For example football, dancing, gymnastics.. We have friends whose kids do these kind of things outside of going to toddler groups and childcare. I feel bad as we don’t do this with our toddler, we go to some toddler groups and do various bits to entertain but nothing specific. Will she be behind if we don’t get ...

So today my daughter broke her tv even more today so what can I do to keep her from doing it again if I buy her a new one and if we mount it on the wall she’s gonna pull on it and do it again

What sort of things should I be getting for my baby? She’s 10 weeks old, we have rattles that strap round her wrists and a play gym she likes lying in. I’m not sure what else I should be getting to promote development/entertainment. Recommendations please!!

Hi Moms! We just had our first baby and she’s now 7 weeks old. We want to go out and do things with her, but are clueless as to what all to do. What do you do & where do you take your littles? 💕

I will first say that we don’t do a lot of screentime but my wee one is still obsessed with bing and cocomelon 🙈 I was wanting to start introducing some other things that aren’t quite as babyish. She’s taken to Frozen, I’ve tried Trolls but she’s not as fussed 😂 The sooner the bing phase is over the better as I…

Can anyone recommend wellies that its not heavy and easy to walk with? Thank you ☔️

About the only free things we have are parks, the mall play area, and an amazing nature center. But other than that. Everything else will cost more money than we have. There's only so much running around Target and Walmart we can do before the kids get bored. I wish we had more free things to do for kids.

My LO nursery said they are allowed to have screen time playing 'educational videos' to the children at nursery. I think this is so cheeky especially with the high price we pay for nursery, why are they watching YouTube! I am mad cos I notice my LO is very familiar with the sounds of Ms Rachel and it makes me think ...

My baby is just over a week old , I’ve had a look at sensory classes and it says they are suitable from birth , has anyone took there babies to these so young and do you recommend?

How long are you letting your toddlers watch the telly for? I feel like with the weather turning bad I’ve been relying on it abit more atm. She’s never been that interested in toys unless I’m sat playing with her and even then I’m lucky to get 15 mins. She’s mainly into climbing up things which is fine unless I need...

Typically on weekends we are on the move but it’s been yucky outside. What are your little ones doing during the day? We watch movies and i want to do less screen time but I honestly don’t know what to do.

On days we stay home, I think my little man is getting bored of the toys we have and I don't plan on buying any more until his birthday. Does anyone have any ideas for me of simple activities I can do with him as I'm running out of ideas. Please bear in mind I have a chronic illness so some days have less energy ...

So my partner sent me a photo of a tablet that he is thinking of getting my little girl for Christmas but I’m just not sure about it. I’m worried she will become glued to it in some way or addicted😂 we do allow her screen time throughout the day and don’t necessarily limit it as I like to have the tv on for…

My 5mo loves watching cartoons she’s so good and settled when she’s watching tv Is it any danger about that ? Or shouldn’t be worried?

My hubby and I are planning a short fall foliage trip but instead of hiking up mountains as I have done in past years. Plan to do a gondola ride up the mountain. I will be 35 weeks then, is this safe?

I’m starting to occasionally have some TV for mine at 22 months. I really like the Julia Donaldson stories, like Stick Man and The Snail and the Whale - cause they’re really well done, and calm and not over stimulating for my child. And frankly I quite like them myself. Are there any other recommendations on thing...

Is there anything anybody can recommend around Newport/Cardiff or near them areas that have anything that would be good to take my 2 year old for her birthday next week?

My little lady Rae Iris is 5 weeks old and I'm looking for classes in the afternoons to take her to. I'm finding that all the classes I can see are in the morning and I need all the time I can get in the AM to get both of us ready haha! By the time the afternoon comes along we are ready for the day so anything on an...
