Would you want a sink in your nursery?

I'm 22 weeks pregnant and we're renovating our Victorian house. Baby's room is being completely stripped back and redone, and there's an existing sink in there — we can either remove it or replace it with a nice new one.

We're thinking it could be handy for things like nappy changes, rinsing muslins, or washing hands quickly without leaving the room — but as first-time parents we genuinely have no idea if we'd actually use it. The main bathroom is only across the landing.

If you had the option, would you want a sink in your nursery or not? Did you find yourself wishing you had one nearby?

Calpol after jabs

My daughter has just had her jabs and I’ve been advised to give her calpol every 4 hours. Just tried to give her the first dose and she spat most of it out. Any tips 🥺

How would you approach this? Trying to be discrete as she stalks my socials.

A former friend of mine recently contacted me to let me know that her cat died. She was very upset and was looking for reassurance, however I was still very angry with her regarding an incident earlier that day.

The reason why we aren't friends is because she has broken my trust in many ways. We are colleagues and she has been talking to people behind my back about mine and my son's health to other colleagues and mutual friends. Yes we aren't a picture of health but my son is happy and I'm fit to work. The things she says simply aren't true and I'm sick of her lies. The incident in question occurred when she was questioning my ability to care for my son infront of colleagues.

I distanced myself from her for this reason until she rang me out of the blue. She has lied before about her cat going missing for over a week when we didn't speak for over a month due to a seperate incident which included more of her lies. and a part of me isn't trusting that her cat has very sadly crossed the rainbow bridge. Her story didn't make sense.

Do I trust her and send my sympathies or is this another way for her to worm her way back in?

Baby feeding herself

My 8 and a half month old refuses to feed herself in her cot. She will feed herself while I change her nappy or on the sofa but refuses to finish the bottle until I feed her in her cot to go to sleep or nap. The cot is really awkward and it’s killing my back! Anyone have any tips please??🙏

Paranormal Activity

This post is a question for all the mums out there!

It might sound like a joke, but when I'm breastfeeding my baby, she very often looks over my shoulder and starts smiling. The funny (and slightly creepy!) thing is that she always smiles at the same corners of the house, where there is absolutely nothing and no one.

I'm not going to lie, it creeps me out a little bit 😂. Sometimes I even ask her, "Who came to see you? Who are you smiling at?"

Has anyone else experienced this with their baby? Please tell me it's a normal baby thing and not that I have ghosts in my house! 👻😂

Nearly crawling??

My 6m old has been doing this motion constantly for 3 weeks now. Ive heard it's similar to what babies do before crawling, is this true?😅

My baby girl is four months old and she just started doing something that's so dang cute!

When I can tell she's tired, I take her up to our room and lay her down in her bassinet. Then she rolls over to her side and I lay a soft blanky on her and she goes right to sleep!! Anyone else experiencing this?? She's already self-soothing.
