My tot has been complaining about tummy ache intermittently. I can’t pinpoint whether it’s something she ate or whether she doesn’t understand what tummy ache is but says it. For example she’ll say her tummy hurts in the morning but she wouldn’t have even had breakfast yet but has had warm milk. Sometimes half way t...

Anyone’s baby started teething yet? I have a suspicion my 10 week old is starting to. She’s constantly got her hand in her mouth and rubbing her gums. She’s started resisting sleep and won’t settle unless her hand is in her mouth. She spits out her dummy now and wants her hand instead

So I work 3 days a week, my partner WFH 5 days. I do absolutely everything around the house and cook everyday while pregnant and look after our 3 year old. He currently pays all the bills. I am mentally and physically drained of doing it all alone. He says I pay the bills so I have to do everything else? Is this fair?

What age did you start solids at? Did you wait til 6 months? Did you start a bit early. Here’s my issue: I go back to work a few days before she is officially six months.

We have a nanny share now so we don’t want to break a good thing unless it’s really important. Anyone else been through similar th...
