Apps for activities

I’ve seen ads for paid apps that recommend activities each week for baby according to age- like kinedu or babysparks. Has anyone used them and found them useful?

I'm using The Wonder Weeks and finding it quite useful as it tells you what to expect from babies moods in relation to their developmental leaps too. I think it was £29.99 for the year.

Help, baby dad problem

What would you do?
Yesterday morning I asked my partner to get up with our 1 year old as I do it every morning and I’m exhausted, he’s a 5am waker. He said he wanted another hour as he was nightshift that night so I said alright and got up and on with it, took baby down for milk. About 30 mins later I went upstairs (he didn’t hear me come up) to find him w*nking off?!! Watching p*rn and pleasuring himself while he can hear his 1 year old playing clear as day downstairs. Bedroom door and living room door wide open. I think what he has done is absolutely vile and at the moment I can’t even look at him. I don’t know what to do from here? I also think if he can do that and get off while he can hear his child playing downstairs he needs to go to some sort of therapy for that? Any advice appreciated.

Maama needs help 😭

Hey girls, I really need some advice and would love to hear your opinions.

I have a very active 3-year-old toddler and a 7-month-old baby. My 7-month-old refuses purées and spoon-feeding completely. Every time I try to offer purées, mashed foods, or feed him with a spoon, he gets really frustrated, starts fussing and crying, and refuses to eat.

I’ve tried giving him his own spoon while I feed him with another one, and I’ve also tried distracting him with toys, but nothing seems to help. He just gets upset, and by the end of it, we’re both frustrated and there’s food everywhere.

When I offer finger foods or solids, he’s interested in touching them, squishing them, and making a mess with them, but he hardly puts any food into his mouth. Even when he does, he usually spits it back out. At the end of the day, it feels like he hasn’t actually eaten anything and is still relying entirely on milk.

I also don’t have a lot of extra time to prepare elaborate meals because I’m looking after both kids, so I’m trying to keep things as simple as possible.

Has anyone been through something similar? Is this normal for a 7-month-old? Do you have any tips or suggestions that might help him become more interested in actually eating rather than just playing with the food?

I feel quite sad and worried because it seems like he’s not really eating any solids at all. I’d really appreciate any advice or experiences you can share. ❤️

Husband criticizing everything i do

It feels like every day, every hour I'm doing something wrong. I have a 3yo and a 9mo and I do a lot of it on my own. He works a lot so I don't expect him to do much but he doesn't realize how much I do. And when I ask him to do something he gets an attitude. Like when our 3yo has to go potty I'm always the one that has to go with her. And I don't even have to do anything, I just stand there, hand her tp, and make sure she wipes. But literally everytime I ask him to take her I get an attitude. Like it's the hardest job in the world. And on top of not getting help, I'm just a bad mom. Ive been in survival mode for forever, so I get frustrated easily. I'm trying to be better about it but I'm just exhausted mentally and physically... Everyday it's hes making comments about how I shouldn't be doing this or I should be doing that. 3yo hasn't had a bath in a couple days, the kitchen is a mess, the laundry isn't done. Every time he criticized me i feel this ball of anger in my chest grow another inch. I feel like the worst mom in the world like i failed my children...

Holiday with 4 month old

Hi,
We will be going away in August with our baby who will be 4 months old at the time. I’m really unsure on what happens if I need to get a taxi abroad but won’t have a car seat as I’m not able to take it on the plane?
Also sterilising bottles, I have the mam ones and often do it in the microwave and sometimes with Milton tablets, are Milton tablets safe to use with tap water in Spain or should I play it safe and stock up on bottled water there??
Any other tips you be great!
Thanks!

Nervous for nursery

Hi everyone❤️, just wanted to post for some reassurance or even some advice.

My little boy is starting nursery soon for just 3 days a week he will be 2.5 years old when he starts. He isn’t talking yet and he doesn’t have many ways of communicating that OTHER people understand (I can understand what he wants/needs easily). He’s on the waiting list for speech and language but think he is also SEN. I’m just worried how he’s going to get on in nursery, I get upset when I think to myself he won’t even understand where he is going or why he is being left there, will he make friends or will he want to be on his own and also the main one how will they know if he’s thirsty or hungry etc? He also tries to shove loads of food in his mouth at once if you’re not watching him properly so I’m worried if they don’t see him do it this could be dangerous. I think I worry because there are so many other children there that he will get forgotten about because he is so quiet. I guess I’m just so anxious and I’m sure he will be fine and I know they will have dealt with so many other children who can’t communicate very well. Please can anyone tell me their good experiences or just answer some of my worries? Xx
