If I had the time and money to do homemade I would, so until then jars of Gerber it is😅

I've tried both she don't like anything. Banana, carrots and avocado.... Like girl come on

I just started feeding my baby purées a few days ago and since we’re starting out I’m just giving him jar purées and baby oatmeal but once we get the hang of everything I’d like to make homemade purées! It might actually be easier just making a ton of it and freeze it for the week and then just thaw out

I make mine homemade I feel like it is so much cheaper and makes so much more! I have made carrots, butternut squash, avocados, sweet potatoes, chicken and sweet potatoes, blueberry, strawberries, peaches, mangoes

I’ve been making purées at home ! My baby boy has had carrot, sweet potato, broccoli, cauliflower, green peas , avocado, banana and apple. The only thing he has not liked so far is avocado. Everything else he eats

She either eats beech nut, once upon a farm or happy baby purees, and sometimes serenity for the meat purée luckily she’s not picky and eats literally everything

Homemade I feel is better for baby and it’s convenient since I can get the fruits and veggies on wic card. He’s tried a bunch of different things and so far has not liked the taste of eggs. I did purée it however and try it myself it was pretty gross 😂 I blend oats and mix in fruits with it for breakfast. For dinner I usually do different combinations like carrots with potatoes or sweet potatoes and squash, all homemade and he loves it.

Nursery funding

My child turned 9 months last week. I applied for government funded hours nearly 2 months ago and so well within the required timeframe for the April term, however upon receiving my first invoice without the funding applied and having questioned this, I have now been informed that the stretched funding doesn’t start until 4th May.

Has anyone else been told it won’t start until May?

The government site states it should start from April 1st, and so I intentionally set my nursery start and return to work as the start of April for that reason, knowing that I wouldn’t be able to afford the nursery on my sole income without the funding

Jealous of my husband

I’m so jealous of him and it’s making me resentful. We have a ten week old and I’m jealous that he is at work all day. I’m jealous he can leave for lunch and actually eat an uninterrupted lunch. Take a phone call uninterrupted. Chat with a friend he runs in to uninterrupted. Even go to the bathroom when he wants uninterrupted. He comes home from work when he wants. He’s not on a set schedule. Some days are late some are early. It depends on when he’s done. I’m jealous he can come home at 10pm and shower, eat and go right to bed uninterrupted because I already have the baby asleep. He doesn’t have to worry about anything house wise or baby wise because I’ve done it all. Meanwhile I’m covered in puke and crap and smell like rotten milk. When he is home he is VERY active and helpful. So it’s not that. I’m just jealous his world hasn’t changed and mine has I guess. This isn’t something he’s doing wrong so I’m not sure how to get past this. I wish I could keep him home all day because that’s how helpful he is, but I understand he obv needs to work.

NHS job

Anyone work for the NHS and does 12 hour shifts? How do you work around childcare and your partners job?

Toddlers

How often are your toddlers asking for food? My oldest who is 3 just finished a whole plate of food and not even 10 minutes later he’s requesting more food. I know he’s going through a growth spurt, but how do you respond to this.

He has no respect for anything to do with me.

Husband and I decided to separate 3 days ago. I've been sleeping on the floor in the kids room, and we both have to stay in the same apartment for a while. He wont stop pushing little things and I am reaching my limit. Photos in comments

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…..
