Nurture life / little spoon

Has anyone tried baby meal delivery services like nurture life finger foods or little spoon biteables? Just curious on the quality, if it’s worth it for the convenience, if one brand is better than the other, etc. I kind of feel guilty giving my 9mo old something like this versus homemade food but I keep getting instagram ads for it and now I’m curious lol

I just started with little spoon. I got 16 meals a couple weeks ago and will get 16 more this week (they deliver every other week), then will pause it for a while. My almost 10 month old is still very much into playing with food so I only give her half of the biteables which means I get 2 meals out of it right now. I did order the veggie chicken nugget plate for my 3 year old who is very picky. He liked the nuggets 🤷🏻‍♀️ I was surprised. I cook/have leftovers majority of the time but it’s nice on days I know we’ll be busy to pull a meal out of the freezer in the morning and know I will have a meal for my 10 month old that I don’t have to prep. I wouldn’t use these consistently but since you can freeze them for a couple months, I think it’s worth that convenience.

I like little spoon

I would also recommend solid starts app as well. It has great suggestions for BLW meals and idea. It also shows you how to prepare the food.

I use the little spoons on days when I’m too tired to prep food.

5 month old activities

Hey everyone my baby is 5 months old and I want to reduce/cut screen time as I have read up on how bad it is what activities did people do to keep their baby entertained. Thank you in advance.

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 😓

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.

Baby Food Maker

What’s everyone’s thoughts on a baby food maker? I’m looking to get Baby Breeza or Grownsy. Thoughts? What does everyone like?

Struggling

My husband works and does so much for me and my baby girl. However I get annoyed every time he hops on a video game he usually plays for 1-2 hrs if she's still awake and has like 3+hrs of free time once she goes to sleep (i co/contact sleep). The last time I was able to have actual free time was last month when I tried to turn some onesies into shirts for baby girl to sleep in- and I wasn't able to finish them and haven't picked them up since lol. The only free time I get is while she's napping right next to me where I can't move an inch or breathe too deeply or she'll wake up, or when I shower. Crafting used to be my outlet and now if I were ever to tell him that I need to craft I don't even know what I would do or where to start I just sit there and stare.... just losing myself and I'm struggling with it. Does anyone else feel the same way? What do I do?
