Is your kiddo eating meat?

Our son doesn’t eat a ton of meat. He gets his protein from mainly dairy.

Today after eating a Christmas cookie I noticed his eczema flare which makes me think it’s a gluten thing and he mainly consumes like grilled cheeses, quesadillas, pasta, etc. my guess is because a cookie isn’t baked very well it caused a flare.

Kinda panicking because his protein and carbs is normally wrapped around gluten in some way or atleast paired.

I know our pediatrician would recommend just protein, fat, and fruits and vegs very normal standard stuff. Just one of those things where if he doesn’t consume a ton of meat what do you do?

I let it be. Mine doesn't really eat alot of meat either. He loves cereal, pastas or any fruit. I'm hoping it is a phase and it won't last forever

My 18 month old eats chicken and liver. I find that the liver has a texture that’s easier for her to chew and swallow. I’ll add the baby food beef pure to a bottle as well lol

I’m a vegan and my son is mostly vegetarian. We get plenty of protein outside of meat from legumes, tofu, quinoa and nuts. Unlike me he does also eat dairy. It’s really not necessary for your toddler to eat meat.

We get him to eat meat. Honestly, generally we offer him whatever we are eating

If you want I can send some high protein vegan meals

My kid gets like 95% of his protein from whole milk Greek yogurt and 95% of his iron from Beech Nut Fruti Bites (1 pack has 75% of his daily value, such a godsend). He also eats quite a bit of hummus, cheese, and peanut butter. He will occasionally eat a fish stick or salmon pouch (super weird I know) but won’t touch anything else. He went through a phase that he liked meatballs but that has well passed. Won’t touch chicken nuggets or anything else. I’m hoping he grows out of it but for the time being I think he’s getting what he needs from other sources.

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 😓

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
