No interest in solids

Anyone else having a hard time getting their baby into solids ?! She has an interest in food since she always wants to grab what’s on my plate but when we try to give her puree she will literally refuse to open her mouth ! She’s 7 months & Im getting worried, should I be ?!

We feed her while we eat dinner
I’ll give her some of my food from my plate, and she’ll just hold onto it
The food we do put in front of her she just plays with

😔😔

I started oat cereal at 5 months and haven't had an issue with some other purées mixed into the oat cereal. However the past 2 or 3 days she has been doing what you are describing with your little one. Rather mine takes a small bite now and raspberries it out all over the place. Or plays with it. She also goes to grab my food while I'm eating as well. Maybe this is normal? I don't know what to do as well.

Going through the same exact thing

My baby ate purees pretty good she all of a sudden stop wanting it I did research and it says she's ready for different texture so I gave her eggs strips (finger foods) and she was just holding it as well I showed I was eating them and try to move her hand to her mouth while holding the food and now she eats it on her own

I tried the eggs today and she just raspberried them out like her purées. I'm about to switch up her purées to different flavors. We will see how she take that.

😔 maybe a change in texture then. It’s so frustrating. I’m sure eventually she’ll get it , but still, I can’t help but worry

My baby did the exact same thing today. She kept flailing her arms, all of her food ended up on her sleeve

Yes us! He plays with it a lot but not much goes into the mouth

Try mixing whatever you bottle feed her with the pure so with my son I mix my breastmilk with oatmeal, peas etc to get him to eat it because I breastfeed now you could do the samething woth formula for a child to transition as long as it tastes the same it shouldn't be to much if a change for them

Following. Currently going through the same. Mine will nibble here and there but not eat eat

Mine never did well with purees or cereal/oatmeal so we went more down the baby led weening route. She does okay but I wish she liked it more

We basically have to make our girl smile and then sneak the spoon in 😂 She’ll gladly put the spoon in her mouth though if she’s the one holding it

3 year old saying teachers hit him at daycare

My son started daycare at 2, he is now 3 and shakes with fear and cries at daycare drop off. He doesn’t want to go and when I ask him why, he says his teacher is mean to him and that she hits him in the back. I put a lot of thought in choosing this daycare. There is one particular teacher that he always says is mean to him. However, there is another teacher that he likes, and he specifically asks for her and is ok to be with her. Could this be true that his teacher hits him? Should I bring it up to the daycare management? Have your children said something similar and it turned out to be true? My husband thinks he is saying this to get out of going to daycare. My son is very attached to me and wants to spend every second of the day with me. He won’t even let his dad do anything for him, it’s always mommy. My heart is breaking. I don’t want to strain our relationship with the daycare, but is it appropriate to bring up my concerns and tell them that my son says he is being hit at daycare? Sorry, it’s a little bit of a rant. Please respond with your thoughts on what you would do.

Advice please

I am in a longterm relationship with a drug addict, he takes K daily to help his anxiety.. apparently.. he doesn’t go over the top and get absolutely out of it, but it is a worry. He owes me £6000, he is in major debt.
We have a 2 year old together and I have been thinking of leaving for a long time, i don’t know why i can’t make the move. The house is in my name, we will not be homeless because he would leave.
I just always hope he would quit, but I just don’t see it happening.
I also worry that his dad will want to see him and be doing drugs or drinking, i know we can have someone there to watch him but i don’t trust his family to watch him as they would let him get away with it 😔
I feel so stuck.

Is it cheating?

Husband hasn't been able to have sex with me or cuddle in almost a year. No hello/goodbye kiss. Basically no contact order ig. Today I find hes been following and frequently visiting a sexual FB page and its purely sex content. There were other searches as well. Atp we are married (2 years and 4 years together) we have two kids 3 and 2. He claimed in the past he was ashamed of jerking off and would stop and blah blah.

Would you allow you child to gift their toys to their best friends?

I haven’t yet had this happen yet but our daughter is a very caring and thoughtful little human and may decide to do this eventually. And I’ve heard of this happening with other children. If your child gave away a toy and then wanted it back(after a long amount of time) how would handle it.
A) Would you get them a new one that looks the same.
B) Explain that when we give people gifts we don’t take them back because that’s rude.
C) Go to the parents and get it back.

AITAH?

My husband’s therapist told him to start doing an exercise with me and tell me one thing every day that he’s gained in the last 3 years.

His first response yesterday was our daughter his first born.

I got upset that this was his first response. His defense was that his kids come first and always. Which okay wasn’t fully expecting him to say me or anything BUT we have 2 other kids and he didn’t say the kids he named her specifically.

I get she’s his first born but he spoils her rotten she’s always getting new stuff and toys and things and the other girls really don’t granted my oldest is always getting in trouble and usually grounded and our youngest is still a baby but I can’t help but feel like she’s his favorite and shows it loudly. She’s even his screen saver just her and him.

Am I wrong to have gotten annoyed/upset? I told him I just didn’t think that was gunna be his answer.

Idk maybe I’m taking it out of proportion 🤷🏻‍♀️
