You'll naturally ignore some bc it's none stop lol but I try to answer most of the why questions. I feel like it's working to build good conversation skills & foster curiosity & my toddler has built so much vocabulary from our day to day conversations that usually starts with "why".

Sometimes I have no idea what to say πŸ˜‚ especially when I ask her to do something specific and after 2 whys later I just end up saying β€œbecause I said so” I feel so bad after and idk why

I just keep repeating the reason. Eventually they'll get tired πŸ˜‚

(6 Day Old Baby girl)

My baby girl doesn’t seem to wake up herself for any feeds, if I don’t wake her she will just sleep all day which is concerning to me. I have brought it up with community midwife who I saw on Saturday they did the checks and said baby is healthy and doing well. She has little bit of jaundice but midwife said that will go away on its own and that the more she feeds the quicker it will go. I’m a first time mum so please be kind and understanding. But I’m worried my daughter, has anyone else experienced this and what do I do?

Who does the nighttime wake ups?

Very curious how others deal with this in their families. Much respect to all the single mums or mums who dont get proper help. I have always done it 100% on my own and am sick to death of it. Been told men just like dont wake up to cries. Yeah I get that but not a single time in a last year, surely im not crazy to think thats not right?

Being naked infront of toddler

Ladies, when should I stop being fully naked infront of my little boy? He’s 14
Months. Since he’s been a baby, he’s watched me shower, watched me go to the loo, I sleep naked etc. When should this stop? Is it harmful that he sees me in the shower, on the toilet, naked on bed etc?

Nursery and formula

My son is only going to nursery for two days so I don’t want to give the whole formula tub back and forth.
What can I empty some formula in for they to keep for two days?

Breastmilk on the go

So, I've been going out more recently and have no clue how to store milk on the go. Is an ice pack in the diaper bag enough? Are those cooler thermos worth it? Will a normal thermos work the same?
