January 2025 Babies 🇬🇧

Does anyone work full time? Just asking how do you manage with a toddler? I currently work 2 days a week, set days which is very nice but I literally can’t afford to live. Every month is a struggle lately, I have a partner who is very supportive but it is a struggle.

I have the opportunity to change my set days to Monday, Wednesday and Friday, 12 hour shifts but I’m worried I’ll get burnt out, especially if she’s up in the night or very early wake ups. X

Did anyones baby get a chicken pox rash around their inner thighs, lower groin and feet area? My lo had her jabs over 2 weeks ago and she has a mild rash which doctor said could be actual chicken pox or a reaction to the jabs.

What toys can I get for my 14 month old to play with so he will be entertainmented for more than 5 mins? He has blocks, balls and some toys that are batter operated but he gets bored easily and wants me to play with him. I don't want to spend a lot. Took him the the park a few times he was scared on the swing I also take him out to my garden in a walker, about 20 mins.

How do you get your LOs to stay asleep past 5am? Trust me I’ve tried everything… I’ve capped the naps, I’ve tried 2 nap routine, 1 nap routine, tried ChatGPT, calculated her wake windows, kept her busy in the day… this has been going on for a month now; maybe longer.

When she wakes at 5am, first nap is at 8.45 for 45 minutes - hour, second nap around 2pm for 30/45 minutes. Sometimes she’ll have an hour each.

Do I need to make her bedtime later?? Her bedtime is at 7pm, I just don’t want her to be overtired.

Hi all, will be going on a holiday to Antalya first week of June.

Baby will be 17 months then, can anyone recommend what to pack please and entertainment for the 4 and a half hour flight? X
