recently, my son decided he’s never going to sit still for a diaper change ever again. even when i put the clips on him on the changing table he manages to wiggle around. i’ve tried giving him a toy or my phone, nothing. i put his diaper on him while he stands now, and when he poops i’ve just started rinsing him do...

Im slowly introducing solids to my baby. We’ve been doing purées. So far he does well with avocados. I tried sweet potato but he will gag it and throw up a lot… I’m the mom with the throwing up baby. Just curious what other foods to try?

I will sit and play with my lil boy and read to him and stuff a couple of times a day but sometimes he sits and bum snuggles round and plays with his things himself and I'll sit and watch my program while he's doing so or get a few things done, I just feel bad sometimes that I'm leaving him to play but at the same t...

We are teething, we have both top teeth and a bottom tooth coming in and he does wonderful in the morning and afternoons but something about bed time he fights sleeps so terrible and is in so much pain I’ve tried everything from oral gel to cold cloths to gum massages to teething toys to even trying to tire him out ...

Feel like they can never ever get ahead of the laundry? This officially has lived on my couch for the last two months now and I am just exhausted… the laundry never stops. Do you think anyone stops to put their shots together? No, they leave them there and wait for me to do it. I’ve asked multiple times for my partn...

Any lunch ideas for my 8 month old? She eats brekkie fine and tea but lunchtime shes so so fussy. Trying to do BLW during lunch as its much easier and practical for us shes fine in doing this but after one bite gives up. We tried sandwiches, crumpets, toast, scrambled egg.

Hey all, has anyone else experienced weaning with a CMPA baby? We're doing lots of fruit and veggies and purees as she is only just 7 months old, but would love some ideas of snacks and meals to try with her as she grows.

I’m weaning my 8 month old and I’m looking for ideas to give him for lunch so far we’ve had jam and toast or cheese on toast. I need inspiration. We give him a hot meal at dinner usually what we’re having or some kind of puree.

I have not introduced eggs to my baby yet. My doctor mentioned giving just the white of the egg first and then introducing the yellow. Did you guys do this? What’s the best way to introduce eggs?

I used to work 5 days a week, since the last month I cut my working days to 3 days a week. Which means my salary is almost cut in half. I still get a lot of LO food, groceries, nappies myself alot of the times. Hubby pays when we go out etc too but when I’m home and ordering deliveries from uber eats (groceries) I t...

My own mum has always been a bit erm much with my son. I know it comes from the heart but since he’s turned two she’s took it upon herself to take charge whilst we’re out. For clarity she’s an amazing mum and nan and I appreciate her dearly. We are however two different people in the way we approach situations. ...

My in laws have only seen our baby twice since she was born. They do live a few hours away but are both retired. Am I right to think they get should be making more effort?!

Hi, I’m about to start weaning my baby this weekend and I’m wondering which foods to start fast. I was initially thinking a vegetable? What did you all begin with?

Am I being unreasonable? Everytime we make a plan to do something my partner asks his best friend to join, it’s like the first thing he says “I’ll ask … if he wants to join” which okay I don’t mind but a lot of the time it’s things we could do as a family or nice days out. Well for my partners birthday I said we co...

We’ve all been full of cold and flu and my daughter has been affected the longest. I was wondering if anyone had any creative ideas on what to do inside whilst we recover? I’ve made her some play dough using child friendly products that won’t harm her if she does happen to eat any. She absolutely loves it! I’d love ...

Im putting my son in full time nursery even though my shifts change each week and vary between daytime and evening shifts (his dad is home in the evenings). So I’ll have days in the week when he’s at nursery and I’m at home. My reasoning is that I want full flexibility at work so I can pick up any extra shifts as we...
