MIRENA IUD ADVICE
For those that had the Mirena IUD due to heavy & painful periods, did you suffer with heavy bleeding & extreme period pain at the start of insertion before the mirena started working? I’m hoping this will all be worth it once it sorts itself out. But the continuous pain and bleeding isn’t nice.
 
11 MONTH OLD
Hi CM’s, I’m after some advice on delayed crawling/moving/walking. My son is 11 months old and still not crawling. He absolutely refuses tummy time and will either scream or roll back on to his back. He will happily sleep on his tummy and pull his knees up under him, but we can’t seem to get him to do it while playing. 
 
3 YEAR OLD
Hi Mums, We’re having a rough time with our nearly 3 year old boy (only child) and I’m desperate for advice and/or reassurance! Over the past 12 months we have fallen into the trap of sitting next to his bed at night time. 
 
IN-LAWS
Hello mummas. If your in-laws raise their voice at your child when you are their guests at their home and snatch special toys off them, how would you react?  
 
SCHOOL REPORT CARDS
Once again we’re being advised they will not include teacher comments, only grades A-E. This is apparently so they can prioritise teaching and learning as they continue to manage workload pressures due to COVID and other illnesses. Surely, with the 2 extra pupil free days each term they could manage 1 or 2 sentences for each child? Especially with smaller class sizes of 16-17 students? I’m curious to hear what other schools are doing with their semester reports.
SPEECH PATHOLOGIST ADVICE
I’m not a mum but need help finding a good local speech pathologist for my 3 year old son.

Hi mums, just wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how to help my 6 year old fall asleep.It isn’t unusual for him to still be awake past 10pm and telling me he isn’t tired.Our routine is to read stories from 8-8.30pm and then I leave him to either read by himself or listen to kids meditation podcasts. He usually stays in his room for an hour and then comes out telling me he isn’t tied - and I just can’t figure out why!He has screen time every second day from about 4-5pm but I don’t think that is impacting his sleep. He is a bit of a worrier (borrowed a book on ship wrecks from the school library when I told him we we going on a cruise!) so that could be it?He normally wakes by himself around 7am which means he is getting 9 hours. google tells me is ok but it just doesn’t seem ok for a 6 year old to be up that late! (Plus I could really use some kid free time - the baby wakes up at 6am 🤦‍♀️)Any advice appreciated ... See MoreSee Less
