Weaning

Is it normal for first taste of food to be unsuccessful? Baby turns 6 months today so we've tried him on some Broccoli puree but he didn't seem very interested and didn't seem to like the taste! He even started crying! Do we just try another food tomorrow?

Yes, very normal. My son was the same and we tried him on broccoli first too. He had a few bites, then closed his mouth. The second time we tried he had one mouthful and then started crying. He’s now a very good eater with finger foods and purées and will happily sit and eat a whole broccoli floret. It’s a new experience for them, different tastes and textures from milk, they just need to get used to it. It didn’t take long for my son to adjust 🙂

It's all new to him he is used to sweet milk so all the new tastes will be something different. They will get used to it 🙂

Very normal!! Id also suggest sticking to unsweet veggies for the first few weeks, they will definitely look like they arent enjoying it but it gets them used to un sweet things!

Thanks so much everyone!!!

I’m 32 and I think I’d still turn my nose up to broccoli being shoved in my mouth 😂
I’d go for carrot as it’s sweeter but still healthy 😉 xx

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

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?

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?
