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?!

My LO will be 5 month next week and all of a sudden become so interested in our food. He's trying to grab food off our plates and crying when we don't allow it. Has anyone else had this happen? How did you deal with it? We are waiting until 6 months to wean but LO is getting so upset when we don't let him have wha...

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...

As the title says. Do you do main meal for lunch, dinner or both? My little one usually has pinwheels, frittata, sandwiches, veggie tots for lunch and then main meal for dinner but not sure whether to change it now it's colder weather 🤔

I live in a flat so my daughters room is close to the living room, I had a friend over the other day and they were disgusted that I allow my little girl to play by herself in her room. Not going to lie I’ve let her go back and forth to play since she could walk, she’s never climbed and if needs help she will shout “...

So I currently have 2 little boys 14 months and 8 weeks and I’m on the wait list to get my own place. I will be moving with my rabbit and I am wanting to get a dog once I am financial stable enough for one but I don’t know what breads to be looking at that is good with kids and also won’t try and hunt the rabbit. W...

Anything with liver in it or chicken feet 🤢 but i *do* like those kind of food now, i guess it's true. exposure is key 😂

So this has happened at least 4 times in the last 2 months. My LO goes to the childminder just once a week & of course as it’s winter, she’s on & off had colds, nothing major. I send her when she’s been a bit snotty but no other symptoms & perfectly happy within herself, if she was worse I wouldn’t send her. Every t...

We was in my local town when I let my son walk (partner was with me) he’s 20m old and is a super confident walker and usually is a diamond. Well today we was doing a bit of Xmas shopping and he was stood near us watching Cory while we looked. Next minute you know some old man was shouting “he’s out the shop!” I leg...

My son has a horrible cold and is spitting out any food that isn’t yoghurt 🫥 has anyone been through this? Did you find another way to top up their food intake?

My baby is having a pretty bad teething day. He’s off his feeds and just chomping on my nipple. Has anyone experienced this?

I had made it all this long without my baby falling off my bed until this morning 😭 I bring him into my bed in the mornings for a little snooze and cuddles and he always intertwined with me, but this morning I woke up to him falling off my bed and I feel SO guilty. I do have a big thick rug on the floor which he…

I am so ashamed to post this it’s why I have posted as incognito but I need all your advices because I feel guilty every morning doing this to my baby. I feel really guilty at the fact that I always give my baby mashed up food because I am SO petrified of him chocking on food that’s just been cut up in small pieces ...

It's the same on both sides. My husband says he can't see anything but I can. Am I being crazy or does he need an eye test?
