So how is everyone feeling about finding out the primary school place our babies have got tomorrow? I’m so worried! Doesn’t help I’ll be in work when I find out 🙈

She currently does either a late breakfast or lunch. Sometimes try to introduce 2 meals a day but it’s quite overwhelming for me more so her and she’s recovering from a cold so her milk intake has been all over the place on top of the fact that it naturally is less when introducing food If anyone can suggest any qu...

Hi everyone, I’m hoping to get some advice or reassurance from other parents. My son is 9 months old and still doesn’t seem very interested in solid food. I’ve tried spoon feeding, baby-led weaning, and offering food at different times of the day, but nothing really seems to work. He’ll occasionally eat a few spoon...

How do you all feed your weaning babies when you’re away for a short break staying in a hotel? Restaurant food is always full of salt! Do you use pouches instead? Or what do you do? And also. How do you water them!😂 bottle water or boil the kettle on the room for cooled boiled water? For an 8 month old FYI

Hi mamas, I’m having the toughest time trying to settle my 15mo into nursery. He has had 4 settling sessions, out of which during 1 they had to call us back as he was constantly crying! And yesterday he got sick twice during the settling session, probably because of excessive crying and also could be because of exce...

Anyone else with a toddler feel guilty? It’s not every day thankfully but today I’m feeling awful and relying more on screen time to keep her entertained while I’m struggling, been up since half 5 feeling crappy 🤢 so now I’m knackered already 😫

The two boxes in the corner are pretty much full of toys , the plastic boxes next to them are mega blocks and train set box in window again full of toys and his toys box is pretty full aswell! I want to get rid of the walker but he seems to of found an obsession with it again (mainly lining the shaped up) (The b...

My boy is still crying every day at drop off. He has been at the same nursery for 2 years now. He has gone through phases of being fine walking in, but this latest has been 6 months of screaming ‘don’t leave me’ and grabbing us and going completely crazy. When we pick him up he’s happy, has had a good day, he always...

Son will be turning 4, I’m not sure which balance bike size to get.

He’ll happily eat a whole weetabix with warm milk but refuses anything else. I always offer fruit and yogurt and sometimes some toast or a crumpet too but he just refuses anything else. I worry it’s not enough because same of my friend’s children, of the same age, eat LOADS for breakfast and when I compare I just ...

I’ve been with my husband for 10 years this is our first baby. I’m so upset with him! I don’t actually see how we are going to come through this now. As expected our lives have changed hugely. But I don’t like him anymore. He’s become lazy (or maybe he always was) he doesn’t help me with the baby, he only thinks o...

We're on holiday for a birthday that isn't happening til Thursday, with a party on Saturday. Toddler has lots of fun with everyone as she loves her family, but still keeps saying at least once or twice a day that she wants to go home, misses her toys and her other grandparents. We are a 5hr drive away from home.

So I know many of us are fiercely protective of our LO’s and not just anyone has the privilege of getting to spend time with them. Now my wife wants to take LO to see a family friend who I personally think is not a good person and at our baby shower called my wife a little bitch and we didn’t want her there anyway...

Just wondering where people go on a rainy day with baby? X (missing the sunshine already!)

My 2 year old has barely slept last night due to having a cough, meaning I've barely slept. I usually resort to going for a walk but it's pouring it down so can't do that. Any suggestions on some activities to do when absolutely exhausted but also something that would keep him entertained for a while?

I found a few childminders locally who are a good option but I’m a bit surprised by their contracts. 1) they take 6 weeks holidays a year and you still have to pay them but they reduce the daily rate by a third 2) don’t work bank holidays and you still have to pay 3) charge £15 a day extra if you use government fund...

Ok soo my son is abt to be 8 months old very soon, I haven’t started weaning him on solids yet because I am terrified of him choking🙃any recommendations?? Or advice ? Thank youu❤️

My partner bores me. We had a baby last year. We haven't been on holiday for almost 2 years and he's reluctant to book one again. Weekends are spent doing the same walks. Nothing any differnt, fun or exciting. We have no one to help us childcare wise so date nights are off the limits. But he makes no effort to do an...

Guys my bd isn't the best... I'm not even happy in the slightest but both of our family's thinks everything perfect I feel so stuck I can't be a single mom but he makes me feel so bad sometimes I don't have a job so I don't have an income and he does and yesterday all I got to eat was a happy meal cuz my brother sen...

Your 3yr old hits you with a toy. Would it be a justified reaction to take that toy and throw it?
