Community Posts, Tips & Support on Toddler & Child

I am the carer for my elderly parents. I also have two young children of my own. My husband has health anxiety, and he thinks everything is wrong with him. Last few months has been hell, with ups and downs. But the past 2 months has been the worst. He now also shows signs of depression. I have been trying to make e...

Can anyone recommend the crayons/pencils their toddler are using? Probably a daft question 🙈😂

I have two childhood friends I've been close to for years. They were bridesmaids at my wedding and I was at theirs. We talk most weeks. Both of them can't drive though, they have licenses but both anxious drivers and prefer not to. Long story short I moved away about 10 years ago so we don't see eachother much. I ...

Wanting to get my 2.5yr old a 3-wheel scooter for Christmas. I see Micro Scooters around a lot but they are very expensive and I see a lot of other popular small brands on Amazon. Please comment your recommendations and reasonings below.

Okay this is a relationship post and I'm feeling quite confused and vulnerable so please do be kind... I asked my husband to plan a date and titled it 20 weeks pregnancy halfway celebration. He organised us to go on a date night where he booked tickets for a comedy club but unfortunately it got cancelled... so we ...

Any one else's two year old just turned into the devil recently??? My son's not always been an angel but he has never been this bad and I don't know what's going on! He started going to a childminder a few months ago and I keep telling myself maybe he's learning this behaviour but then he wasn't like this when he fi...

Baby’s dad was amazing when my baby girl was born for a whole 2 weeks. Then he stopped coming round I didn’t question it because I don’t want to bother him. He’s recently confided in me that he’s feeling severely depressed, and honestly, I’m unsure if I should believe him, he’s sending me snaps of him laughing with ...

I literally have £4 to my name and it's my little girls 1st birthday on Saturday and Christmas around the corner and she has nothing , she needs new clothes and nappies . Her Dad doesn't care she has no presents etc and says I will have to ' manage'- I have literally had to beg him for money for bread and mil...

So my little one has recently been crying in the morning I when I leave for work or even when I go to the toilet, bearing in mind I have been back to work for over a year now and it’s the first time he’s actually been upset that I have to leave him, up until a few weeks ago, my MIL looks after him whilst am at work ...

My lo is 7 weeks and infacol only helped up until roughly 4 weeks, using colief drops for colic which is helping but still very bothered with trapped wing! Any one who’s used dentinox would you recommend?

Like when did you start feeling comfortable going places without worrying about accidents? (Comment kids age when you started potty training?)

My husband never used to do it but after 3 years he started commenting every now and then about other women's bodies so I don't know how to feel. All my life I have been insecure about my very small and saggy boobs and he told me a few times things like: "Every man loves boobs" Or "The bigger boobs the better", so I...

In anyway? I'm being foreal not trying to be funny because he will be 33 soon he says he's trying to make it out here like everyone else but it's hard because he's by hisself and doesn't have the help anyway.

My husband and I have been together for quite a while, and we've always been on the same page about children (we both wanted 2-3). Shortly before having our daughter, he's changed his mind. Now he says having any more would be a deal breaker for him. I absolutely want at least one more, and I really don't want my da...

When did your little one become dry at night?

My daughter is about to be 4 months old. Several people have recommended that I introduce cereal already, but I was thinking of waiting until she's at least 5 months. I also would like to find a cereal that is organic, has more natural ingredients and is infused with iron. Any recommendations for a good one?

I’m losing my damn mind with my 3 year old girl. She’s just fighting me on everything and purposefully being difficult. I’ve always been strict so I don’t understand why she thinks she can push it so much. But I’m just losing it because I hate yelling/ punishing her. I don’t know what to doooooo 🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠

My little one is constantly sucking on his hands even when his not hungry! He is 13 weeks old anyone else’s the same? 😅

Does anyone else’s child make you sit on the floor like children at school and kinda play schools? Just curious if we are being stupid as is Saturday night and our child (7 years) is teaching us about romans , we have watched a video and then we had to write things down about it, are or would you do this????

As we’re coming up to a year post partum, I was wondering what advice people would give to themselves if they could go back to the early days? Mine would be ‘everything is a phase’
