Toddler & Child

Hi ladies How much solid food are you giving your baby? Mine is 6 months old now. I’m breastfeeding and she nurses well, but I’m also giving her solids. Her poop has changed a lot. I’m not sure if I’m giving her too much solid food, but she really wants to eat. Today, for example, she had 2 spoons of mashed banana...

I’m expecting baby no 3. I have a 3 year old and an 18 month old. They were having a busy day and I was around my parents. They mentioned I looked exhausted which I said I was. I said yes they’re so busy today. My mom said to me “hate to break it to you but you did this to yourself”. Ummm I was not complaining. I sa...

My lo was refused into nursery on his last visit on account of mumps as I'd mentioned he had swollen glands, I knew it wasn't mumps but agreed to have him checked and sure enough it was just swollen glands. I contacted the nursery to express my disappointment in his refusal and the fact that they had not made me awa...

I got dropped as a client today by my therapist due to lack of childcare so I brought my daughter with me to appointments so she said no I'm not doing it however my last therapist at the same place let me bring my daughter along as she knows I have no support network or childcare. I now don't know what to do because...

So everywhere today is about how bad the pouches baby food are.. I don't tend to use I'll cook at home an bulk it.. but were going away over the bank hoilday weekend an I've bought some to take with us as I won't have space to take a blender, steamer, chopping board etc.. an I've now gotten this huge mum guilt an fe...

My baby started nursery last week, 3 days a week. I am the main earner but we can't survive off my wage alone and so my partner has gone part time. My boy is very extroverted, loves people and is very energetic so I thought he might quite enjoy it. He has been crying on pick-up, not napping well and eating less than...

How the heck am I supposed to be okay with this? Like I only trust a small handful of people to mind my boys & this is knocking my mind so much. It’s my first borns settling session today & then he’s doing a full day on Friday & i am UNWELL about the whole thing 😵‍💫 I know he’s going to love it & hes going to…

My daughter's plant is spouting 💕

How much and how often are your 4 month old babies feeding? Thank you :)

My son is nearly 11 weeks and i have no idea what his hunger cues are any more! He recently learned how to chew his hands, so now i don’t know if it’s a hunger cue or just him practicing chewing them (he will do so even after a feed - so i know he does it even when he isn’t hungry). I am currently just feeding him...

Hi! So my son is 3 and goes to nursery for 3 days a week. 30 hours total. We get the 30 hours funding but still have a huge bill. Don’t get me wrong we expect to still pay but it seems extortionate. I’m just trying to see what other people pay with the funding? It’s stretched so he only gets 24hrs a week funding. If...

Me and my partner have been together 13 years we are still not married yet as he says he can’t be bothered we have three kids together and some weekends it’s usually just me and him child free so I say to him do you want to go out get a few drinks play pool or something just to go out and do something couples do as ...

Hi so i’m new to weaning and have only been really doing puree, i want to try sausages, how is everyone prepping and serving sausages to their 6m olds?

Anyone else dreading sending their LO to school? I’m a SAHM and although he goes to nursery a couple of mornings a week he’s mainly with me. I feel sad that he’s going to go from being safe with me to stuck in a classroom with 30 odd other kids and he’s just a number and that’s for the next 12 years.. I know it’s ...

Hey, my son is 1 ( in a couple days ) he only really eats purées, the 12m+ ones so lots of texture, he only has 2 teeth so I’m a bit wary of giving him much more. Can anyone advise what I can put him up for lunch when he goes to the childminder? I don’t want to send him with purées all the time as they go out and ab...

Has anyone else started using nappy pants instead of normal nappies? Nappy changes are becoming a nightmare with my 9 month old as he rolls over/flails around and tries to crawl away while you're changing him and it's very difficult to distract him. I'm wondering if nappy pants might make it easier to change him? He...
