I see your babies having all the fancy plates, all the berries that may I say are currently out of season lol. You broke yet? Mine loves avocados and every expensive fruit you can think of. This bougie taste is making me wanna sign up for bankruptcy 😭🤣🤣🤣

I recently caught up with my sister for the first time in a year (we live 6 hours away). She's a childcare worker and has a lot of opinions. She found out my daughter who is 1 still contact naps during the day and she started to give me a lecture on how she will need to be put down drowsy but awake when she goes to ...

So my baby daddy and I have made some adjustments. Like for example, he started to give the baby baths and feed her at night because he works during the day. We switch out bath and meal time. He tells me about how exhausted he is that he has to come home and do that. If he isnt doing those things 9/10 times he is on...

I am a teacher and send my daughter to an in home daycare that only takes teachers’ kids. They have changed their policies and want us to pay 50% for days the school is closed, such as winter break, is this typical for other daycares?

For anyone using the governments new free childcare scheme, does this cover the registration fee you have to pay for nurseries? I was so shocked a nursery requested £200 to complete my registration for the waiting list!!

my daughter is coming up on a month old and she’s a VERY messy eater. it goes all down her mouth. please tell me why my mil has told my boyfriend to put our daughter onto stage 2 formula???

Has anyone started giving their little one any food yet? Mine is 4 months today and is quite a heated debate between me and my husband

First time mum, EBF 15 week old. My LO wont sleep unless I feed him to sleep. He wakes up every hour and stays awake feeding on and off for an hour before falling asleep on the boob. If I don't feed him, he cries and fussed for hours - literally won't fall asleep unless held. My back is killing me, I'm in pain. I'm...

Hey everyone! Exciting news that I have my c section Monday! Not so nice news I told my MIL and she phoned me this morning saying my boyfriends family will be there waiting as soon as he’s out to visit. Can I start with the fact that I’m literally going to be just about in recovery. So I’ve stood my ground and told...

In laws have asked for us to come up on Christmas day this year with baby but we think we would have a nicer first Christmas at home. We live two hours away so we would be driving 4 hours on Christmas Day, baby will be 4/5 weeks old, so we would have to take multiple breaks on the journey both ways probably make e...

Sorry in advance for being long. So I am a sahm of a 17, 13, 9, 7, and 2 year old, with extreme anxiety and depression, I am medicated for it. Sometimes, I just feel like I'm losing touch with reality. I feel so alone in just about everything, and I don't know what to do. I feel a bad panic attack coming on right no...

My son is 8 months old and nurses nonstop all night. I am not sure if he is extra hungry or it’s just for comfort. I am looking into organic cereals to try to add to breast milk or even formula to try. Any recommendations?

Made him hamburger helper (his favorite after a crap day) and made vegan Mac and cheese loaded with carrots, butternut squash, and chickpeas for me and toddler (who also won’t eat veggies). I asked him to put away the leftover cheese sauce from the blender while I nurse baby… Him- “I already used it all” Me- “huh? ...

My toddler turns 2 this weekend and honestly this last week has been awful 😩. I can’t even touch her hair without her screaming so brushing it or putting it up is a nightmare. She will kick me and my other half anytime we try to change her nappy and has a full on meltdown and scream when we set boundaries for her…

My son hates porridge. But after success with baked porridge oat bars, this week I’ve been giving him breakfast crumbles and he LOVES them- just incase you need a breakfast idea to add to your list! They’re perfect for autumn mornings, and a great way to use up all the bits of fruit I end up having left over!

Any other mommas have a partner/spouse that works out of town so through the week you are basically a single parent?? I love him and I know it’s hard on him to be away from his family but he signs out once he gets back to his hotel. I’m on my own from Monday at 8AM-Friday at 3pm. And it’s exhausting and overwhelming...

Where do I start?

I’m feeling down right now. I’m feeling like I’m not being a good mom because I been so busy trying to keep me and my daughter roof over our head that I been more frustrated. Me and my daughter currently stay in a Airbnb and I’m a month behind trying to catch back up and I have a job with the Airbnb Host. I really...

About to start weaning my baby, do I give purées? Or do I just go straight to her picking things up and eating them?

So my 1 year old LOVED anything I made him, now he’ll only eat grapes kiwis and strawberries from his high chair… everything else he throws off. And I take him out of the high chair because i won’t make him anything else. So he eats everything off the floor… I do vacuum his area 3 times a day, but is there a way to ...
