Potty training

My 3 year old has been showing signs to potty train, he then digressed. Spoke to the HV and they told me to go cold turkey, he's in pants now and has been for 4 days. We're still mainly having accidents. He's started running to the toilet when he realises that he's peeing but other than that I don't know if we should take a break and try again in a week. He's been successful once a day so far. What would you do??

Idiot husband

I am fuuuuming. Livid. Hubby went out to the pub last night, not a problem, you deserve it after a long week at work.

We have a baby and toddler.. so I said, sleep in the other room, take our toddlers monitor, as I don’t want you to disturb the baby.

I wake up to my toddler screaming, WITH HIM SLEEPING THROUGH IT!!!! When I checked her camera she was crying for 8 minutes. She has been awake over an hour now because she fully woke herself up crying so much. Her words: ‘daddy didn’t come’

Needed a space to rant before I actually go and bop him on the bloody nose😡😡😡😡

Baby girl enjoying her first slice of pizza

I was just giving her pieces off my slices. She kept a screeching until I gave her a slice of her own.

Edit: she ate one full slice and the toppings off a second

Nursery fund process

Can anyone please explain how does the nursery fund process work. I'm supposed to return to work mid September and I'm really stressed about what to do. When should I start looking for nurseries and how does the funding from the government works. I would appreciate if someone could explain in details.

Am I doing this wrong ?? 🥲🥲

My baby just turned 9 months old and I move had her on purées since 6 months. She’s now on thicker and lumpier purées but after she was doing a better job at eating 2 meals a day she’s now back to refusing food most of the time. She’d take a spoonful or 2 and I can tell she likes the taste but then she’d refuse to eat any more. She used to do this at 7 months I can’t believe we’re back to this again 😭😭

I don’t know what I’m doing wrong here… should I just go the BLW route instead ?? Am I progressing her too slowly into solids?

Any WFH moms with little/no childcare?

I start back to work from home in a little over a week. My LO will be almost 4 months then (16 weeks). What are your best tips and tricks to make things go smoothly for you and for baby?

Weening

I’m a chef by trade but never for a baby 😂 ok so I’ve been weening my daughter since 4 months old she’s had purées and has been smashing them since the first day, for her 6 month “half birthday” we made her a whole stake and she’s refused to touch the purées since, I ordered a baby cook book but it’s only got recipes for 10 months plus. Best solid foods to give my 6 month old? She won’t even eat the fruit purees anymore the stake has turned her savage 😂 thank you all! Xx
