Any suggestions on how to start or where to start. Today doctors told me I need go rarity due to one of my twins having dairy issues and what good snack brands that are dairy free. Have no idea what to eat or not little stressed about it

My girl had steamed greens and moussaka (lamb, potato, aubergine in) for dinner. I use some kefir plain yoghurt at times to make greens more creamy on taste (dip them in it). (Chopped kale, tenderstorm broccoli finger food, smashed peas etc) She just would eat and eat at times. Today some came up (she’s not bother...

So my son is currently on hypoallergenic milk, I tried him on baby rice last week and it seemed to cripple him has anyone got any tips on what to try and wean him on?

My LO is 5 months and we are getting closer to complementary feeding, but I’m feeling so anxious, I have no idea how to do it, how many solid meals I have to give him? what time of the day? how I give him water? (I saw it’s not recommended to give water in his regular bottles), what food should I give him? how many ...

My stepson was really rude to me tonight. I asked him nicely what he would like for Christmas and he said a watch. I said you’ve already got a watch that we bought for your birthday. His response was it doesn’t fit properly. I’ve spent a lot of money on this watch it was the way said it and it just really upset my f...

Hi, my little one is just over 13 months now and is being extremely fussy with food. She eats breakfast of porridge / Weetabix / fruit and then lunch she’ll have sandwiches or omelette or similar but anything else she just refuses to even try. I make her pasta and rice dishes with veg but she just says ‘no’ and turn...

Do you ask them to help you tidy up the toys theyve got out at the end of the day? Do they do it? I’ve started this week and lord we have kick backs she hates it and takes forever to put a couple things away with me constantly telling her to put them away or she wont have them to play with tomorrow. I dont know how ...

Myself and my partner have a baby daughter and he has a 12 year old from a previous relationship. We have said we weren't going to spend much on baby for Christmas, but he has already spent over £200 on his other child. Is this just something I need to accept or should something be mentioned?

So I don’t even know why I’m here writing this as I know there’s no solution but I’m just so overwhelmed today and haven’t stopped crying. My partner is away with work this week and next. I’m a first time mum to a gorgeous boy of 6 months. He’s a Velcro baby which I kinda love but I literally can’t do a thing withou...

Just found out, as my son turns 1, that he is intolerant to dairy, oat, coconut... among many many more 😭 I always suspected, but doctors dismissed all of his symptoms. I'm having major mum guilt right now for not pushing and giving him a regular cows milk formula for so long. Doctors won't prescribe him any milk…

My little one is 2 in December and she’s so weird with food. If I cut fruit up and put it in a bowl or on a plate, she won’t eat it. If I put it in a small pot, sometimes she’ll eat it. However at her grandparents when they give her a small pot of fruit she eats it no problem. I was always told to show them when you...

My house is always clean, but as you know my clean and someone else’s clean may not always be the same. My future mother in law asked me to do a deep clean on her house before Thanksgiving. I’m shitting bricks. She wants woodwork , dusting, bathroom, etc. the whole nine yards. Just the downstairs. Does anyone have...

I’m kinda getting worried as a first mom here when your baby is teething could it cause fevers around 15months old ? 😓😭😭🥹 should I be worried or is this normal?

I am at my wits end! So my daughter is now four let inlaws, so the parents, husbands siblings and even his cousins and their kids say my daughters name wrong. I have told them multiple times and say her name correctly yet they must do it out of spite! They kick off if anyone mispronounces their names wrong (i have o...

Help! He won’t eat anything at dinner times and other meals are becoming a struggle too. He’s suddenly got an aversion to everything. I couldn’t even get him to eat potato waffles and they are usually a sure get! What do I do?

I am trying to limit screens and whatnot, but I find it incredibly difficult as there are 2 under 2. How much screen time do you have?

Is anyone's else's nearly 4 year old not eating at dinner time (evening meal) I make a meal knowing she will eat it, but no I don't want dinner, not I don't like it, just doesn't want to eat it. Been going on for a while. She's OK during the day i don't let snacks interfere with meals. Just SO frustrating!

I haven’t even thought about applying. I’m going back to work soon for 2 days a week and my mum doesn’t work so she’ll have her for the 2 days but everyone I know is talking about putting their LO in nursery or signing up for the year after (when they’re nearly 2) Does every single baby normally go nursery at 2?!

Any tips on this please x
