Can my 1 year old have actimel?

Since my LO has been ill she’s been really fussy with food and has poor appetite so I’m stuck wondering what to feed her. She likes her snacks/finger food and sometimes eats what we eat but it doesn’t fill her up.

I had to Google this, but it says.. it’s not recommended for children under 3 years old, I am not sure why though 🥰

I also hate when my little ones ill because especially when she vomits I don’t give her anything heavy like her usual meals, and then sometimes I’m anxious incase she is hungry. I give dry food such as toast, crackers/biscuits. If she’s vomiting a lot I add a little bit of juice into her water to help give her some electrolytes and rehydrate her. I offer fruits and I know when I’m sick I don’t eat straight and just pick it at. So I leave bowls of stuff readily available to snack on because usually when you are sick just randomly a wave of hunger comes for a short period of time and then you’re back to not wanting to eat anything

I saw somewhere there’s a certain age they can have it from so I just wanted to be certain

yeah I saw it too but it does say kids so I thought maybe it’s allowed

my little one doesn’t have much water so I’m trying to give her squash now and yeah same I don’t force her to eat tbh if she eats even 2 mouthfuls I’m grateful and I just give her snacks and yogurt and fruits but she mostly likes to eat what we eat and that’s what we do we make it so it’s suitable for her taste buds

Post partum dad

I have a 2 month old. A few weeks ago my husband crashed out because he didn't feel like he was getting to bond with her. I started exclusively breastfeeding around that time and honestly didnt see the big deal. Baby and I left for a few days and when we got back home, everything was fine. He was extremely hands-on. He helped with my meals, her bedtime, bath, stories.....for a few weeks it was great. Then he randomly sounds depressed af. He says our lo is better off without him, he wants to sleep all day , he asks me not to watch tv then tried playing a video game. He refused to reply to me when i asked any follow-up questions. Then he woke up our baby trying to race me to the bathroom first thing in the morning . He's doing a weird mix of crying, trying, and giving up. Im starting to feel like I cant handle him not being able to handle life with baby and just want to be alone. Are there resources for men?

My friend is over from another country but I don't feel like leaving the house

One of my old friend's is visiting where I currently live and we agreed to meet up today but I feel so tired and exhausted from everything that's been going on with me. I feel if I meet her I'm going to end up having another breakdown from the exhaustion which I have been having often. I'm just thinking about how I need to rest to be able to deal with my toddler and go back to work on Monday without feeling like I need another weekend. I'm torn on what to do so I need you guys to help me decide

Weaning

Hello mamas,could I get some advice please with how and what to wean as started this week with my baby but not really what to give and when what time day. Have started with puree vegetables and making them myself and offering it in the evening to my baby but she tends to get irritated and tired and has a few spoonfulls and then gives up and has a meltdown. So I’m questioning myself am I feeding her wrong time of day and what’s best to mix the food with milk or baby rice please.

Do I need to pay anything when my child starts school in September

I'm a new mum and obviously didn't grow up in the uk. I currently pay roughly £640 for nursery fees. I'm wondering if my expenses will reduce when my LO starts school or there'll be other expenses (besides bags, uniform etc) will my expenses be anywhere close to £600 monthly?

People telling you your baby is hungry..

I know people don’t always mean it in a bad way and are trying to relate, but when people say my baby is hungry when chewing his hands. I feed him regularly. He eats pretty much every 2 hours. He isn’t hungry, he just loves chewing and exploring his hands. Or they say something about teething, which it is also not, as he isn’t unsettled with it. I have looked into it myself and can be common and neither of those things! He has done it most of the day since 2 months old.
