November 2019 Babies 🇬🇧

Any advice please… My son will be 3 in November & has always slept really well with just the occasional blip. (Usually 7/7.30 - 7/7.30) But over the past week or so he has been getting really upset at bedtime & taking 30mins+ to get to sleep. He’s also started waking at 5.30 & getting out of bed saying he doesn’t like it in bed or he’s scared of the dark even though there’s a light on. He is still napping, the time varies everyday depending on when he woke up, & it’s usually for an hour. He didn’t nap one day last week & was hysterical by 5pm. I’m so drained by it & just don’t know what to do!

So let’s cut to the chase. My 2 yr old won’t sleep through night in his own bed and I’m scared to start potty training !!! What’s wrong with me xx

So I have a son who is gonna be 3 in November. I have only 1 proper in person friend but she’s 50mins drive from me and her daughter is same age and she’s super amazing person.

However other than that I literally don’t have any friends or support network (except my husband) and I just wondered how everyone copes? Do you have have 1 person to talk to is that enough? Or do you have bigger groups that you established before getting pregnant?

I struggle to make friends and I dunno how to change this, I really want to make friends that aren’t gonna be mean, or dramatic. Like I want healthy adult friends with trust and kindness

I just feel so bad that my son doesn’t have any actual friends, because I’ve not been able to make any friendships with other mums. I was the first in my friend group to have a baby and lost all my friends and I struggle to find anyone that really wants to connect on a genuine level. I live a fairly isolated life living rurally, I quit my job during covid so I am a SAHM but have gone to baby club for almost a year now. 2 times a week.

I don’t have family closeby either and my husband works away, I just feel very alone with having no woman friends and overwhelmed with life, currently pregnant with twins, which was a shock.

Not really sure what I expect from the post, but if anyone else feels this way just know your not alone 💕

Can you catch a sickness bug without being sick? My son has been doing a cough/gag for a few days and is quieter than normal. He’s barely eating but otherwise seems pretty fine in himself. I’m driving myself nuts trying to work out what’s wrong with him as he definitely isn’t 100% himself but isn’t showing typical poorly symptoms! He will brush his teeth at night but not in the morning (pulls a face and does the cough that looks like he might vom) and will only eat certain crisps and sometimes a yoghurt but even that made him gag this morning. It’s been going on for almost 3 days now but he hasn’t been sick! Also does the cough more at night as he’s gone to bed then settles into decent sleep around 9.30pm and in the morning for the first couple of hours of being up and about.

Hi my lg is 2 years and 4 months, I am looking to start potty training with her and would love some tips. She is definitely ready as she recognises when she has used her nappy but I am unsure of how to start. Any hints or tips would be great, thanks.
