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…

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...

I just gave my baby some of the Heinz chocolate pudding & about 4 spoonfuls she was sick what the hell could this have been?

My OH only just back from work now knowing I can't look after my lo as I have stomach bug. I wouldn't normally want him to miss a day's work, but I am ill. My mum is coming now so he can go back to work. Fed up with his bs.

Mine doesn't unless I nag :/ so I've asked if he can only help with the bathrooms once a week and he said he'd rather 'pay' someone to do it. However, I don't want a stranger in my house cleaning. He works full time and I work part time, on my days I'm not working I have my one year old daughter with me. It's so har...

I have an 11 month old and she’s staying with her grandparents for a few hours Friday night from 6 till 10. Idk what to do. Most of my friends are working / don’t have the funds to go out. So dunno what to do with myself in that time slot lol any ideas? I’m 22 single mum.

Not sure if I'm seeing things, or if teeth look different coming up than I thought. But does my LG have 2 teeth coming through, or is this just how one looks coming through? Excuse her face, she wasn't impressed with me changing her nappy 🤣

Is anyone else’s 21 months old keep on asking for food? He always has been a good eater (not too fussy, good appetite) but lately I feel like he is constantly asking for food. He has three meals, a bit of milk twice a day plus snacks, fruit etc… I feel like he mostly does it in the morning as he is “getting ready” t...

Need some advice. Sorry for the rant! MIL is saying she wants to arrange their friends meeting our 7 month old son. Some context we are staying with them temporarily until our house is finished And she has been constant with doing things with our son that I’m not happy with and trying to control things with me ...

Alright ladies from Georgia I just have to know how the hell when the whole house is clean are these giant size roaches still coming into my home and why? I just don’t understand anywhere I go in this damn state they are everywhere and are huge no matter building house they are there. And yes I’m a wimp when it come...

Just asking as I have no idea what to decide my LB grandparents have asked if we wanted them to take him for three nights away with them to go see Christmas lights and to give me a rest but he's really clingy and hasn't had a night away before what would you guys do I'm really stuck ?!

My baby is 6 1/2 months and started weaning 3 weeks ago. He’s having purées atm and he has some foods he absolutely loves but most he refuses. I try to mix his favs with new foods (very small amounts) but he still refuses it even though it’s his fav food. It’s so frustrating most of the time he has 1 spoon and then ...

Hey girls, My bank requires me to put a name or business name when transferring money. My government child care account has an account number, sort code and reference number but no name. I've tried my child's name but the bank says it 'doesn't match'. Have any of you had success with this? Thank you!

So my 1st choice school is the furthest away in my area, there's 2 others which tbh are both good so I wouldn't really mind wher she went. But I have my heart set on the 1st choice and would be gutted if she didn't get in!! As it's the furthest, does anyone know if there's actually any chance of getting in?! Just ...
