So I’m thinking of using a prep machine for the night feeds because I do the hot shot method with the rapid cool but I want to know if anybody is using a prep machine if so are you cleaning it regularly or what

I'm in a toxic living situation with my family. Was evicted from my apt, car totaled, have to stay with my family in a small hotel.. My mom and brother bxtch every second they get. My son has autism he's 5 and I try my best with him. I'll buy food for the house but I can't touch or eat certain things even though I...

Anyone having crazy mood swings and getting angry at their partner for no reason? I mean I got angry recently because (although not his fault) his life hasn’t changed yet while for me/us women, it changes from the moment you see that test. All the not drinking, paying attention to this or that, avoiding some foods,...

Does anyone else feel this way? Just need to vent: My son is just starting to sit up now but can’t quite do it on his own. I feel like he can’t play on his own for more than a few seconds/minutes. Is anyone’s baby sleeping through the night? He wakes up usually once but he has been sick so it’s been more. I feel l...

My husband is at work and I just got my housecoat off the hook in the bathroom and caught a whiff of his pants 🙈 they smell like him so I took a good sniff 😅 i miss him so much and its only monday 💔 anybody else do this??

My place is getting cluttered with toys especially after Christmas. She has 3 horses and only uses 1. She still has her baby car which she could sit in and mess with she barely uses anymore except sometimes. She has a play pen full of stuffed animals which we won’t get rid of because she loves stuffed animals but.. ...

So me and my bf been together for 5 years now, we met online and after meeting up it was an instant connection kinda, I was single(but not alone) for a long time and di...

My toddler goes to daycare twice a week, recently she’s started playing up after daycare to the point she’s making herself be sick. Shes really well behaved until she goes there. I just lost it, she was screaming and screaming head butting things and I shouted stop at her😭😭I have a 7 week old and I don’t know what…

Nursery changed my daughters key worker without telling me. I noticed since a few weeks that another staff member was collecting and bringing my child and that the same staff member was doing all the updates in the app. This person was in another room first so now she is in my daughter’s room. When I saw her key wor...

So long story short my partner was in care as a kid due to his mum not being able to handle him and his behaviour. Because of this the midwife wants a social worker to come out and do an assessment even though she has no concerns😅 I’m more than likely sure that we had to have this with our eldest but this was 3…

How long it take for your child to settle at nursery? My son has started childcare last week. Was supposed to do 3 hours a day but have been doing 45 mins. Apparently he cried constantly without stopping. The first few days we're hard, he couldn't stop crying when we picked him up. But now he's coping better after b...

I have an almost 5 month old and we are going through a lot of stuff. I’m also a first time mom and I feel like I can’t do anything through the day. My house is a mess, my sleep is a mess, I have 0 time for myself. Her sleep is a mess at the moment…I think she might be teething and she’s fussy and hard to please at ...

My husband and I have been together for almost 12 years, he was my best friend and my biggest fan. These past almost 3 years have been rough and keeping it honest, it’s been my “fault”. I had a rough pregnancy and was completely useless around the house, I just went to work and that was it. Im 2 years pp now and I h...

I’m really struggling and need advice because I feel like my relationship is falling apart. I’m 9 weeks postpartum, and while I understand the baby is my main responsibility during the day since my partner works full-time (from home), I feel like I’m carrying most of the mental load—chores, cooking, shopping, and c...

Please tell me I’m not alone, My son is just not a happy baby, unless he’s asleep or feeding. I have a 2.5year old and she was never like this, he cries constantly, he’s always so unsettled and I’m just feeling so exhausted everyday 😥 He’s currently on prescription milk for a potential allergy & gaviscon sachets…

So I’m reading earlier that people are intimate once a week or more, we barely are affectionate, he barely kisses me, no hugs, no wanting me at all. We have one child together. I don’t help the matter, when we do, I feel so creeped out and don’t want him touching me, it almost disgusts me, he’s done absolutely nothi...

So am I over reacting! My partners mum asked if she can borrow our family car for a few days to travel up north ( which I have been driving) & I would have her car. I got very defensive and he knows I don’t like driving that because I’m scared it’s going to breakdown on me when I have the kids. I’ve told him that m...

Me and my husband have my step son (his son) ever other week for the whole weekend. If you are in the same position how long does your husband/partner stay at his exs house when dropping the child off. A couple of times my husband has stayed for an hour, personally I think that's way to long, but am I just overreact...

So for multiple reasons (bad mouthed my mum, said she felt hurt I bought my own double buggy, told my pregnancy news to her parents when we said keep quiet, tries to force us to see her parents regularly and guilt trips when we don’t etc) I dislike my partners mum. I had a good relationship with her previously but s...

We just had a baby 5 months ago. And he keeps talking about eventually having another but I’m scared. I’m scared I can barely take care of the one we have and myself. I’m scared of having our daughter feel left out or drift apart from cause I’m focused on the baby. Also went through a bad pregnancy where I was throw...
