July 2023 Babies 🇬🇧

What’s everyone thoughts on the flu vaccine ? I’m not sure whether to get it down for my little one or not ? Any advice would be great. Thanks ☺️

Does anyone have any recommendations for shoes/trainers for toddlers with very wide feet?

My son has a lot of sensory issues and hates shoes. Crocs have saved my life over the summer as he is actually happy to put them on, however we're getting into colder months and he needs some proper shoes again. Everywhere I go they seem to be really narrow and he hates them.

Any mums in a similar position, where are you buying their shoes?

My son has started putting everything is his mouth again, but to the point it is becoming a hazard and I’m not sure how to get him to stop. It started just with toys and books, but has now escalated to him getting a step/chair and reaching into cupboards eating vitamins and even drinking cough medicine( I don’t know how he did the child lock!). I have a 5 month old too so I’m not sure if he is copying his behaviour putting things in his mouth? He’s even started going into the bin and eating things out of there and picking crumbs out of the carpet. He is supervised 99% of the time but as soon as I go to the toilet, or quickly get something from another room he immediately runs off to put something in his mouth.

I have tried to be gentle and remind him he can’t do that, but now I am concerned he is going to eat something dangerous. We have locks on all the cleaning cupboards luckily but it’s hard to keep an inventory of every possible thing within reach he could try to eat!

Has anyone been through this too? Or any tips and advice would be welcomed!

Ever since my daughter has been in her single bed she wakes up every night from 12am every 2-3 hours so she is awake 2/3 times a night it’s like the first half of the night is okay and the 2nd half is awful She wakes up comes into my room and I take her straight back to her bed and she goes to sleep again fine She has never slept in my bed before we have never co slept and I have stayed consistent with taking her back to her bed as soon as she comes in but nothing seems to be working she’s exhausted by the afternoon and so am I Has anybody got any tips? She was fine when she was in her cot never woke up and woke up around 6:45 Now she’s up 2-3 maybe 4 times a night and up around 6/615 and this has been going on every night for 2 months☹️

My son is still waking up before 6 most days and I just don’t know what to do with him on a morning (when I’m half asleep!) He has just started school nursery that doesn’t start till 8.45 (he was going to a childminder at 7.30) I don’t want to default to the TV, but it’s so hard when you are tired! Any ideas, what do others do?
