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...

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...

Hi guys, currently feeling really low. My little girl is 2 in Feb. Her behaviour at the moment is really challenging. I feel like my sweet little girl has gone😞.

Hello! My LO was born last day of April so we are sometimes a bit behind some on here age and progress wise. Over the last couple of weeks he has taken like a duck to water with weening and now has 3 meals a day - each time a food pouch and a yoghurt pouch. These are the Ella’s kitchen things from Aldi/Asda. However...

I haven't got a clue what I could put into my sons christmas Eve box this year. I'm just asking if anyone has some ideas for me on what they are doing for their little ones this year, please 😊 x

Did anyone just use the shop pouches/ jars for weaning. I’m a first time mum and not a very good cook. Fo they taste the same as home made? I don’t want no one to judge me.

My son is only 1 week old, tonight he hasn't been able to be settled. I've thought he was hungry because he kept knawing at his fist and fingers but when I go to feed him he would latch on for a few seconds and drink way to quick and make himself cough and spit up. Before tonight when I would give him a Pacifier he ...

Has anyone brought a yoto/Tonie player for their little one? Thinking about it for Christmas as my little girl loves music and dancing and they have cards with nursery rhymes/classical music/ballet songs which I know she would just love. My concerns are that even though it's no screens it is technology and so far al...
