Need weaning ideas please! its still very new for me and baby and would love to see what you feed your little ones

I have a 16 month old and a 6 week old, I’m really struggling during the day to get anything done let alone feed myself, have a shower, keep the house clean and tidy. My partner works ridiculous hours getting home at 7-8pm some nights. Tonight has been a real struggle my 16 month old is going through the testing sta...

Any recommendations in and around the area?

Hi, I've started weaning my girl a few days ago. I give her food after her 1st bottle and 1st nap so between 11-12. I started her on baby rice for 3 days and we just moved to puree vegetables today. The first time I gave her baby rice I maybe gave her a teaspoon or 2 as I was quite anxious. The next day she kept a...

First time mum and feeling like a complete failure! My 13 month is refusing to eat any meals and will only eat bananas and packaged snacks… he’s recently had a cold and his jabs and hasn’t been himself but this started before then. He’s definitely going through a developmental leap and is beginning to say no to lots...

For example, helping him get ready in the morning, or helping him when he does overtime, or helping him to organize or scheduling or anything to do with his job?

My mother in law has been bugging us to take my son to her hospital for a while now but we always got out of it. Now that he is a toddler (16m) she wants to take him herself. She lives in the street behind us and comes over once a week for 30 minutes just to play, take pictures to show her friends and go home. Neve...

My husband has been having health anxiety at its peak. For the last few weeks I have been trying to support him in every way that I can. He has mistreated me bad in the past saying bad things, so has recently apologised while going through this and we moved on. I have been trying to support him the best I can at t...

Does any else LO get really upset when dropping them to nursery ? Mine screams and cries but as soon as he’s inside he apparently loves it and always comes out very happy at pick up’s. He only does 3 days a week for 4-5 hours. And he is normally with me 24/7 as I am a single full time parent so I am assuming it is...

BD got mad that our 1 year old son high fived a guy while we were out shopping and said I’m an irresponsible mum. Am I in the wrong? Thought it was a harmless interaction btw but because it was another black man similar age to him he said that I should keep my single mother antics away from our kid 🙄

Has anyone been to head over heels on a Saturday afternoon. I'm planning to take my toddler there this Saturday afternoon and was wondering would it be too busy? It's the one near wilmslow, not in Manchester. It's meant to be raining Saturday as well. I've been before but on a weekday. Is it worth going on a Saturd...

My LO started solids a little before turning 6 months old and was eating great. Doing purées mostly with a mixture of baby led weening foods here and there. He is almost 8 months old and the past week or so has not been too big into foods - even purées. Drinking bottles/milk (exclusively bf/pump) just fine though....

My husband has no manners literally doesn’t give a shit what he’s doing or how he Is looking, I don’t usually ever care about stuff like this but it’s getting to the point it’s actually a bit of a put off😫 he sounds like an actual animal when he eats chewing with his mouth open to the point now I can’t sit and eat…

I asked my husband if he could clean the downstairs toilet. For context It’s a tiny downstairs toilet with a toilet and a small basin. His immediate response was “do I have to do it now”. And then “what exactly do you want me to do?”. I said no, not right now, and I just want you to give it a once over. This was a...

My daughter lost her tastebuds but I want take out/ordered in food what would be the best for our sickness?

I met my guy just over two years ago. We were basically inseparable from the moment we met. Our sex life, great. We moved in together got married and now expecting our first. Suffice to say, so much has happened in this amount of time. However, lately he has stated his concerns about the change in my libido, he beli...

A bit of a personal question.. we are just about to move into our first home, I’m not returning to work anytime soon. And my baby won’t be going to nursery until I do.., so no childcare fees. My partner brings home about £4.8k a month & after bills (including travel to work for him which is about £800 a month) we h...

My 21 month old toddler is SUPER clingy and would rather play and do stuff with me but even when I try get her to participate in what I’m doing she always wants me to pick her up the whole time. Although I try to limit screen time as much as possible sometimes it’s been a life saver especially when I’m solo parentin...

Y'all already know we've been having some problems with our new apartment. Well this morning our heat went out. It's the end of November in Ohio, it's pretty cold. I have 2 under 2, the youngest being only 4mo. I called the office about it and an hour later the maintenance man showed up. He'd been here for a little ...

He was poorly a couple of weeks ago with tonsillitis and the flu so I just put it all down to that and then he had some teeth through, but now he's totally better and is still hardly eating? I did him his favourite tonight, fishcake, sweetcorn and potatoes and all he's touched is the sweetcorn, gave him some strawbe...
