Well not quite free time ....once my LO is off to bed at 7pm, I think phewww I have some free time to myself and sort out the dishes and clothes, watch netflix, check my socials etc as I spend the whole day glued to the baby he doesn't even like it when I'm on the phone or open up the laptop as he thinks its fun to ...

Lucky's dads rules vs the 80s 😂

How much, if anything, would you pay? So, I have a 7mo and I work nights 2-3 nights per week. I've had someone living here since end of May. They paid a little the 1st few months but they got close with my son and I trusted them enough to babysit while I work. They haven't paid anything to live here the last couple...

Probably our babies still young for this but any thoughts on the tonie story box? Is it worth it?

This is our second child. He was pretty much the same with our first but i thought that was partially due to the fact that it was all new and unexpected. However, now even with our second newborn, my husband just gets so stressed when the baby cries. I just left the baby with him while I took a shower, I came out...

When should we start introducing/teaching utensils? My 14 month old seems to want to try and use them on his own but is entirely unsuccessful. He obviously eats some things off a spoon or fork but fed by me. Every now and then I can hand him a spoon and he’ll feed himself. He started recently taking an empty spoon, ...

Every time I turn around someone just got a new car, bought a new house, having babies left and right and I’m scratching my head bc are we living in this same economy?? I work a decent job and we have a decent income between my husband and I but I must not be doing something right. Don’t get me wrong, we’re comforta...

What are you doing for snacks now littles have turned 1?

It's relentless, every interaction my husband has with our daughter lately ends in a power battle where he's decided exactly how things are going to go, she disagrees/wants to do things differently, he digs his heels in and is really strict and stern with his words, she's not being listened to in the slightest and f...

How on EARTH are we teaching our babies to spoon feed themselves?! My LO will put an already loaded spoon in his mouth himself maybe once and will kind of dip the spoon into a bowl occasionally if I show him, but honestly he just launches the spoon every time 🙄😩 Between that and constantly chucking his food on…

Day two of my son being in daycare and I’m counting down the hours til people. I think I may have separation anxiety. How long did it take for you to adjust not having your babies with you?

My 8 month old is having teething signs. How long does it usually take for the teeth to break through ?does this look like they are coming out soon ?

My almost one year old attends nursery a few days a week. When I drop him off he’s beside himself the second I step in the door, I guess that’s to be expected because of his age 🤷🏼‍♀️ multiple things have happened that have left us doubting how well he is being looked after, nothing major but slowly chipping away…

I know it’s to early but has anyone started introducing pure or baby rice, just wondering when to start

.crying as I type

Can baby have some of my stir fry? It’s chicken, vegetables and chow mein sauce?? He’s almost 1

Hello, I live in waterbeach and have a 5 month old baby girl. I was wondering what sorts of things you do with your babies to pass the time and help socialise them etc? I’ve been to sing and sign, plan to go more, and also tried little gym in Milton but I think baby is too young to make the most of it. Thanks! ❤️

Is it possible for a baby to start teething at 6 weeks old? My LO has white bits on her gums, and is showing all the signs of teething described on the NHS website: Sore gums Mild temperature around 37.2-37.4 (not all the time) Flushed cheeks Dribbling more Chewing on hands Needing her dummy more Irritable w...

I’m going crazy. My LO turned 1 years old in September and well before that he started playing up at meal times, I kept reading that it’s a phase and he’ll get over it etc. but it’s becoming TOO much now, he spends the whole meal time, esp dinner time, screaming and whining and wanting to be taken out of his high-ch...

yall, i have been with my husband for three years, we just celebrated our one year anniversary (marriage), and we have a four month old daughter together. when we got married, my husband changed his last name (from his dads to mine), and for some reason this set his paternal grandparents off. well we happened to get...
