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 ...

Does anyone have recommendations of where to physically go to try on some shoes for my one year old, who has just learnt to walk. Bonus if they do barefoot style shoes too.

My little girl past little while would be saying things like can't do it, can't like it (don't like things) and slightly fussy. She was pretty ill last week and since she has got better she's very very emotional, she's not the same little fun happy playful girl. She's 95% the time saying stop it, don't like it, won'...

Anyone else having a good refusal phase with their little ones. My little one is 10 months old and was eating and finishing all the food and suddenly one afternoon she stopped and now is a struggle every meal to feed her. Feeling so upset she’ll loose weight

I praise these mums that manage to take their babies/kids out almost everyday to do something because I just can’t seem to do it, I normally lack the motivation as I’m exhausted and there’s always something to do round the house (washing, cleaning, cooking etc.) and by the time we get out the house it’s a faff I nor...

Hi all, my little one is 7months now, we started weaning just before 6 months. He was doing so well with using the spoon himself, putting in his mouth and eating the foods. Now all he wants to do is bang the spoon on the high chair and barely touches anything. He won’t allow me to feed him with the spoon as he...

Does anyone have suggestions? I’m struggling this year on what to get my daughter. Thank you 😊

My little girl has hand foot and mouth and it's so brutal 😭 any tips on keeping them happy!? She's also completely off all food 😔

Before I fell pregnant with my little boy me and his dad had talked at length about having a baby. Within 3 months of trying, I conceived. He has a daughter from a previous relationship and he told me that he did absolutely everything for her. So there was me thinking we'd be equal in what we do for out little on...

I feel like I'm just doing a terrible job at being a mum. My LO is 3 months old and this morning I looked into his crib and there was a puddle of sick with it over him and in his ear. I feel awful that I didn't see or hear him. I've still not managed to get us into a routine, still feel like I'm guessing at what he ...

Hey, So I’m 8 months pregnant and I have a 20 month old son. I haven’t had the energy to do much during the day (while my other half is at work) to take my son out. I’m currently on iron tablets for my low iron levels. I’ve been out but I’ve had my mum, MIL or boyfriend with me to help me out. He seems to be ...

Me and my little girl have down with the winter vomiting bug. She's been potty trained for over 2 weeks but I'm having to keep her in pull ups as she's just not getting to the toilet on time and my couch is needing washed my carpets you name it 😢 I feel awful and worried I'm going to set her back again with the…

I’ve seen far too many posts about crappy partners and I know you love them but remember you DO NOT need to put up with this, you should not have to ASK them to look after their own child. If they’re not pulling their weight - stop doing things for them. Remember a partner that love and cares for you will do anythin...

Good Morning Mummies, Can you all please share your food/bottle schedule with you 8month olds. I just want to make sure I’m feeding/snacking enough or too little. Thank you

What do your babies eat? I do a mix of the baby foods (chunky texture) & normal foods, anxious about him choking or he just throws it on the floor or shoves it all in his mouth 🤣 so I do some spoon feeding so I know he's having some food throughout the day. Anyway, what do your little ones eat in a typical day? And…

Been married for 4 years and nearly after everything argument the topic divorce comes up and I had enough. He gives me signals towards that as in if I carry on with my ‘never ending, unrealistic expectations’ of him, it may be better we split our ways?! Like when it’s him wanting something from me I try do it but wh...

My son has started rejecting his porridge in the mornings. He used to love it. He now cries when I give it to him. I’ve tried putting small amounts on his tray for him to get messy with (and then eat) as well but he hates it. How long do you try before you offer something else? I obviously want to put zero pressure ...
