When did everyone’s babies stop just playing with the food and actually eating bits? We’re 3 weeks in with finger food and my LG happily takes it to her mouth and picks it up well etc. but mostly just plays with it… I know food is for fun but getting a tiny bit frustrated wasting food every night 😂

Need to start leaving my LO with my husband so I can go to work. Anything to make sure this process is smooth? Feeling so stressed and anxious about this.

Would you be annoyed if your sister in law drove past your house every day but never came to visit her niece

I want to get little one to eat more independently. I give her puffs and yogurt bites anything else that is good for motor skills and independence?

Hi ladies, I’m moving and I am going to give my kid a place space. Because I won’t be working for a little bit. I’m gonna need a TV in this room. I have a one year-old. Who likes to climb I’m trying to find a TV stand that is toddler friendly or something that can kind of take up the space underneath the mounted TV....

Why am I annoyed? Those dirty looks. Scanning eyes. I don't understand other moms trying to compete with me. I'm very intuitive so I pick this shit up instantly and it's very annoying Example. Every Saturday I'm at an activity with my son I see the few same moms. I like to get there early so my son can just gen...

Is anyone else’s LO going though an extreme clingy phase?? Last 2 days I can’t even go to the toilet without telling her or asking if she wants to come because if she sees I’m gone she gets HYSTERICAL 😩. She’s fine and well, sleeping and eating well but I do think back molars are coming in…

Would anyone mind posting their 9 month olds evening meals? I'm so worried I'm over feeding my LO

My LG is showing a lot of signs that she’s ready for food, sitting up my herself, able to put things in her mouth independently and has great head control. She also tried to grab my food and eat it. She’s been really fussy in the day and never full anymore too. I’m worried as it’s recommend to wait till 6 months. H...

What are you getting for your boys? Is ball pit/soft play sofa/montessori climbing set a good idea?

I used to live with my in laws and moved out after giving birth as they caused my PPD. Telling me what I should do with my baby, bitching behind my back,dismissing my rules around my baby. Long story short they love to backbite me but act fake to my face. Whenever I go there they will never bicker but once I leave I...

My LO has been teething for so long, however the past week his symptoms have peaked and his bottom gums along the top look quite white. What were the everyone’s experiences the days leading up to the teeth coming in ? Really hope any day now !

long story short, my bf and i haven’t been getting on well at all recently, our daughter is 10 months old and our relationship was close to ending a few days as we just aren’t getting along. Today, as i was getting ready to shower my bf kept saying he’s taking our daughter to see his mom and grandma (i am not okay...

Feeling very down right now. Need to take baby boy out more often but I’m often held back by the fact that I’m very overweight and can’t do some movements easily- esp in public. Things like getting on and off the floor with him. Carrying him for extended periods or maybe running. I don’t want to go out just us two...

Long story. My current partner slept with a girl a couple of years ago. He told me how much of a mistake it was, she was awful blah blah. Fast forward a few years and around 8 months ago she got his number and started messaging him on WhatsApp. She is constantly messaging him about the past and wanting him to go...

Hi all, my lb has nailed using potty (for wees at least) with nothing on. But whenever he has pants on, he doesn't use the potty at all. Where to go next?

Hi everyone!!! How are you doing? My son’s 13 months old now and I am sooo lost!! Every day he has a new update (I call them updates 😅) in the system and I have no clue what to do with him anymore 🤣 i’m not back at work yet, so I spend most of my days with him. He’s always been a great eater; now he has decided he…

I just had my baby 2 days ago, I’ve noticed that he’s sleeping all the time and isn’t even crying to be fed, it hits 3 hrs after his last feed and I get so worried because he doesn’t show signs that he’s hungry and it scares me so bad. I’m feeling really overwhelmed because I had to be induced and I was not mentally...

My MIL (76) has always struggled with her knees, back and hip. She's just been diagnosed with arthritis in all those areas, moderate in her knees. Some days are better than others. I have a 13 month old who is in nursery Monday - Wednesday. I'll soon be going back to work on Fridays so wanted to put him in nursery...

I have a 1 month old baby, and I am not Nigerian, but my partner is. When he has called his mum back home she has commented that we need to not hold her as much as he usually is holding her on the call and that we should let her cry which I feel uncomfortable with and feel the baby is too young for. Atm, we hold her...
