My lb is currently being assessed for pica and last year we noticed him eating bits of the Christmas tree so slightly anxious about putting up an Xmas tree. Any other mums having/had this problem? TIA x

I need ideas baby will be 7 almost 8 months.

Does anyone else’s baby seem to get a cold when teething? My LO has the past few days been very congested, sneezing runny nose and lots of coughing and over night he’s been sick a few times. But he seems perfectly well in himself, playing nicely and happy. He didn’t do this with his bottom teeth but I think both ...

So, he's fine with being messy and likes experimenting with different textures etc. But he just hates having tiny crumbs on his fingers and will shout at me to remove them. Anyone else having this at the moment? Im guessing its just because he's seeing more details now? Nothing helpful on google so thought Id ask he...

Morning, everyone! 👋 Does anyone know of any baby groups or classes near to the Berry Hill area? I don't drive, and I would love to take my 7 month old to meet some other babies. Ravensdale Family Hub is a bit tricky to walk to from me in this slippy weather. ❄️

Does anybody else have struggles with their kids/stepkids because of Fortnite?! I wish I said no when my stepson asked if he could try playing Fortnite on his Nintendo (he’s 13 coming up) I wanted him to enjoy something to do in the evening after school but I’m regretting it now as he has become so addicted to the p...

Has anyone else managed to capture your baby's reaction to a food they're unsure about? Would love to see them. This was Bronte's reaction to a falafel and hummus baby food. 🤣 Bit too adventurous for now, I think!

My oldest earthbound is 3 years old and is opening doors so I had bought those caps that go over door knobs and he takes them off like they're nothing. He looked me dead in the eyes as he ripped it off and threw it on the floor and walked out of his room. I don't know what else to do because every night he leaves hi...

Visiting family for Thanksgiving with my 5 month old. Flying with Southwest this Saturday on a non-stop 3 hour flight. Any helpful tips? Can I bring her car seat & stroller? The car seat snaps into the stroller.

So my bd wants a visit with baby and I only feel comfortable with it being supervised. The only person in his fam that isn't completely nuts is who I pick. Well she blocked his number. And I'm not letting him in my house he's crazy. Can't do his home because no one would be there and his home is cigarettes and dog p...

I've been with my partner for five years and we have a 4 year old daughter. Our relationship has been very up and down for a long time. He overcame a gambling addiction but still lies to me about his finances which I find very triggering. He runs his own business and works away frequently and we have little in the w...

My husband said he was gonna bring his lap top to work from home bc he has too much work to catch up on. When he got home he didn’t get on his laptop bc he said he can’t get any work here at home bc baby. Then I said to him “ u see how I feel? How do u expect me to work from home and care for baby?” Bc he said I s...

Do you get money from your hubby on a weekly/biweekly/monthly from your hubby? Money that he gives you just to give you? How much does he if so? I was thinking of asking my partner for $20 a week. So $80 a month. I do all housework but he pays all bills. I do all the kids stuff, his stuff, and my stuff. Laundry dish...

So me and my partner looked after our daughter for almost 2years. We always managed to work without needing childcare. We did however put her into nursery for two half days a week in September and she was fine for the first few times, but then they would have to rip her out of my arms screaming i was heart broken. S...

Hi everyone, I am writing here with some hope, thst others have been in this situation and I'm not the only one.. I really hope I'm not going to be judged, that is the last thing what I don't want to face.. I have a one month old, amazing girl baby, but unfortunately since birth we are facing just hard times with...

Anyone else finding it hard to balance life with your little one and step kids? My partner has 2 girls with 2 other mums and we have 1 girl together. His other 2 girls are older (10 & 13) and he used to have them both every weekend but as they’re getting older, he’s letting them make the decision on whether they co...

My little one will be nearly 17 months old at Christmas, and I have no idea what to get her, and everyone else wants ideas too! Any ideas about what to get for her age? She already has so many toys we don't particularly need anymore, so more ideas of other things to get her. Thank you!

Ladies I know I'm getting stuck in my own head so just looking for some words of reassurance. Partner and I are off for a little date night tomorrow. Dinner and cinema. Really looking forward to just having some quality time together. Little one will be staying overnight at my Mum's, who lives 20 minutes down the ...

Looking for snack inspiration please (ideally not out of a packet) thank you ☺️
