Our son is 2yrs 4months old and I’ve been thinking about having another baby at some point. This hasn’t been the plan and we have found the experience have pushed us to our limits and sometimes beyond. Plus I had a traumatic delivery which took months to recover from emotionally and physically. My partner says he ...

Ever since my little girl was born my parents or my partners parents have had her once a week. A midweek break to my parents for me, andSundays with my partners parents. I don’t particularly miss her in this time and She’ll be gone for up to 8 hours sometimes. We moved into our house 2 days before my little girl wa...

So my son is 3 months old and I swear it feels like 9/10 when my husband/the father holds his son he will start to scream and cry and carry on as if he is being hurt. My husband/the father has NEVER hurt his son in his short life (I’ve had way more accidental boo boos given to him). I need help! I know it’s natural ...

I don’t want to tell her not to babysit at all, as the only other option is my MIL who doesn’t respect me or my wishes with my children. My husband works 2 jobs, so he’s gone 7 days a week, except for 2 hours in the morning. Our son has severe separation anxiety at 4 years old - he will kick & scream & hit & try t...

Hey guys, so I know toddlers are always hungry 🤣 however my LO wakes up at 6am and is crying for food straight away…I’m wondering what I should be giving him this early?

Okay so my pans for my oven, 3 or so out of the maybe 6 we have get rusty after being dried off and even oiled. They’re a few years old but I use a metal scrubby for a while and make sure it’s dry otherwise it’s horrible.

Hi all, Really struggling here. We as a family have eaten quick easy meals for years, using made up jar sauces for Bolognais, curries etc. I'm aware I can't do this if I want our 6 month old to eat what we're having. So now it's the stress of having to now cook everything from fresh my self when time is limited an...

My 2.5 month old baby is quite congested but don’t know what to give her as basically everything say 3 months and over.

How many meals should i be offering at 8 months? (I know formula is the main source of nutrition, he gets that offered before real any food) Right now he eats just dinner and eats whatever we eat (just BLW version) also im noticing him trying to grab things with his pincer grasp, can i make food smaller now or wait ...

Has anyone started giving their baby any kind of real food yet? My baby will be 4 months on the 20th of this month and I’ve heard mixed things. I’ve heard not to give your baby real food until 6 months and then I’ve heard you can give your baby cooked pears, apples, carrots, things like that from 3 months. I’m so e...

I have a 6 month and 18 month old. When my husband is home it feels like I almost got this but when he’s back at work the days feel long and helpless. My toddler barely ate today and my baby cries every time I’m out of her sight. Im just not getting better at this. Some women are doing great and then there’s me ques...

I paid for the Uhaul truck, I paid the security deposit, the move in fee, I paid for the lights and wifi to be on. And i paid for all ...

So what to do if your toddler thinks she can tell you no now 😒😂

My baby is 1 in a week. He’s still super attached, like I can’t sit him down without having a meltdown. Yes he’ll grow out of it and yes I know he won’t be a baby forever. But he gets to heavy he has been super super clingy since he got sick like 2 months ago. And yes I have people to help me they have been helping ...

Thing is, they’ve been talking about taking my 18 month old son back home with them to San Francisco before I go into labor.. we live in southern Orange County. Nothing has been said to me directly either. They just talked to my hu...
