Did anyone potty train without the naked phase? How did that go? It's too cold to be half naked & there's no way I'd can stay house bound with my bouncy toddler, she needs to blow off steam outside. How did you manage going out while training?

I am seeing so many posts about potty training but I’ve not even started with my little boy who was 2 on the 18th. He tells me when he has done a poo but not when he needs it. He has sat on the potty and we have had one wee and one poo thought this was a sign but then he wasn’t interested anymore. Should I be tryi...

I've lost it today, snapped. Baby is nearly 7 weeks old, I've come on my period, he's not been sleeping and everyday I'm not eating enough because I'm constantly being sidetracked cleaning up messes my partner and kids are apparently blind to, keeping up with washing otherwise it will mount to unmanageable amounts. ...

I am wanting more ways to entertain my little one now he has longer periods of wake time. He doesn't seem bothered about toys. He is more interested in socialising with people... Being spoken to, sang to, bouncing him around etc. He likes looking in the mirror too but just wondering what objects/toys I can encourage...

My baby daddy has a criminal record and tends to hang around a bad crowd. He says he doesn’t anymore but I am so used to him lying that idk what to think anymore. He lost his job a couple months ago for stealing from the company, got a new job and lost it for fighting at work, got a new job and was recently suspende...

My son is 2 years old. He just turned 2 in December. Every morning for the last week has been a war to do ANYTHING for him in the morning. He’s hungry. Ok eat this. Nope. One bite I’m done. Still hungry ok. Eat this. Nope. One bite. I’m done. Sometimes I make him that food and I give it to him and he freaks out and ...

What would you do in this situation? I’ve just walked down to the park with my 15 month old and inside the actual play area, there was a group of teenage boys, and then another one on a motocross kinda bike riding up the field beside it. I carried on but just went to the other side of the play area, and then reali...

My daughter has started nursery this week and it’s only her second day and I think I’m struggling way more than she is. The nursery have said she’s happily playing away and really enjoying herself. Meanwhile I’m in the house with my 4 month old son and I’m in bits. The house is so quiet without her. I think it’s me ...

Hi! 👋🏻 Hope everyone is doing well and so are their little ones. My husband and I have spoken at length on this topic so I am wondering, is anyone out there is in the same situation? We haven’t finalised a decision but are really considering having just the one child. We love bringing our son into the world and…

Is it just my baby or anyone else facing this? She only associates with things/toys by eating it, doesn't try to play, learn or explore. Straight up grab and in the mouth. I don't know if she's hungry or that's her way of exploring. I try and breastfeed her as much as she wants. Started solids this week and she see...

I have been with the father of my son for about 4 years. In the beginning he said he didn't want kids but came around to the idea and when I was pregnant seemed really excited. But now that our son is here I feel like its just me taking care of him. He's a breastfeed baby so I know that he depends on me a lot but I ...

Mine are almost 2 and almost 1. I never eat as I’m constantly helping them and doing other things with them. What do all of you do to eat in peace? I refuse to eat on the go and in a stressful situation..

When me and my husband met. I said I wanted 4 and my husband said he wanted 3. I was always very adamant I wanted a big family. Now that we have had a child I want 3 and he wants 1 I feel like he is making it out to be a compromise at the fact he will give me another 1. I feel a little bit betrayed? I am tryin...
