I just hateee that I care so much for his validation like I was once a care free girl never gave a f but it’s been years together and now with our 8m old everything has changed he didn’t wanna be a dad (he said that from we were young) things happened and I was blessed w our baby boy and he is a great dad to him but...

My boy is 13 months and recently started to refuse to eat if he sees there is food on his fingers. As soon as it happens the food gets thrown and then he will not eat another bite. Even if he has only had a few mouthfuls. I'm getting a bit worried it could be a sign of autism as he is showing some other signs too. ...

Baby is interested in absolutely anything that is NOT a toy 😂 I need ideas on safe things that she can play with (6 months old) that isn't specifically a toy. We've just moved so the place is upside down so I need an hour or so a day that I can get her to play alone whilst I sort things in the same room.…

Does anyone else’s baby seem to get a cold when teething? My LO has the past few days been very congested, sneezing runny nose and lots of coughing and over night he’s been sick a few times. But he seems perfectly well in himself, playing nicely and happy. He didn’t do this with his bottom teeth but I think both ...

I'm in. Long distance relationship. My boyfriend of 6 months is coming down for the weekend. Unfortnately I have the flu. He still wants to come up and visit me. We had booked tickets to go cinema on Saturday, I told him I'm still really unwell I won't be able to go cinema. He said no problem he will let me know i...

My LO is 21 months, and I started her in nursery as I thought it would be good for her. She has developmental delay, and it's been suggested she may need an autism assessment as she only recently started walking and still unsteady on her feet. She has no understanding not even who Mom and Dad are or what anything is...

Looking to get my 18 month old her first tonies box for Christmas 🎄 What tonie characters are best for 18-24 month olds? Going to get the bundle with 7 and stagger giving characters as she gets older. She has so far been screen free but does have lots of books and loves reading and likes Peppa Pig from a couple of…

Hey mummies, My little boy is a few days shy of three months but is showing small signs of teething already. I’ve looked at his little gums and feel like I can see a sign of white pegs under, he’s drooling a lot and has been very irritable the last few nights. Is it too early though? And any recommendations on any t...

So, he's fine with being messy and likes experimenting with different textures etc. But he just hates having tiny crumbs on his fingers and will shout at me to remove them. Anyone else having this at the moment? Im guessing its just because he's seeing more details now? Nothing helpful on google so thought Id ask he...

Morning, everyone! 👋 Does anyone know of any baby groups or classes near to the Berry Hill area? I don't drive, and I would love to take my 7 month old to meet some other babies. Ravensdale Family Hub is a bit tricky to walk to from me in this slippy weather. ❄️

It’s every weekend when we’re supposed to have our nephew, my sister and brother in law “ground” him so he can’t come and see us. It’s been 3 weekends in a row so far. I’d understand the odd one if his behaviour was really bad, but it’s over petty things and it’s becoming so annoying because we’re planning things to...

Does anybody else have struggles with their kids/stepkids because of Fortnite?! I wish I said no when my stepson asked if he could try playing Fortnite on his Nintendo (he’s 13 coming up) I wanted him to enjoy something to do in the evening after school but I’m regretting it now as he has become so addicted to the p...

my sil (brothers wife) removed me from every social media platform. she kinda has an attitude. i never got that friendly vibe from her. i have always felt jealous and insecure vibes. clearly she’s been going through some career related issues and my brother as well. and when she was added in all my social media acco...

My daughter will be 1yrs old Feb. 17th… I have no idea what to do for her birthday…please give me some suggestions or ideas.

My son is really good at learning and remembering things. Amazing at counting, ABC and shapes. How are we teaching colours? I feel like he is confused when I say colours, e.g. he knows an apple is an apple but when i say ‘ red apple’ he looks at me like, no it’s just an apple 😂 just one example but how are we…

How is everyone’s baby getting in with solids? My 6m old loves food and is doing so well but omg it’s wreaking havoc on his digestive system. He is pooing multiple times a day and now in the night. The night poop wakes him up and he doesn’t go back down for 2 hours 😭 Please tell me it gets better? I’m dreading…

Has anyone else managed to capture your baby's reaction to a food they're unsure about? Would love to see them. This was Bronte's reaction to a falafel and hummus baby food. 🤣 Bit too adventurous for now, I think!

My man does this a lot…he enjoys back rubs etc but I swear he asks like as I’m trying to fall asleep like legit will ask AFTER I lay down on my stomach and get comfortable. I would hope he knows I’m exhausted because I try to get up as much as I can to pump or if not then I’m feeding the baby getting up for work etc...

My lo is born towards end of dec and he’s now refusing to eat meals!!! Yesterday he had scrambled eggs, 2 waffles and 2 rice wafers all day! Today he refused weetabix and had 2 spoons..I know there’s a stage where they refuse foods so can I have ideas that other mums gone thru that works for them in terms of getting...

I’m terrified at the thought of having to put my daughter in daycare. We’ve been soooo lucky up to this point to be able to juggle our schedules between me, hubby, and my mom so that someone is always available to watch LO. But tonight at work I found out I could possible be getting a promotion. The downside is that...
