My son is 4.5 months old and is teething and I don’t know what to do the only teether he likes looks like a banana and he puts it in his mouth and yanks it out which results in his gums being cut open then he doesn’t want to eat currently the past 2 days I’ve been giving him Tylenol to help twice a day I try to stre...

My daughter is 2.5 years old. She's my first. We started potty training on a whim yesterday because she asked to wear the undies I bought her for whenever we decided to start. So I brought the potty chair downstairs, and she had a "nakey bum" day yesterday 😂. She did amazing! Only 2 accidents in the morning when…

So my 11 month old did her first trial at a daycare and I sobbed the whole two hours we were apart. When I picked her up she had been crying so much that she was doing that hiccup-y crying. It took her a long time to calm down. She keeps doing that shakey post-cry inhale even in her sleep. Everyone at the daycare ...

I am starting to question my parenting skills or if I am a good mother My 5yr old daughter has always shown difficult behavior since she was 2 yrs old. It’s been one thing to another. She will do anything for attention especially negative attention. Both at home and in school. She is extremely hyperactive, can’t...

We don’t live near family and I feel my partner puts a lot of pressure on me to have us visit his family or they come here to stay on the weekend. One of his parents lives 3 hours away who keep insisting we come stay with them, we would only be able to stay one night with partners work so a 6 hour round trip with a ...

Does anyone else’s 6-7 month old baby absolutely hate baby food? My LO is definitely interested in our food but when I try to give her purees or solids (that are safe for her) she has no interest and will even gag… I never thought a baby could gag so dramatically you would think I was feeding her horrific food. She ...

My 6 month old twins seem to be spitting out any type of purees food etc. i did have some luck with some wosits type of snack even then they were just licking them and it was just melting. They dont seem to be intrested in any sort of foods. Is this normal, my 22 month old was very quick i had no issues with him in ...

for the past 2 days my son’s daycare have been telling us he’s been refusing his lunch which is odd because he hasn’t shown this behavior at home. i’m not sure if it’s a developmental change or he’s just going through a phase but this isn’t like him. he’s 15 months, 16 saturday. anyone else experienced this?

I’m a new Mum to a wonderful little boy (4 months). I was on the receiving end of a lot of fear mongering comments whilst pregnant…”you’ll never sleep again”, “you’ll hate your partner”, “you’ll hate your body,” “the newborn stage is so awful”. None of which has been true so far, although I appreciate its early days...

How do we feel about screen time? I don’t like my son watching tv and if I do decide to put it it’s like 20-30 min a day. I live with my mother and she constantly puts the tv on for him no matter how much I tell her no and it pisses me off. She claims that he needs to watch tv so he can learn (and i don’t care if ...

Does anyone have recommendations for an indoor play area for toddlers? Bonus points if there is a coffee shop in it or nearby! I’m looking for somewhere my 18 m/o can play indoors as it becomes colder in the mornings and darker in the evenings. The only spots I’ve heard of are in north county/30+ minute drive, hopin...

My daughter is almost 19 months, I have been very fortunate to have this time with her (I decided to quit my professional job as couldn’t see it working part time) we are together 247 but recently my mother has been having her the odd day to get used to the change that is about to happen I’ve been fine getting house...

I've been seeing alot of posts lately about the amount of poos and teething. What's the correlation ? Can anyone enlighten me as I am clueless

Send help 🫠 toddler is currently only eating select fruits and vegetables and yogurt. Refusing all pastas, meats/fish, anything new/unfamiliar is completely off the table. Won’t even touch chicken nuggets when they were his favourite previously!

Does anyone else find that their friends without babies just don’t get it I have a friend that’s pressuring me to come to her birthday outing in the evening/night time and I’ve explained that I can’t afford it because maternity pay is horrible and it’s Christmas etc, also I’m breastfeeding and if my husbands worki...

So my partner is super weird with his phone. Has been the whole time we've been together, really. Sometimes, he's more relaxed about it, and other times, he's ridiculously protective. For Eg, on a few occasions, he has left his phone open and facing up when he has left the room. Normal right. Most of the time, he...

Does anyone know if they are bringing in 30 free childcare for 9 months old or is it staying at 15 hours? I can't seem to find an up to date article or anything on the Gov website.

What activities are you doing at home with your energetic toddlers?

Hello Beautiful Mommas, My 18months old started refusing all the foods he loves eating all at the same time. Could this be teething issues or what please? Is anyone else experiencing this at the moment? What do you advise? Also, please I would like to know what other drinks you offer your toddlers aside water and...

I know it’s pretty early but curious if anyone has started incorporating basic education in their daily routine with their child . For example just teaching alphabet, numbers etc. in a more structured way rather than through fun and games. Like do you have a set up for study etc. would be interested to know what you...
