Weaning issues

So before christmas i had finally moved my little girl from purees to chunkier/mashed food. Then she cut 3 teeth in the last 10 days and had a cold, so we went back to purees. now she is better, she is fighting the chunky food again.

I feel like i'm back to square one, meal times just feel like a fight. Anyone had anything similar? Did they get back on track? X

My little one has three teeth coming through and we've been finding she prefers soft food more like grapes, egg muffins and pasta. Introduced them slowly and now she can't get enough. Feel like the grapes even soothe some of the teething pain!

@Vicky well she loves watermelon and will eat baby pasta, but right now that's it. She's even gone off toast which she was loving. It's like she's ok with puree food or finger food but not the in between 😆🥲

I'll just keep persevering, i guess. Grapes are a good idea.

Mine won’t take anything off a spoon anymore - it’s been like 3 weeks. So I have to cook meals that I can feed her with my hands. Not sure when things will change!

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

Combi feeding advice

Has anyone gone from EBF to combi feeding? Currently do one bottle of EBM per night and they one half formula half breast milk mixed in the day. The other times she still feeds on me. Ideally I want to feed all day via bottle and all night with breast. She’s 7 weeks and takes a bottle well, how long should I leave it before adding another bottle to her daily routine?

Self settling

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? I’m up multiple times in the night to cuddle her back to sleep and put the dummy in. I understand she will wake up and want a cuddle etc but any tips on self settling would be appreciated 🥰
