I have a 9 weeks old baby boy and my husband is saying I spoil him too much by holding him and that's not normal. Said I should just put him in the moses basket but he doesn't settle in there and cry. I do try to put him in when I can but sometimes it's just easier to hold him than walking back and forth to the mose...

Any Mamas potty training yet and have been seeing success? I want to start potty training my little man but feel I'm gonna have to just let him run around nakey and pray he ends up sitting on his toilet for most pees and poops. Any advice is appreciated 💕

My son is 12 months old, and his height is at the 2nd percentile. We’re really worried—has anyone else gone through similar issues? He doesn’t eat very much, around 25 oz of formula per day. The doctor recommended we add PediaSure and cow’s milk + keep feeding him solids.

So I don't know if I'm looking for advice or wanting to vent but I'm really struggling and I have nobody to talk to my feelings about other than my mother who understands but can't do much other than help out after work which is in the evenings. I recently caught COVID from my in laws and my son has been sick too....

Just about to pay a hefty placement fee for a candidate for live in part time mothers help / nanny as I’m solo / only parent and struggling working remotely and from home with everything. Candidate came for trial few days and seemed great. She seemed the best from zoom calls had with others. Now it’s time to pay...

I don’t think I feel comfortable

Mums I meet act like they're teaching all the baby sign language Makaton signs for every word to 3-18 month olds and doing tuff trays and sensory exploration at home which looks like really expensive stuff to get basically to throw in the bin after 20 mins of play. Requiring hours of prep and set up by mum and then ...

My baby is 3 months and I have a 9 year old. I work 45-50 hours a week and I have two days off but never in a row. I love my kids and I’m stubborn so I have not had a day to myself since before the baby was born. But today my baby has been so fussy after a night where he was up at 12am 2am 5am then around 7am for th...

We’ve been away for the last week and I swear all he’s ate is pizza, chicken nuggets and chips. (Was all inclusive) Pizza and chips were fried but it’s ALL he would eat and now I feel bad I allowed him to eat that much bad stuff😔

So me and SIL have had a stormy relationship. Where she’s just generally gone around tarnishing my name to everyone from hubby’s side. Literally, stories like we slept together on the first date. Never happened, and we don’t talk about that kind stuff with anyone. I usually found out these stories from people at par...

How much is your 2 week old eating? My son is already eating 4 OUNCES like hello? Someone send help 😭

It's my husband's first birthday as a dad in December! He's had a pretty stressful time at work recently. I'd love to do something special for him to make this birthday memorable. He does so much for our family so want to find a way to make him feel loved. I'm having a hard time thinking of things to do with our 7 m...

My dogs keep peeing by the front door. One of them is pretty trained but she continues to pee overnight next to door. My other dog is 1 and we’ve sucked at training him because when we got him I had a newborn and between the both of them my house won’t stop smelling like dog pee. I clean it thoroughly too. It’s hard...

How are we all stopping our little ones from getting into cupboards and drawers? Locks on them? It’s driving me insane how many times a day i’m having to stop her pulling everything out and then getting her fingers trapped 😂 Help a mama out!

Myself and my partner went to a family members birthday party at the weekend, i was stood socialising with my LO in my arms and the MIL came over and without asking, put chocolate cake in my daughters mouth. I was really shocked and didn’t know what to say without being rude, so I said oh I don’t really want her hav...

Is anyone else having issues with their boyfriend that won’t let them do anything unless it’s to doctors appointments or family stuff

I am in the absolute trenches with my little boy, his behaviour out of nowhere has completely changed. I feel like I’m failing as a mum because I cannot control his tantrums, he has meltdowns at least once every hour over small things. Bed time used to be a breeze, he would self soothe and go straight to sleep every...
