Porridge!

Hi all,
I've started trying my LG with banana porridge this morning! She's been off her bottles a bit over the last couple of days I'm presuming cos of the heat, so this morning I made the porridge with some of the bottle I'd made her, she ate the whole bowl then she drank the rest of the bottle after. That's OK to do isn't it?? 😅 Anyone else starting with any porridge or baby rice this week? X

I started last week giving my little girl tastes of food. So far she's tried banana porridge, peach & pear baby rice & peas, spinach & broccoli. I've done it after a feed & she's still demolished it x

@Sarah Watkins Awww amazing! I've got some pouches coming today to try! Can't wait to see what she likes and doesn't like! 🥰 x

@Sarah Watkins Awwww she's adorable 🥰 How often are you trying them with her? I don't really know when to do it! I've decided to do porridge or baby rice in the mornings and a bit before bed but that's all so far! X

I just do it once a day at the moment as they're only tastes, as opposed to a meal as such x

Hey I've been giving porridge and baby rice the past week I've been offering after her feed so I'm making sure she's getting all her milk instead of food, she didn't like the porridge at first but she does now, I find it goes really thick rather quickly which is annoying

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.
