Should I be concerned that my 7.5 month old sometimes refuses one of her meals?

Normally she eats her breakfast but maybe 2-3 times a week or more she refuses her 2nd meal. Today she isn’t having it no matter how I try.
She’s drinking all her milk though, should I cut a bottle or just leave it and hopefully things change?

*I even try leave a gap between her last bottle and the meal (around 2 hours)

How many bottles is she having?
Solids / purées should make up about 25% of her daily food and the other 75% should be milk :)

I wouldn't worry too much about it. Every baby is different and sometimes they just don't fancy the meal. My LG today didn't touch her lunch and just chucked the plate of food on the floor, so the cat had it instead. Some days she hardly eats any of it and others eats all of it. Their bellies are still tiny. I'm sure in time it will change

she has 5 bottles in a 24 hour period 4 of them are 180ml and 1 is 210ml x

yeah I agree she can be very hit and miss . Yeah I will keep offering as I do each day and hopefully it will get better x

Wdy think of this for a toddler to learn word construction?

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Car seat crying

My 6 month old PANICS the second I put him in a car seat and screams, cries, chokes and recently even projectile vomited on a 14 minute drive. It’s gotten to the point I don’t even bring him out unless it’s to a doctors appointment. I’m a stay at home mom with no family in my state and it has been very isolating. We’ve tried 3 different car seats with no improvement. Has anyone had a baby who hated the car seat? Any advice? This started at 3 months. I will add it does seem worse when he’s tired. He does cry on every trip though. He only contact naps and co sleeps so he reaches for me and will not sleep in the car seat.

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

When did you circumcise your baby?
If you DID NOT or DO NOT have a circumcised son DO NOT comment this post is not for you!

Did you wait a certain amount of time or have it done immediately?
Again respectfully, this is only for the parents who choose to do so.
opinions about how not necessary it is will not be appropriate for this post. Thank you in advance. 🩵
