Skinny baby!
My little boy is 14 months and I think he looks so skinnyš¢
He was a really good eater but he got tonsillitis twice in 2 weeks so he lost a lot of weight due to not eating š£ heās still got eating great, he doesnāt like milk at all, not a big fan of cheese or bread so Iām stuck on what to give him.
Heās been referred to a dietitian because his BMI is low, for his age and height his BMI should be at 15 and itās at 14.6, I canāt help but worryš¢
Anyone else on the same boat?

My LB has always been small and on 2nd centile. I have always been worried about it, and we have been under the peadeatrician and dietician. We have been discharged from both as there not concerned. But I still am as he doesn't seem to be growing, and is still in 9-12 months clothes and 1-1.5 but he has recently turned 2. X
The weight will go back on, my LO lost a lot of weight when he had tonsillitis, he's a tiny dot anyway on the 9th percentile, when my health visitor weighed him just after he'd been ill she was a bit surprised but then he was reweighed a month later and he'd gone back up
Apparently you should be able to count your child's ribs, that's how they should look! Who knew š¤·š¼āāļø
Iāve been concerned for my little guy but his doctor told me āuntil I worry, you have nothing to be concerned about. Heās growing fineā
My son is tall and lean. Doesnāt eat bread either lol loves eggs and bacon, pancakes, veggies, tuna, salmon, steak, potatoes and pasta
He eats whatever we eat though and always has

Pooping in a potty
Last night while playing and having some nakey time without a nappy on my little girl whoās just turned 2 said āI want my pottyā so I told her to go get it. She bought her potty into her bed room, sat down and went poop. I was shocked because sheās only been playing with the potty up-to now, sheās never done a wee in it and if anything she usually would get nervous whilst sitting on it as I think she was worried she wasnāt aloud to do a wee or poop despite my encouragement.
Itās has been sat in my bathroom for weeks not being looked it never mind used, so for her to actively go fetch it as she wanted a poop AND use it correctly, Iām shocked! š¤Æ
I gave her loads of praise, big smiles but she looked worried sheād done a āstinkyā on the potty and was upset. Yet sheās the one who wanted to do it??? Im confused what to do about it. Personally I donāt think sheās ready to start potty training but the kid just independently took herself off to use it so perhaps Iām wrong?
How would you play these next steps? Or would you do nothing as it might have been just a one off?

Feeling like a terrible wife
My husband apparently hurt his leg while at work. He has been limping around for a few days. Now he says he canāt hardly move it. Iām feeling pretty upset because I canāt tell if it truly is as bad as he says or he is just using it as an excuse. I have taken care of the kids, the meals, the cleaning, all of it while he said I could take it easy and relax. All day he has been sleeping and not really doing much of anything. Iām frustrated because when I am sick or in pain I still have to take care of the kids and cook/clean but it seems like he just gets to do nothing. Am I being a bad wife?

Apart from circumstances where the child isnāt able to be, it is unacceptable for a 3 year old to not be potty trained.
Unless your child has SEND, it is 100% just LAZY parenting.

Baby fell off couch
my husband was supposed to be watching the baby so i could sleep in the morning and he set the baby 7 weeks old on the couch while he went to the restroom, well baby wiggled off and fell face first ā¹ļø i woke up to the crying we both ran to see he was laying face down on the tile floor and we rushed to the hospital they did X rays and they said nothing is wrong internally he just has a bruise on his forehead and bruised nose. IM SO HEARTBROKEN. weāre home now and baby is acting normally but i just feel like the worst parents ever. did this happen to anyone else ever or are we really the worst?? and is it likely he could get a long term disability from this ? has it happened to anyone else? also yes iām very angry at my husband, i never leave the baby unsupervised. if something worse was wrong with the baby i was seriously considering divorce while sitting in the hospital room!

Autism parents did your child go to nursery or pre school?
So my little guy is 24 months and very speech delayed and displaying way above average levels of clinging and refusal to leave my side around other people and children. He cries his eyes out if I make him go to playgroup or softplay. Occasionally he will calm down and start enjoying if its not too busy but only if I am glued to him.
Im being pushed to get him in nursery and I keep being told he'll love it eventually. My fear is that time between now and "eventually"...he is incredibly distressed around everyone except me, his dad and my mum. He is the only child ive seen who can't even stand to be near another child without melting down.
If I force him into nursery im worried ill be pushing him too hard and traumatising him at this point. Other people don't understand the extent of his anxiety...
How have other SEN parents managed?
