Banana 😂

I waited till 6 months to introduce any food (personal choice) and this morning he tried banana! A bit mushed up and some to hold in the skin, he was not a fan 😂 Sweet potato has been a heave and wipe hand job, broccoli is a hit. I’ve done loads of prep today to store, broccoli potato tots are so nice I ate half 😂 Tomorrow morning we are trying avocado. I seem to have spent the whole day cleaning, I’ve missed a baby class and his banana poo stank! This weaning is hard work, I miss the milk days already, take me back to the nice old just boob times 😂

Mine shudders with anything she eats 😂 it all goes flying everywhere, I spend so much time trying to pick food out of her nostrils.
But just watching them try new things, new flavours every day makes my day better. I’ve got a 4 legged hoover and he loves the extra treats.

ooo watermelon is a good one I’ll have to try that! your little girl is soooo cute! 💕

haha it is funny watching their faces I couldn’t stop laughing 😂 I said today would be ideal to have a dog! 😂

look at him 🥺💙 I’ve seen somewhere you can leave a tiny bit of skin on the end for them to hold, no idea how that works tbh I’m sure I’ll probably just end up doing the same as you 😂 xx

obviously we removed the seeds which is a bit annoying to do as it’s so juicy but she loved it! Pineapple and honeydew melon were also a hit!! I’ve not tried sweet potato or broccoli yet so I’m excited to see how she reacts to that! Hopefully she loves broccoli like your boy ❤️ what a cutie with his little spoon too 🤩 gorgeous eyes 💕

How much are you guys giving each day? I feel really lost with it all at the moment. I’m reading some are just doing like a couple of spoonfuls of porridge for the day alongside milk and then other books say one piece of veg to start with for the day alongside milk! Then online I’m seeing sort like little meals with multiple options. It’s such hard work!

flax seeds on the avocado help with the grip xx

Is it okay to offer a baby chunks of banana/watermelon/avocado? I always pure his food and he LOVES to eat...he will finish a plate of whatever I give him. But Ive never given him a chunk I feel like he'll bite it off and choke

my little boy has bitten off chunks of watermelon and avocado and he’s either gagged or spat them out if they’re too big! If you’re interested in offering him finger food I’d definitely recommend the Solid Starts app as it gives you info on how to prepare the food safely for your babies age! 😊

solids start app is fab for showing how to cut and serve food based on there age!

I tried my little boy with a bit of broccoli the other night. I gave it to him to hold & he gagged just looking at it 🤣. I put it to his mouth and he just instantly cried! My little girl was the same with broccoli. She used to hysterically cry if i put broccoli infront of her 🤣

8 week immunisations

My 8 week old has his first set of injections tomorrow and I’m abit nervous. Does anyone have any advice for after the jabs? I know they get a temp after so have got some calpol to give just before hand. Should I put him to bed in less clothing to make sure he doesn’t get too hot? Any tips from your experience with first set of immunisations? Am I worrying more than I need to? 😅

11 month old constantly standing in cot

Please tell me someone has some advice for this cause wow it’s trying. My almost 11 month old is fully on the move now and his new favourite thing is repeatedly pulling to stand in his cot. The problem is that he wears a sleep sack (mainly so his legs don’t get stuck between the bars tbh lol) so he’s not stable enough to lower himself down. So earlier he fell backwards and hit is head and now we feel like we can’t just leave him to it. Typically it’s his first full day at nursery tomorrow and my first day back at work IT’S LIKE HE KNOWS!!
Please tell me someone has some tips. Currently we are quietly placing him back on his back every time but he just keeps doing it! 🤣🤡

My seven year old

Is out of control. Her dad and I share 50/50 and when she comes to my house she is so mean. And idk what to do

Took 9 week old to a family party where there was loud music and she was next to the speaker for most of the time (about 3 hours). She slept through most of it. Do you think she has hearing loss from this?

Freaking out right now :(

Bedtime

What time are you getting your LOs down for the night now and how are you finding bedtime? We’ve had the sane routine since my daughter was a few weeks old - bath with her older sister and 6.45, followed by a bottle and ideally in bed by 7.30. This worked at first but over the last few weeks she’s been fighting it a lot and, with the exception of a few days last week which were a lot easier, it’s a bit of a battle to get her down and features a lot of screaming and resettling. Not sure if we are putting her down too early or late? Her last nap is usually a cat nap (30-45 mins) and finishes by 6. She’s pretty good at settling herself from a night feed, but seems to be unable to do it at bedtime, even with her dummy.
