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’

My May baby still tries to eat so many not food items such as dirt, play dough and crayons. I thought he would grow out of putting these things in his mouth. He gets extremely distressed when I try and stop him. It’s not like he plays and then tries some. If I get the play dough out he will grab it and immediately p...

Anyone else’s child’s behaviour gotten really bad since starting school? Full of attitude & answering back! Apparently she’s very polite & well mannered at school. We’ve tried talking to her, taking toys off her, stopped her going to her clubs but it’s like she doesn’t care. Literally losing the will😩

I recently posted about my husband leaving our baby unsupervised on higher surfaces to wash his hands or to grab something, mostly on the changing table or baby bouncer without using the straps. Well, he did it again today. Baby was in the bouncer without the straps attached and he went across the room to grab som...

My LO is 20 months old and has become so fussy. He will happily eat breakfast but then refuses lunch and dinner and prefers to snack throughout the day. It’s getting to the point where he would happily not eat if it’s something he doesn’t want. He used to eat anything and everything and then became fussy at around 1...

Okay so what is your opinion on activities that you find to bring your babies(play dates)i just came out from one and feel super bad my daughter was trying to touch the other baby arm and trying to be friendly and after everything finished a lady comes and say she was like agressive because of that.I feel that if yo...

Hi guys, so we’ve been on a weaning journey for a couple of weeks now. Just purées atm as he’s 6 months on the 19th but he was giving all the signs (NO HATE PLEASE). Nothing major, just every now and again and he’d taste it but then spit it all back out which I expected but the last week (as we’ve had the thumps up ...

Anyone’s 13 month old just decided to eat absolutely zero food every day? 😅😅

What do you pack in your child’s lunch box for nursery for a fully day ?

Does anyone else child happily do a 9/12 piece puzzle but struggle with a 4 piece? It seems backwards. But it’s not just on one puzzle…? 🤔

I’m sorry, but my husband is the laziest father I have ever known. I’ve only ever seen him change 2 NAPPIES since our child became a toddler. His excuse is “he doesn’t like toddler poop, he’ll be sick”. FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! Barely plays with our child unless I call him out on it. I’ve helped our child hit every mile...

Hi , I have three year old twins, my son is autistic. I am really struggling to give them both quality time. They don't play well together because my son finds it hard to share and is possessive over toys. My daughter tries to play with him but they end up both getting upset. If I try to spend time with my son then ...

I’m wanting to get some basic arts and crafts stuff for my boy for Christmas but I’m struggling to find any sets suitable for as low as 18mo! Anyone know of any or other ideas?

She has to be in an absolutely perfect mood to be put down. Even when she’s in a great mood, I still can’t put her down sometimes. I can’t even put her down on the floor next to me. Sometimes I can’t even lay her down on the bed next to me with my arm around her, she has to be on me to fall asleep. Even if my husban...

Is anyone else’s little ones really bad when it comes to food? My son turned one last week. And he’s just terrible with eating! He’s such a fussy eater and whatever I give him he’ll just fling most of it on the floor. Or he’ll leave it in his mouth for a few minutes then spit it out. It’s driving me crazy!

My son is 2. Thursday he spent the day throwing up and only wanting half a banana and milk. Friday he ate half a banana for breakfast, nothing for lunch, and I had to basically bribe him to eat half a McDonald's small fries at dinner. We bought him a happy meal hoping that it would get him back to eating something a...

I found some dungarees that I would love to get for my son who is 4, but my husband thinks he is too old for that. Now that I think about it, I have never seen children older than 2 in dungarees...

Long story short my husband wants to separate. He works blue collar and wants to travel for work and live in a camper. He says he’ll come home once a month and take the kids for a week as far as a custody agreement. They are currently 4 months and 20 months old. I assume he’ll leave his camper where ever he’s work...

Is it OK for them to run around indoors?

Hey! Wondered if anyone had started getting LO to help with making meals or food prep or baking. Looking for ideas for stuff to make with my son that is totally safe to eat raw in case he has a munch a long the way and also really simple and easy for an under 2 year old. He doesn't really have much understanding of ...
