Meals

Is anyone else’s LO still only on 2 meals a day? My LO has breakfast and dinner as well as 5-6 breast feeds within 24 hours. Not sure this is sufficient as read lots of posts of babies now being on 3 meals a day but I don’t think mine is ready yet as dinner is already a challenge

Yeah we’re still on 2 meals mostly. Sometimes 3 but not always. Remember before 1, milk is still the main source of nutrition and food is for fun and just getting them used to tastes and textures etc so as long as they’re having plenty of milk you’re good

It isn’t an issue at this age. When my girl hit 9 months I have started to be more regulated with lunch. Food before 1 isn’t just for fun despite what people think. The idea is that by 1 they are on 3 meals and 2 snacks but with milk being the snacks and then you can transition further after 1.
When my girl gets to around 10 months I am going to start introducing breakfast before milk (she currently has 4 bottles a day but always milk first thing) they need to learn that they get full from food instead of milk but there is still plenty of time for that

Was on 2 meals a day but LO just didn’t want his milk so cut it down to just snacks and breakfast milk the main source of nutrition till 12 months

We're on two but that's because brekkie is like 9ish and dinner at 5 so if we're out and about it just doesn't happen! She has good meals though. I do try do a snack like half a banana or something for lunch if anything.

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…..

Saying NO to buying toys etc

5 year old is getting really envious of others. He is obsessed with items that other kids have at school. I am pestered daily to buy these things in a different style when we already have 3 others. I have seen parents just buying stuff their kid likes which I don't necessarily agree with even when i can afford it. How do you deal with it?

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 😓

Daycare?

Thoughts on daycare?? Truly, I am SCARED to be leaving my kid for daycare. I literally do not trust anyone, not even family (they haven’t given me a reason it’s just trust issues on my end, you never know). He’s turning 3 and I’ve been a sahm the whole time but tbh my man doesn’t make enough for us to move out somewhere more calm . We live in a ‘not so safe’ area in LA and I’m just not used to living here so I just want us to give my son a better life and in order to speed up the process I would have to work.. I do lashes at home and I’d be open to take new clients so I wouldn’t have to look for work but I’m just scared to lose my license 😭

Separation Anxiety

My baby is nearly 6 months old and has just entered the separation anxiety stage… this evening I was trying to cook dinner whilst my husband was with the baby and he was just crying every time he couldn’t see me, with full blown hysterical sobbing, and as soon as he saw me again he started giggling and smiling. Any tips on how to stop this? And how long might this phase last?
My husband felt pretty disheartened and upset 😢
