Hello ladies, I have a friend who’s 3 year old refuses to eat, she has resorted to spoon feeding him but she said he barely eats when she does that either. It’s been going on for months, she told me today that he wears 18 month clothes so it sounds like he must be severely under weight? He goes to nursery so I’m not...

My 10 month old prefers to be spoon/hand fed and has no interest in baby led weaning. He’s doesn’t touch any food that I offer. Does anyone have tips? My eldest son was not like this.

Hello there I’m not sure if I’m Over thinking this but I recently moved to another area so my son has to go to a different nursery near to where we currently live. I called his nursery to tell them how much notice do we need for him to leave that nursery. My son lives with my parents on the days that he goes to his ...

Does anyone else absolutely DETEST weaning with a passion? I hate everything about it. My son just wails no matter what. My partner won't help because he doesn't like the mess. I DREAD it every day. Please tell me I'm not the only one?

Feel like my little girl is so behind with her eating. She’ll happily eat fruit and porridge etc but if it’s a meal she just refuses it or throws it off her high chair. She won’t have scrambled eggs, omelette, toast, sandwiches, snacky bits like cheese/ham/cucumber or anything like that 🥲 I keep offering it but…

Oh ladies, I need some advice. My little one started nursery a few weeks ago. He is really struggling when it comes to eating. At home, he's a massive foodie, but at nursery, he isn't touching his food at all. Has this happened with your little ones? What do i do?

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...
