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...

Hi, sorry if I sound a bit silly. When people say they’ve started potty training, does that mean no nappies or just offering the potty so they get used to using it?

I went to drop my daughter off at nursery this morning and I was running a little later then usual. As I got to the door I heard it she’s not here by half 8 she ain’t getting breakfast. Which is the rule but Is this not rude to say about a 1 year old 🥲?

We dont let my daughter use our tablet often but right now when she uses it she plays khan academy kids and duolingo kids, in need of more educational apps please!!!

I feel like I can’t relax until things are in order and tidied, then like to get out the house for my well being even for a walk or to the shops etc. But feel guilty that my little girl is with me the whole time but I’m not fully present or I’m in a rush to do the next thing. I’m aware I’m doing it, but can’t switc...

I keep getting told by my ex that my relationship with my 16 year old son is not normal and it’s making me so angry and I feel sick from his comments. Sorry need to ask people’s advice so my 16 year old son has autism and I do stuff for him I drive him around cos he doesn’t like getting on public transport. He messa...

Are they worth going to if you have a toddler (a 2.5 year old toddler)…. or am I stretching it by going - is it more just aimed at babies?
