Baby food.

How much gerber baby food (purée)
Does your baby eat? My son is 9 months old and eats 2-3 cans a day. Sometimes less. Including his formula every 3 hrs 4-6oz bottles. Just curious at this age?

None, eveything I eat, she eats, she has breakfast lunch and dinner plus 4- 6oz bottles a day

She has sweet potatoes waffles, eggs, sausage, chicken, beef, rice, beans, bread, avocado, fruits and berries

I moved on from purees in month 8 to mashed and now starting blw. He eats breakfast, lunch and dinner. & he drinks his regular bottles throughout the day.

ahh okay so you just mash everything up? I’ve been giving him a little regular food but not too much. I get scared of him choking.

That’s a good idea to mash everything. I sometimes do too. But get scared of him choking. So I do mostly pureee baby food. What’s blw?

We do babycled weaning and she eats 2-3 meals a day depending on how our day is going and drink 4 - 4-5 oz bottles. I just cut everything up small and she’s able to mash it up no problem, she only has 2 bottom front teeth. Everything I give is soft ish though. She clears almost entire adult servings of a veggie, grain, fruit and protein each meal. I don’t know where she puts it though cause she’s so tiny 😂

I don’t mash the food any more, I cut it up into small bite sized pieces now. It definitely is scary, just remeber that gagging and coughing when eating is a nature reflux. When this happens try to remain calm because if you get scared, they will too, it’s natural because they are just starting to learn to eat. When he is actually choking you WILL know (silent, skin changing color) Have you taken a cpr class for infants? I’d definitely recommend so that you’re more confident if anything were to happen 😊

@Maria I totally understand trust me I was the same way!! You should follow the page solid starts in IG you'll get a better idea of how to give baby food. They also teach you baby led weaning which is introducing your child to solids. And I totally understand the choking part!! I would introduce the new food consistency on the weekends when my partner would be there for the extra support and eventually you'll notice that the baby starts learning on there own what to do. You also just gotta remain calm. You got this!

Thank you so much for the information and advice. I will check that out.

thank you! Yeah I have been cutting his food into tiny pieces and he seems to be doing fine.
There has been times where he eats and he starting coughing and gagging no chocking but it does scare me but I try to remain calm.
I have taken a little cpr class for infants and have a little more knowledge on it just in case. 😊

Is it bad of me to think this or no?

My husband has been abroad for work (1 day and exploring for 1 day) for 2 and a half days which means I’ve had both kids (1 year and 4 year old) for 2 and a half days plus cooking, cleaning, taking them to clubs, bedtimes!
He came home late afternoon and said I’m so tired, I just need to chill. I said can you wash up whilst I sort kids dinner out, he said he’ll do it later which means he won’t do it and I’ll end up doing it so I said no do it now please otherwise I’ll end up doing it and he said well you have been home and I’ve been away so you’ve just been relaxing.
Don’t know what planet he is on but having the kids alone for 2.5 days is not relaxing. I was stressed!

When he was away, I did miss him and wanted him to come back but now he’s back, I want him to go away again😂
Is that bad?

Really bothered by this

A friend posted this and it really bothers me because that is exactly how she parents her kid, and it's rather unfortunate because when our kids hang out together, her kid has a meltdown at least 5x within an hour. We have know them for years and it's only gotten worse. My kids will concede to hers, because they don't want to see their friend crying, but it sucks because they give up so much of their toys and enjoyment to keep the peace. We aren't hanging out as much anymore but it's rather sad to think she doesn't intervene more in her child tantrums and just let's it slide

Is this normal

Let’s say you’re at a softplay with your 2 year old, and some friends & their toddlers.
You buy your 2 year old a kids meal - chicken nuggets, beans, and chips. They’re very happy with it and have almost eaten it all.
They’re sat at the table, fork in hand, consistently eating, and have one chicken nugget left.
Your adult friend comes over from behind you, picks up the last chicken nugget, and eats it.
There was no indication that your child wasn’t going to eat it, and they didn’t ask. They just took it with no warning and ate it right in front of you and your toddler.
How you reacting?

Are these men ok?

I get so sad seeing all the posts on here daily about women dealing with partners who are treating them horribly. I know it seems over represented because those of us with great partners don’t need to write posts asking for help, but I really hope most of us don’t have these kinds of men in our lives!

I tell my husband about these posts I see sometimes and he’s even shocked by some of the things these guys say/do.

Nobody’s perfect, and every relationship takes work. And becoming parents is a stress test unlike any other for sure, but seeing how many women get stuck in these relationships with men who aren’t interested in being better is so so sad😞

But is/was your partner helpful, loving, and supportive during your pregnancy/PP/etc? Was he a wonderful person but changed for the worst after becoming a parent? Has he put effort into becoming the partner you need him to be, even if he struggles?

Pouches

I’m not one of those mums who stand in the kitchen making every meal from scratch and batches of healthy snacks as I simply do not have time with other children and soon back to a full time job, but I do try give my weaning baby part of what we eat at meal times and will throw something healthy together if what we eat isn’t suitable. However, I do have some pouches in for convenience or a last resort. I’ve only used these a few times in the space of two months but she absolutely LOVES them. She will scream for more, get excited when she sees the pouch and will literally eat the whole thing. She’s underweight so this is massive for me seeing her eat so well, but the guilt is getting to me a bit! Anybody else like a little pouch every now and then and can make me feel a little better about giving her them😅

Feeling like I’m failing

Hey guys, I need some advice or some positivity here!
My daughter is 5 months next week and she has her first tooth coming through! Yay! But for the past month or so she has become so wary of family whenever I go to visit! She screams, won’t settle, cries the whole time. I went for my birthday to celebrate and I had to leave because she just would cry looking at anyone :( it’s so hard because she used to be so good with anyone!

Will this change or is this just the way she is? I try to see them as often as I can, and my MIL is looking after her in two weeks overnight and part of a day and I’m petrified of what’s going to happen, that she’s going to scream. My poor MiL 😭. I’m a very calm and collected person and I don’t get worked up when she does react this way… I just feel so sad and down that I can’t be with family and that my poor girl is scared. I give her so many cuddles, milk, toys, going to a quiet room, but she just doesn’t settle 😭

Please someone say this is a phase and there is light at the end of the tunnel ?!!

With the weather getting nicer I just feel we are going to miss out on so many lovely family memories
