Teething
My daughter is 11 weeks old almost 12 weeks. She's shoving her hand in her mouth. Sometimes half, sometimes the whole hand. It causes her to gag. What do I do? Could she be teething yet?

This is a developmental phase called mouthing! It helps develop their gag reflex so when they start on solid foods, they’re less likely to choke on them. Plus, she’s just figuring out that she has a hand and it fits in her mouth :)
My babies pcp said that babies can start teething as early as 6 weeks old so it is possible. My baby is currently teething and loves to suck and play with his hands. I let him cause it doesn’t hurt anything and I just keep a good eye on him in case he does gag from it.
That’s really good to know, my son is definitely at this stage then. Thanks for the intel. :3

Gender identity in primary school
Hi all,
My child is in reception now. The school curriculum does it still teach/cover gender identity? Is this only in primary school or also secondary?
And if they do what can we do about it as parents. I wouldn’t like my child to participate in such things???

9-month-old solids
Hi Mamas!
Just wondering how often your little ones are eating solids during the day? (e.g breakfast + lunch + dinner).
TIA! 🍴

Teething?
Do any of your May babies have teeth yet? I’m pretty sure my guy is teething but I’m also second guessing myself 😅 He’s fussier in general but super fussy at nap time and bedtime. All he wants to do is chew on my fingers and his shirts. I’ve offered him cool temp teething toys and a cool washcloth to chew on but they just upset him. I can feel 2 little nubs under his gums but his gums aren’t red or swollen.
What did teething look like for your little one? How many days did it take?

I feel so Heartbroken…
A few weeks ago my husband admitted he cheated on my 5 years ago. I have been trying to process it all. And initially I decided to stay but now I am not so sure. We have 3 kids together and I am 7 months postpartum. I am so sad. I speculated at the time and he has been lying about it. Now I feel like a fool.
I started seeing a therapist. I see her 2 times a week. I also started working out to clear my head. But I feel myself becoming more angry every day.
I have stopped having sex with him. And because of it he has stopped being affectionate toward me. He says he needs sex to operate and I shouldn’t punish him by withholding it.
I am disgusted. We have been arguing nonstop and I just am not in the mood. He keeps asking what I need from him and he will do it for a little while then he stops saying it’s not him. And it’s insulting because I think of how i have bent over backwards over the years for him and his needs. Has anyone dealt with any of this ?
