What brand of baked beans do you give to your little one?

Introducing my little one to baked beans! I’m going to make jacket potato with baked beans and cheese for dinner tomorrow but looked at the Heinz baked beans we usually have and there’s no way I could give her that looking at the salt and sugar content! The ones with reduced salt and sugar have sweeteners so just don’t know which one is best or safe for them? Only going to be having a little bit too and not the whole can!

I buy Tesco’s own brand reduced salt & sugar ones, they will all have preservatives in etc. x

I make a really basic homemade version- literally a tin of chopped tomatoes or passata, some tinned beans (borlotti or cannellini) and some paprika for a bit of flavour, and just let it cook for 15/20mins until it's reduced a bit

We also get the Tesco own reduced salt and sugar. They probably aren’t the best due to other added sweeteners but we don’t give them that often! My little one, LOVES them!

According to Yuka app Waitrose baked beans is one of the best.

They do Heinz reduced salt and sugar

We don’t give them to ours for this reason and have also asked nursery not to give them.

I just use Tesco own brand reduced salt/sugar. She has such a small portion I don’t tend to worry (inc when we only have the normal version in the house) x

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.

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

Weaning

Hello mamas,could I get some advice please with how and what to wean as started this week with my baby but not really what to give and when what time day. Have started with puree vegetables and making them myself and offering it in the evening to my baby but she tends to get irritated and tired and has a few spoonfulls and then gives up and has a meltdown. So I’m questioning myself am I feeding her wrong time of day and what’s best to mix the food with milk or baby rice please.

Do I need to pay anything when my child starts school in September

I'm a new mum and obviously didn't grow up in the uk. I currently pay roughly £640 for nursery fees. I'm wondering if my expenses will reduce when my LO starts school or there'll be other expenses (besides bags, uniform etc) will my expenses be anywhere close to £600 monthly?

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?
