Toddler & Child

I feel awful even writing this post but I shouted loudly in my 16 month old daughter’s face. Long story short she’s been having trouble at bed time for the past week since the clocks have gone forward. I’ve tried shortening her nap waking her up earlier etc… I’m a single mum who is doing the job of 2 people and I’m...

1st time mother and a single mother at that. My son is 10 months and I still have anxiety leaving him anywhere without me. I’ve tried leaving my son in Daycare and all it does is stress us both out, the daycare center says he literally cry’s all day ( he cry’s like someone is beating him 🥺) and several times I had…

I can't sleep because I'm so upset at my brother and his girlfriend. To make a long story short, my husband and I invited him to stay in our home (flying from America) to meet our baby and he happily accepted the invite and months later, let us know last minute that his girlfriend would be joining him. Now I hadn't ...

At what month do you start your baby on baby food my little boy will be 3 months on the 20th April

I’m struggling for lunch ideas for my 9month old. Any suggestions would be great! ☺️

Hey, I'm a new mum, so please bare with me as this could be completely wrong and just my overthinking... My 2 month old has always been trying to mouth something within the past few days, clothing, his hands, arms, my hair, etc. He is also licking his tongue out... I was just wondering if this is sensory / develop...

So idk if this is a dumb question but how often should I be changing my baby’s diaper? I try and change him every 1-3 hours. But I’m curious if I should change him more? Idk if I’m supposed to check his diaper at a certain time to see if he needs a change? Our little guy is incredibly gassy so it’s hard to know when...

I noticed this on corner of my toddler lip. I was wondering if it was some irritation from saliva or a cold sore…

Is anyone else struggling to read cues with their newborn when feeding? She’s 12 days old. I feel like I don’t know how to differentiate between actual hunger cues or fussiness and I worry I am going to end up over feeding her (formula fed) She’s also really grunty after (and sometimes during) most feeds, pulling he...

I'm just sick of feeling shit about my own life being a single mum with little freedom and seeing him doing better and getting the opportunity to do what he likes whilst I do the heavy lifting looking after our child without any support from him he is not on the birth certificate. He's doing everything I asked for w...

I just want to have a little moan and seek some reassurance from people who may understand at a similar stage in post partum to me. Not sure if it’s my hormones or if I’m valid in what I feel. I am 2 weeks pp today and have been to the in laws for tea (as we always did prior to babies arrival on a Monday). I have ...

Hey I don’t know much about teething so could you guys let me know what you know. My baby is 11 weeks and is dribbling a lot, shoving his fist in his mouth - constantly, slightly more irritable, chomping on his dummy. I’ve bought two of those “teething gloves” but because he’s so young he doesn’t understand it and ...

FTM here, baby has been very fussy and clingy all day, hasn't napped more than 15 minutes, and has one very red cheek. Is this teething? I have no clue how to help the poor little man😭

checked my BD phone as his mum messaged during the process came across my name along side complaint messages about me and a message regarding one incident where me and my friend took the kids to a certain park he apparently asked to to go to a few weeks before and i apparently said ‘No’ despite loving coming here? a...

I HATE using screen time but my child will not play independently at all no matter what we try. I’m on my own and have a 2 year old screaming and pulling at my leg every time I try and cook or do anything round the house and it’s unbearable. She constantly asks for TV and screams and screams until it’s put on. Im ju...

I don't know what situation I'm in. What do I do? I'm married. Been together since teens (24 years). Have a 3 year old together. I feel lost. I have had mental health struggles since pregnancy. Anxiety and depression. I love my child to death. I think I might have changed a lot. I want sunshine, silliness, to f...
