2·29 Oct 2026·on Is it fine to let a 1 year old play in the next room if I can hear her?

The doorway mat is easy to try, our kitchen door is wide enough. I'd rather not add a camera unless I really need one. Thank you both.

1·17 Sept 2026·on Class 2 field trip on a weekday, and he wants me there, not his father

That is reassuring and a little heartbreaking at the same time. Did you go the next time as well? Mine is still a baby, so I am only taking notes for later.

1·7 Jun 2026·on Grandmother has stopped the girls' mangoes because of 'heat'. Is that a thing?

We hear the same at home about mango and heat. When I asked our paediatrician, her view was that a mango or two a day is fine for most children, and a rash around the mouth is often the skin reacting to the juice rather than anything from inside. I'd mention the rash to your own doctor, but I wouldn't stop mangoes altogether on that alone.

1·6 Jun 2026·on Back on the on-call rota in July with a baby who still wakes at night

I doubt my department will protect the next morning for me, but my partner can probably keep it light more easily than I can. Worth a conversation at home tonight.

1·5 Jun 2026·on Back on the on-call rota in July with a baby who still wakes at night

Usually about a week ahead. The trouble is my rota comes a month ahead and the call-outs are random within it, so we can mark 'likely' nights but not real ones. The sleep rule is sensible though. We haven't been doing anything like that, we just both wake up.

2·19 Apr 2026·on Thinking of nursery at Akshara School, Langar Houz, so our daughter can ride to work with me

We live in Attapur and pass Akshara on the way to the hospital. I can't tell you anything about the nursery, our daughter is still a baby. The road outside gets slow from about 8, which may not matter if you're through before then.
