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

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)

For reference: I'm off work now (mat). He chooses not to work. He goes out on a weekend. I don't get alone time. We have a toddler, she doesn't settle easy at night. I routinely settle said toddler to sleep. I've said I'm not settling her to sleep tonight (age 2) because I don't feel good. Feel very achy/sick. I l...

So I just need cold food ideas for my “efficient” husband (who doesn’t even have time to waste on microwaving food). Ideally something that can just eat straight out of the container. If your recipe is a salad. It should be able to hold a dressing for a few days without getting soggy. Cause and I quote again “I don’...

Just wanted some advice really and to see if anyone else was in the same boat. My daughter is 16.5 months and is completely incapable of behaving or sitting nicely when we go out for a family meal, she just gets bored and wants to get up and run around. She never really eats when we’re out either (maybe due to the c...

So my daughters first birthday is coming up. My husband told his parents that we want to get her a balance bike her birthday. About 24 hours later, my husband gets a phone call saying “We got a bike for you so you don’t have to get it anymore”. I have been so upset about the situation. It’s not the bike that I want...

So… me and my fiance got into an argument. I told him I’m sick and tired of him and that it’s best he go his way and I go mine. He replied I’m so tired of you putting me through this shit every other day I’m done and I mean it . I responded with just ok. 😂 Do you guys feel like I came off cold ?

Hey, my son's teacher emailed me informing me that my son showed his private parts in health class. This is very shocking to me as he's normally well-behaved. As anyone experienced this before? Need advice on how to treat this situation

This might sound silly but I have accidentally ate a cheese burger at a work event. I am now so worried about getting listeria.. has anyone else ate any foods they shouldn’t have by accident and been okay?

I’m so confused about nursery fees…my son is starting on Monday and I’m confused about when I’ll have to pay for his sessions. It says in the contract that they invoice you on the fifth of every month, then this is what they say about starting part way through the month. So will I pay for next week’s sessions along ...
