Drinks for toddlers

My toddler loves squash but I don’t like to give it her because of the sugar, she has water mainly and 1 juice cup of squash a day but sometimes she’ll refuse the water. Any healthier tasty options I could try her on?

Have you tried flavoured water

Can you get sugarfree/no added sugar juice? If it is full sugar squash, flavoured water is better or water with fruit in it. We use coconut water for a treat/change or when she is ill it has natural sugar like fruit does, it has potassium, sodium, and magnesium which are electrolytes is an antioxidant and helps the kidneys.

Advice needed.

My husband and I got married 5 days ago. We have been together for almost 5 years and have an 18 month old. 3 days ago he went through my phone and saw texts from the first year of our relationship with my ex. I continued communication with him and met up with him for drinks one night. Nothing happened between us. I cut communication off that same year. My now husband wants nothing to do with me. I’m absolutely gutted that a younger immature version of myself has ruined my marriage 3 days in. I don’t know what to do.

I love my husband and my family and I will do absolutely anything to save us. My husband had already said he wants nothing to do with me and doesn’t see this relationship worth saving because of it. I have no one to talk to about this because I’m embarrassed that we just had everyone together to celebrate our marriage and now less than a week later I’m talking about the end of it.

My behavior back then did not carry over into my relationship further. I said goodbye to my past and went into a beautiful relationship of learning, growth and love with my now husband. How do I come back from this especially for our daughter? she doesn’t deserve this, she doesn’t deserve to see me crying everyday and her dad absent in another room. The 3 of us were so close, did everything together now he can’t even look at me. I’m sick.

Daytime meals

How much is everyone's 8 month old eating?
I'm doing a mix of what we eat and pouches but I never know if a full pouch is too much?
Just wondering what everyone else is doing? She has main and then something pudding like e.g fruit or yoghurt. Sometimes maybe a snack or biscuit after. She has this between 5/5.30 and then 7oz at 7.15 for bed

When is this going to end?

I have a 3 year old son and a 4 month old daughter. My daughter was a surprise baby.

My son, still isn’t sleeping through the night. At times he’s full of energy at 2am and refuses to go back down. He cut his naps out around 2 years old too.

I am completely drained. I’m fed up. We have tried absolutely everything and nothing is working. I told my Health Visitor that I was concerned about ADHD, my partner is diagnosed with this, as is his mother. However because he’s 3 right now they can’t do anything.

I just want to cry most days. I’m depressed and exhausted.

Have any of you had older kids who still aren’t sleeping through or took ages to? If so when did it end for you 😢😢😢😢

Clingy baby

Hey! How are we doing?
I’m wondering if this is developmental or temperament.
I’ve started doing my kit days but I’m lucky that I can work from home so my mum watches her downstairs while I work upstairs and it’s only half a day per week
This week we had a little handover then I heard her cry for a solid 20 minutes non stop when I left so I went back downstairs and let her sit in my lap while I worked, I sneaked off 20 minutes later and she was alright for a while then it started again.
if I walk out the room for anything even just to grab my shoes to go out she breaks down hysterically.
My husband said this is pretty usual behaviour any other time I go out which is wild as he never ever mentioned it before he just says it’s been fine.
My eldest would always kick up a fuss but be easily distracted after a couple minutes but my youngest basically doesn’t stop till I come back or she sleeps 😭😭

I know it’s a while away but it makes me nervous about nursery in Jan

She’s 7 months on Sunday xx

Anyone have similar?
