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?

For any part time mums out there are you claiming universal credit or tax free childcare? Me and my partner are really struggling to get by with childcare costs totalling 500-600£ after tax free childcare deduction. It’s crippling us. My partner doesn’t want all the meetings and hassle with universal credit. I w...

My daughter's plant is spouting 💕

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...

Does anyone else have a really fussy eater?! My 18 month old refuses to eat anything healthy! I don’t know what to do anymore 😩 do I just leave him and not give him anything until he eats?!

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...

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...

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...

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...

My 8 month old usually eats 3 meals a day, purées and finger foods. She has gone off her food the last few days, and spits out everything that we offer. I have even tried to do a bit of blw to see if she is ready for that and it’s no different. Has anyone else had this? Shes well in herself and doesn’t have a cold o...

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...

Is anyone going through a break up currently with their partner ? I’m having a lot of issues with our relationship at the moment in the fact that he has chosen to have nothing to do with his kids with a previous partner, he is hard to live with in terms of cleanliness and laziness, he has told me a lot of little w...

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

What’s everyone giving their little ones for lunch when out on a day trip?

Looking for any ideas of things to do with my 13 month old son currently in queens relocating to Bensonhurst in the next couple of weeks. Would love mommy and me classes I desperately need friends as we just moved here from Virginia also don’t have to be free I’m open to any suggestions to get out of the house.

My daughter is naturally petite and short for her age. She is a snack monster! And isn’t particularly fussy but I’m just wondering if she eats enough for her age or should she be eating more. I’m fairly strict that if she asks for snacks before 10am it’s only fruit which luckily she loves. Today so far she’s had: Br...

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...

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 ...
