My baby will be 6 months on the 25th and will be starting solids soon. For any October mums who have already started your journey do you have any recommendations on utensils such as spoons, water cups etc that you would recommend. Thank you! ❤️

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...

How do you do things, important things, when little one is at home? My little one is now 19 months, but isn't independently playing. If I were to put her somewhere with toys and lots of things she loves, she'll play when I'm there but as soon as I go off to do something she will follow or cry. How do you get read...

How are we entertaining our little ones? All our classes are off due to half term so I’m struggling to find ways to entertain my 12 week old, we go for a daily walk (at least an hour), baby plat mat, tried reading she’s not interested, short intervals watching mum do house work but I’m lost now. She cries a lot and ...

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...

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

I don’t know if this is a rant or a plea for help at this point 😂 First issue we have is my MIL plays favourites massively with my 2. It’s not even a discreet amount. She only wants my girl to stay round hers, only wants to take her out, buys her gifts every time she sees her and my little boy doesn’t get the…

I've never told my 4yo she's a bad kid when she does things, but she knows she's done something wrong based on me questioning if she did something (ie why is this here, did you do this?). I'm wondering if I'm being too harsh with her

I feel like I am the only mum in the world going through this right now so is there anyone else out there that can relate? I live away from home from my family and friends, my partner works a lot and I am literally on my own with my little boy who is 15 months all of the time. As I’m all he’s known he’s seriously at...

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

I have a couple of hen parties coming up end of next month and I’ve said I can’t do anything overnight but have been invited to day drinks which will probably follow through into the night. My baby is currently 6 weeks old and honestly the thought of leaving him for any extended period of time is filling me with anx...

Anyone intruding solids at 4 months? If so why and did you ask doc first?

The registration says child must be toilet trained. Currently she says ‘Potty’ and manages without her diaper but she doesnt know how to wipe it yet. She is 2 years and 8 months old. So when the registration says “toilet trained” do they mean the kid should know how to wipe as well? Sorry if this is a stupid questio...

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...

Hey all. My little one turns 4 in August so is starting school in September. I don’t know if I’m being silly but I’m sure I’ve seen something before saying that you can take kids out of school (without getting fined) before they turn 5 years old? Does anyone know if this is true? Thanks!

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

Sometimes me and my girl eat lunch together and watch NCIS lol. I never thought anything of it until I realised this is also screen time lol. She might not understand anything, but we always have a jolly time when we do. Idk why but I feel like a bad parent.

I feel like my baby is never happy. He's go grumpy all the time and we only get about 5 Min of content time during wake hours. I try playing to cheer him up but he's just not interested. At my wits end now, not sure what I'm doing wrong.

We’ve “soft launched” it to madam over the last 2 weeks and she’s doing exceptionally well. We’re planning to do it properly this weekend and with no nappies so hoping for the best!
