Hey mamas how many Oz are you feeding ur babies? Mine drinks 6 but doesn't seem hungry but tries to eat anything he can get his hands on. So do I need to up him or just keep him at that. He's also on purees.

Is your child potty trained yet? I am planning to start from next week. Please let me know what and how you did and how many days you took to potty train? I am so stressed at work and I am not ready to start it yet as I know potty training can be stressful for parents . But my LO is hating to wear diapers lately...

What are you getting your little ones for their birthday? Also what sort of gifts are you gifting to others for their 1st birthday? Ideas for both girl/boy please. My daughter loves little figures at the moment but I'm unsure what ones are the safest or the ones worth getting the most.. I have a big gap between he...

Just need help! Feel like a bad mother, basically I have a 1 year old and I'm struggling to let him go on to solid food because I have a massive fear of him choking 😔 I went through a very traumatic time because my brother passed away from choking 😢 now I have the biggest fear ever , I give him baby food like 12m…

I feel bad for even posting this. Not even sure what I think I will get out of it to be honest. I have a little girl who is 4 months old, she is the light of my life but lately I feel as if I’m doing everything on my own. I am on maternity leave until October and my partner is currently working. He also has issues...

It's not a joke it's a serious question (dumb hurts too 🤣)

My baby boy is 7.5 months, he's exclusively breastfed and it's on the 99th percentile weight wise (nearly 11kg). I tried to give him first food when he was about 6.5 months, but he never really wanted it. Since then I'm trying various things, purees, yoghurt etc and he's not having anything, few days ago he ate a ti...

My daughters clingy but worse on other days..when my partner gets home she still would rather me than him. I wait all day for help then she just wants me to do everything not him. Its so mentally challenging having a toddler constantly clinging to ur leg & always wanting to be carried or picked up If i dont pick her...

My LO had her settle in session today at nursery. I stayed for most of it but towards the end, they took her out to play. It was for around 20 minutes, and she cried hysterically for all of it. When they eventually handed her back to me, she was absolutely exhausted. Since we returned home, she’s been really clingy ...

Anyone have a kiddo who is a gestalt language processor? We’ve just discovered that this is what’s up with our 3 year old. It’s severe. Anybody else? I guess it makes sense for why life is so difficult with ours. It’s always been puzzling to me like why the hell is this SO hard. At 3 certain things shouldn’t be thi...

So currently having a disagreement with another single mum. She claims she works 37.5 hours a week with a 3year old and 12 year old. And 4 days a week she works from home with her 3 year old and another 3 year old she looks after. I have a 3 year old and I know other mums of 3 year olds and they are none stop can’t ...

Anyone else absolutely fucking sick of cleaning and tidying everyday for it just be a shit tip again a couple of hours later 😭 I used to really make the most of cleaning in my sons nap time but the older he’s getting the harder it’s getting and I need nap time to just chill 🤣 I would 1000% have a cleaner if I could…

Apologies in advance this is a long winded post… I’m currently 6 weeks pp and really starting to question my relationship with my partner. Currently we are renting and we are halving the bills equally, £500 each, however after paying rent and my own bills it’s leaving me with £90 a month for “myself” which by all ...

Hi My baby is 10 months and still isn’t particularly interested in actual food, he still much prefers to have a bottle. Is this normal or is there something more I should be doing?

I’ve noticed about a week ago when I gave my toddler some buttered bread that he was only eating the butter and leaving the bread. He then kept asking me to me top up the butter and just kept eating it off the bread. It’s now turned into a full blown obsession. If he sees the block of butter out he asks for it lik...

My BD and I bought a house together back in August. We did it for leverage and so my son could grow up in a decent neighborhood. However we knowingly went into it about our complex issues. I just learned last night that he is ONLY doing it for our son and isn't really interested in the family dynamic. Lately, I'v...

My child is 2 end of next month and I've suddenly felt this pressure to start potty training. Don't even know where to start especially for night times 😵‍💫

We're doing a mixture of purees and BLW and have been doing purees since 4 months. Curious as to how much food your little ones are actually having each meal as I am not sure if my boy is eating loads or nothing compared to others 🤣 Our routine is: Wake - 7oz Bottle Breakfast - Porridge (huge bowl!) 10am - Snack…

does anyone find that there partners are hands on? hate feeling like this but i am really struggling with my partner i feel like i have to ask him to look after our son sometimes, give him he due he does and helps with night shifts etc, but sometimes he moans when doing it and watches how long he had him for and moa...

I just need to vent. I don't want to sound ungrateful as I'm not, I appreciate anything anyone buys for my little one. But my MIL is on another planet. Today is my little ones birthday, and my MIL sent her a present, which was a mixture of Easter and birthday bits. That's fine, not a problem, but the box was jus...
