11 month old still eating only purées

Is it weird/bad that my 11 month old is still eating only purées? She gags and sometimes spits up after I give her shredded meat/ veggie mixes

Check to see if she has a lip or tongue tie. Other textures also helps with developing tongue and jaw strength for speech I think

Go to a provider that is a part of the lip and tongue tie association. Some pediatricians don’t know as much about it

Not sure if this helps but shredded meat was too much for my baby at first. You could try ground meat instead. Ground beef or ground chicken etc. The meat puree blends she absolute hated and made her gag out of not liking the taste. We do a mix of solids and purées. (10 months old). The first solids we did were teething wafers, they melt easily. These might be a good place to start if you want to work on chewing since they dissolve easily.

I was told it’s totally normal they are still getting their nutrients and it’s okay if they are still in purées my boy is 10 months and still prefers purées. But totally talk to your kids docs if you have concerns and questions about it

Gagging is normal and how they learn. I would just keep offering a variety of foods and textures

Yes, agreed. Start serving chunkier foods that are mashed, such as avocado, mashed beans, etc. don’t
Have a big reaction when the baby gags. It is normal for them to gag.

I found fish way easier than meat for my 10 mo

Yes it's bad that's she's still on purees. There is some evidence that kids late to true solid food develop food texture issues.
Gagging is fine, that's how they learn and map their mouth. Choking and vomiting, not good.
Start back at basics- banana, avocado, baked sweet potato, scrambled eggs. Shredded meats are difficult because they require a harder chew. Stick with food that you can squish with you fingers until she gets a good grasp on those.

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?

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 😭

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 😓

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 😢
