My husband mentioned he wanted either two sharp kitchen knifes or a sharpening stone for Christmas but I made out It was too expensive to buy and brushed it off. I want to surprise him with it as he deserves a good gift. I'm looking at spending around 100 ish??

I have absolutely no idea what he showed me because it was so quick but I dont want to ask as it would ruin the surprise. Please help a clueless woman out!

the Tcross has 31k on the clock and the Taigo has 16k on the clock. Same prices but im torn between them both.

Anyone have precious experience with either car?? or recommendations

I'm not asking for ways to save it or anything , I'm just really really sad and wanted to have a good vent.

We dont know who has turned off the switch and it was clearly accidental , I'm not looking to blame. my husband keeps apologising but honestly it could have been either of us.

I've had a good cry and I totally understand that there are worse things in the world. Im still blessed, my daughter is thriving and healthy. However, I was so proud of that stash I made for her... I can't help think about all of those mornings washing pumps and waking up early even after terrible nights sleep just to make sure I pumped before she woke.

I'm not an over supplier so it took me ages to get my supply up sometimes pumping 4x a day on top of constant breastfeeding.

It's all ruined. About 80 bags of defrosted milk just sat in the freezer in the garage. I even wrote on one of them "birthday milk" , I know it sounds daft but I really wanted to make it to her 1st birthday with at least one breast milk a day. Ive got to go back to work soon so I don't know if my supply will remain.

sorry for the vent , like I say.. I know there's much worse things going on in the world.

cut a long story short, I have a 7 month old baby. My nephew is a little over two years old.

​

There are no other children so he was always the baby until very recently..

ive worked with kids my whole life so I understand a 2 year old is going to get jealous when a new baby comes along.

​

Anyway. we see them every weekend so he is very aware us so it isnt like a big shocker for him that he's not the only one.

​

Every single week he takes her toys off of her , doesn't share his toys , gets upset if she cuddles her grandma or his mum . Again , I totally get it, hes two.

But, the thing that gets me is that I am the only one who tells him no when he takes things off her. Everyone else lets him just because my daughter is 7 month old. Either that or they give her a new toy or make sure there is two of the same toy rather than make him share.

​

we were at a play centre yesterday and whatever she played with, he came over and snatched or sat on so that she couldn't play with it. When i told him no and took it back off him , you could tell there was a really tense atmosphere between the adults.

​

Also for context, whenever he is playing up in a supermarket he gets bought chocolate or a toy as a bribe and gets given it even if hes not behaved well.

​

Am I overreacting by feeling pissed off about this.

Oh I feel like the worst mum...

today at my 7mo baby sensory class I was too busy sending pictures of her to her dad and she tumbled over from sitting up and whacked her head off the floor sideways. I wasn't quick enough to catch her and everyone went oooof because it made such a thud. She screamed the place down for a good few mins..

I feel awful that I took my eyes off her and should have put my bloody phone down. I'm cringing at how I must have presented too.

Tonight she has a little red mark on her head and I cant stop starting at it.. I feel awful, poor baby.

I guess im just writing this to get it off my chest.

My partner said well you won't do it again will you , which obviously I won't but I cant stop feeling guilty

Spag bol for us on this fine Friday eve

please please tell me what I need to do with my baby. She is 7 month old. it was only last week I was giving out advice because we had a good routine.

This last week , out of nowhere her routine is in bits.

Last night she was put down at 7.30 she woke at 11.30 and then woke from 1.30 until 5.20 , I am absolutley exhausted. I tried everything and by the end of it I had to put her in her bed and she cried herself to sleep. I never wanted this but I had no choice , I checked everything , clean nappies, fed, good temperature. I rocked and rocked. I sat next to her crib singing and stroking her but nothing worked. She was wide awake. I wouldn't say she was even sad to be honest, she was just shouting.

Shes learned different noises so she was pretty much practicing talking for most parts of the night.

I checked the baby monitor and she was just playing in her cot grabbing the sides etc.

She is breastfed which I know doesn't help the situation because she feeds and falls asleep. I don't feed her through the night unless she doesn't settle with a rock and is clearly hungry.

which methods worked for you?

she only has 1.5 hours of sleep a day and the last nap is between 3-5.

TIA

I can't cool down my babies room no matter what I do and its still 27 degrees. praying that it will start cooling now outside.

my baby has just started sleeping through the night with only one wake up. HALLELUJAH because its been rough . she has slept 8-8 for the past three nights but will only nap for 15 min to 1hr a day.

is this a cause for concern that she doesn't nap through the day or is this okay?

baby is now 6 month old.

I have gained 4 stone since before getting pregnant and its really getting to me.

I feel so guilty stopping breastfeeding but I cant go on looking like this and I need to lose weight.

I would carry on breastfeeding if it meant I could still lose at least 2lbs a week but I dont think its possible and I don't want to affect little ones milk intake.

please can somebody tell me this is okay because I feel so guilty about it.

Hello 👋

I need a little advice please . I have my first baby who turns 6 month old this week.

She has shown all signs or readiness and of wanting to eat for weeks now

yesterday she had some puree carrots with breastmilk . We made a small bowls worth and offered her several spoonfuls and she was literally grabbing the spoon wanting more. I got worried because she had like atleast 6 good spoonfuls until she did a little gip and then turned her head so we stopped offering. Im worried with it been her first time ever eating I was sure I had read somewhere that it should only be one or two spoons max....

what do I do? do I just lessen the amount or do I give her what she wants and give her a big feed if that's what she wants? I dont want to hurt her obviously

Last night she was really crampy/gassy which i wondered about.

TIA.
