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.

Thinking of taking my son for his second birthday. Is it worth it or better to wait til he’s older? He loves trains and transport and we are going to get the train there to make a day of it.

Thinking of taking my two year old for his birthday as he loves transport. We’re gonna get the train there and make a day of it. Is there enough to do there for a toddler? Thanks

So me and my fiance decided to open up and have a person or two join us in the bedroom and we’re on a couple dating apps. (we have extensive rules for this) Weeeeelllll tonight I checked on our apps just looking thru the request, because what some men have the audacity to say knowing I have a man is crazy. Then I ...

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...

So I haven’t gotten my period back yet since giving birth in Oct 2023. I test weekly just to make sure I’m not pregnant. Doc says it’s because of breastfeeding. So I really want another baby. I want my daughter to have a sibling to grow up with. Husband has a daughter from a previous marriage but she is grown and l...

Wanted to explore some toddler classes but literally ALL of them ( I've looked at different types) are on weekdays!! How did they not have classes over the weekend? How do they expect us to take our toddlers when we work?😭I feel like he will miss out 😞

How would you feel if your SO decided to drive 4 hours away from home to take someone home!? At 12am!!! Because the person decided to come up here with a female and she left him stranded!! The persons mom tells the guy to call my fiancé and now he’s stuck having to drive 4 hours away late at night!! And then has to ...

My little boy is 19 months old, the last month he's been really clingy which I actually love however, lately I've been getting really overwhelmed and struggling to be a calm mum. I've never shouted at him but when he's constantly whining when I'm trying to get things done or won't go sleep I find myself getting grum...

So he just started yesterday. I also made sure I rewarded him whenever he went pee pee. I gave him stickers, snacks juice and encouragement! Now I’m trying to figure out how to get him to 💩 I had him on the pot all day and he didn’t go but when I finished giving him a bath, he decided to go 💩 in the tub. Is there…

Tired of a toxic relationships where you get married. If your husband is not supportive. Definitely these mother-in-law’s father-in-law’s brother-in-law, sister-in-law’s extended families. They start to judge you interfere. They make your life miserable, and then also they are living in that society with high head, ...

Does anyone else feel like their 9 year olds are already in that teenage attitude phase?? I thought tweens was like 10.5-12 I thought I had more time 😭😭

So my friends are hosting a friends giving this weekend and as a first time mom I want to go out without my partner and baby to have some me time with friends. So I told my partner that he was gonna watch the baby by himself and he said no that he is too small (3months ) that he can’t and to not be insisting on goin...

What do you call it when you know you should be mad at your SO after finding out he disrespected you behind your back, he mistreats you, he doesn’t take you on dates, he isn’t romantic, he treats everybody else better than you! He doesn’t want to spend quality time with you, all he wants to do is play the game! And ...

This turned into a long and rambling panicked vent. Thanks in advance for reading. Context: We’ve just had our second baby - he’s 12 days old. Our eldest is 2 and a half. My partner is a self employed electrician and has been running his business for about 18 months. I don’t think he knows what he’s doing and/or i...

Okay so obviously there’s so much shit to say so I’m gonna make it short. I have 2 under 2. In laws don’t seem to give a fuck They don’t message to see how kids are doing or if they can see them nothing. My MIL has held my youngest baby 2 times and she’s. 4 months old. Anyways long story short we didn’t get invited ...
