My baby is now 11 months old and my MIL from the start has wanted to take my daughter out for walks. I’ve been very uncomfortable with it and now I’ve started but still super uncomfortable with it 😂 just trying to let her go once a month or something to shut her up. Basically there’s no exact reason right, my MIL…

I just wondered if people are planing on giving anything to the teachers at Christmas? I know maybe not everyone can afford this and that’s okay. My little one will probably do some arts and crafts to gift too! I was thinking of maybe doing a little hamper for all the teachers to share? I’m thinking that will be che...

So I could really use some advice- my son will be 4 in February and we’ve been consistently potty training since a couple months after he turned 3 years old. He does really good with peeing. We keep him naked from waist down all day and he’ll go pee fine with no accidents, but when it comes to poop, he will literall...

I want to start eating healthier and have been looking at meal plans on google but I’m sick a picky eater. Can anyone give me ideas for breakfast, lunch and tea that are also kid friendly. We use gousto for tea which I’m under the impression is relatively healthy but the meat from there recently, more specifically t...

Hi, am I correct in thinking that if my little boy doesn’t turn 9 months til may that we aren’t eligible for any free child care until the September? People keep telling me we are eligible for the 15 as soon as he turns 9 months in may and we get the 30 hours in September but I don’t think that is right?

Hi mommies! My baby who’s only 13 months recently got sick over the weekend, his cough doesn’t seem to get better, what are come home remedies I can try? ALSO I’ve been calling off of work to stay home to watch my son, I’d rather let him rest and watch over him as he sleeps in rather than wake up early to take him...

I have been making most of my baby’s purées. Now that he is almost 7 months old, WIC is offering purée baby’s foods which I didn’t know. Does anyone get Wic and know which baby foods are best for baby? What do you use? Should I just keep puréing my own? What are you feeding your baby?!

Anyone else's nursery say they can't go in the day after they have been given calpol for a temperature? I swear working mums are doomed to fail. It's all so unfair and difficult.

Help! My son who is 22 months old can’t sit down for more than a minute to eat before leaving the chair and roaming around to go play. So he’s been eating so much less the past few weeks and we absolutely don’t enjoy the meal time (and I hate cooking for him now). How do you go through these emotions and still cook ...

So I’ve been taking my toddler to a music group once a week, he’s only 14 months old so he’s going through the grabbing phase! We’ve been teaching him “gentle hands” which he’s getting the hang of really well. Basically my toddler was touching this little girls (10mo) hair clip very gently and he was leaning on he...

Feel like we've come to hault and doesn't want to use the potty she tells me when she's weed in nappy but won't use the potty no more 😕

Has anyone started potty training their babies? Our LG is 17 months and we started training yesterday, 3 poos in the potty and multiple wees, and so far, it has been the easiest thing to do!

Hi I’m wondering if there is funding in place I can apply for, I’m really stuck with childcare and it would massively help if I could get my lo into nursery for a few hours I’m also really really needing to get back to work as we are struggling badly with money Also how do you go about getting your child into nurse...

Has anyone thought about weaning yet? LO is 6 months December 6th, but 6 months technically on the 27th of this month. I’ve had two diff HVs tell me to wait until December but also that from November is fine so just wanted to see where you guys are at! She has 2 teeth, can sit up in high chair perfectly fine and al...

my daughter turns 3 end of January. will she be eligible for funding for 15 hours or 30 hours per week if i’m not working nor on Universal credit. also when would they take her? the following term or as soon as she turns 3?

I think it's weird to judge anyone for wanting their husbands last name but it's also weird to judge if they don't 🤷‍♀️ I say this because me and my friend were talking about it and she said she won't be taking her husbands last name when the time comes and I told her I get it some women have accomplishments in…

So I have a almost 7 month old boy and his birthday is coming up in a few months lol I see so many moms do these cute birthday themes for their kids and I’m not sure what theme will go good for my son lol Pinterest is full of shit sometimes 🥲 80% of the time it doesn’t come out looking like the pic/inspo

Ok to give baby mcdonalds for his 1st birthday? What would you order?

I'm going through a really hard time. I'm completely on my own. I have a 2 year old whos very demanding. I've had some things happen recently and am really struggling. If I didn't have my little one it would be one of those situations where I would be in bed all day, which is of course not possible. I cant send him ...

I am seeing so much conflicting advice on weaning. What age to start at, what foods to start with. And it is becoming very confusing. I have seen people say to start weaning from 4 months but others say not to start until 6 months. Is there any foods that they are not allowed until certain ages or better ones to sta...
