What aspect has knocked you for six?

If you'd like any advice on how to support him, here's some things:
* simply to tell him you love him exactly as he is
* listen to his feelings without judgement
* make home a safe space where he can be himself
* Watch for any behaviour changes that might suggest bullying at school and then speak to his teachers
* help him to connect with other LGBTQ+ youth groups, this will make a huge difference.

You've got this ❤️

GAY AT 11???? Is he being groomed

Does he understand what he means when he says he's gay?
Boys run around calling each other gay because they've brushed their hair, I'm not saying he isn't or there's anything wrong if that's his choice.

Thank him for telling you and trusting you and ask if there's anything he would like to know or discuss and you can make yourself available for conversations

1st night home... help.

My baby was born slightly premature (35 +5weeks) and due to oxygen levels, unstable blood sugars and jaundice had to stay in NICU/special care/transitional care for 7 days. Last night was our first night home and I feel so scared and such a failure... everything at the hospital was so regimented everything was timed and exact. Im a type A kind of person so if theres instructions I will follow them to the latter but now we're home and he just wasnt taking his bottle right for bed he kept spitting up and then wouldnt settle and wouldnt stop crying and I couldnt stop crying. I finally got him fed and sorted and sleep for 12:40am and hes slept really well but now it's almost been 5hrs and I dont know what im supposed to do now, do I wake him up to feed? Do I enjoy whatever sleep we both get even if its longer than 4hrs? I feel like such a failure already

Nappy bins

First time mum due in October, I am forever scrolling Amazon to figure out the stuff I still need from the baby checklist, and I’m currently on a tangent of nappy bins. I don’t want a nappy bin, but I am debating a food waste bin for the night changes, since they have an odour filter built in. I wondered if anyone has done this and if it works?

Runny poo what should I do ?

My LO is 4 weeks old and for the past 2 days he has had runny poos. He seems to be struggling with passing the poo and makes straining and painted noises.

He now has a little blood on the nappy when I change him and his bottom looks a bit raw. I have been putting nappy rush ointment but I am just worried it will get to worse.

Should I call someone? Should I be more concerned ? What could be causing it ?

Somebody here mentioned something about a mom getting her nipple ripped off while breastfeeding and I can’t stop thinking about it

It’s giving me so much anxiety I just want someone to tell me that’s not possible

Showering with 10 month old?

Home all day alone with my 10 month old until 10 and wondering is it just better to kill two birds with One stone and wash us both together . Instead of having to distract him while I shower and him destroying the bathroom and hitting his head and trying to get into the shower . I don’t like showering late or else I’d wait until 10/10:30 for my husband to get home . Baths don’t make me feel clean also .Does anyone do this ? Or do you just do bath for them
