Purées

Being my third baby this is my first time making baby purées and OMG I can’t believe how easy it is (so far) and I can’t believe I have never done this. Anyone else make their own baby food?? I have made green beans, carrots, broccoli, sweet potatoes next is apples then peas. I actually look forward to it 😬😆

Yes! This is also my 3rd go around and I started making little things before doing BLW

honestly I just bought a baby food steamer and use my nutrabullet add some water and some seasoning (lemon and cinnamon I have done so far) and blend it so easy and it makes a lot so you save money. Green beans I used organic frozen ones and it was perfect 👍🏻

Yes it’s so fun! But messy! My recipes;
- banana + spinach (he loved this one)
- sweet potato with a splash of olive oil (also a fav)
- boiled carrots + boiled apple (so so)
- boiled carrots + blueberries (pretty good)
- boiled egg yolk + breast milk (he wasn’t a huge fan, but it’s super healthy for babies)
- skinned peach (I regret this one cause it’s so sweet he loved it too much lol

Next I wanna do broccoli 💚

Once we get the okay for food, we will be making our own as well!!

I have the baby nutribullet it steams and blends and it comes with a small recipe book. I absolutely love it

I make our own too, started with sweet potatoes and green beans so far, it’s our second week! I like it, I look forward to it to! 😁

I also bought the meal prep kit and it has everything pictured in my next message

yeah you blend to the consistency you want. You can also steam meats in it as well

Nursery funding

My child turned 9 months last week. I applied for government funded hours nearly 2 months ago and so well within the required timeframe for the April term, however upon receiving my first invoice without the funding applied and having questioned this, I have now been informed that the stretched funding doesn’t start until 4th May.

Has anyone else been told it won’t start until May?

The government site states it should start from April 1st, and so I intentionally set my nursery start and return to work as the start of April for that reason, knowing that I wouldn’t be able to afford the nursery on my sole income without the funding

NHS job

Anyone work for the NHS and does 12 hour shifts? How do you work around childcare and your partners job?

Toddlers

How often are your toddlers asking for food? My oldest who is 3 just finished a whole plate of food and not even 10 minutes later he’s requesting more food. I know he’s going through a growth spurt, but how do you respond to this.

He has no respect for anything to do with me.

Husband and I decided to separate 3 days ago. I've been sleeping on the floor in the kids room, and we both have to stay in the same apartment for a while. He wont stop pushing little things and I am reaching my limit. Photos in comments

Is this normal?

Is it just my husband that does this? He is able to work from home via his computer and in the mornings and evenings he is on there doing his job. When he is done for the day he tends to stay in the room and either play video games or watch something. He will occasionally come out and play with the girls for a few minutes and that’s it but when I really need him he says he is busy. My daughters are both 1 year old now and I am just wondering how much involvement should he have with them now?
Idk if this is the norm or not…..

Starting BLW

Yesterday our pediatrician said we could start purées or baby lead feeding. My baby is exclusively breast-fed. She’s already tried some foods, but now we can start with one to two meals a day. This is what my doctor recommends, any ideas for what to make with this??
