to get tooth decay I need him to put on weight as just doesn't gain weight.

Sorry a long message but my head is 🤯 I just wondered if anyone else had funded hours with a childminder who only accepts them in term times even though your LO goes all year? My LB will be 2 in April, we get a different bill every month. Sometimes £200 odd sometimes £800 odd depending if there’s a holiday. It’s…

My 8 month old is getting his 6th tooth and has been unsettled for 10 days straight. He's been checked by the Dr just to rule out anything else. The google search says a teething episode is around 1 week, so now by the 10 day mark I'm getting really worried. What are your experiences?

So my two children (2 and 4 years) have used a white noise machine since they were babies and both love it, sleep really well with it. My husband hates it with a passion but he can only sleep whilst listening to a podcast. ( which I believe is just the same thing!) I don’t mind it, it really doesn’t bother me. A wee...

My 3 month old is constantly having his hands in his mouth. I read somewhere that’s due to him not getting enough nutrients is this correct? We have tried teething toys but he rather put his hands in 😂😂 He’s combi fed but I’m just a little worried about it. Any advice would be appreciated

My baby girl is 9 months, and only now she has been accepting puree food. It has been a journey. But when I try to introduce to her finger foods or something that's not mashed properly (sort of watery) she rejects it and she gags a lot. So were not sticking to purees and etc... When she gags I panic thinking she's ...

for context, my mom used to give me the silent treatment as a child as young as like 6-7 when i did something she didn’t like and she would only speak to me if i apologized first, no matter if she was in the wrong. some of my earliest memories with my mom are me begging literally sobbing for her to stop ignoring me ...

Not talking about anything for the child/children but an actual salary..
