August 2024 Babies 🇬🇧

My little one is 19 months old. And I had a gut feeling to take a test (evening time so not first wee). Idk if I’m being paranoid

Looking round the toys - most gifted and honestly we're bored of them. They seem to be a bunch of plastic toys that dont actually help with motor skills or development- some a bit older age and role play/imagination play so will come in handy but otherwise ....bored! What are your LOs playing with?

Anyone recommend a cover for the pram to protect from the sun. With the warmer weather approaching?

I'm broken by all these battles and tantrums already...all day over everything from nappy changes to changing direction on a walk, having to put socks and shoes on to go out, if I don't put teletubbies on for him... everything...😭. I'm not really going out alone unless in the pram much anymore, it's too risky, he's too unpredictable and hates being guided or picked up or put in high chairs

I just want to some reassurance or someone to say that its the same for them, because im really struggling.

My little boy has always preferred dad, and it breaks my heart and makes me feel like a terrible mum. I spend slightly more time with him, I work 4 days, dad works 5, so I feel like he should have the attachment to me?

I wonder what ive done wrong to make him never want me. Whenever hes upset he just wants his dad. Whenever he wakes up hes shouting dada from his cot. When his dad isnt there he is fine with me looking after him but if dad is at home, he doesnt want me. And it's been like this for as long as hes been able to show a preference.

Its putting me off having another child because I think I must be a terrible mum for him to feel like that.
