Anyone else’s little one just never stop eating?! He’s constantly whining for food, I’ve tried offering everything else but it’s food he wants. He has 3-4 big meals a day plus snacks. The snacks seem back to back at the minute. He just loves to eat! Anyone else?!
I appreciate this is a problem some people would rather have to baby not eating but oh man it feels never ending!!

yeah my little girl does not stop eating, you’d think I don’t give her anything at all

Omg yes! He has always been a good eater but this last week has been ridiculous! It is constant

Yeh same here he’s obsessed with food. Even nursery say it’s the only time he gets sad because he’s hungry and he makes it known! He screams the whole time I’m cooking and only snacks keep him happy but he’ll still eat all I cook 😂

Yep always been like it, he'll eat his meal then try to take mine. If I grab a snack when he's already had one he wants more. If he finds food lying around he will eat it (like biscuits he had earlier or something I don't just have food lying around 🤣)

Yep my first boy barely ate a thing (now 6yold) but my 15month old girl eats more than him…. She’s on the smaller side too so make it make sense!

I can't say any words that could mean eating (eat, food, snack, breakfast, lunch, dinner, biscuit, fruit and most fruit names) without getting a demand to eat said food. Sunday 8am cooked breakfast, slept though snack time, lunch 12.30pm, snacks at 2,3 and 4pm (normal just 3pm) she then stood at my fridge crying, hitting the fridge saying eat so we had a quick early dinner and the only distraction was singing all the songs she loves until it was ready.
She has taken me to the snack cupboard on multiple occasions before she had thr words for it. Last week she pulled her change bag down from the kitchen side, and carried/dragged it to me in the other room and said snack (there is always a little bag in there with on the go snacks) and didn't let up until she got one.
At snack and meal times, I have started saying ok, you've had enough food so this is your last bit (when she has asked for more). In the last week she has actually said done to a a few meals/snack and meant it.
How do you know when your babies are ready for food ? I know a lot of people who have started theirs at around 4 months but I can’t tell if mines ready or not and don’t want to try too soon

My husband says I’m weak minded and he wants a divorce.
I’m pregnant and we have one child together.
I currently am a stay at home mum.
I told him I’m not weak minded or jealous.
All this coming out so harshly is pure evil.
I said divorce but let me find a job first.
He did say to abort the child too.
He is happier without me.
He says first pregnancy I shown no hormonal symptoms like I am now.
Also he says never seen someone argue with their parents like me. I said my dad is a wind up and mum is hot headed.
I still speak to them after we do argue.
I said give one good quality of me.
He says I’m good at cleaning.
I said what about intelligence?
He did not say anything.
He said I hope after abortion you are fine.
I’m like wtf is wrong with you?
I am a fucking strong woman, I’m not weak minded or jealous.
Because of me he don’t have to do drop off and pick ups from nursery.
I actually will probably do an abortion as don’t want to have it with this man.
I want to leave him asap and take my son with me.

I have a 16 week old daughter. Don’t get me wrong. I love being a mum and she’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me but I find myself getting so so bored and find being with her all day so monotonous. I have tried to do things to break up the days I go on lots of walks I try and go and visit my parents or I have visitors round. I’ve joined a baby sensory class. I’m planning on going to a library session but it just still feels really boring and repetitive. I had a very active and busy job before maternity. I really struggle to get anything done for myself even down to basics sometimes like self-care or tidying the house. I find I really struggle as it gets to the evening because I’ve been with her all day and I’m so tired and I know that I’m only gonna get an hour or two of relief from my husband and then I’m gonna have to do it all again overnight does anyone else feel like this? Or have any advice on how I can get past the feeling of boredom and monotony but also the feeling of just being quite overwhelmed by all at times?

Hey, i think I just needed to have a vent, ive not always been the best parent to my other half but we both decided to have a baby and now shes here shes the most amazing baby ever shes so happy and so content and I love her to pieces, but my partner has literally done nothing he says hes struggling to bond to her but hes not doing anything about it, since we have been home from the hospital I have spent every last waking moment plus sleepless nights with our daughter feeding changing and everything in between, and i have spent the last 3 weeks sleeping in the sofa due to him being full of anxiety of every noise she makes, I know this is his first child and I know some fathers take time to bond with their child but it just feels like hes not willing to do anything about it, I have practically 0 family other than my 77 year old grandma and my friends are living their own lives and are doing their own thing, and just when I think we are making progress by talking and stuff it just feels like its 1 step forward and 5 steps back, I just feel like im doing this all alone and ive tried to voice all this to him but he doesnt seem to understand, im sorry for pouring all this on here but I just feel so alone

I know this question is so vague but I feel I should be disciplining my children better as telling them not to do something just isn’t cutting it. What examples/ ways of disciplining do you go by? I have 2 toddlers so they sometimes fight and my eldest will often take the toys away from my youngest when he’s playing.

So my partner is gone on a stag iv at home with my 2.5 year old and 11 month old anyways since he’s been gone my little girl is crying for him. He said he would ring them in the morning and evening well he hasn’t bothered only when I ring him for 5 mins but I’m so annoyed I have to remind him to actually ring the kids not communicating great and i really lost it. Hes on a stag with all hes friends who ain’t dads yet but it’s like he needs reminding he’s 2 kids at home. Im all for him to go spend time with the kids but not to check in on the kids or even to ask how everything is really annoying sorry just needed a rant
