Fairy Non Bio is sponsoring the Mumsnet Talk App and wants to hear about the moments when you’ve seen the baby in your bigger kids. Maybe they’re 10 and still suck their thumb, or your teenagers tantrum like they’re toddlers? Do your kids refuse to cuddle you in front of their friends but need a hug in the night when they’ve had a bad dream? Perhaps they cry when they’re tired or want to cuddle up with their favourite blanket in front of the TV?

Here’s what Fairy Non Bio has to say “Fairy Non Bio is good for anyone who wants a softer, more sensitive wash (that still leaves clothes clean!). Its gentle formula promises to be kind to both your clothes and your skin. Fairy Non Bio believes in the power of softness, and the strength that comes with showing your softer side.”

So, to celebrate the Fairy Non Bio sponsorship of the Mumsnet Talk App, they’d like you share the moments when you’ve seen the baby in your bigger kids. If you avidly check out Mumsnet's talk boards, you should download the app for yourself. It's free, and allows you to be part of the conversation wherever you are!

All those who post below will be entered into a prize draw where one MNer will win a £300 Love2Shop voucher.

Thanks and good luck!

When he's asleep and has kicked off all his blankets, rotated 180 degrees on the bed but is still cuddling his chimpanzee baby. He also doesn't wake up at all when I pick him up to tuck him back in. Also, when he's asleep it's a lot easier to see how little he still is - I still like to go and stand in his room when he's asleep as I love that peaceful sleepy atmosphere with the dim glow from his night light (he's afraid of the dark).

When my 6yo DS climbs on to my lap for a cuddle. His little hand always seeks out a large sticky out mole that I have on my waist line. When I breast fed him as a baby he would always twiddle this mole and it has become something of a comforter for him as he has got older. I don't even think he knows that he is doing it but this time of year his hands are cold and I'd rather he had a more traditional 'blankie' comforter.

My eldest is 6 now and all grown up. She still loves cuddles when she's sleepy so bedtimes are the moments I cherish and remember her being little.

My eldest who is 21 always sulks( just when he was young) when he loses on a game against his sister. Some things never change with age :D

Even my grown up children want a cuddle if they have a bad nightmare.

When DD is really tired she still sometimes sleeps on her back with both arms bent at the elbows up over her head just like she did as a newborn. She's 8 now. Makes me smile whenever I see her like this. I wonder if she'll ever grow out of it.

My 10 and 12 year old are completely adorable just after they've gone to bed. Like naughty toddlers, we can hear them whispering to one another, usually punctuated by proper, full-on belly laughs...

My "big baby" was 23 last month. Her & her lovely boyfriend have just moved into their first flat together. I did try & prewarn them about the costs incurred when you leave home & get your own place, but they were adamant. She rang me up last week in floods of tears telling me how skint they are. For that week, they had £7 to do a weeks food shopping!! Obviously, I took her to aldi to stock up but she was so upset, bless her. So, I have to say, if I were lucky enough to win this voucher, I think it'll be going straight to little miss!!!

My 7 yo always reverts to a toddler when he is poorly and needs cuddles.

My 3 year old still wakes me up and refuses to go back to her bed until I come and sleep with her in her room (my 2 little ones share a King size bed). I have one 21 month and one 3 month old and they both sleep through the night without waking me.

My ten year old son always tries to act really grown up, even to the extent of lowering his tone of voice to make it sound a bit deeper. But every so often he comes to me for a cuddle and strokes my tummy, which is what he used to do as a toddler. I love those more gentle moments as it reminds me just how young he still is.

my teenager always wants a hug and tells me she loves me everyday! She is still into teddies (not that she would tell her friends!)

When they are ill they become extremely clingy and want a cuddle all the time whereas when they're feeling better, they're too busy running around for cuddles!

My 5 year old still loves to curl up on my lap when she feels tired.

A few weeks ago DS (10) arrived next to my bed during the night having had a bad dream. He cuddled in and it was so unusual but nice, although he takes up so much more room in my bed nowadays!

DD1 was 4 when her little sister was born.
For the first weeks eldest dd asked me if she could have her usual milk in a baby bottle. It was a short phase as she is big now you see but it took me back to the time when all she had was formula.

In their early teens, my son and his mates decided they fancied a 'skinhead' hair cut, and chopped off most of each others' hair.

My son returned home, and when he eventually removed his hoodie, and I noticed his new 'skinhead' hair cut, I definitely saw 'the baby' of previous years!

Right now sitting in IKEA they are in the baby / toddler play area (the only ones or I wouldn't allow it as they're 8 and 9). They always want to go to baby play places but would be horrified if I suggested it as an outing!

My oldest used to suck her thumb as a little one, but we managed to get her out of the bad habit. Unless she's ill, in which she will always suck her thumb to get herself to sleep! She is far from a baby, but my sister also does it as a fully grown adult.

Ds1 aged 10 is in that awkward stage, not wanting cuddles or kisses, being a cool kid, being allowed out alone.

But when hes tired, like he was the other day, he still likes to curl up completely on his Grandmas lap. Hes as tall as he now, but for those few moments he could be two again.

My second daughter threw a mega tantrum at the table tonight as she didn't want what we were all having. She is 9 and a half and still acts like a toddler at times. So loud if she cant get her own way. She can also be gorgeous and kind too!
