Community Posts, Tips & Support on Toddler & Child

So as I have done posts before, I wanted to take my son abroad ideally this month or next month. Initially my ex was not happy as it’s his first holiday and she wanted to be present however she was having all sorts of passport issues so ultimately told me to just go ahead and she will come for the next one. So I s...

My bubba is currently 2 months and I feel terrible that our days are pretty boring because i’m just not sure what to do with him. Have you got any ideas that are easy and cost effective that i could do to keep him entertained? Thank you in advance 🤍x

Hi everyone, Has anyone made the switch to solid food yet. Amelia is 5 months old on Friday, I know they say you should wait until 6 months. But, we were in hospital last month with her being severely constipated. Now she has stopped pooing as regular as usual again. Doctors aren't really interested until she hasn'...

We are having issues with our toddler not wanting anyone but Dad. We recently had a new baby girl and our boy toddler has been spending more time with Dad as im breastfeeding. It’s becoming an issue as my other half can’t even go to the toilet on his own without a full meltdown. He won’t let me put him to bed or t...

My son just turned one like 2 weeks ago, but he has refused to drink cows milk so he is still on formula at the minute. He has also went on a phase of only wanting plain food like bread sticks or wraps.. he won't eat anything else and will stick his tongue out and drop whatever it is I'm giving him. 🫣

Morning all! We’ve given potty a go today as I thought LG was ready as her communication is great and she’s been doing a wee on the potty before the bath for over a week. This morning however has been a little chaotic 😅. She is saying wet or wet as she’s doing on or just after but there’s not enough tile…

Does anyone have suggestions for fun places i could take my five month old?? For context we do loads of reading, games, singing, water play at home but i’d really like to find some places we can go that she would enjoy too so i’m out the house a bit more! We normally do one group in our local library and one in a ...

Hello. I’m a first time mum so please be gentle to me the below question might sound silly. I think we are at the thick of teething! My boy has been extremely clingy, hard to settle which was never the case, can’t eat solids as much but drinks his formula, wants to be cuddled all day, cries more that usual, excess...

ok so my 6 month old is teething bad right now, just straight up miserable 90% of the time & waking up all hrs of the night screaming his head off(also has a little cold which i know is normal) his dad wants him Friday to Monday which i agreed to weeks ago but i’m thinking about seriously canceling bc he only gets h...

Am I being unreasonable when I want baby back to soothe her if she’s upset? I don’t think I am as I’m the mum and she’s only 6 weeks (I am letting my other half try as it’s important he can soothe her too) but was wondering at what point I should allow grandparents to learn too as they will likely have her at some p...

My LG is quite sensitive and anxious, although very social. Recently she's just been a bit off and has been asking for me to pick her up from childcare early (no concerns - the childminder is lovely and has had her since she was a baby). The increased upset started when she started preschool in January for 1 day a w...

My narc ex has left me pregnant, currently in my 2nd trimester. I’m so angry! His life has barely changed but I’m living at my Dads and emotionally struggling. He flipped my life upside down. He doesn’t see the baby as his responsibility until it’s born. He has a VERY decent job. I’m tempted as his setup is muc...

How are we all getting on with cutlery with our LO’s? I tend to offer one most meals but she just isn’t getting to grips with it well, I feed her things like yoghurt still, if I preload the fork for dinner she normally takes it from me and eats it but other than that nothing 😂 any tips?

Hi everyone! So my baby is going to be 7 months this week. He has no interest in blw but loves to be spoon fed. Everyone keeps telling me how important it is for babies to be able to feed themselves. I try everyday but my baby just ends up getting really upset. Need some reassurance!

Our little one is 14 months old, before she was born we were very in love, my partner proposed to me. We had lots of sex, cuddles, dinners and just generally being happy. After she was born we were still very happy, we haven't had much sex but have been trying to improve on this.. the last few months of so I've been...

Recommendations for a baby changing pad in the nursery please. The basket ones look like they’ll be a bit inconvenient with changing? I could be wrong! What does everyone suggest?

Any type of advice would be amazing, I am traveling with my son at the end of the month to India, the flight is going to be very long, I have got snacks, toys, headphones and comfort things sorted just wondering if I need anything else.

I feel like this maternity leave I've spent the whole time comparing my two. My first one was amazing at sleeping, very chilled but we had lots of fun. I was also under the impression I had lots of help. My parents were both reasonably well and alive. My partners were seeming to be hands on and eager to help. All ro...

My children both go to a daycare facility & even with state assistance to lessen the monthly fees it’s hard for me to afford it. I don’t have any friends or family who can help me either. What has everyone else done to afford childcare in order to work full time? -One stressed mama

I had my little boy’s first birthday party and invited family and friends. A friend of mine told me that she and her husband would come. I was very excited. Every time she had a birthday get together for herself I would go. I’ve gone to numerous birthday get togethers and dinners for her. The night before my son’s b...
