I’m British and I really don’t like my child watching American tv programmes. Am I on my own here? It’s just the difference in language, terminology and accent used, all while trying to teach my child to learn and speak British English.

so i hate weaning, im scared of weaning first of all but we’re now in a nice routine of porridge for breakfast and then she gets a pouch at 3pm but now i can’t give her them?? she’s just learning to love them 😫 - do you think this guidance of not enough iron etc is aimed at 8 month olds who gets all their nutrients…

My daughter’s dad has started receiving benefits and so only has to pay £7 per week child maintenance. This doesn’t cover even a single swimming lesson per week - let alone school uniform, clothes, shoes and other clubs. My husband and I are ok for money and made the decision to send her to a fee paying school whic...

How do you get a splinter out of a young toddler’s finger. I have no idea if I managed to get it or not but now he won’t let me check cause I imagine it hurts a bit. His whole finger tip was red 😞 so it must have happened yesterday

My LO (nearly 10months) loved porridge for breakfast with fruit mashed in. However this week simply won’t touch it and only wants foods he can pick up himself. Any ideas please? Egg free!

So my husband asked me how I feel if he became a pimp and I said why would I want you to do that and he talking about for the money after that I fell asleep around like 11-12 and now I’m awake and he’s not home his location says he’s two hrs away at some apartments and idk what to think.

Anyone struggling to get any solids into baby? She was a great eater but now just not interested in anything!

My 2 year old has always been a happy kid going to the nursery. She had chicken pox 2 weeks back and it has changed ever since. She cries a lot while dropping her but is happy while pick ups. To mention, she has also been shifted to Toddler room from Baby room a week before the chicken pox. Is this a phase? Will she...

Best Freind stayed over this weekend . Yesterday we were getting ready and I left lo with her while I went to the toilet, I take a while normally, when I came out she was in the spare room with him getting changed and I assume more than just a t shirt because she's never bothered about me seeing her in a bra.when ...

Hey Mums!! My 5month old boy has just started teething like crazy, and honestly, I think I’ve gone partially deaf from all the fussing he does when he’s trying to bite on something (I’m joking but sometimes it feels like that 😭). He has SO MANY teething toys that work great, but he really struggles to hold them…

Hey mummas, tomorrow is my 20 week scan. My partner gets all scans off work so he is taking me. The hospital is in the city so a 40 min drive or 2 buses and roughly 2 hours (without road works) Yesterday i asked the plan after the scan as they get booked in early (between 8-8:30) and his work usually give him off un...

context- i’m a sahm, he works. i have a 7 year old and we share a 2 year old. i do have my own small income on the side plus child support from my 7 years old dad. i pay for all the children’s stuff unless they’re literally out of something and im broke. i get fs so he pays absolutely nothing out of pocket for food,...

So today I was changing our 18m old diaper and he bent down to play with her and she was waving her arms, I don’t exactly know what happened because I was focused on wiping her, but he like tapped her arm to say no and I was like “hey- don’t do that” and he went off the fucking rails. And went into like a 5-10m rant...

Going back to work soon and thinking about using a childminder instead of full time nursery. What are some things you look for in a childminder? ALSO I receive UC will they help towards the childcare costs for a childminder rather than nursery?

Does anyone have any experiences good or bad at jubilee nursery in Padworth? Looking at sending my son for first time when he will be 19 months old.

The midwife told me that Charlie’s ready for solids like pieces toast, pasta, banana etc! 😳 anyone else tried solids?? And if so what foods have you tried? x

Any one else's little one really angry about using the potty/toilet? She is ready to do it but it's a flat out refusal most days. I don't know what to do to combat it, or just put her in pants and deal with the rage.
