Second baby, 2 weeks old. Had a stint in hospital as was unwell. Weight dropped 7% so I'm naturally concerned about his feeding. I'm breastfeeding so I'm waking to feed etc. It's a worry yes? Night times I struggle as he doesn't really feed and I get upset. Husband stays silent. Sleeps etc and for some reason this makes me angry. Alone. Not feeling good enough. The silence is torture. Tonight I asked if I should leave. He told me to do what I want. So I got dressed and left but only sat in the car because I couldn't leave my babies. Husband still silent no attempt to ask if I'm OK or even talk.
All I want is a hug and to have support.
He does support me in other ways of being an amazing dad and hands on with the kids. Just I feel how I feel. I have the midwife later so will reach out and see if I can get help as I know it's not normal behaviour but I'm so close to leaving but I don't know how

So sorry I get so upset too because I have to deal with my two babies by myself, I'm with them 24/7 with no help and when I asked their dad to help it's like I'm bothering him, some days I feel like I want to run away but when I look at my babies I just smile and do what I have to because they are growing up they won't stay babies forever, stay strong not sure if it helps but I'm staying strong that's all I can try to do
Hi, is it possible my 11 week old is teething? His cheeks are often quite red, nappies are wetter and he’s now sucking both his hands quite vigorously even though he’s just been fed.

My child's nursery has asked me to refill the funding form. Last one was mislaid.
Online it keeps telling me I am NOT illegible for any form of childcare funding, is this correct?
They're 3 and do 12 hours a week (under the free 15 hour funding)
The TYF881-******* code doesn't apply anymore as my child is 3? Do I need any sort of code?
Do I just fill out my form with details and no code is needed, genuinely I am SO confused

I don’t watch the news but my social media is full of people preparing for a blackout. Stocking cupboards and getting emergency essentials.
Who is actually doing this?
My husband said it’s crap and nothing will happen but a part of me thinks what if it does and we have nothing?
We have 2 kids and I would hate if it actually did happen and we had nothing and the shops were empty :(

Has anyone else NOT started potty training yet? I feel so much pressure seeing other kids the same age being potty trained but I know my little boy isn’t ready. He used to go and sit on the toilet and doesn’t even do that now. He sometimes tells us when he has pooed but not always. I am off on maternity until May and he doesn’t start pre school till next September so I know there’s loads of time. It’s just hard not comparing

Anyone realizing that you’re the problem in your relationship? We have a 6 month old, and since I was pregnant I questioned if I really loved my partner and truly wanted to be with him. He isn’t financially stable, not as healthy as I’d prefer, and I think he’s moody and stubborn. But he has no friends so he stays home and works on his dream which I admire.
Anyways I have caused a lot of drama in our relationship because I think I take out my anger on him.
I feel like I wanna cheat, be with other guys, be single, co-parent…
I even complain to myself about how he isn’t that attractive and I deserve a more attractive man and a rich man lol.
I’m like, am I lowkey a narcissist and selfish and mean!?
Anyone else feel like this… what do you do

My 8 Month old has only been on purées so far but I can see he is starting to lose interest, he likes to pick up things and put to his mouth. Suggestions for finger food to start with please that were safe and enjoyable for little ones 🙏🏻
