Yes 😂 she chucks herself on the floor when she isn't getting what she wants. She's developing a bit of a mean streak lately too, hitting at me. When she's like that, hitting me, I just walk away and not give her attention, within a few minutes she's calmed down. Works more than telling her no because she gets more riled up when I say no.

Oh my!! This is my LG too and I am so so lost, unable to give in...

Yes they don't understand the concept of no so you have to remove that word and find a different way to say it.
So maybe no you can't have that - time to pop it back on the shelf and then distraction.
You can't have that but you can hold this for me etc

This has made a massive difference to my little girls behaviour x

Any September 2025 babies crawling yet

My little one isn’t crawling yet but he loves tummy time

Did you know this was a thing?

Didn’t know this existed! I’m actually not breastfeeding 2nd time round (though wish I did) after a bad experience with my 1st baby. But this is something I 100% needed 1st time round.

Screeching baby

I have twin boys, 5months.

One is very quiet

The other... is like a pterodactyl who screeches when bored, tired, hungry, as soon as he wake up to be held etc...
This habit has only just started!

Has anyone else experienced this and how long did it last?
So far it has been about 5 days 😭😭😭😭

How do you dry your 🐱?

Looking to settle a debate with husband, he is teaching our girls to dry themselves after they shower, i am teaching them to dry to a certain point on the inside but not between

Circumcision, please help

I know it can be a really sensitive topic, but I feel really underinformed about whether I should choose to circumcise or not if we end up having a boy.
For context: we are very non-religious, but I worry about the stigma of being non-circumcised when he would start to get interested in dating, navigating cleaning it and the risk of infection especially as he gets older and navigating potty training at daycare and stuff. I also worry about the increased risk of penile cancer. But then I also hate the thought of making my baby go through a major surgery unnecessarily and would prefer for them to make the choice when they are older if they choose to get circumcised.

How did you make your choice? Does anyone regret their choice?

Joie Signature Parcel LX lightweight stroller

Has anyone got this stroller? Up until now we have used our mamas and papas ocarro and we love it. However we are going on holiday in June and looking at a lightweight stroller to take with us. I'm not bothered if it fits in overheard locker, I would rather have decent wheels on the stroller and this one does have slightly bigger wheels than most travel strollers we have seen. Has anyone used this stroller abroad or got any other recommendations? TIA x
