How/where do you let your newborn sleep while having a toddler? I can’t get much done because I need to make sure my toddler doesn’t hit my newborn as she sleeps. Toddler (22 months) is super active and has a heavy hand, testing boundaries, full swing if the terrible twos) We can’t send him to nursery either (we ...

Mine is ‘she plays so well independently’. I just have to nod and smile rather than saying what I want which is “yes, that is a direct result of my postpartum depression and 2 abdominal surgery’s, she plays well independently because I both mentally and physically couldn’t get down on the floor to be with her.” Pl...

What’s your opinions on tonieboxes if you have one for your littles? I won’t be getting one until she’s 2, when she may not be so heavy handed with things, but I wanted to know if you all think it’s worth it, or give an alternative? I know a lot of family members struggle to buy things for children so young so it wo...

Hi, my 11 wk old is literally attached to me. She cannot be put down and has to be held all day/or needs contact naps. I wondered if anyone was facing the same and had any tips so I can just make a cuppa or run to the loo 😂. Does it get better? Ftm, so any information would be good. X

My son is 10 months old and he’s been suffering from hayfever the last couple of days (I have it bad). I’m feel for the little man! He’s highly sensitive and wants to be held all the time.

Hello, I hope you are well, I'll tell you what's happening. I have a 2 year old daughter and I just found out I'm pregnant, my husband is happy, my in-laws too, but for some reason I feel like my family isn't so happy. I have to admit that I personally feel conflicted about this new baby on the way, but on the one h...

Has anyone started pumping at 35 weeks and it made them go into labor? I got the ok to pump at 35 weeks since I’m not high risk and Ik I should let labor naturally start on its own but I just wanted to hear everyone’s story

Anyone else feel they get lack of sleep through their baby making noises? I feel like I’m wide awake listening to grunting, stretching, dreaming etc 🙃😂

Lately my baby is doing really well at napping at home. She will nap for 1 and a 1/2 hours twice a day if I let her. But I feel so trapped in the house! As I have to be in all morning until after her first nap (we do breakfast first thing) and then back straight after lunch for her second nap. Just feel like I never...

My little boy has stopped sleeping through the night, he wakes up at least once most nights twice, and I end up just falling back to sleep in bed with him. He has 1 nap about 10:30-12/12:30. If your LO is sleeping through the night, are you capping their nap & waking them up? What time are they having a nap?

I am getting a lot of unsolicited opinions and advice about my pregnancy, the birth and once the baby is here. How can I deal with this without getting stressed out or annoyed at the people? I do want to talk about all of these things as it's exciting and the biggest part of my life right now but I'm really strugg...

Hey everyone. My LO is 3 in September and all of a sudden he has started showing a lot of what I can only see as anger. He screams at the top of his lungs to get what he wants e.g. Tv (which we're trying to cut out). When he doesn't get what he wants he slams himself to the floor; headbutting, kicking and biting him...
