Why just why lol ๐Ÿ˜†

Seriously we need a word with these food companies keep changing the packaging. So today I did my freezer shop to find my lads safe foods which he asked for and I thought i can't find it. So I went back to where the worker was stocking the freezer and I had to ask if they where the same ones he was yeah I think so. So I grabbed them . Then come tea time I had to tell my lad they where still hes safe food and thankfully he does a sniff test and they are the same. Why do food companies do this.

For a multitude of reasons.

Brand might have gotten a facelift: a way to stay relevant to whatever is trend. Current thatโ€™s bold lettering, bright colors but also a minimalist design.

Think about it, shelves are crowded at the store. Stores might rebrand a specific product to have it stand out from the rest. Example: Everyone is selling the same chocolate ice cream and you need your to physically stand out because at the store samples arenโ€™t generally given. So you select with your eyes.

The products target audience might have shifted. So a new look would only make sense.

If thereโ€™s a new regulation that needs to be strictly followed. Generally they will go ahead and tweak the packaging too.

Cost cutting reasons (money saving for them not you)

Produce itself has changed and the new design would reflect this to their customers (new recipe, size difference, added benefits to the recipe).

These are a few reasons: but Im glad your son was happy that his safe food was still good.

I get all that but it becomes a massive issue when your child refuses to eat their safe foods due to packaging changes especially when they have a every limited safe food. It's very hard to keep explaining that it's still the same inside ๐Ÿ˜• and they no longer trust what their used to.

Update i think we've found an alternative for now. I went to aldi of a whim after some research and they do a box of 2 French fries that come with 2 dips and mcdonalds style cartons/cardboard sleave. And a box of 12 chicken nuggets. I have just fried these in the chip fryer and he's just told me the nuggets are like a local chippy as they only do nuggets like mcdonalds lol ๐Ÿ˜† the chip ๐ŸŸ have gone down a treat ๐Ÿ™‚๐Ÿ™‚. He has even done the logo of mcdonalds.

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
Iโ€™m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesnโ€™t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, donโ€™t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if Iโ€™m wrong but Iโ€™ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA ๐Ÿ™‚

Car seat crying

My 6 month old PANICS the second I put him in a car seat and screams, cries, chokes and recently even projectile vomited on a 14 minute drive. Itโ€™s gotten to the point I donโ€™t even bring him out unless itโ€™s to a doctors appointment. Iโ€™m a stay at home mom with no family in my state and it has been very isolating. Weโ€™ve tried 3 different car seats with no improvement. Has anyone had a baby who hated the car seat? Any advice? This started at 3 months. I will add it does seem worse when heโ€™s tired. He does cry on every trip though. He only contact naps and co sleeps so he reaches for me and will not sleep in the car seat.

Sex post C section

Hi ladies Iโ€™m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. Iโ€™m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. Iโ€™d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.

Postpartum

Iโ€™m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. Iโ€™m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. Iโ€™m trying everything to get him to settle. Itโ€™s a load of overwhelming stress. Iโ€™m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.
