Please could you share your daily routines around food and what/how often you’re offering food to babies? Just a little background my baby is EBF and has CMPA so I am dairy free. My baby gains weight very slowly, probably around 14lbs. He has wet and dirty nappies but is dropping centiles. I feel like I can’t physic...

Potentially a little too early to be thinking about this but my little girl is extremely strong willed and is already doing things and looking at me cheekily to see how I’m going to react! Have you discussed discipline in your household and what does it look like for you?

I need to finalise nursery hours for my little boy. I’m returning to work full time and have two options: 1 - term time only, pay 50% during the holiday to keep his place 2 - full time hours He is doing three days a week and he is with family for the other two days. I’m feeling guilty for wanting to have him in n...

My daughter has become so so fussy! only wants plain foods, I can barely get her to eat any vegetables. She’ll have broccoli, maybe peas but won’t touch anything else. She doesn’t like hard carrots / peppers or any salad (she used to) she likes chicken, she won’t have porridge or eggs for breakfast anymore, only toa...

When/did everyone start getting things ready and set up.. putting the next to me up, car seat in the car, bouncers, swings etc..?

The transition from 1 to 2 has been easier than I thought, but I have been struggling knowing my son isn’t my only baby anymore. I love my daughter and am so glad she is here with us now, but I can’t help but feel so sad he isn’t getting all the attention. He loves being a big brother and is so helpful with her. Idk...

Has there ever been a case where a baby never settles in nursery? Just getting worried now 😥🙈

Dad wakes up, and gets ready for work while I prepare bfast for baby. When he comes down, he says goodbye and leaves for work. Comes home after baby is asleep for the night. Is this solo parenting?

How old was everyone’s baby when they started to wean then? Iv been giving my little girl pure pouches only half a pouch and baby rice/porridge since she was 4 months?

Hey mamas.. LO will be 2 on Wednesday and I'm looking for toys we can do together but that he can also do my himself (after some input) whilst I get bits done (he's not currently fond of puzzles) Anything your LO loves?

Not sure how or where to start so any advice is greatly appreciated! My little one is 6mo can you give me some recipes/ snacks or foods that are okay for him!

Anyone else's little one sucking there hand like crazy? She isn't hungry, she will knock her dummy out of her mouth to suck her hand instead

My 2 year is not eating when I make her food anymore. I am try to switch up foods, but she refuses to try. Should I just wait until she begs for food because she will eventually be hungry. Is this a stage they go through? 😩

Is it possible to feel neglected by your partner? I've been in bed really ill since Monday. Today is the worst I've felt having hot cold shivers last night, waking up in a puddle of my own sweat, my body feeling sore all over and not being able to maintain any temperature hot or cold. I feel awful. Our little gi...

My son (2) is in daycare and I work at his daycare. We teach our child consent and always ask him if we can hold, kiss, or hug him before we do so (other than picking him up for safety reasons) and I was told that a teacher said “come here buddy” and he said no then she went to get him anyway and he said “go away” a...

Below is a pic of my front door and…I know it’s dirty and nasty. What cleaning solution would you recommend to remove as much of this dirt as possible. I have used boiling hot water and white vinegar. This helps but it’s not fantastic.

My little one has never really taken to solids, around 8 months he did start eating a bit more, but it's drastically dropped. He's one now and most days will maybe have one or two teaspoons of something and that's it. We offer three meals a day and tried all sorts of foods/ways of serving it. Also tried reducing m...

Has anyone gave their baby the thin rice cake snacks before 6 months? I want to give it to my baby who will be 6 months in a couple of weeks but I’m kinda nervous he will still choke on it

My LB will be 6 months in 2 weeks, I am a 2nd time mum but my first I was advised to wean from 4 months due to ebf and feeding for 50 minutes. I must add I don't and didn't intend to wean 2nd till 6 months. But I'm wondering if these are signs that he's still hungry. My LB sits unassisted and has good neck control s...

My little one hasn’t been eating properly for 3 weeks now! I’m running out of ideas and the only thing she’ll eat is Greek yoghurt 😢 Any tips?
