My brothers partners baby shower today and when I asked if my two were okay to go got told no , not a issue so I said unfortunately I wouldn’t be able make it as their dad works Sundays . Still spent a fortune on a baby shower even though couldn’t really afford to as only just gone back to work. Made other plans to...

You aren’t close and you just moved here but they always make time to talk to you if you are out of your house They heard you had an emergency and got concerned and said if we ever needed her to watch our child during an emergency she’d be happy to I didn’t know what to make of it 🙃

Baby boy number 2 is 11 days old and ever since I went into hospital to have him, I have had a guilt tugging at my heart about abandoning our first child (3 yo). He’s spent lots of time with his grandparents, aunt & uncle, and friends and of course with his dad, and he seems fairly happy, albeit maybe a bit more sen...

Does anyone else feel really alone in their relationship after having a baby? I feel like my partner has no time for me any more and only tolerates our baby. He is busy but has small freedoms like being able to sleep through the night, have alone time, pursue hobbies, see friends on his own, but still he tells me he...

Will start potty training next month as taking week off work. Looking for a travel potty - my carry potty worth it or any alternatives Thanks

Travelling with a 10 week old baby soon. Any tips on how to make this as easy as possible? Has anyone done this before/what was your experience? Personally I would’ve waited until she was abit older so feeling a little anxious about her being so young?!

VENTING TIME He had trust issues to begin with. We've been together for 6 years. The way we had started wasn't a normal way to start a relationship. I might have some fault to his trust issues from when we started. I thought I would gain his trust over time. I've been loyal and only to him since the beginning. I've ...

Hi Ladies. I was wondering how you guys froze the muffins, pancakes, nuggets, etc when you make a big batch. I always used boxes (mostly glass). However I find the frozen food tends to be harder and my baby doesn’t enjoy it as much we when I serve fresh. In fact he rejects them downright 🤦🏻‍♀️ Any freezing hacks…

This lil one is not interested in the slightest. He can’t stand purées and a few times we’ve had some luck him trying things that are baby led but generally his mouth is closed shut 🤐😆

My little boy is 2 in October and thinking about taking him away at the end of September/start of October. Only to somewhere in Spain. I want him to have a holiday this year and want to go myself but, I’m so nervous it just being the two of us. Especially at the airport as I hate them anyway, I find them so stress...

We might be teething...! LO has been having runny poos, wanting his dummy constantly, having a fever and has also been complaining of sore teeth / pain a couple of times. He's also hasn't been sleeping great and his cheeks have been red. I cant see if it actually is his molars that r coming or if it's something els...

This week I’ve changed the bedsheets 7 times a week. Once everyday. I’ve gotten to the point where I’ve accepted my toddler will probably be in diapers until she’s ready to come off it on her own. Potty training is the most stressful thing I’ve ever had to go through and consistent is key but it’s just not working 7...

Looking for ideas for my baby to feed her when we are outside. I do sometimes sweet pancakes with banana; simple and fast to make, easy to eat for the baby. BUT all sweet … hard to find simple savory ideas What do you prep?

My boys 6.5 months now and I have been giving him purées and mashed food now for a few weeks and he’s doing well, I would love to start BLW and some finger foods but my anxiety is through the roof 😭 can anyone give me some advice and what foods are best to start with?? Thank you!

Hi all. We're needing to get to Cardiff for a couple of nights in June but I have never travelled with our 9 month old before! Any hints tips? I'm guessing air BnB would be better than hotel so we don't disturb anyone with his crying sometimes. We'd probably co- sleep so maybe a spare bedroom for the other one of us...

Me, think your mum would have baby for night ( he’s 19 months old) you can go out with boys and I can order a Chinese and watch girls film in quiet….. ( we’ve had one date night since he was born where MiL had baby for 4/5 hours when we went to dinner, never over night) Husband: *looked at me shocked* I mean I can ...

How long does it take for you to get comfortable with leaving your kids with Grandparents (in laws)? My in laws expect us to leave our 7 months old daughter with them but I wonder if I do how will they know if its her feed time change time or in case she gets hurt, obviously nothing this sort has happened but I wond...
