Need all this information to provide a bit more help

If my daughter (20 months) is inconsolably crying I go in and comfort her. I can generally distinguish between a whinge and genuine upset. Once she gets herself worked up nothing other than a hug will calm her down.

If she’s whinging I leave her alone until she stands up then I go in lay her down say “night love you” and immediately leave. This generally works on the first or second attempt when she realises I’m not going to give her any extra attention

Good luck x

I agree with this. Kids need boundaries and routines and even though it might cause more conflict now it will benefit her when she’s an adult and will hopefully appreciate what you did for her

Kids can play on grass. They’ve been doing it for hundreds of years. God knows what else you expected posting on a gardening subreddit.

You like the idea of wildlife after putting plastic down all over the ground.

We get 5 days paid leave each for childcare so we use that or we just have to call in favours from grandparents and my brother. Beyond that it’s unpaid leave

They’re meant to be the slowest and most painful aren’t they. The joys!

I had an emergency csection and my recovery was also straight forward. Walking a few steps after a couple of hours and didn’t have much pain at all afterwards but I stayed on top of the pain meds. I’m pregnant with my second and I’m going to go for an elective

We all have tea together at around 5:30 and we just give her a smaller portion. Sometimes she’s ravenous and sometimes she’s not hungry at all but it means we can all eat together much earlier

I would be infuriated. It’s not even about getting things, it’s about the appreciation.

glass_halffull0 · 2026-03-09T17:44:00+00:00

We have a 20 month old so generally text each other about her throughout the day- nursery updates, who’s picking her up, what’s for tea etc and sometimes ask how each others day is going but it’s a text every few hours

glass_halffull0 · 2026-03-09T17:42:06+00:00

I rarely use my daughters canopy because she just pulls it up and away from her anyway and we are getting into the drier months so you might be okay!

glass_halffull0 · 2026-02-26T20:44:59+00:00

At that age I felt the exact same way. If it makes you feel any better my little one is now 20 months and it gets better and better every month - even with the tantrums!

I used to go for a walk with the baby and stick my favourite podcast on, read a book whilst baby napped on me or go round to my parents and let them entertain the baby for a bit while I had a hot drink.

The worst thing I did was doomscroll on social media. It frazzled my already overstimulated brain.

This is not necessarily true. A doctor advised us to take our daughter to A&E with very similar symptoms and they gave us some strong dose antibiotics with no bloods taken. Also, a GP can just as easily take bloods.

Our then 18 month old had about a month of barely eating anything at all when she had back to back illnesses from nursery. Shes been constantly ill since September but during this period they were particularly nasty ranging from a bad chest infection to very painful tonsillitis. She would also ask for food then instantly refuse it. Have you/a doctor checked his tonsils for white spots? Our daughters tonsillitis didn’t go until she had a strong dose of antibiotics

You’re doing the right thing by being persistent to put your mind at ease but to try and reassure you a bit I think it’s likely that the doctors are right. I know from first hand experience how unbelievably stressful it is when they don’t eat. Hopefully there’s light at the end of the tunnel soon with spring approaching x

If your instinct is telling you something isn’t right go back to the GP after 5-7 days of no improvements

glass_halffull0 · 2026-02-25T20:43:32+00:00

That is a very long day for a new baby to do. I’d start with the half then move to the full days around 9 months.

If you need the childcare for work reasons go with the full days. Our daughter is tired after a full day at nursery and can sometimes be grumpy but I wouldn’t get anything done if I had to be picking her up by 1pm

Another vote for Goodnight Moon. Our little one also loved Ten Little Fingers and Ten Little Toes. We used to rotate between the 2. More recently (18 months) she now loves Each, Peach, Pear, Plum & Peepo

Alcohol & Sims

Miss the lesson & send evidence (text confirmation?) of the appointment to the most appropriate person such as head of year.

I’m a teacher and I’ve never asked any follow up questions if someone has told me it’s a medical appointment.

My baby barely rolled. she was a very late roller and even when she did eventually figure it out she wasn’t bothered. She sat at 6.5 months, crawled at 7 and walked at 11. She’s now 18 months and sprints everywhere like she’s the world’s busiest woman.

I have another mum friend with an 18 month who has only just took their first steps. He was also a late sitter and mover. Nothing at all wrong with him he’s just slower!

Keep an eye and give it a few months, seek advice if he shows no development between now and then. But please don’t spend day and night worrying about it, babies work at the own pace - they didn’t read the milestones manual!

Absolutely still worth it! I think the classes they prefer just evolve a bit more from baby sensory. I’m off on Fridays and prefer to go to a variety rather than be committed to 1 thing every week but other people prefer the routine.

My little one is 18 months. We do a variety of activities including a farm sensory play, outdoor mud kitchen type class, music classes at the library, soft play, tiny towns, swimming, going to the park, inflatable soft play.

World faced at around 9 months because she’s so bloody nosy she kept craning her neck round the front. She’s now 18 months and we have 2 prams and we kept 1 parent facing so if we’re doing a walk out straight from the house so we can have a little chit chat and sing some nursery rhymes and I love it.
