Solids

Hey guys what do you think of this checklist?

The views expressed in community are solely the opinions of participants, and do not reflect those of Peanut.

I think it’s good but you got to be careful with the food presentation. For example, nuts when they’re 1z you can’t offer nuts in its natural presentation (whole) until at least 3-4years old. Dairy not until at least 9 months and milk until 1. Butter until 12m. Yogurt until 9m. Cream cheese until 9m
I think you are better off with making your baby try the foods that you know your family eats, this being said, don’t offer salt or sugar before 1 at least. You can offer one food at a time.

I personally won't be doing all of these, for example I don't even know what Aubergine is (will be looking it up though) and we are holding off on Fruits until after she's had many vegetables and meats.
Like I love liver and things like that, and we are going to use a crock pot and blender and make her food at home (bone broth, meat and veggies, doctors said okay) start with the basic stuff and then move on to incorporating others over time. I don't want her having sweet things until a year old, I've seen too many kids become addicted to sweetness. She will have a large variety of things, and fruit will start being used mixed with other things just to help some of the not-so-great tasting things taste better.
I will also not be feeding her anything I'd not be willing to eat, just as a safe practice.

You said you take a solids class? Where do they offer that

Thank you ladies for your advice ❤️

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.

Is it bad of me to think this or no?

My husband has been abroad for work (1 day and exploring for 1 day) for 2 and a half days which means I’ve had both kids (1 year and 4 year old) for 2 and a half days plus cooking, cleaning, taking them to clubs, bedtimes!
He came home late afternoon and said I’m so tired, I just need to chill. I said can you wash up whilst I sort kids dinner out, he said he’ll do it later which means he won’t do it and I’ll end up doing it so I said no do it now please otherwise I’ll end up doing it and he said well you have been home and I’ve been away so you’ve just been relaxing.
Don’t know what planet he is on but having the kids alone for 2.5 days is not relaxing. I was stressed!

When he was away, I did miss him and wanted him to come back but now he’s back, I want him to go away again😂
Is that bad?

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?
