My almost 10 month old only wants to eat fruits 🍉

She started solids/BLW at 5 months and used to love everything including all vegetables and protein! 😩 is this just a phase? I don’t know what to do!! It’s so frustrating cos i take so much time planning and prepping her meals 😔

Do not worry! Keep making it, offering it. She's still so little. I did dlw and my son didn't properly eat a worthy meal/snack till he was 14 months. He played and sucked on his food for ages and likes all food now. It will be fine, keep going! X

Keep offering it and don’t assume what she’ll want in a given day!

This is a great problem to have 😅🙌 she may be cleansing much like we do

My little fruit-eterian would eat nothing but fruit if I let her. Just keep offering other foods too. It might be a phase.

Thanks for the encouragement! I will keep trying to offer other foods 🙏🏼 I know it sounds silly to worry haha but I’m really only concerned because her iron level is slightly low and her pediatrician recommended to give more green leafy vegetables & meat.

hmmm how is she doing with drinks?smoothies? She could get her greens in with fresh pressed juice or the latter.

I also give my kids a scoop of the Sprigs Life super greens (it’s all whole food ingredients and one scoop has all the daily recommended vitamins and minerals) when they need an extra boost. There’s a chocolate one too if she likes it!

she likes smoothies so I always add a handful of spinach/kale whenever I make it. I use green powder in mine but afraid to give it to her because I’m not sure about the ingredients.. I will def look into that brand you use!

Definately a phase in my opinion. My LO goes through different fave foods and then all of a sudden stop wanting to eat it. Just keep doing what your doing mamna

My 10 month son is the exact same! Was a great eater at 6 months. Now at 10 months refuses to eat anything other than fruits.

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?

Postpartum

I’m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. I’m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. I’m trying everything to get him to settle. It’s a load of overwhelming stress. I’m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Night time routine

Heya, my 3 week old daughter is currently exclusively breastfed and I’m not pumping. Can anyone recommend the best way to share the load with my partner? At the moment I’m doing all the feeds/burbs/settling and my partner is sleeping through which obviously isn’t sustainable, I’m trying to work out the best way to get him involved. Any advice very much appreciated!

Rapid cool/ hot shot method

Sorry if this sound stupid but how are we doing the hot shot method?
Are we boiling the kettle and letting it cool a little before adding to hot flask? Then with the cool water do you boil the kettle and leave it to cool right down before putting into another flask?
My baby brain is fried trying to work out the easiest way!

Rant/WWYD

My sister (youngest, 24) has two kids, 4 & 1, and i (oldest, 30) just have my one who’s 6mo old right now, so i ask her for advice or call her to vent about things sometimes. Well im tired of her turning around and telling my other family members that I’m “losing my sh*t.” Literally have not lost my sh*t nor have i ever freaked out to her about my baby, i just call her to talk and tell her what stage my baby is in or talk through how im feeling, but she chooses to tell people that im like a complete nutcase or something which worries me that my family is going to start being judgmental about me as a mother or looking at me funny like I’m some fragile ticking time bomb.

What would you do in this situation? I’m already pretty much decided that I’ll stop telling her anything about my struggles, but I’m almost at the point where i feel like it should be confronted because she, of all people, should understand what I’m going through.
