Seasoning/adult meals for baby

Baby boy turned 7m a week ago, he's doing very well with his food - 2 meals replaced - lunch and afternoon meal - more on the puree side. For lunch we just cook extra meat/veg when we do roast and don't season them, and that's what I make purees for him from.

My question is - as far as I'm aware seasonings were to be avoided at the start not to upset their stomachs - when are people starting to offer their normal food they cook for themselves, which is obviously seasoned normally? E.g. spag bol, curries, pastas, fish etc. Is there any spices/herbs/other ingredients to avoid, other than salt, honey, cow's milk?

Thanks in advance šŸ™

We let LO have every seasoning other than salt, it's perfectly fine for them. Pepper, paprika, cinnamon etc, no harm at all

We do all seasoning except salt and stock cubes, I just run this through ours at the end. Cows milk is also fine to use in food as long as it’s full fat. I use it all the time for my 7 month old in cooking

Started introducing seasonings here too. I don't think I did them early enough with my now 3 year old and she doesn't like anything spicy or strong flavoured! We've done cinnamon, nutmeg, paprika, zero salt stock cubes, oregano, basil, and a tiny bit of curry sauce.

We have started using seasoning. Mixed herbs, garlic etc just not salt or pepper. We use blue milk quite a bit in his food when making a cheese type sauce. This week he head weatabix with full fat milk 😊

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…..

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 šŸ˜“

Daycare?

Thoughts on daycare?? Truly, I am SCARED to be leaving my kid for daycare. I literally do not trust anyone, not even family (they haven’t given me a reason it’s just trust issues on my end, you never know). He’s turning 3 and I’ve been a sahm the whole time but tbh my man doesn’t make enough for us to move out somewhere more calm . We live in a ā€˜not so safe’ area in LA and I’m just not used to living here so I just want us to give my son a better life and in order to speed up the process I would have to work.. I do lashes at home and I’d be open to take new clients so I wouldn’t have to look for work but I’m just scared to lose my license 😭
