Feeding baby

Has anyone fed actual solids to a 7 month old? I have been giving my 7 month old pureed since 4 months (once I was told by her pediatrician), and she has been doing fine, but I am terrified to give her anything else besides pureed since I’m afraid she will choke. Her teeth are finally starting to come out so I didn’t feel the need to rush but I just wanted some tips

Yes!! My 7 month almost 8 month old has been eating everything under the sun for solids. It’s definitely overwhelming and I have tons or recipes. Feel free to message me!

Download the solid starts app! Total life saver. It specifies how everything should be cooked and modified at each age and stage, also gives helpful tips and advice for preventing choking and how to handle it.
Honestly my baby eats almost everything we eat, just modified.

I’ve been giving our girl whatever we eat since 6 months old. She’s done great. She’s 8 months now and still no teeth but she ways solid just fine. Their gums are pretty hard. I give her purees when we’re having something spicy or something with honey or something that wouldn’t be easy to feed her. I’ve been using the solid starts app as a guide on how to prepare food for her.

Yes, Following the only solid thing My kid had was French Fries 😂

We do BLW so we've been giving her a baby safe version of whatever it is we're having. She loves having pancakes or waffles with us in the morning and pretty much any fruit. Use the app Solid Starts for info on how to serve specific foods safely.

Never did purée foods. Strictly BLW, so yes, my son has been eating what I eat since 6 months old.

My baby has zero teeth but his gums are really hard, he can chew everything! The only thing we don’t give him is salty stuff and hard crunchy stuff like chips/popcorn/nuts. He eats everything! I’m also really amazed because sometimes he’ll break off a big chunk of something and he just spits it out. It’s a bit scary to watch at first but it’s instinct for them.
I’m also quite confident in CPR/the heimlich because I’ve been a nurse for 8yrs so I think that helps me stay calm. Check out a course if possible!

Yes! My 7 month old has no teeth yet but she gets a little bit of everything that we sit down and eat!

My baby eats crackers ,cookies pancakes hash browns, smiles (like French fries) and more she has 2 bottom teeth but chews with her gums

I have not quite yet! Don’t feel rushed. With every meal we have I give her small bites of whatever I feel is safe, just very little, and anything I offer we make sure it doesn’t have too many spices or salt, but her main source is still purées and milk. You can always mix some table food with her purées as well. Every child is different I’m sure you’ve heard this alot, move to more table food when you feel your baby is ready.

Try hummus, scrambled eggs, air fryer sweet potatoes (just squish before giving to baby), turkey deli meat, pancakes

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. 🩵

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 🙂

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?

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.

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.
