Anyone’s else’s toddler just all of a sudden not eating some days? Stuck on how to try and get her to eat! Refused dinner a couple of nights maybe 2 nights now nearly 3, same as lunch today but today’s the first day she’s not had lunch. I do wonder sometimes how they do it! Must be starving! She’s also refused to go to nursery some days and had massive tantrums and really do have to pick my battles sometimes with her. Just finding it a rather difficult phase and wondered if anyone’s in same boat? 3.5 and a challenge!

My little girl is almost 3 and I normally put something on the plate that I know she will defo eat especially when she's going through a picky phase. Its normally some cheese, carrot and cucumber sticks or a bit fruit. When she doesn't eat lunch I'll pop a few things for her to graze on that can just sit and won't go bad or need to be heated up to eat.

Mine is in this phase. No idea what happened! She’s 2.75 and suddenly isn’t interested in eating. She doesn’t want to stop playing! I’m just commiserating. I don’t have a solution.

Toddlers still run on instinct like a baby. They eat when hungry and dont when not, unless they dont liken the food or they are sick. My son doesnt eat hardly at all during growth spurts but right after will eat everything in sight (seems backwards but whatever works). Just make sure you offer 3 meals and 2 snacks a day. Try to keep them at the same time and making them stay at the table has helped me. They eat better with routine. With each time they eat offer at least 2 things you know they normally eat and one new thing so they can find new foods. **I only have experience with neurotypical kids, neurodivergent kids are probably way different**
My fiance (yes we were engaged) eft me last night. He ended our 6 year relationship and told me he doesn't love me anymore and can't stay with me just for the sake of baby.
I haven't slept all night I'm heartbroken and devastated and feel so blindsided as we wasn't even arguing at the time.
I feel sick with anxiety about the future and what this will look like for me and 15 month old. We're not married so I don't think I have many rights. I worried about my finances and losing our home etc.
Not to mention the loss of what I thought was my forever love.
It was out the blue but said he's hasn't been happy for months.
I'm broken. I genuinely thought we were in a good place.
I don't know what to do, I can't stop crying and I just want to get happy and 100% for my son

Anyone else getting the overwhelming feeling like they just cant do it. I’m nearly 3 weeks in and I’m exhausting and feeling unwell.
I was in the hospital last few days due to an infection and feeling faint.
I felt better and went home, woken up this morning just feeling like shit again and rundown and hot.
Every time I ask my partner for some helps it is met with a “sigh” and he goes “I’m tired too and I’m working”
When I came back home house was still messy.
I have such back pain, extremely sore nipples, feverish but don’t have a fever and just so unwell.
At night baby is on myside I feed her and change her. Me and partner argue becuase he says he does everything and is running around but I don’t see it that way.
I’m feeling more disconnected to my baby and just cry a lot cause I’m in so much pain and exhaustion. The slight thought of regret having a baby is coming to mind and I feel so bad.
Anyone have any advice?

Am loosing it
I will be resuming back to work soon
Myself and my partner works full time
I work day shift and he does night shift
Now my partner is saying , he won’t be able to look after the baby while I am work cos he needs the day to himself to catch up with his sleep
He is insisting we take her to a daycare during the pay and that we must spilt the cost of daycare 50/50
I think that is being selfish 🤦🏻♀️
It is reasonable or I am just overthinking ?
Mums how do you plan with your partner on childcare while at work

I just bought my 2 year old Tom’s toothpaste with fluoride in it. Is it ok if I use it and he doesn’t know how to spit yet? I barely used for the first time today. Also does anyone know what that spray is called that you use when baby falls asleep and can’t brush their teeth in the night

I’m not originally from the UK so just curious! If your little one has tea at nursery, do you still give them dinner at home? I heard most British parents don’t ... is that true?
