Weaning

My baby isn’t interested at all!
Baby is 6 months and we have started introducing some food. Purées and BLW.
Baby can sit up, no trust and brings EVERYTHING to mouth. However just won’t touch food at all. We have tried pre loading spoon, BLW and spoon feeding ourselves but baby just pushes away and won’t bring any food to own mouth…. Has anyone got any tips?

if they’re not interested, i think the advice is just wait and try again in a few weeks. technically they can be completely fine on milk until 1 so it’s not anything to worry about! x

Yeah it's totally normal, I tried with my first at 6 months and wasn't really interested.. kept offering and after 2 weeks he seemed to get it then xx

Try home made foods that are warm and porridge. Stick to plain foods to start off with.
At first you feed your baby and make it fun and have lots of praise.
Give your baby some food to hold while your feed them.

My first wasn’t bothered about food at all until she hit about 7/8 months!! And she was a 90 percentile baby. My second is a 2 percentile baby, she’s diddy and yet is so food orientated and has been since I started weaning at 5 months. Honestly I wouldn’t worry! She’ll get there x

Our little one is the exact same, she was not interested in anything… we’ve started doing baby rice so that she at least gets use to the texture first

We’ve just started weaning our LO this week. I found when I approached her with the spoon to start with she wouldn’t take it. I put a little bit on my finger for the first couple of tastes, then I introduced the spoon and she took it. She has taken it ever since unless I introduce a new food. Then I just repeat it with my finger and again after a few goes, she will take the spoon. ☺️ I hope this helps x

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?

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

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?

People telling you your baby is hungry..

I know people don’t always mean it in a bad way and are trying to relate, but when people say my baby is hungry when chewing his hands. I feed him regularly. He eats pretty much every 2 hours. He isn’t hungry, he just loves chewing and exploring his hands. Or they say something about teething, which it is also not, as he isn’t unsettled with it. I have looked into it myself and can be common and neither of those things! He has done it most of the day since 2 months old.
