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

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…..

Saying NO to buying toys etc

5 year old is getting really envious of others. He is obsessed with items that other kids have at school. I am pestered daily to buy these things in a different style when we already have 3 others. I have seen parents just buying stuff their kid likes which I don't necessarily agree with even when i can afford it. How do you deal with it?

Daycare?

Thoughts on daycare?? Truly, I am SCARED to be leaving my kid for daycare. I literally do not trust anyone, not even family (they haven’t given me a reason it’s just trust issues on my end, you never know). He’s turning 3 and I’ve been a sahm the whole time but tbh my man doesn’t make enough for us to move out somewhere more calm . We live in a ‘not so safe’ area in LA and I’m just not used to living here so I just want us to give my son a better life and in order to speed up the process I would have to work.. I do lashes at home and I’d be open to take new clients so I wouldn’t have to look for work but I’m just scared to lose my license 😭

Tablet for kids

Alright don’t need any negative Nancy’s telling me not to get my 2yo a tablet so if that’s what your gunna do please don’t participate in my poll.

We’re about to move cross country 3+ day trip and my 2yo and 9m hate the car I’m talking scream their heads off till they are out of their seats. We’ve already changed car seats and it didn’t help so I’d like to at least have one entertained and sit next to baby and try and distract her or put her to sleep. Our new car has tvs but since they are rear faced my 2yo can’t see it.

Debating getting her a tablet or dvd player right now on long car rides I end up giving her my phone because I get so overwhelmed sitting in between both of them screaming and crying.

And yes I do bring different toys I bring snacks I play songs try to distract her other ways but for the sake of not losing my mind on this move I think this is best.

-A very overwhelmed and anxious to move mama 😓

Separation Anxiety

My baby is nearly 6 months old and has just entered the separation anxiety stage… this evening I was trying to cook dinner whilst my husband was with the baby and he was just crying every time he couldn’t see me, with full blown hysterical sobbing, and as soon as he saw me again he started giggling and smiling. Any tips on how to stop this? And how long might this phase last?
My husband felt pretty disheartened and upset 😢
