11 month old doesn’t seem to know when she is full

I am really worried about my 11 month old as she doesn’t seem to know when she is full. She loves food and will eat almost anything. But I feel like she eats a lot and I am now worried that there is something wrong.
She has recently jumped from the 9th percentile to the 25th percentile with her weight.
Health visitor doesn’t seem concerned. She is not walking yet. She bum shuffles rather than crawls.
I have been reading about prader Willis syndrome and I am now concerned she may have this. Although she doesn’t have any of ten other symptoms just a big appetite and doesn’t seem to know when she is full. She will just keep going. We have to distract her away from the highchair.
Is anybody else having similar worries x

I don't worry about this but our girl could eat all day long really

Mines gone from 50th to 91st percentile - she’s happy and healthy but doesn’t always have much of an appetite for solids. They’re all different and grow at different rates. If you are concerned as she grows though then obviously speak to the doctor x

At this age you should just keep feeding them until they stop, even if it’s more than you thought they could eat..as long as it’s good nutritious food there is nothing wrong with that. She could be going through a growth spurt or could you be a really goofy baby. It is peaks and troughs so I would feed while she will eat like that! x

My LO is similar… just loves his food and it feels like he just eats all day. He was tiny until weaning and wasn’t even on the bottom line… now he’s almost at 50th percentile. I’ve been relieved he’s put on the weight tbh. He’s also slow to move so I’m sure he’ll lose it a bit when he starts moving. I’ve also heard they get fussier later so I’m just embracing that he loves all food atm!

Maybe looks for signs of being overfull like being sick or upset from bloating. But if she’s happy then I’m sure she’s fine! X

Is it bad of me to think this or no?

My husband has been abroad for work (1 day and exploring for 1 day) for 2 and a half days which means I’ve had both kids (1 year and 4 year old) for 2 and a half days plus cooking, cleaning, taking them to clubs, bedtimes!
He came home late afternoon and said I’m so tired, I just need to chill. I said can you wash up whilst I sort kids dinner out, he said he’ll do it later which means he won’t do it and I’ll end up doing it so I said no do it now please otherwise I’ll end up doing it and he said well you have been home and I’ve been away so you’ve just been relaxing.
Don’t know what planet he is on but having the kids alone for 2.5 days is not relaxing. I was stressed!

When he was away, I did miss him and wanted him to come back but now he’s back, I want him to go away again😂
Is that bad?

Post partum dad

I have a 2 month old. A few weeks ago my husband crashed out because he didn't feel like he was getting to bond with her. I started exclusively breastfeeding around that time and honestly didnt see the big deal. Baby and I left for a few days and when we got back home, everything was fine. He was extremely hands-on. He helped with my meals, her bedtime, bath, stories.....for a few weeks it was great. Then he randomly sounds depressed af. He says our lo is better off without him, he wants to sleep all day , he asks me not to watch tv then tried playing a video game. He refused to reply to me when i asked any follow-up questions. Then he woke up our baby trying to race me to the bathroom first thing in the morning . He's doing a weird mix of crying, trying, and giving up. Im starting to feel like I cant handle him not being able to handle life with baby and just want to be alone. Are there resources for men?

Really bothered by this

A friend posted this and it really bothers me because that is exactly how she parents her kid, and it's rather unfortunate because when our kids hang out together, her kid has a meltdown at least 5x within an hour. We have know them for years and it's only gotten worse. My kids will concede to hers, because they don't want to see their friend crying, but it sucks because they give up so much of their toys and enjoyment to keep the peace. We aren't hanging out as much anymore but it's rather sad to think she doesn't intervene more in her child tantrums and just let's it slide

Shift worker daddies - advice please?

My husband works shifts (6am-6pm days or 6pm-6am nights) so when he’s on shift we either get about an hour or 2 before he goes to work or an hour or 2 when we gets home with him.

I don’t think people who aren’t married/have babies with shift workers fully understand the impact of feeling like a solo parent sometimes.

Does anyone have any advice? I do have parents who can help but I struggle to leave my baby with others as I always feel like they don’t understand the need for tracking wake windows or feeds and our baby will not sleep unless we black out a room or go for a car drive . Everyone seems to think ‘if he’s tired he’ll drop off’ - no he’ll just get overtired and have to then pay for it during his night sleep. So I feel like it’s just easier for me to do it all myself.

When my husbands off work he is great but I do take the mental load of telling him what to do or even reminding him of wake windows etc because he’s not here and forgets routines. He’s also being tested for ADHD currently so there’s that on top of shift work.

Just looking for advice on how to stay sane/keep routines or share loads with shifts workers?

Thank you ❤️

Feeding

My son is coming up to five months and I just started giving him oatmeal and rice cereal. When can you start trying veggies or fruits? I only give him the oatmeal or rice cereal once a day right now which is what the paediatrician had said to do. I’m just curious to when anybody tried anything else with their kids cause my son eats a lot of formula and he’s VERY curious when I eat.
