My formula fed 11 week old has suddenly become fussy with feeding. He’ll latch really well, drink a little and then almost get bored/lazy and play with the teat in his mouth. He’s already on a medium flow teat and we tried other teats but it was the same. We know he’s hungry due to his cues and he eventually drinks ...

For those of you who drive and have potty trained, what did you do in the car seat in the first few days when accidents are bound to happen? Don’t want the car seat to continuously be soiled as it takes a while to clean and dry! Want to go from nappies straight to pants so wont have any protection whilst in the seat

I’m taking LO out into London tomorrow and have prepared him some vegetarian fried noodles. Do you think this portion is enough for a 14.5mo? Imagine a 1/3-1/2 full round box takeaway container. The container looks fuller than it actually is because I put crispy onions on top 😇

What’s the best tonies characters for a 3 year old? We use it for when she wakes up, so she can play and listen to it first thing as she wakes up really early!! These are the ones she has, she prefers ones with music. There’s so many out there that I get so overwhelmed picking what to get 😅😅 She doesn’t like…

Mine is so moody. I actually don’t like him very much at the moment. He’s also useless with the kids. I do it all and have so much resentment towards him.

By little boy has just turned 16 months and he keeps pulling at his nappy when he wees is this a good time to start getting him on the potty

…in nursery an extra day after we pulled her out? Context; we had our second 2 months ago and the 3.5yo has entered the extreme screaming era and it’s becoming unbearable. She’s currently in nursery Tuesday-Thursday, she used to be in Mondays too but we pulled her out a month after baby arrived to save money and be...

I’m sick of it. This morning I made breakfast for everyone, fed the baby, did a wash, washed up and then my bf moaned his tea was too milky while sat on his phone. I’ve asked him to put a few child locks on a few cupboards today and he can’t cos he’s “too hungover”. I pick up the slack every single day and I’m s...

My boy enjoys a small amount of gravy with a roast dinner/ sausage, mash and veg meal. He has gravy on average once every 2 weeks or so which is the reduced salt gravy and very watered down. I didn’t realise until recently you’re meant to avoid gravy until 1! The very small amount surely causes no harm, there’s mo...

What first foods are we giving our babies? I plan to make purées but what else are we giving?

My daughter just started daycare at 2 years and 2 months. Her teachers told me that she’s not as independent as other kids in her class. Gave me an example that she can’t wash her hands with soap and water on her own. I agree with her because we have been doing most things for her at home up until now. I am a FTM an...

Hi everyone. My husband has work trips and one for fun coming up, and I feel like he doesn’t understand why it upsets me that he gets to go out and do fun things but I don’t. I don’t have a job that takes me cool Places, I don’t have hobbies where I can leave my son and go play out side. I always put my son first an...

How long did potty training take you? We have been working over a year now.

My LO is only three but fits into 5/6 years clothing. We’re due to go away and of course the disposable swimming nappies no longer fit him. And he isn’t potty trained fully. Any tips and advice please.

my lb has started to become really fed up with vegetables and will just throw them when offered🙃. we’ve tried not giving too much of the same for a few days but it doesn’t seem to have done the job. there’s obviously only a certain amount of vegetables that we can buy that will get used and go with meals etc! does…

So I'm going back to work tomorrow, twice a week. And unfortunately I feel weird about asking for time off already as I just came back. My partner sort of needs to travel urgently/last minute to see family due to health and he would like our daughter to go with him as well so family members can see her as last time...

The small licensed in home daycare would be passing all inspections, communicates with the family throughout the day and has cameras.

Advice needed, my baby is not eating that well. He is a fussy eater and does not like some textures (e.g he will refuse meat and pasta/rice etc). Could anyone advise if he is consuming enough. This is an example of what he ate today: Morning: Breast milk, fruits, few spoons of porridge. He threw his toast on the fl...

My little boy loves an oat bar (organix) I have tried so many recipes as I prefer cooking his food fresh however all the recipes I have tried are more of a cake consistency and he much prefers a drier biscuit consistency. Please let me know if you have any good recipes I can try!🤍

any mamas having a hard time with baby eating solids? my son just turned one and he still loves pouches, puffs and melts but he throws most of his solid food on the floor.. there’s some solids he loves eating (sausage, oranges, spaghetti, etc) but most of what i give him he plays with or throws and doesn’t actually ...
