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...

I know no one’s licensed so I’m not expecting a diagnosis but just to vent and get some input for anyone willing to listen. I have been diagnosed with depression a few times in the past and taken prescription but I guess I’m confused now because it’s not like anything I’ve experienced in the past. I often find mysel...

Anyone already gone back to work or going to work soon? I’m getting pretty nervous. It’s rare that my baby will fall asleep for naps unless he is nursing.

My little one can’t be left alone happily without me putting YouTube nursery rhymes videos on the tele for her. For example when I’m making her breakfast, lunch, dinner, or when I have to go to the loo or do something else that means I’ll be out of the room for a few mins. I’m starting to feel guilty because her scr...

So I just found out that my baby dad may have another child on the way. We’re not together. Recently split up. Baby girls 11 months old. And I don’t know how to feel. I’m so shocked. But explains a lot as to what he was doing while I was doing everything majority of the time by myself. I’m highly embarrassed, never ...

My LO has been showing this since a month ago. Is this normal since she's drooling more too??

I've been putting off looking at nurseries because I'm just so anxious about someone else looking after her but everyone local says I'm really behind with applying. She won't be starting til she's 3 probably, so I've got a year, how bad will that be? I'm also a bit confused by it, for a funded place I need to have a...

I’m 5 days postpartum. I feel like such a bad mom. My 2 year old has been acting up for a while now but him not listening is frustrating me. How do you teach your older child without yelling or lashing out?

Over the past few weeks my 11 month old baby girl has started throwing her food and paddying in her high chair. She is currently teething which is adding to the problem. But has anyone else had this issue any able to still get them to eat without throwing it 😅

Why do cold callers come to your house at the most inconvenient times and then pressure you into changing providers and are sneaky about it and somehow always managed to convince you to sign up blah blah. Pretty much what happened to me tonight and was meant to have a nice night with partner and kids before work an...

Is anyone else’s baby just constantly crying or whinging? My LB is 5 months old and I love him more than anything in the world but it’s really starting to get to me. I feel like I’m doing everything I should be, but he never seems happy. If he is happy it’s great but it doesn’t last very long at all. I honestly hate...

I have a 5 year old daughter who started kindergarten this year. She has always had some behavioral issues but recently it has been so bad at school with her. She has a lot of good days, but within the past week, she’s had 3 days where she’s had major outbursts. She’ll hide under the table, kick chairs, throw them &...

My son will be 2 in January and has milk (dairy free) x2 a day since he was 13m old. These past 2 weeks he seems to be constantly asking for more milk and I'm not sure why. He has 3 meals + 2 snacks + 2 lots of milk (7-9oz each). I'll usually give him something to eat when he asks for it but then he'll remember a sh...
