What are people doing to entertain their babies aside from chatting to them and letting them play on their play mat? I feel like my boy is getting bored

My 2yo is becoming more rebellious by the day. It’s to the point now where doing simple tasks are a hassle because his favorite word is “NO!!” And he wants to do the opposite of literally everything I say. How can I get him to get out of the “no” habit?

Hi!!! I recently started a walking group on Facebook where we meet up a few times a week to walk around different parks in Greenwood with our kiddos. Let me know if you're interested and i'll send you the group! We do them at different times throughout the week to fit different schedules 😊

Does anyone have any good advice or resources for weaning?? I’m so confused by it all! If anyone has any answers to the below that would be great: Does it matter which meal time i start with? Do i build up one meal to multiple ingredients before going onto the next? So wait until breakfast is a bigger meal with ...

Hey! My little one is nearly 9 months and not enjoying weaning at all. He doesn’t take the spoon, pouches, BLW and ends up crying. He currently has 5 bottles per day (4 x 90ml - 150ml) and 1 8 x oz before bed (combi fed). We also eat at the table for dinner with him so he watches us eat. I’ve tried giving him soli...

I don't think my little boy is ready for potty training so I don't intend to start for a few months yet. But my question was, does your toddler poop "logs"?? Because mine doesn't and surely that would make going to the potty more tricky/messy? When should their poop be more log style? Sorry for the super gross quest...

My oldest daughter is almost 4 and my son is 15 months old. Since our first child was born my husband and I have not had a date or any sort of alone time. We have no family or anyone around and our kids have only been watched after by either one of us. Our relationship is suffering, badly. So we know we need to ...

I'm having problems with my 16 month old, since he started solids I've been trying to give him different meats different textures but he just won't eat it. Anyone else had this problem or any advice

Hello! Please could you share any tips or tricks you used to get through airport queues / a 2 hour flight? 🤭 Also if anyone has any recommendations of strollers which fit into hand luggage I’d really appreciate them! I’ve got no idea how I’ll manage to keep our 2.5 yo still during security lines if we don’t have a…

I take my almost 2 year old to ballet classes & have done for the past 5 months. She still doesn’t seem to enjoy it, she doesn’t really participate (despite doing tiptoes & twirls constantly at home). She throws tantrums tries to run out of the door, she’s not the youngest either as when she started she was I though...

During the week my daughter goes to nursery twice a week, goes to my in laws twice a week, is home with me and then me and her dad on the weekend. I'm also 34W pregnant and I'm just absolutely exhausted. The issue is when she's home with me it's just a full day of crying and tantrums. I just feel like I can't do e...

How long after bottom two teeth don’t ones appear?

My toddler has hit the stage where all she wants to do is eat yogurt, cheese string, ice lollies and sometimes strawberries. Meal times are getting difficult She’ll eat occasionally toast, noodles and chicken but where’s the nutrition. It’s not filling her up as she’s demanding yogurt after yogurt. Come bedtime I ...

Hi 👋 my 3 month old this past week has started sucking his hand is this a sign of teething?

It's not as bad after milk or dinner but after breakfast I have to keep her in her chair for about half an hour and then hold her for a while because she throws up if she goes on her tummy

Hi all, FTM due in April and I'm wondering what nursery fees are like locally. I will be going back to work next year but need to weigh up what hours will be best. Would anyone mind sharing how much they pay monthly and for what hours?

We are 2 weeks in with 10 month old who keeps getting sick and missing nursery days. Can mamas shed light on what to expect for how many days in the year (assuming full time nursery) that they wouldn’t be able to go in? My partner and i can’t work from home so now thinking if we need a permanent babysitter/nanny op...

Heya ladies so I have a 1 year old and he only has 2 teeth , it's hard to give him some foods because he can't chew them .... any advice what I could give him

My little one is 3 months and is bottle fed and I also have a 3 year old. So far I have done every single night feed since my baby was born and I find myself getting up with him between 4/5 o’clock most mornings to prevent him waking up his brother. My husband works full time, so I understand him wanting to sleep b...
