Reg milk

Hi mamas!
My big boy just turned 1 yesterday 🥺🥺
I was just wondering how some of you made the switch and introduced your baby into regular milk?? I only drink almond or oat milk because I’m kind of lactose. I do want to give my baby 2% reg milk being that it has all the nutrients babies need, and see how that settles with his stomach for the first few days/weeks.
Just curious to hear other first time mamas stories!

1st birthday fun in the water 🥰

My lil guy just turned one Wednesday and I’ve been slowly transitioning by giving him 1/3 milk w his formula then 1/2 and now I’m at 2/3 milk & 1/3 formula so we’ll be to full milk within the next day or so .. he seems to be doing good so far w it but he also doesn’t like much food cuz of textures for some reason so idk what to do about tht til we see his dr tomorrow .

I like this idea! I think I will try this. Happy belated to your little one 🥳🩵
Ugh that sucks I hope he breaks out of it and you figure out a solution!

no problem! Just try every step for like 2 days or so each is what I’ve been doing tht way it gives enough time to see how he’ll do w more milk than formula . & aww Thnk u! Happy bday to yours as well ! I’m hoping he’ll grow out of this phase soon , but I’m prob gonna give him like toddler formula once a day as well once he’s completely on just milk so I knw he’s getting enough nutrients he needs til he starts eating more of our kinds of foods lol cuz right now he prefers those puréed pouches but when it comes to foods being in solid form he’s EXTREMELY picky 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️

thank you 🥰🥰 and he will grow out of it. It’s all so new to them. Actual food is a whole different ball game 😂

Just here to suggest whole milk instead of 2% since it has a higher fat content. Also, if he has difficulty with cow milk my pediatrician suggested soy or ripple (pea protein) since they are very nutritionally comparative to cow milk. Other "milks" are fine for them to have just that they have barely any fat or protein. Good luck!!

Resentment and placing blame on partner

Firstly, please don’t judge me - I’m aware all my thoughts aren’t rational and I do already feel badly about them

I’m finding myself becoming easily frustrated, annoyed, and placing a lot of blame on my partner for many things. Now I’d get it if he was rubbish but he’s not - he has the baby straight away when he gets home from work, he lets me get ready and shower before he goes to work, he pitches in with the chores and gives me any time I ask for off. He doesn’t go out loads either.

I do a lot of the mental labour - realising we need more of and purchasing clothes, milk, groceries, deciding dinner, cooking, cleaning, thinking about what baby needs, etc.

However I just find myself annoyed and blaming him for so many things I find difficult. I know this isn’t fair, but it’s almost like I’m angry that he’s finding it easy and I’m not. Angry if I’ve just got the baby to sleep and he doesn’t think and closes doors to loudly. Angry when he doesn’t dress baby warm enough, or when he puts him in a car seat with a coat on. When he forgets a blanket or doesn’t wash his hands and plays with him. When hes snoring and I’ve just got the baby to drift off.

We have had many conversations and he has tried to take loads off me but it never feels like enough for me to stop being annoyed with him.

Am I experiencing some sort of post partum mental health issues? I find myself upset and crying a lot. any advice would help.

Nursery lunches?

My daughter is nearly 10 months old and starting nursery next month. I want to send my daughter in with lunches so I know shes eating healthy meals but I'm honestly so lost as to what to put in her little bento lunch box that will keep till lunch time and doesnt need reheating. Ive been doing loads of baby led weaning at home, but I tend to make it fresh or pull stuff from the freezer I've previously made and defrost and reheat.
Could you show me some of the lunches you've been giving your baby? Or have you been been letting the nursery deal with the food?

Parenting 24/7 is harder than going to work full time?

I’m having a debate with my partner as he’s done nothing to help since. Our 14 month old was born, I’ve done it all alone all day and all night. He gets a break when he comes in from work all night I never get a break
He try’s to tell me it’s harder going to work full time 5 days a week than parenting ALONE 24/7?
What do you think

Partner is giving me the silent treatment

So I was struggling with my postpartum anxiety bad yesterday. My partner and I was out for drinks with family. He kept making jokes about treating me a bit shit.
Which no one thought was funny. I am usually quite patient about him using me as his jokes, but yesterday it hurt.

When we got home I told him it made me feel disrespected. Now he is giving me the cold fat shoulder?! What do I do ?

FTM

Hello,
FTM here. At what age do you stop applying cream on nappy area during nappy changes? My 2 year old boy isn’t toilet ready yet but uses both nappy pants/pull ups and regular diapers

I live in a small 2 bedroom flat. How do I keep my home smelling nice?

Especially bedroom considering dirty laundry lives in there too. I do laundry once a week because I don’t use enough to do more frequent.
But I just want my room smelling nice and cosy.

The more natural the method the better ladies 😣
I open windows everyday. I don’t get enough sunlight for plants 😭
