Alternative milk

Has anyone started their little one on almond milk? And if so how did you do it?

She’s nearly 1 and has had been on Neocate since 5.5 months old and I need wean her off it onto another milk.

We’ve tried soya and she got really upset on it and we’ve got a suspected allergy to oats so we’re waiting for an allergy test to confirm or deny the allergy

We started our little guy on Ripple which is a pea protein milk. He’s always been on the smaller side so a caloric equivalent was important to me and almond milk had the lowest calories.
We just slowly started diluting his milk an oz at a time with the new stuff and gave it a day or two then another oz and so on until it was fully transitioned. He didn’t seem to notice and didn’t have any kind of constipation/reaction to swapping over

We did almond milk and wanted to do it slowly but unfortunately we where not able to find more formula she was on so we had to do faster than wanted. An ounce at a time is best way to do it. We have had more testing down and told to just treat as a lactose problem now(she is 18 months old and they can grow out of it).

Coconut is the next best option baby would be able to tolerate
Almond milk doesn't really have enough fat and isn't nutritional enough

We have a dairy, soya and oat allergy and dietician told us pea milk would be the next best as she said it’s got the most nutritional value. Sadly we are also allergic to peas so was then put onto almond milk! Been on that for a year now!

My friend’s new partner……. I’m genuinely concerned! But i don’t want to say too much where she wont confine in me…..

My friend has met a guy and they’ve been together for approx 6 months now.
Her daughter is 15 months.
He’s now moved in.
Her daughter’s dad is not around, but his dad keeps in touch.
This new partner is doing things such as giving her daughter coffee, hot chocolate, Coca Cola etc when she’s asked him not too.
Now when her grandad calls to check in, he’s storming off out and slamming the doors.
She come to the gym and he messaged her when she left the house saying ‘who are you trying to impress going to the gym dressed like that’ she had a long gym set on!!

Childcare for toddler during labour

For those of you who don't have any family or friends nearby enough to jump in to look after your older child, how did you manage labour and going to hospital to give birth? I'm only 5 weeks pregnant but already stressing about it!

“I can’t read minds”

I’m SO tired of men constantly using “Tell me what you need, I can’t read minds” BS!! As a parent, you just either have the intuition to KNOW or you figure it out! It’s 2:45am right now, and my son (5months) was moving around… So I knew in my mind that we needed a bottle pronto or he will wake up! I told my husband to pass me the formula… INSTEAD he kept saying “what do you need???” THE FORMULA BRO!!! Then he had the audacity to say “what for?” UHM??? because I’M hungry??? wtf?🤦🏾‍♀️😂 Like our child! So i proceeded to say “what else? To make a bottle” to which he replied “okay then, no need for the smart comment” 😐😐 Like our child is about to wake up, either make a fucking bottle or give me the damn formula! Like it’s not mind reading or rocket science, i’m so over it.
