Ideas and support

Hi all, I have been giving my nearly 7 month old purées for the last few weeks, she’s had her “first tastes” such as carrot, parsnip, sweet potato etc. what should be be making next? Not purées but first sort of meals for her. Can she have toast? How is this served? Also looking for other ideas and recipe suggestions please. Feeling really lost and overwhelmed with it all. Thank you

Check out solid starts too!

Another vote for solid starts. Its definately worth the money.... all day long

If you can think of something you'd like to feed them i can search it so you can see examples xx

Toast should be in strips so it’s easy for baby to hold and you can serve it toppings like nut butter, avocado, houmous etc. Baby can have anything you are having really (apart from honey, added salt/sugar or whole nuts) just make sure it’s it appropriately like long strips or if it’s things like grapes or cherry tomatoes they need to be quartered. Blueberries should be squashed

Definitely backing Solid Starts.

They give you recipes, advise you how to prepare the food, they overlap new foods with ones they’ve already covered, and they introduce your LO to the known food allergens.

Looking at their website, their payment options have changed considerably since we used their program last year. Seems like they’ve switched over to a monthly / annual subscription but thankfully they give a 7 day free trial.

I have quite a few suggestions, are you ok if I send you a DM?

We just gave our LO everything we ate minus the salt, chilli and honey. We prepared it correctly for her and just put it down in front of her. If she didnt touch it I would then try and blend it up to see if she would eat it that way and 9 times out of 10 she would xx

Solid Starts is useful to see how to serve food safely. We went straight in to giving him what we had, just chopped differently and without salt.

hey Andi, yes please il send you message x

Thank you all x

If yall still giving your kids processed food, pls seek help

I understand not everybody can afford healthy ingredients all the time, but I’m seeing so many moms on social media giving they kids artificial cereals, coffee, frozen pancakes, velveetta Mac and cheese, hot Cheetos, kraft, the list goes on. I’m sorry but are yall not capable of cooking from scratch or ?? On top of that, if you still using canola and vegetable oil in 2026 you gotta stop. Am I the only one that notices this ???

Sahm .. the dad role .

Hi!! I’m 2 months pp. and I really would like your opinion on this situation if you have a moment.
So I have always had a job before the baby, and my bd .. not really. But 2 weeks before he was born he scored a really good job and I was able to be a sahm. Which is what I wanted , and I’m unsure if it’s still what I want or if the situation just isn’t right.
At first he was a great help in the hospital as I had an emergency c section. I was in the hospital for about a week and for most of that time I was in bed .
But after that.. I’m lucky if he will watch the baby while I shower .and I mean that seriously.
I am the only one who changes diapers, only one who bathes , feeds or watched him in general. And of course he may be tired after work but it’s like he completely avoids any responsibility. Like he will take a hour coming home and stop by his friends house otw . He will sit down stairs for hours knowing I won’t go down there bc I’m uncomfy . So I have the baby then.
We have been out maybe 2-3 times sense I had him & he refused to push the stroller c change or anything. In fact we got to the mall and said he needed to split up and I had the baby.
I feel he only wants the baby when it’s for … attention? Like to post the baby on social media or if his family is here he will take him .

I just feel like on days he doesn’t have work the next morning he should be helping , and if he is up early before work while I’m still sleeping he should get the baby instead of scrolling on reels for 3 hours .

Honestly he has really ruined my new born phase with my son. Within the first week of us being home I had to full on switch to survival mode I would call it. He would complain if dinner wasn’t done or if the room was a mess , he would complain if the diaper caddy had no diapers which really makes no sense bc he didn’t even changed the diapers . It was just everything.
I’m just wondering if there is anything I could say to get some type of help out of him.
I tried reaching out to his mother but honestly his hole family is oblivious to his behaviour.

Nursery ideas

Guys I need help! This is going to be my daughter’s nursery and I want to make it cute. Help me find an aesthetic look or a good layout to place some furniture/cribs etc!!

AITA?

This isn't a major issue, just wondering if I'm being a bit of an asshole.

• I do shift work, 5 out of 7 days, full-time.
• My partner works from home (mostly, sometimes he goes into the office) M-F, full-time.

Anyway, whenever I have a day off during the week he gets in his feelings when I make myself food (breakfast and lunch) but not him. His reason is he's working, I'm not - Which is fair but I've asked him how many times on a weekend has he gotten up, on his day off and made me breakfast and a lunch to take with me to work? You guessed it, 0.

So basically, just because I'm at home I don't think the responsibility to feed him should automatically fall on me when he manages to feed himself just fine while I'm at work.

Should I respect his wishes??

I’ve been a SAHM for 4 years now and my husband does a great job providing for our family and we never need for anything. With that i still had to sacrifice some wants like shopping when I want getting my hair and nails done regularly so when I can I try to supplement for my wants and savings by selling my craft items at vendor markets and recently I’ve started donating plasma. Which has been consistent income for me. $125 twice a week. Well my husband has expressed that he doesn’t like me donating plasma. He feels like it’s not worth it to put my body through those conditions for $125. He even went out to sell one of his guns today and gave me all the money and told me “I shouldn’t have to donate plasma no more”. That was so sweet but I disagree. I planned on continuing to donate plasma to save for my kids birthdays thats coming up, a trip we have planned and our anniversary. I don’t know what to do. I finally found something that pays something consistently and my husband is against it. What should I do?
