We do the BRAT diet also. When my daughter has a poorly tummy we give her toast and mashed banana for breakfast, plain chicken and rice for dinner, then lunch we do scrambled egg or picky things like crackers

I think basil helps with gas and upset stomach. Ginger helps with nausea and vomiting and upset stomach. Also deal helps with when you're sick with little garlic and honey if you're not allergic.

If you're not feeling well, then try to drink more of your food other than eating it it helps with digestion, easier processing it. Turmeric helps with inflammation and pain of the joints and body aches.

Watermelon helps with trying to go to the bathroom number two if you cannot and also it's a good replenishment if you don't drink enough water cucumbers are good for the skin because they help with water retaining because if you don't drink enough water banana bananas help with potassium and calm your belly down also

Agree with brat - plain toast and a banana for lunch then see what happens x

Chicken broth. Add rice when they are able to keep it down. Popsicles if having a hard time keeping broth down.
The longer they go without eating, the harder it would be for them to keep food down. Popsicles help because it doesn't introduce liquid to the system quickly. (Explained the 4th time my son was in the hospital with gastro)

Help

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.
