Favourite snacks

What are your toddlers regular snacks?

Between her meals mine usually has,
Boiled egg
Half a banana
Kiwi
Apple (berries with all meals)
Rice cake
Cheerios

Sometimes I bake banana bread or banana pancakes.

Does this sound like a regular amount of snacks?
She’s been having sooo much breast milk I’m starting to think she needs more food. I always give her more food at mealtimes if she cleans her plate, and usually she will ask for more if she does want it but just checking how much everyone else’s LO’s eat

I usually give banana, grapes, custard, yogurt, cheese ball .

We tend to do fruit in the morning so tangerines, Kiwi, melon, grapes or something like that. We found that anything bigger made him less likely to eat lunch. Then in afternoon he tends to prefer a bigger snack as lunch is early and dinner is late. So for that we do banana bread, muffin, cheese and crackers, usually with a babybel or a yoghurt. We offer berries with breakfast and a banana with dinner as he's obsessed with them

Fruit, cheese and olives, tomatoes, organix bars, yogurt, homemade ice pops, energy balls that I make, breadsticks and houmous/cream cheese, dried apricots, sometimes I will give her crisps like veggie sticks or skips

I make flapjacks and oat biscuits and muffins and things and keep them in the freezer. Generally serve with some kind of fruit or salad.
He also loves the flapjack bars and various other baby snacks we keep a stack of for when out and about.
Apple with peanut butter to dip is another favourite. And Greek Yoghurt with fruit. And homemade ice lollies (made watermelon strawberry and coconut water ones recently, big hit)

I bake oat meal biscuits with peanut butter and banana, I make banana cake and apple & banana pie. I use banana a lot as it's sweet, and I dont add any sugar in his cakes. I also give him toast with butter and honey, yogurt, fruits, veggies (he likes cucumber and pepper) with hummus or cheese cream, biscuits and as a mini snack (between snack and main meal lol), the holly Pufsh (puffs, any puffs). For ice cream..ish I blend frozen fruits (i tend to freeze anything that is kind of leftover, like soft fruits that won't last another day, bananas halfs, etc) and milk, and its delicious!

I tend to just throw in whatever we have - always use oats but then could add honey, peanut butter, vanilla extract, dates, chopped nuts, chia seeds.....there's loads of recipes online!

Nursery funding

My child turned 9 months last week. I applied for government funded hours nearly 2 months ago and so well within the required timeframe for the April term, however upon receiving my first invoice without the funding applied and having questioned this, I have now been informed that the stretched funding doesn’t start until 4th May.

Has anyone else been told it won’t start until May?

The government site states it should start from April 1st, and so I intentionally set my nursery start and return to work as the start of April for that reason, knowing that I wouldn’t be able to afford the nursery on my sole income without the funding

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.

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

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…..

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!
