Peeing at night
So my daughter turned four this February. She’s been potty trained for the last year except with naps and bedtime. I know we pushed it a little late for night potty training I just wasn’t confident in myself. Now we’re running into an issue of it’s been a month of sleeping in underwear and she’s still peeing in her bed while she sleeps. We’ve tried cutting out water an hour before bed but nothing. I need advice and tips on how to get this done. The laundry is killing me.

I just started potty training mine at 3.5.. maybe the last 2 months I removed night diapers and it occurred to me recently that he sleeps 11-12 hours start night. That's a long time to go without relieving yourself, even for me. So I take him to pee at midnight and he'll wake at 7, no issues.
Do you make her pee right before she lays down? Even if she peed recently, I make her go again. I also put a chuck pad under her if she didn’t do that last pee. That way I’m just washing those vs all the bedding.
We kept a washable pad on the bed from when we took care of her great grandmother on hospice. So when she had an accident that’s all I needed to swap out and wash.
For mine it was really important that the decision came from her. The times I said we would go without she had accidents and then one evening she decided she was done wearing diapers at night 🤷🏻♀️

My 2.9 is being a devil.
Like it's becoming unbearable. Screaming at me, back chating, crying screeching when she doesn't get her way. Never listens. Nursery is also having a hard time with her.
I recently had a baby. How do I manage her behaviour when nothing works. Nothhhhing works.
When is this tantrum phase over....

Parents of 2 or more boys
My first is a girl, she is 4 and is a dream. My son is 3, as the weeks go by he is getting more and more boisterous, high energy, won't listen, lashes out when he's kicking off, throws absolutely everything, destroys pretty much anything he touches. I'm currently pregnant with my second boy..and I'm terrified to be honest. The idea of having two boys, 3 years apart, is really filling me with dread. I wouldn't say I'm a natural boy mum, I've really tried to embrace all the boy things he likes and try to understand boys more so I can do right by him, but I will say it doesn't come naturally to me, I do it because I love him so much.
Has anyone got two boys? What are your experiences? I want to feel better about having two, but I'm open to all experiences!
And if anyone has any advice on how best to bring high energy chaotic boys up, I'm all ears!

Baby starting solids!
Hi all! We just got back from our 4-month pediatrician appointment, and they mentioned that we can start introducing food! I was a little surprised because I always thought you were supposed to wait until 6 months 😅
have you started solids yet, or are you planning to wait? If you did start around 4 months, how did you begin and what foods did you start with? Any advice or tips would be appreciated! 🥹🤍

How does your partner help?
My partner was great whilst on paternity. We were lucky and he was able to take 5 weeks off which was a huge help to me recovering from a csection and being a first time mum. However now it feels like im doing everything. He works shift work and is currently on an 8 day stretch with a variety of shift times. I get it, work is tiring but so is looking after a baby with very little sleep. He'll make me lunch before he goes to work or offers to let me go back to bed but by that point im too awake to sleep enough before baby will need fed again. I want him to help more but idk what he can do to help. I breastfeed and am cosleeping with baby so most nights hes through in the spare room.

Do you need to go to baby groups
My mum is obsessed with trying to get me to go baby groups. I live in a city and dont drive so its a lot harder than she thinks coming from a small town. Baby is only just 4 months and I think its still early for us yet. Hes been a very fussy easily overstimulated baby so I've not been in any rush to put ourselves through it yet but when hes older and sitting ill absolutely think about going. My mum is now saying he needs to go otherwise he'll be scared of other babies?! I just dont think she understands how hard ive had it. Im also EBF but she bottle fed so constantly thinks hes hungry.

Over doing it 1 week pp. What's your expectations from your husband ( vaginal birth)
Had my baby early by 1 month so didn't have time to do my full nesting which I was very much n looking forward to. On the day i came home after 4 days in hospital i was cleaning. I hoovered, washed our clothes and put washing on. Thew a lot of things away ect. No n problem and baby is 8 days old now ive been to the supermarket for a food shop, and taken my toddler to a play group at the library. Its this to much? Vaginal birth no complications. Done this with my husband in tow so he is helping a bit lool.
When people see me out everyone is saying omg well done or you should be resting but 1- really tricky with a toddler and 2 I need to get this done! Mentally I'm very active i like being out, I like being in the sun and we have beautiful October weather at the moment so want to enjoy it while it remains BUT am I pushing it too much? I dont know whats too much and also want my husband to step up if needs be and he will if i ask but dont know what i should actually expect from him. He asked me why is eveeyone saying well done and you should rest you haven't complained about anything and its true I haven't.. I guess im asking what was your expectations of your husband post birth? What did he naturally do and what did you ask him to do.
