Community Posts, Tips & Support on Toddler & Child

At our last HV visit she said that our toddler should (or should soon be able to) retrieve something from another room and bring it to us. For example we would ask "Where is your ball?" Or "Can you bring mummy your water cup?" And he should go find it and bring it to me. I said he couldn't do this because it seems q...

My LG hated feeding, BLW or Spoon feeding until I gave her some of my yoghurt off a metal tea spoon I was using and now she’ll happily eat anything off a teaspoon… is this ok for little ones?

How much food are people giving their babies? My little one is 10 and a half months old and will demolish this and sometimes have a little yoghurt to for lunch 😳 (Tuna maybe pasta with cucumber, blueberries and homemade banana and chocolate chip bread ) He still has three bottles and two good size meals, he…

I'm going to have a look around a nursery for my LO on Wednesday and wondered what type of questions others have asked about. I'll ask re feeding and nap times and how many children per staff member but just wondered if anything else 🤔

I have a 4 week old newborn and I have a LOT of help and I am still wildly overwhelmed and feel like I’m doing a terrible job. I get really frustrated, I would never hurt him but I have found myself being aggressive at times in my movements/speech that make me feel like a bad person and a bad mom. He is an easy ba...

What can I give my 7month old for lunch? She has breakfast and dinner but is unsettled through the night so I’m thinking she may still be hungry. I don’t feed her a bottle through the night haven’t done since 4months She is waking screaming from 2-4am 😭😭

Hii, I was just wondering how you'd feel about this: I have been in mental health therapy for 1 year now as I have 2 under 2 and was often really stressed and even depressed especially when I was sick and the chores would pile up for weeks and I was feeling horrible, maybe on top of everything sleepless nights and a...

I'm 5 months PP. I am starting to feel moody and resentment towards my husband. I am a first time mom, it's been a journey for my son, he has mild eczema since he was 1 month. I am consistently fighting to find a way to help him be at ease while my husband what seems to me he says, live his normal life before my son...

I take my 10 week old out maybe 3 or 4 days of the week and then the other days we chill at home in our jammies and watch TV. Does anyone else feel guilty that they're not out more? Sometimes we do a couple lazy days in a row! He seems content and chilled though which is good! Just feel guilty staying in 🫣 how much…

I’m desperate to start sorting my baby’s room and putting the few bits and pieces that we have for her in their place and seeing what else we need to buy, but my mother in law has very kindly offered to paint the nursery, but apparently is a bit of a perfectionist because it has now been 5 weeks since she started th...

so me and my partner are going through a rough spot, and i’m not sure we’re gonna get past this. in the last few months he’s shown no interest in helping with our 6 month old (unless i practically beg), he doesn’t do anything around the house, and he’s terrible with his money. just straight up irresponsible. i’ve to...

Can anyone give me any suggestions on what to feed my toddler who has vomiting and diarrhoea possible food poisoning, other than toast and crackers?

So this weekend we went to go see my parents for my toddler's 3rd birthday. I told her when we got there that my toddler doesn't need clothes, she needs toys for her age (we were having a conversation about Christmas toys) firstly she was deciding on getting our toddler her first bike.. I said no. That's a parents...

Hey, have had a manic weekend with toddler, non stop on the go. I think baby is tired and needs a rest (like me) I've had movements but reduced for 2 days and no means of anyone having my toddler for me for a few hours to pop to the hospital... What do I do 😂 my hospital don't let them in so she can't come and sit…

My toddler was diagnosed at 1 yrs old and the only thing he eats is yogurt and certain cookies and gummies. He won’t eat any type of meat rice not even nuggets or fries he kind of on and off between pancakes and French toast. I don’t know what to do. Doctors tell me it’s okay but it’s worrying me.

My live in sister thinks she’s a great aunt and I admit she is a great aunt in some aspects- she’s playful, imaginative, a great teacher but what she isn’t is a good protector. When she gets mad at me, she takes away love and attention for my year old daughter… She intentionally distances herself from her, ignores...

My little girl is 2 (3 in january) and has been out of nappies in the day since the first week of sept. She picked it up quickly and we now get no full accidents. However i would say 7/10 times she needs the toilet she dribbles in her knickers. Its like she starts going then realises so stops and then goes to the to...

Does anyone have any advice? What do I do when he comes and hangs onto my clothes while I'm cooking etc? I just need 15 minutes to atleast prepare food but he cries and hangs onto me. I have already tried redirection including buying him new toys ans setting it up for him... but it doesn't work. He also climbs on ...

Hey ladies, I’m seeking some advice as I’m feeling a bit unsure about my situation. I’m currently 15 weeks pregnant with my second baby and have a toddler at home. I’m feeling anxious about giving birth, especially because I’m usually on my own at night and don’t have any family or close friends nearby who could loo...

Me and my partner have 2 kids and we have argued and argued since day 1 we have planned to get married next year but all we do is argue I really want this to work for the sake of the kids but I am so drained of this relationship that idk what to do is there any tips to get things back on track because I really want ...
