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 ...

I feel so embarrassed, but my baby has had bad Constipation on and off for a few weeks and the GP said it could be because I'm not feeding her enough vegetables. I've been too scared to do baby led weaning so I rely on a lot of store bought ready made stuff. A typical day for us looks like: Breakfast - baby porri...

I’ve potty tried my son when he’s at home to use the potty but won’t if he’s wearing underwear. He will sit on potty in his underwear and go toilet so any tips on how to potty train them in underwear?

Could I have some inspiration for introducing eggs to my almost 7 month old ☺️

So we rotate breakfast options every morning to keep it exciting. My boy is such a good eater we are very lucky. However I'm confused about how much I should be giving him because no matter how much I give him he screams when it's gone. Surely 8 tablespoons of porridge is too much?!

Anybody else’s patience just completely gone out of the window. I am constant loosing my rag with my toddler the past 2 days. I think it’s mainly pregnancy hormones and knowing I’m going to give birth next week but also my partner (the children’s dad) left us last week so that doesn’t help. I am constantly telling h...

I’m so embarrassed to be asking this, but…. Sooo me and my husband got married 2 years ago. We have a 1 year old daughter. We were celibate before (although we did some naughty things, but just not penetration). We only have sex like 2x a month right now. I know my husband isn’t “getting it” anywhere else, bu...

Are you guys giving your baby the whole jar once a day? Or just half

How to deal with neighbor that wife and husband only speaks and greet with my husband but never talks to me . It be complete quietness when they see me

So the topic of “me time” came up again tonight and my husband says that we have a toddler now, there is no “me time” or “us time” not until she’s older…. I told him that I don’t view it that way and if we wanted time we can make it. (I used the example of me staying up 1-2 hour after I put baby to bed is my “me tim...

I have been home every single day with my son for 18months now. He has exclusively breastfed for 18 months. I get NO help from friends family or his dad. It’s just us 24/7/365. My mother has watched him 3xs, twice for a few hours (one was my bday, another was when my cat died) and once overnight when I had an at hom...

Hi, I’ve been so emotional my baby had a Nicu appointment yesterday, no mom wants to hear bad news. I was so excited and pumped that my baby is finally doing all the milestones, but the nicu ppl told me otherwise that is scored very low from last time he was there. I felt like I fail as mother 😭. Me in my eyes he…
