Dentist recommendation please in Knaresbrough, Harrogate or Wetherby.

This may seem like an obvious one but I’m looking for a good baby and child friendly Dentist.

I’ve struck gold with my GPs who are amazing whenever we’ve had to go to the Doctors. They truly understand how to approach little ones and build trust and confidence, so looking for a similar in a Dentist.

Any recommendations I’d really appreciate it xxx

How much is enough??

My baby starts solids next week and Im trying to plan ahead. Im wondering how much is too much, especially in the early days. I see conflicting things about 1-2 tablespoons, but some babies are eating whole meals.

My plan for day 1 is pureed ground beef/breastmilk on a preloaded spoon with an avocado spear. We are having taco night! And the plan for the rest of the month is fairly similar, prioritizing allergen exposure and iron. So 1 puree (with 1-3 foods) and 1 finger food. Should I offer more? Picture of my beautiful baby boy so we dont get lost! He's getting so big 😭

Would you be annoyed?

Husband went out last night to a pub quiz (absolutely fine) however his lift home was with his friends new girlfriend who arrived totally drunk yet he still got in the car. He said it was awkward to refuse and get a taxi in front of others. He's 36 years old and I honestly thought he'd do better when he has a family at home. I'm so pissed off with him!

Do you let your toddlers/little kids play in puddles? Assuming they have boots on.

My kids love playing in puddles. A friend told me she never lets her kid because they could get dysentery if they accidentally get some in their mouths.

A teeny bit sad today

My partner and I have been dedicating ourselves sooo much to our baby girl that we are struggling to find ways to stay connected to ourselves. I am really good at getting tasks done in short bursts but he isn’t. So I’m finding that I’m doing a lot and he says he feels he is falling behind. He set a goal to return to a sport while all this is going on and for some reason, this sport seems tied to him feeling good about himself. He’s wonderful at being a dad and a partner, so I’m trying to find ways to show him that. But it kind of feels like I’m taking on a little too much now with a 2 month old and my partner who doesn’t seem to be in a good place to receive my love / appreciation.

Did anyone else see this change in their partners? Almost like a depression in the dad?

Little vent

I hate to vent but it’s needed… I hate being pregnant!

This is my first pregnancy and honestly I waited so long for this and was beyond excited for the whole process.

I am so grateful to be pregnant and I can’t wait to meet my little girl but I am having a horrible time.

I’m 21 weeks and had sickness up until 19 weeks. I have no energy, absolutely exhausted all the time. I’m moody and snappy. I have 0 social battery. I’m uncomfortable.
Just over the whole thing already.

My boyfriend is amazing. Literally carrying me, he does everything for me with no complaints. I feel so guilty that I can’t just give him a positive attitude and affection.

I’m so excited to have my baby but this is the hardest thing I’ve ever done.

Childcare - 30 free hours

Trying to figure out the best way to make the 30 free hours work since you have to return to work in either September or January - had baby on 3rd Nov and wasn’t supposed to be returning until mid Oct. Are we returning early, late or just sucking it up and paying the full amount until Jan?

Keen to hear how you are all making it work!
