Would you have said something?

so I drop my son off to school this morning and it’s a parent with her son standing outside. I see this parent l every morning she’s pretty cool her son and my son do speak. Her child is in first grade my Child is in kindergarten.

My son was wearing a Bluey sweater and the child proceeds to say Bluey is for girls. “Bluey is for babies. He hates Bluey. He hates Bluey”

The mother was doing the right thing and was telling her child to stop saying those things. He wouldnt stop saying “bluey is for babies I hate bluey, you’re a baby if you like bluey”

It went on for about 10 mins of him saying that. While yes the mother was doing the right thing trying to correct her child, it went on for so long that I noticed my son looking a little uncomfortable.

So my question is would you as the mother have said anything?

You stated multiple times that the mother was doing the right thing by trying to redirect her child, I would have not said anything because the other mom was doing what she need it to do. At this point it will be more of a conversation with your child, say this morning I noticed you were a bit uncomfortable with what so so said about Bluey, tell me how that made you feel? Depending on his response then you can say so so can think what he wants, however you are allowed to like w.e you like, reinforce to him than is ok to like what others don't and vice versa.

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

New born

Finally had my baby girl via C-section on the 18th, everything has been so far. But I’ve noticed she’s very fussy and cries a lot. I’ve been trying to exclusively breastfeed. The lactation consultant at the hospital said I did look like I’m making enough milk for her. She was latching on good at the hospital and now here at home, she doesn’t seem to want to latch at all. She’s been crying a lot and very fussy. I’m just wondering is she’s colic or like maybe she just doesn’t want the breast anymore?

5.30am wakeups 😫😴

My 15 week old has started waking up about 5.30am and is really hard to settle back down - it’s like he thinks it’s time to wake up for the day. He used to go to bed at 9pm and was up at 8am but now he goes to bed between 7.30-8pm as he’s knackered by then but waking up at 5.30am😴. Any advice to get him to sleep a little longer in the morning?! Even an extra hour would be lovely 🤣
