Toddler & Child

I just had a baby 3 weeks ago and my husband couldn’t really take a paternity leave. He has a very demanding finance job where he’s moving hundreds of millions of £ a day and needs his sleep and rest. I understood before the baby came that the child rearing and house work will be my responsibility BUT even when my...

I feel so awful even writing this but rn I’m not enjoying being his mum. I know he needs me and I’ll always be there but everything is such a chore and a challenge. Refusing food constantly and throwing it on the floor. So I’m stressing he’s not eating and going to loose weight, having arguments with my partner over...

Hi Mamas, I’ve been struggling a lot in my relationship recently. Before having a baby, things were so great.. but now… we are holding on by threads. I absolutely love my baby and I know he does too - however we’ve been arguing a lot more and making nasty remarks at each other. I try to do everything myself, from ...

Question for all… My in-laws live abroad and are planning on a trip around the time our second little one is due to arrive. They need to know ASAP if we want them here to visit (they did not say help or hinted to helping at all)to change their flight. I said yes! But they responded with “are you sure? Is your ped o...

I just did my first KIT day and it was disastrous. I work in an office and I just thought stuff would be ready for me like when we have new staff start we have the whole desk set up ready. But I go in today I’ve got my laptop on my desk and nothing else and neither my manager or my supervisor are there. And turns ou...

Ever since my little girl was born my parents or my partners parents have had her once a week. A midweek break to my parents for me, andSundays with my partners parents. I don’t particularly miss her in this time and She’ll be gone for up to 8 hours sometimes. We moved into our house 2 days before my little girl wa...

Ladies, I miss the newborn stages when baby slept all day and I just used to watch TV or be on my phone the whole time. LO is nearly 4 months, and I need ideas about how to keep him occupied during the day when he’s awake. There’s only so much time you can do! In addition to that, we do a 2 hr walk everyday (we have...

Well its my son’s first birthday after he started going to Nursery. I have finalised gifts for the fellow nursery babies but please help me with what to treat or gift to the staff and teachers? Was thinking cupcakes … but not too sure.

The past few days our 11 week old has been waking up often in the night, waking up crying during the day, keeps putting his fist in his mouth and seems like he's more irritable. We're not sure if he's beginning teething especially because he's so young still. No visible teeth in the gums, but also confused if there'...

Hey guys, so I know toddlers are always hungry 🤣 however my LO wakes up at 6am and is crying for food straight away…I’m wondering what I should be giving him this early? As if I give him his breakfast this early I think he’ll then be hungry at breakfast time again if that makes sense🤣 …he has his 3 meals & 2…

I have no village to help and it’s starting to impact my mental health. I have the best baby ever she is the best thing that’s ever happened to me and the love is indescribable but god am I burnt out. I’ve done everything for her since birth, day and night and I think it’s starting to catch up with me. I was fine up...

Okay so my pans for my oven, 3 or so out of the maybe 6 we have get rusty after being dried off and even oiled. They’re a few years old but I use a metal scrubby for a while and make sure it’s dry otherwise it’s horrible.

my toddler doesn't want me anymore he's two. He screams for granma and all my discipline and routine goes out the window I didn't have a good bond with my grandma so what is it? Should I keep enforcing discipline and boundaries etc? Not that he understands yet but I don't understand what to do and my mom is pron...

I have a 6 month and 18 month old. When my husband is home it feels like I almost got this but when he’s back at work the days feel long and helpless. My toddler barely ate today and my baby cries every time I’m out of her sight. Im just not getting better at this. Some women are doing great and then there’s me ques...

How many meals should i be offering at 8 months? (I know formula is the main source of nutrition, he gets that offered before real any food) Right now he eats just dinner and eats whatever we eat (just BLW version) also im noticing him trying to grab things with his pincer grasp, can i make food smaller now or wait ...

so my baby daddy’s mom told me that it’s unhealthy that my son is with me all day and I should not be around him that much and it’s unhealthy relationship that we have he’s 18 months old just a reminder he’s still a baby and that it’s really bad because it’s ruining a relationship for her and my son. what do you guy...
