I have a nearly 7 month old and a 2 year old, now the weather is getting colder and the parks are freezing 😂 does anyone have any days out ideas? I worry with play areas as my oldest isn't big enough to play on her own but I cant carry my 7 month old round a wacky warehouse 😂

My baby is 14 weeks old and is inconsolable today, she has a rashy face, dribbling like crazy, chewing on her hand and she has a bit of a sore bum. It’s textbook symptoms but is she too young?

I have a 30 month old boy and my husband is just not interested in doing anything with him. The moment he gets home from work he will stick the TV or just stay glued to his phone. If our son wants to play with him he just blanks him and I asked him why are you not playing with him and he said I don't want to. I feel...

If you are a potty training boy mom , when did you begin teaching them to stand? I’m a single mom so I’m like when and how do I teach him this? 😂

Hello!!! So my 8 month old when he eats solids sometimes stuff he normally likes like egg omelets he will start hysterically crying after he puts it in his mouth has anyone else noticed that or could have some ideas why? Or if I need to do something different?

Please can someone tell me if I’m over reacting or not! My little one is not a huge fan of nursery and nor am I tbh. Every time I drop him he cries and the room always feels rather chaotic with a number of babies and toddlers crying on the floor. The ladies working there all seem nice and busy doing things but it j...

Any one else having this issue? Most foods she’s putting in her mouth she’s just pushing it back out again with her tongue including food she would normally like! Isnt really wanting to try anything different at the moment, is this all just an age phase thing? She was a way better eater a few months ago!

My toddler goes to preschool and we’re struggling to come up with lunch options for him. Most days we pack a sandwich of some sort/nuggets, a veggie pouch, some fresh fruit and some yogurt but would love ideas on what else I can include. He won’t eat fresh veggies on his own (we have to supervise for him to finish a...

I'm running out of ideas for my 7 month old for breakfast. She seems to have gone off everything we give her. She's been having purees and porridge since she was 4 months and she's bored of everything, we've tried omelette and toast but she isn't interested after a few bites. Any advice would be much appreciated TIA

Hi all, I love my in-laws and they are so generous and cannot do enough for me and my husband and our baby, but how on earth do I go about telling them to stop buying her toys. It’s constant. Every week she’s with them she’s got something new! She will never know the value of anything and Christmas is just around t...

I used to take him to playgroup but in winter i don’t like to take him as he always fall sick when i do. But it feels so long when we don’t do outdoor activities.

Would anyone be interested in watching real life videos of a first time mum? I’ve put a couple videos out but wondering whether it’s just cringey 😬

Baby (6 months) doesn’t seem to enjoy my company…. I know, I’m always there and it’s not constant fun, I cut his nails, wash his face, get him dressed, do the housework around him while he plays. But I do take lots of time to really engage with him and play silly games, but he just looks away bored, or gives me a ha...

We have not had an easy ride with parenthood (first baby) and this has put a lot of strain on our relationship. We've been together for 12 years and still very much love each other but we are really struggling. We both want to make it work but things are so bad now we don't know if we can even come back from it. ...

My child is 7 and has no friends outside of school. What clubs do you recommend to connect with new people?

Today at playgroup my little boy was playing with a bunch of plastic shapes. He likes collecting things right now and putting things into piles of the same category, so he was running around collecting all the plastic shapes. But there was probably about 30 scattered around in total and he was only playing with 6 at...

Would love to get others view please I am on maternity leave with my firstborn who is currently 9 months old. My spouse works Monday to Friday 9-6pm as a health care worker. Am I asking too much for him to be off his phone whilst having dinner? He probably isn’t on it a lot during his working hours, but from the ti...

My parents would like to get my 13 month old a learning tower for Christmas. Does anyone have one they can recommend?
