I experienced the worst type of person today. We were at six flags (me,my parents, siblings, boyfriend, baby and grandparents). Keep in mind my grandparents don’t speak any English only Spanish and they are very old (90s). We had sat down at some tables to give my grandparents a break from walking. My grandma had br...

So when my son was 2 months my friend came to visit. She had two kids already. Her word of advice was not to let your baby get into the 2-4oz snacking mentality. Just like us if they don't eat a lot their stomachs stay small and you have to feed smaller amounts more often. Instead I had patience and fed him at least...

My baby doesn’t have any teeth yet but I can see the two bottom ones under the gum slightly. She hasn’t really been nursing like she normally does and has been biting me during feeds which is unlike her. Is this a sign of teeth coming through soon ?

I have been offering my son pureed food for the past 3 weeks and he is just not interested. I have mixed breast milk with baby oatmeal. Breast milk with fruits and vegetables. And he just keeps his mouth shut and/or pushes the food out with his tongue. However, every time I am eating solid food, he reaches his han...

How do you travel by plane with a baby? Do I need to bring a car seat and stroller?

My almost 14 month old was eating so good! 3 big meals with two snacks along with 16-20oz of whole milk. This entire week she is hardly eating at all. She will drink her milk perfectly fine but throws almost everything I serve her on the floor. I’ve tried giving her stuff I know she’d like but it’s no different, she...

My partner has sciatica and it’s pretty much controlling a lot of our our lives at the moment, I understand he is in deep pain but at the same time I am massively exhausted. I do weekday nights he does weekend but that seems to be on me too from 4am and then I get up once I’m just physically exhausted I cried when h...

I asked my partner has he had a drink because he smelt of drink. He said he'd only had one beer. He then said can I get him 2 more. So I said oh you can't say please. He then said he's not my child and doesn't have to say please. He then said you could just say no. So I said OK no. He was then annoyed as he had left...

I've been told so many times that I'm overprotective of my daughter (She turns 3 next month). It is really bothering me and has become such a trigger word when someone uses it. For example, we were at the playground today and my husband made it a point to mention that I was the "only mom following their kid around...

We are already starting to wean our 5 month old lo when it occurred to me that thickening his milk slightly with oats might massively help his reflux. We have tried carobel - intolerant to it as it’s soya based. We have tried gaviscon and omeprazole and they don’t work. Before we realised he had coma we had tried th...

Okay so today husband and His dad had lunch together and only wanted his son (my stepson) going so I was very fine with that I understand. While they had lunch husband gave me $400 to spend at target. I used up all of it then he was mad because he couldn’t believe I actually spent that much and was mad because he fe...

My poor baby, he's in so much pain from cutting a molar tooth he wakes up screaming until I nurse him and give him calpol. How long do molars take to come through 🙈

Looking for a place to drop off my 18 month very active, curious and sweet but rambunctious daughter part time on Saturdays and/or Sundays. Example 4 hours every Saturday or 4-5 hours every Sunday. Anyone know of anything like that in SAN JOSE, or Campbell, even if it’s a home daycare? Please help! 😊

I have no friends to talk to so I’m going to make you guys my friends for the moment lol I think I may be losing feelings for my bd. I’m 6 months pregnant and all I ever wanted was a family. I was a single mother for 8 years and here I am pregnant again, looking forward to things to be different this time which they...

She can't just survive on snacks and fruit right? She will refuse to any other food resulting in her throwing food on the floor😮‍💨 she's a little under weight but nothing to notice as her pediatrician said but I'm getting worried 😮‍💨

My partner finished work at 5pm (it’s a Saturday) and didn’t come home until 11:30pm. I was up at 6:30am, getting myself and our 2 children ready for their football lesson. We were out by 8am on the bus, after their football lesson I took them to another activity, I then took the bus into town to go to a shop and th...

Today I left my little one at my Mums to meet a friend for lunch and a surprise she’d organised I was so sad though when i got back to be told my baby had refused milk, food and cried on and off for about 3 hours 🤦🏾‍♀️ My mum said I need to start offering him bottles (he’s EBF) so only has bottles from Dad or her…

Hey ladies, So i need help or some sort of advice. I’m a FTM my LG is 6 and a half months and she’s been hysterical lately. She throws tantrums, starts kicking, hitting and using so much force when i’m holding her to calm her down. During day time, I do leave her in the crib to cry it out for 10 minutes max, then i...

I am guilty of giving my daughter too much screen time from my phone lately and she has become really demanding and disobedient. Anyone have any activity ideas that I can use to replace the phone? I’m embarrassed to say she won’t change her nappy without the phone. I just need something that will captivate her atten...
