Ok for baby??

Can baby have these?? Tesco substituted us like usual. He’s nearly 7 months - would it be ok well done and I make sure they aren’t fatty??

9months old - am I unreasonable?

It might sound silly but I'm a bit worry about my little girl development as my mat leave is over and I'm back to work (hybrid-half a week wfh). My husband will be in charge until sep that we'll send her to nursery. He's is a good and caring dad but he can be a bit ocd for a few things like safety or cleaning...

My concern is that because of his fears he doesn’t let our girl have enough floor time or practice pulling herself up. as he worries she might hurt herself. She’s at a stage where she’s learning to pull herself up and loves to bend and reach for things which I believe shows she’s developing very well but my husband gives her very limited time to practice because he thinks nothing is safe.
For example, we have a shelf in her nursery room that’s fastened to the wall and has a guard on the edges. I let her stand there, grab toys, and put them up and down. My husband forbids this. My daughter also likes to touch our wall mirror and gets excited putting her hands and lips on it but he doesn’t allow her. I’ve tried communicating but there’s no way through.

Am I being unreasonable? Any advice?

Toys

Hi all, what toys are we giving our almost 6 month old babies? I fear he is bored of all the ones he has 😂

Alone

I feel so alone. Im 22 (23 tomorrow) weeks pregnant. I’m trying to heal and save my relationship with my bf/bd. He cheated on me with a co worker on a trip about a week or two after we found out I was pregnant. Well, he quit that job but is still friends with two of the people from that job. One of these people is like a best friend (Billy) to him but lives a block or two away from the girl he cheated on me with. I have explained to him how stressed it makes me when he goes to hang out with who we will call Billy. Mainly because I have no confirmation that it’s actually Billy he is hanging out with. It’s been a week of arguing because he (bf) will spend more time with Billy than me. Anytime Billy texts to hang out, I get put on the back burner.
I’ve told him I feel alone, I feel like he doesn’t care. He sometimes will say he understands but still continues to do what stresses me out. I don’t know what to do anymore. I feel like I have nothing but my baby anymore.
Ps. Feeling my daughter kick in my belly while I’m drying tears from my face and trying to control my breathing while knowing she can feel my pain…is the most guilt and shame I’ve felt in a long time

How can 1 person make me feel so small??

Sorry for the long rant but this has been on my mind for days and I don’t have anyone to talk to.

For context, I don’t have much family of my own so my partners family have always been amazing to me (especially his mom). We went to his grandparents house a couple days ago & it’s the first time I’ve seen her since the pregnancy and she gave me a bit of a speech that went something like this: “when I found out u were pregnant I wasn’t happy, but everything happens for a reason. My grandson is a hard working man and I’m not gonna see him struggling whilst you sit at home all day doing nothing. When the babies older I’ll help you with anything because I want the best for you but you need to be doing something with yourself not sitting back claiming benefits. You want ur son to say both of you worked hard not just his dad. I won’t let anybody take advantage of him” more context: I’ve been out of work for a while mainly for mental health reasons & I was homeless.

She gave me a hug afterwards but honestly it did make me feel really small and almost like I’m seen as a scrounger using her grandson for his money (I’m really not that kind of girl I don’t even like receiving birthday presents). My partner didn’t say anything at the time but afterwards he apologised for how she spoke to me.

Fast forward to last night, it’s been on my mind so much and genuinely hurt my feelings very deeply. Idk how but it got brought up again by my partner and I basically said nobody is gonna tell me how I need to be and he basically told me to shut up about his nan and “how are you gonna speak about her when she wants the best for her grandchild” I do agree her hearts in a good place but now I’m just like okay so she can talk to me however she wants even tho I want the best for my son?????

This whole situation has made me feel distant from everyone and it’s taken away from my joys of the baby coming because I just feel like other people will try and run my life. Am I overthinking?? I’m not sure because I do think she’s a really good woman who’s raised 5 kids really well and she’s always been nice to me but that speech was the most degraded I’ve felt in my life

Need encouraging words or advice

Was with my boyfriend for a year and a couple months. We kind of broke up as he said in anger that he doesn't wanna talk to me again. I told him I'll leave him to it then. He isn't over his ex (the heartbreak and the time spent) it's been so long since we've been together now that I just don't get why he's still hurt. And I know he loves her and he's not dishonest about that. Guess I just thought he would move on from it and love me fully but I don't know if he can 😕
