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...

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...

My baby drinks like 20oz milk but food is a hit or miss as far as I know it’s normal but it stresses me out cus sometimes I have to try offering different foods until she likes something. It depends on the day and her mood as well. She’s going with a new baby sitter soon and I have to pack her breakfast and lunch. I...

The love of my life came back into my life during a highly sad time. We called and talked everyday, he sent me gifts from abroad and to my kids as well. He shown me love I never experienced in my life. That was when we were teenagers and now in adulthood. He took care of me like no one before. He was telling me th...

We made the mistake of introducing Disney while our little one was sick and now he wants to watch it whenever he can. He will throw a small fit when we shut it off. Any advice on how to become screen free again? Or fun activities to do?

So my little one is 8 months now; and initially we started giving him screen time when he was around 3 months because distracted feeding was the only way to get him to drink his milk. He was never a fan of drinking milk and it took so long to get him to finish. We tried everything. Taking him to a quiet room etc but...

I’m getting so stressed because my 18 month old has suddenly stopped eating she was a fairly good eater, she’s been eating less and less for a couple of weeks and has now stopped completely and will only eat a biscuit. I’ve tried so many things like offering a safe food or her favourites, distraction methods, making...

How’s your baby when teething? Mine has been crying hysterically the last couple of nights and seems in pain when I’m breastfeeding him. He’s also got red cheeks, chewing everything, drooling etc. I just want to make sure he’s pain is teeth related and not he’s stomach as he gets very gassy too.

My LB is turning 5 in a few weeks and I have no idea what to do for his 5th birthday, I want to make it special as 5 is a big one but feel like I’ve done so much with him already. Would love some ideas/inspiration-preferably a day out in London somewhere. Currently he is obsessed with anything train related.

A) Yes, they need to learn accountability B)No, I would defend my child C) I would discuss with my child first D)other

Just wondering what other mums do when you have a spare hour(s) or even the day to yourself. 🤔I’m a pretty busy and social person so just wondering what you all do. I find I busy myself with chores or watch tv

Would this be okay to give to my almost 7 month old? I want to mash a banana up and add it in for extra flavour Would I also be able to mix it with her formula or would it have to be cows milk (tested the allergy and she’s fine with milk)
