I love Clara. My great grandma was named Clara and I remember a little girl in my elementary school having that name and it was so unique for that age. So pretty! But I’m already set on my girl name ❤️

Screen-Free

Any other moms doing no screens? How do you get anything done or deal with the crying?? I feel like I never get a moment for myself or to even do things that need to be done like cleaning or cooking. My baby loves to be held all day but hates carriers. No judgement please! We are trying to do no screens for the first two years. Sometimes I have to just let him cry for a bit while I do something for myself and it feels awful. And let's not even get into the screaming in the car...I don't know if it's true and I feel kinda bad for saying this but I feel like screen-free parents just deal with a lot more crying 😞

Male nursery worker

Am I being unreasonable? I feel uncomfortable with a male nursery worker changing my daughter’s nappies. I was told he was “helping out” for a day? But no explanation was given. Can I raise it with the head without being seen as problematic? To be completely honest, I found it unsettling and odd he just appeared out of the blue..

Does anyone homeschool toddlers 2-3 years old?

If yes can you share what resources you are using, where you find them etc…

Nursery and eating off the floor

My boy starts nursery next week at 12m. He loves to practice his pincer grip. He loves to practice eating. We just went for nursery taster and he spent the time outside trying to eat sticks and dried leaves. We stopped him but i was worried the nursery staff were too busy with the sick kids to notice.

Editing to add - there were alot of staff outside though and it wouldve been harder to be faster than us at stopping him eat things as we were both watching like hawks. They say they have 1:3 ratio of staff and that they would notice.

I'm really worried he will choke on something he shouldn't be eating but he LOVED being outside.

My partner suggested we ask he be kept inside until this phase has passed...is that too much?
