My LO has recently dropped from 210mls of milk to 180 and sometimes doesn’t even finish the afternoon bottle. He loves his food more then milk

same here! I worry cause it’s like somedays only 2 bottles of milk a day! What meals do you do please? Xxx

Thank you hun! What sort of meals do you do please xx

Thank you! Do you do BLW? And what sort of meal ideas do you do please xx

yep we do BLW. Breakfast is usually cereal with a side of fruit or toast with fruit.
Then lunch and tea is either
Sandwiches, scrambled eggs and toast, bolognese, pasta bake, fishfingers, fishcakes, occasionally sausages, lasagne, vegetbale muffins, pancakes, will also crumb up some chicken breast and make them into nuggets

I always serve with either fruit or veg.
Then if it’s a smaller meal I’ll give him yoghurt or those Ella kitchens melty sticks afterwards

@Hannah we do mostly blw too, she usually had ready brekk with fruit, or weetabix for breakfast, lunch tends to be picky food, sandwiches, toast crisps fruit etc and then tea she tends to have what we have, we all had sausage mash and peas tonight x

Thank you so much! Xx

Thank you 🥰🥰🥰

Mine is 9 months old. This is what he has
7am wake up - 7oz
8:30 - breakfast
11am - 6oz
12:30- lunch
3pm- 6oz
5:30pm- dinner
7pm - bedtime bottle 8oz
Xxxxx

believe they say about 400mls a day at 10 months but it all depends on the baby I guess 🤷‍♀️

yeah definitely thank you my little girl won’t even sit still for a bottle anymore it’s a mission to get her to drink them she is just constantly moving around 🤣🙈

NHS job

Anyone work for the NHS and does 12 hour shifts? How do you work around childcare and your partners job?

He has no respect for anything to do with me.

Husband and I decided to separate 3 days ago. I've been sleeping on the floor in the kids room, and we both have to stay in the same apartment for a while. He wont stop pushing little things and I am reaching my limit. Photos in comments

Toddlers

How often are your toddlers asking for food? My oldest who is 3 just finished a whole plate of food and not even 10 minutes later he’s requesting more food. I know he’s going through a growth spurt, but how do you respond to this.

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…..

Saying NO to buying toys etc

5 year old is getting really envious of others. He is obsessed with items that other kids have at school. I am pestered daily to buy these things in a different style when we already have 3 others. I have seen parents just buying stuff their kid likes which I don't necessarily agree with even when i can afford it. How do you deal with it?

Identity crisis?

Am I the only sahm who feels like they have lost their identity??? I don’t make money for my family, when I used to make great money. But I refuse to drop my under a year old baby off with strangers.
My husband works so much. But I have no control over bringing in money and I’m a control freak type of person! I feel l like I’m losing my grip because we are kind of broke, but day care would only eat up my income anyways! So what’s the point. I’m a workaholic and now I’m just a twitching bum.
I wish I could work from home but so far that’s a fake dream. I’m almost 9 months pp, and I just need to know these awful mood swings and depression will end soon! Send wine!
