Teething

Please help, I have a very grumpy boy who is cutting 2 bottom teeth, he is just moaning none stop in the day and up all night crying. No fever so not using Calpol. Does anyone have anything that’s worked ?

Anbesol was the only thing that helped my first, too!

calpol is not just for fevers, if baby is in pain and discomfort you can use it.
my boy had no signs of teething except irritability and discomfort, i gave/give him calpol.

initially i felt guilty but my HV said, if you had a headache you’d take paracetamol so if you can see your baby is teething and uncomfortable why not do the same.

I dont know if it’s a myth but my daughter who is 5 and my boy who’s 6 months wore and is wearing an amber teething bracelet round his ankle under his sock, my daughter never murmured once regarding teething! So far baby boy hasn’t either so we shall see xx

Ashton and parsons teething powder is a life saver 🧡

Try baby nurofen for pain relief if really bad

Anbesol gel/liquid, Ashton teething powder

But the only thing that helped us was Nurofen and a amber teething braclet

I don’t know if this is 100% true because this is our first baby but I’ve seen somewhere that amber bracelet helps a lot so we’ve been buying them since she was born! We just keep On changing size. I’ve noticed first tooth today

Nursery funding

My child turned 9 months last week. I applied for government funded hours nearly 2 months ago and so well within the required timeframe for the April term, however upon receiving my first invoice without the funding applied and having questioned this, I have now been informed that the stretched funding doesn’t start until 4th May.

Has anyone else been told it won’t start until May?

The government site states it should start from April 1st, and so I intentionally set my nursery start and return to work as the start of April for that reason, knowing that I wouldn’t be able to afford the nursery on my sole income without the funding

Anyone work for the NHS and does 12 hour shifts? How do you work around childcare and your partners job?

He has no respect for anything to do with me.

Husband and I decided to separate 3 days ago. I've been sleeping on the floor in the kids room, and we both have to stay in the same apartment for a while. He wont stop pushing little things and I am reaching my limit. Photos in comments

Toddlers

How often are your toddlers asking for food? My oldest who is 3 just finished a whole plate of food and not even 10 minutes later he’s requesting more food. I know he’s going through a growth spurt, but how do you respond to this.

Is this normal?

Is it just my husband that does this? He is able to work from home via his computer and in the mornings and evenings he is on there doing his job. When he is done for the day he tends to stay in the room and either play video games or watch something. He will occasionally come out and play with the girls for a few minutes and that’s it but when I really need him he says he is busy. My daughters are both 1 year old now and I am just wondering how much involvement should he have with them now?
Idk if this is the norm or not…..

Identity crisis?

Am I the only sahm who feels like they have lost their identity??? I don’t make money for my family, when I used to make great money. But I refuse to drop my under a year old baby off with strangers.
My husband works so much. But I have no control over bringing in money and I’m a control freak type of person! I feel l like I’m losing my grip because we are kind of broke, but day care would only eat up my income anyways! So what’s the point. I’m a workaholic and now I’m just a twitching bum.
I wish I could work from home but so far that’s a fake dream. I’m almost 9 months pp, and I just need to know these awful mood swings and depression will end soon! Send wine!
