I started my baby on the pacifiers that have fruit inside then soon after she started getting curious. Maybe try with that first?

Yeah my girl doesn’t really care either. Tried avocado today and she was fine but mostly just wanted to lick the spoon. She chugged down about 2 oz of chicken broth though! Loves “chewing” on carrot and celery sticks. Figured I could get her used to the taste. Letting it happen organically :)

What age can they start chewing on carrot? He's almost 7m but no teeth yet

Mine has only enthusiastically eaten spinach puree and tomato puree. (I make them at home with just the fruit/veg and breast milk)
Everything else he has been completely ambivalent too, he doesn’t seem particularly motivated and is content nursing still, so we’re not rushing him yet

Get a grip spoon and dip it in baby yogurt or purée. My baby loves feeding herself I just dip it in her food.

My pediatrician told me to start introducing him to veggie purées… and might I say he loved it. He just hit 6 months today and eats 2 jars full and will direct you with his eyes when he wants a bite and when he wants a drink of milk to wash it down🤣

My baby has zero interest and we try food almost every day. She gags or spits it out. Straight up HATES it lol.

Mine turned 6 months last Saturday, and isn’t ready yet. (We’re waiting till just over 7 months since that’s when his adjusted age will be 6 months, and we follow the wait till 6 months for solids). He still has his tongue thrust reflex and can’t sit independently, so if he’s not doing that, we’ll wait even longer

Is this normal?

Is it just my husband that does this? He is able to work from home via his computer and in the mornings and evenings he is on there doing his job. When he is done for the day he tends to stay in the room and either play video games or watch something. He will occasionally come out and play with the girls for a few minutes and that’s it but when I really need him he says he is busy. My daughters are both 1 year old now and I am just wondering how much involvement should he have with them now?
Idk if this is the norm or not…..

5 month old activities

Hey everyone my baby is 5 months old and I want to reduce/cut screen time as I have read up on how bad it is what activities did people do to keep their baby entertained. Thank you in advance.

Thoughts?

your soon to be brother in law (upon inquiry) told you that only a few kids from the family were attending his wedding because they are over the age cut off..

Tablet for kids

Alright don’t need any negative Nancy’s telling me not to get my 2yo a tablet so if that’s what your gunna do please don’t participate in my poll.

We’re about to move cross country 3+ day trip and my 2yo and 9m hate the car I’m talking scream their heads off till they are out of their seats. We’ve already changed car seats and it didn’t help so I’d like to at least have one entertained and sit next to baby and try and distract her or put her to sleep. Our new car has tvs but since they are rear faced my 2yo can’t see it.

Debating getting her a tablet or dvd player right now on long car rides I end up giving her my phone because I get so overwhelmed sitting in between both of them screaming and crying.

And yes I do bring different toys I bring snacks I play songs try to distract her other ways but for the sake of not losing my mind on this move I think this is best.

-A very overwhelmed and anxious to move mama 😓

My friend is over from another country but I don't feel like leaving the house

One of my old friend's is visiting where I currently live and we agreed to meet up today but I feel so tired and exhausted from everything that's been going on with me. I feel if I meet her I'm going to end up having another breakdown from the exhaustion which I have been having often. I'm just thinking about how I need to rest to be able to deal with my toddler and go back to work on Monday without feeling like I need another weekend. I'm torn on what to do so I need you guys to help me decide
