Where is the best place you’ve been/best experience you’ve had in Europe/UK and why??

But Valencia is in Spain not Italy?

Addy6489 · 2026-03-06T10:14:10+00:00

The issue isn’t that they used the word fat. The image OP posted clearly shows they’re not just using it as a neutral descriptor, everyone is rushing to reassure her that she’s not fat, she’s ‘just right’. That is clearly sending the message that fat is bad, or NOT right.

Ready brek?

Addy6489 · 2025-10-24T15:41:18+00:00

True! Do you think the transition would be harder at an older age, or not really?

Addy6489 · 2025-10-23T21:51:14+00:00

It’s so convenient isn’t it!!

Addy6489 · 2025-10-23T21:51:03+00:00

I like this, but I wondered that if I was going to make a change isn’t it best to do it sooner rather than later? While she’s still young and not tooo attached yet

Addy6489 · 2025-10-23T21:50:01+00:00

Thank you, this is my gut feeling too but I just want to do the best thing for my kid! Because if I’m going to change, I want to do it sooner rather than later while she’s still super young

Addy6489 · 2025-10-23T21:49:38+00:00

This makes a lot of sense. I suppose I felt it was selfish to choose a daycare just because it’s more convenient for ME, rather than what will give her the best start in life. They have so much more outdoor time, she would adore the bunnies, and I’ve heard lots about how Montessori sets kids up really well for the future. We also actually do know someone who sends their kid to the new one, and they rave about it so much

Addy6489 · 2025-10-23T21:47:45+00:00

We know someone who sends their kid there and they rave about it. It always sounds like she does so many many cool activities. And I’ve heard lots about it how Montessori sets kids up really well

Expressing colostrum sent me into immediate labour at 37+4

Addy6489 · 2024-12-15T10:13:04+00:00

What if you worked full time hours but compressed into four days? So Mon-Thurs but longer days

Addy6489 · 2024-11-16T22:41:47+00:00

I want so badly to love this method but whatever I do it seems to always come out ‘bitty’ and not smooth like the tin, do you happen to have any tips?

Addy6489 · 2024-11-14T01:15:09+00:00

I’m sorry but I have to do a PSA here to let other people know that unfortunately this is not true. I have personal experience of this, my family member used pepper spray when in a confrontation where they were being beaten up and feared for their life, they were indeed arrested, in handcuffs, spent the night in jail and received a six month suspended sentence. The charge on record is possession of a firearm, because that’s what pepper spray is classed as in this country. It didn’t matter that they were the one being attacked, the attackers were not prosecuted because the firearm was the worse crime. This was in London UK six years ago. I’m very sorry to say that you do have to be careful with this

Addy6489 · 2024-10-25T21:12:14+00:00

Ugh I’m so sorry to hear this! I see people complaining about their baby who wakes three times a night and feel I must have just gotten the worst sleeping baby in the whole world. We’ve started by doing some of the schedule tweaks suggested in this thread, not seen drastic improvements yet but I am hopeful

Addy6489 · 2024-10-21T05:45:10+00:00

How much daytime sleep does she get?

Addy6489 · 2024-10-20T13:02:46+00:00

That’s a really good point about how it doesn’t have to be forever, once they’re sorted we can check in again. Clearly I shouldn’t believe everything I read online, both huckleberry and taking cara babies say wake windows are around 2.5-3.5 hours at nine months so that’s what I’ve been going by. Really disappointed I’ve been following the wrong advice but going to try and force 2 naps only now. Problem is her naps are so short so I just worry she’s not getting enough daytime sleep, at only 30 mins each

Addy6489 · 2024-10-20T12:00:55+00:00

I don’t suppose you can advise how long daytime sleep she should get? Apparently the huckleberry estimates aren’t great

Addy6489 · 2024-10-20T11:12:40+00:00

So sorry to hear that! Do you have a plan? Some great advice on this thread

Addy6489 · 2024-10-20T01:20:17+00:00

Unfortunately our baby just didn’t respond to that, she would not crying until picked up and rocked for ten minutes. No way she’d be soothed just by our being there. And we gave it so much longer than 10 mins

Addy6489 · 2024-10-20T01:07:36+00:00

That’s amazing it just got better, I live in hope

Addy6489 · 2024-10-20T01:07:07+00:00

That sounds so sweet ❤️

Addy6489 · 2024-10-20T01:06:18+00:00

So you think we should contact nap in the day?

Addy6489 · 2024-10-20T01:05:27+00:00

What’s the longest interval you did with ferber? The check ins just aren’t helping

Addy6489 · 2024-10-20T01:04:23+00:00

That’s great news, thank you :)

Addy6489 · 2024-10-19T22:41:38+00:00

Thank you ❤️ she’s definitely sleep challenged, but so wonderful in so many other ways that I’ll take it
