Anyone else not planning to use nursery?

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?!

Weaning

My baby is 6 months old and we’ve started weaning her about a month ago. She has just breakfast, the odd little snack and sometimes an evening meal. When do you start giving your baby 2/3 meals a day?x

I'm currently 5 months pregnant and have a 1 year old. He's there financially, but he thinks that's all that matters. Smh, he was never shown affection as a kid or b...

Job and nursery

So I’m currently a SAHM and my daughter is about to turn 1. I’m looking to go back to work when she’s about 18 months, I’m wondering is it best to apply for the funded hours and find a nursery first or to find a job first? I’ll only be looking for something part time, maybe 2-3 shifts per week max.

Autism - need to vent / freaking out

A post has just been made, but my topic is slightly different. I basically need to ventilate, talk about it, ask for opinions, because I'm obsessed with the concern since the nursery team mentioned it, and I can't stop thinking about it. We have our 2 years appointment on the 25th and I guess these two weeks will pa...
