January 2025 Babies 🇬🇧

My 20month old son is obsessed with cars- we play cars all day, mainly just say car all day, go out for walks to see cars and now we are obsessed with the cars film. Anyone else ? 😂

Looking for tips and tricks . My first long haul flight (12 hours + 😬) with my LO. We have travelled a few times before but the longest was 5 hours and babe was younger and not mobile. I’m in a bit of panic now , worried about tantrums and big feelings. It’s a night flight , so hoping for couple of hours of sleep. Anyone who has experienced a long haul flight with their toddler - how did you manage ? I am going to put LO in pjs, have some toys /entertainment ( not too many), and snacks. Also carrying a small tablet with some stuff on it like Miss Rachel .

My 19 month olds sleep is horrendous! She takes 45mins - an hour to fall asleep and wakes up an hour or so later and then another few more times. I’d say every other night she wakes up in the middle of the night and will be awake for 2-2.5 hours 😩 It’s draining me! She’s waking up more than my 5 month old!!!

She naps for around 1.5 hours at around 12pm.

I don’t even know what to do anymore. Anyone else experiencing something similar?

Its a bit of a confusing experience, sometimes i wanna rip my hair out, sometimes I want to absolutely gobble him. We're definitely somewhere 🤣

Somedays are more tiring than others but I am honestly so glad I'm a mum

Is anyone else just finding this stage really, really hard? The tantrums, the not listening, my LO is fully in their hitting and kicking era. I get told I’m a good Mum but the point is that my LO doesn’t make me FEEL like I’m a good Mum if that makes sense? I took them out this morning and I felt like everyone was watching their behaviour. I looked around and it felt as though every other Mum/toddler was having a lovely time. I ended up cutting our trip short as I had enough and cried as soon as I got in the car. I find it easy to open up and to speak to friends about how I feel, but the hard bit in that is I find very rarely do I get met with ‘yes we’re going through that too!’ I feel like there’s such a thing with people wanting to make out things are perfect rather than just being honest!
