Anyone else really struggling with anxiety due to their little one at nursery? My daughter started last week, she goes 2 days a week as I have to work. Feel sick all day as I’m not with her and worrying if she’s ok. Then she gets home, see her for 1.5 hours and it’s her bed time as she’s knackered. Then she’s going ...

For context my LG started pre school in April and loves it! Always gone in happy until she went back after Christmas. The last two days she has been so hysterical and screaming. It's been so hard to experience this! Her key worker said she calms down straight away after I leave and when I ask my LG she says she's ...

So I know I’m probably jumping the gun as I’ve not even had my baby yet! But as it grows closer I’m just so anxious about issues developing with my MIL. We get along but she has made a few comments over the last 6 months which make me wonder if she has a problem with me. Anyway, her daughter has two young kids (4 &...

My LO has came back from nursery x3 now with a sore bottom, I’m getting angrier and angrier, I’ve spoken to them every time but it still keeps happening and I’m really not sure what to do about it and does anyone have any advice? It is a thing where people ask for more spot changes…am I even allowed to do that? I...

Hi ladies, Does anyone have any experience with Nina’s Nursery in Davenport or Offerton? I am looking at sending LO a couple of days a week but would like to hear some first hand experience. Thanks ☺️

My little boy has always been a hungry boy and has always drank a lot of milk but the past couple of days his struggling with a bottle sometime not even having half of what he would have. His 11 weeks I don’t know what’s changed! Anyone else finding the same around this age?

For those who didn’t do the 3 day training (bare bum or straight to hnderwear) how long did potty training take (comment age of child too!)

Hello I am looking for some advice. Is anyone here in the health care sector? My husband is in the navy. Fortunately he is on land for the next year. However, he can do deployments of 4 months or so at a time. We don't live on base/site. We live near family. We have a 2.5 year old who will start school next Septem...

How do those of you who work from home with little ones do it? My son is 17 months now and I’m struggling with meeting my work from home hours when he’s not in daycare. Does anyone have suggestions on getting a good schedule going?

Whenever we have a slight disagreement or I ask him to pull his weight with our children this is the response I get and honestly I think I’m at the point that I don’t care if we do separate now. I really do love him but I’m so fed up of nothing changing and constantly feeling like shit because of it. I don’t rea...

1 at the end of the week 🥲 Made spaghetti bolognese, added ricotta to his portion to make it creamier. I find he eats beef much better when it’s a little creamier! Is anyone else moving away from making the dinner with three components and just making one big dinner instead?

I am literally hating myself right now. I’m pregnant with my second with a two year old. We have started potty training and my son is doing so well - we have to tell him to go to the potty but he does and we have no pee accidents (minus sleeping). But he won’t poop in the potty. Well today I saw his signs and said...

I am really just needing to vent and support. I have no one else to talk to about this. No one tells you how hard a healthy relationship is after being so hurt. It is honestly terrifying. I was in an emotionally abusive marriage for years. I was separated and divorced two years ago and have two amazing kids. Spen...

I’m in really big need of something I can put my son down in. He’s 9w and 12-13lbs and he has a swing and bouncer but he’ll maybe last 15-20 mins in them. I know soon he’ll be able to be in some type of walker or something like that but for the mean time what can I buy that yall recommend? I need to get stuff done a...

My partner is a nursing associate at the hospital and works the children ER (A&E) and I have told him several times to stop putting his clothes with our kids clothes. We have a toddler and 8 months old. I'm tired of saying this.

did your kids school get cancelled?

So I have a few questions if anyone can help me. Fist does studying count as working. I want to study to be a teacher but I can’t apply for my course unless I secure a place at a nursery first. Also would I still be able to get the free 15 hours if I don’t actually have the job/course place yet? It’s just a bit con...

If you have the choice not to send your child to nursery (family members that can look after them or are a stay at home mum) would you still choose not to send them ? Part of me wonders if he would learn important life skills at nursery, but he goes to regular clubs to socialise and also my generation when we were k...

Do you pay childminders when they go on holidays? Do you also pay in full when you take out your kids for holidays Thank you 🤩

Doing baby led weaning. Worried she’s not actually eating any of it. She just pulls it off the tray. She does put some of it to her mouth but worried she’s spitting it out. Tonight is creamy chicken pasta and I think most of it is either on the floor or on the seat of her high chair. Is this normal and should i be c...
