10m biter
Hi looking for some advice!
My 10m old has decided to cut four teeth all at the same time š she obviously in discomfort & thankfully teething powder are working wonders for her.
However since she started cutting these four she has started biting - thankfully just me & her dad.
Weāve started telling her āno bitingā or āno teethā & give her a toy to bit instead of us which sometimes works.
Is there anything else anyone can suggest for us I would hate for her to bite anyone else at playgroups etc.

My son was same and one day he just stopped
I'm in the same boat. We go with "no biting" and move ourselves out the way and give her a teething toy instead, but we've been in it now for about 6 weeks š she's absolutely relentless with it, so if anyone has any advice I would gladly take it on board too
Reinforcing 'no biting' calmly will help, but it will take time. Big reactions may cause her to bite more. Since they're learning cause and effect I found putting my son down for a few seconds after saying no seemed to help too.
My therapist said this āitās totally normal, and they will grow out of it.ā She recommended to stop giving them attention. So a firm āwe donāt bite.ā Followed by a behavior you want to see instead āwe share toys, and wait your turn.ā Then you take the toy and step away for 1-2 minutes.
If they do bite and it hurts. A firm āno,ā and walking away is fine too. Sometimes you have to reinforce the hard boundaries.

Reception school (donāt judge pls)
Hello mamaās
I feel bad I havenāt sent my eldest 4 year old to reception. The reason I have done so is, he canāt put on his coat,socks,shoes, or trousers. I help with that and itās my fault because I find it easier to get done with as I have 2 younger kids.
I donāt want my child to be a burden to the teachers and for them to do a job thatās suppose to be a parents job to teach their kids.
I also came from a family where all my siblings and myself started from year and skipped reception as well as nurseries.
I really want to break that cycle but Iām also scared to send him to school. Any mothers on the same boat and what did you do to deal with situation?
Prior to my eldest, I had 3 miscarriages and Iām scared of loss. I donāt want him to get hurt.

Early weaning
I know this will divide people but Iāve been buying the 4 month old food pouches for my 4 month little boy and giving him a little as he was showing an interest.
Has anyone else done this or any advice or tips and tricks

Help
My 2.9 is being a devil.
Like it's becoming unbearable. Screaming at me, back chating, crying screeching when she doesn't get her way. Never listens. Nursery is also having a hard time with her.
I recently had a baby. How do I manage her behaviour when nothing works. Nothhhhing works.
When is this tantrum phase over....

Parents of 2 or more boys
My first is a girl, she is 4 and is a dream. My son is 3, as the weeks go by he is getting more and more boisterous, high energy, won't listen, lashes out when he's kicking off, throws absolutely everything, destroys pretty much anything he touches. I'm currently pregnant with my second boy..and I'm terrified to be honest. The idea of having two boys, 3 years apart, is really filling me with dread. I wouldn't say I'm a natural boy mum, I've really tried to embrace all the boy things he likes and try to understand boys more so I can do right by him, but I will say it doesn't come naturally to me, I do it because I love him so much.
Has anyone got two boys? What are your experiences? I want to feel better about having two, but I'm open to all experiences!
And if anyone has any advice on how best to bring high energy chaotic boys up, I'm all ears!

Baby starting solids!
Hi all! We just got back from our 4-month pediatrician appointment, and they mentioned that we can start introducing food! I was a little surprised because I always thought you were supposed to wait until 6 months š
have you started solids yet, or are you planning to wait? If you did start around 4 months, how did you begin and what foods did you start with? Any advice or tips would be appreciated! š„¹š¤
