Both my kids names start with Z because I wanted them to be unique. Would I be wrong if I named our new baby something that doesn't start with Z? I don't want them to get older and think this baby was special.

This is the first year my LO has been in daycare, what is a smallish present idea to get his daycare teachers (4 in total)?

Anyone decide to postpone vaccinations? How did you go about it? Did you have trouble with a pediatrician or the hospital? I deff want to postpone vaccinations until my baby is at least 5. I really would like to never have her get any but I don’t want to homeschool her I want her to have a normal life. Any tips?

So I returned to work 7months PP. I work in higher education. Whilst pregnant/ after giving birth I managed to complete a post Grad. Something I am exceptionally proud of.

My little boy starts school in January, he was meant to start in august with all the other kids. But it was delayed. Any advice for a mom that suffers with crippling anxiety on how to cope with her little one starting school 🏫 and late starting too 🥵☹️… XX

My son is in reception. My father died in Jan this year in the UK. My family are planning a memorial in Jamaica for his 1 year anniversary next Jan. My son is in reception and I'm wondering if I should request 3 weeks off from school so that we can go. I am worried that the school won't agree. What should I do?

Take a look on website you just do it through there xoxo

We loved the name Emilia with the nickname Emi/Emmie but decided it just sounds too rhyming/silly with our last name (Emilia Deeley) 😞 Can anybody suggest other names with the nickname Emmie, or something along the same lines that works with Deeley please? UK based and generally like traditional and pretty…

I get that little ones are unwell once starting childcare, school etc but my 19 month old is literally having a week break inbetween and then is unwell again. High temp, cough, cold etc.. We’ve had Covid/chicken pox/tonsillitis and now what seems like an awful cold or viral infection all in space of a couple of mo...

He get to come and get his kids for a couple of hours. He get the weekends to himself. He claim he don’t have a home and sleep on the floor at his moms so he crash at hotels. He get to party and sleep with whoever. I have no babysitter, no friends no life. I have to watch my kids all the time. It’s not fair😤

Hey ladies , Ive been trying to find a daycare for my 9 month old and haven’t had any luck ! Does anyone know any good daycare in the downtown Baltimore area as well as any Nannie’s or babysitters ?

We are starting daycare for our son on Monday. I’m excited for him to make lil friends and have fun. I’m also grateful that my career can grow because of it. But I’m also just getting teary eyed at not being with him as much, even though this is a normal part of life 🥺 if any of y’all are doing daycare and have…

I’m going to start looking for childcare soon and was just wondering if there is like a database or something for childminders. Sorry if this sounds stupid I literally just have no idea where to start 🤯

Hi my child is going to be two in a few days. At age 3 they need to go to a school nursery. Just wondering at what age did you enroll your child on the waiting list to go to school nursery? And did you only apply for one nursey.

My 9m old started daycare last week, and as expected he is sick. However he’s throwing everything up, has a fever, and is congested. The first day, he had diarrhea. Is this normal or should I take him to the emergency room? (Pic of him in a happier mood because my heart hurts seeing him so sick.)

Anyone else regret and hate being a sahm? We chose this for financial reasoning, but I do not feel I have the support to make it worth while. It feels there is so much that it entails more so than daycare expenses does. Between bibs and them never making a full load until 4 days later and no where to keep dirty ones...
