Weaning spoons

I never used these with my daughter - but have seen people rave about them. What’s the difference in these than a normal silicone spoon? Thanks!

This helps grip lumpy foods! The food almost gets stuck in the splash shaped hole and baby can pop that in their mouth without it falling off. I’d say it’s a step before properly learning with a spoon x

We have something similar, my daughter much prefers holding these to a normal spoon. We’ve found its really good for self feeding x

Load of tat that will end up in landfill because of our overly consumerist society, they learn pretty quickly how to keep the food on the spoon without having to have cutlery with holes in that captures the food.
Don't waste your money just get some plastic spoons for weaning the silicon ones are good if they don't have teeth.

I did find that the flat ones were helpful for him being able to scoop food himself, but the ones with holes were pointless😂 they weren’t any more practical and were a bitch to clean

I agree tbh they learn eventually. Before spoon teaching stage i was more than happy letting babygirl get in there with her hands lol

I know they learn. My lg didn’t have this and is now 22 months and can eat perfectly with cutlery. I just wanted to know what the reason was why everyone likes them so much even tho they are the same price.

Thanks everyone.

I brought something similar but in honestly they spent more time on the floor and not even close to the mouth and my daughter eats fine now with a soon and fork - these are now used for the dolls to ‘eat’ with🙈

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 😭

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?
