CMPA and Eczema🥲
My 6 mo has milk allergy( tests came out negative but he still gets hives when given regular formula) so he is on hypoallergenic formula. He eats steamed apples and carrots well but vomited out banana and had loose stools and multiple vomitings every 10 mins. I am really confused with BLW here. How do I start here and what foods should I give him? I am scared to give him any basic food too because of the way he reacted to banana. Has anybody else been through this? I’d love some help here fellow mamas. Any advice and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Our twins have cmpa. We bay led weaning as we did with our non allergy child but were more cautious to make sure that we only had one new high risk allergen per day for 3 days before adding in another. We kept a food diary to track if any other reactions happened
A negative test just means baby likely has non-ige mediated cmpa. Wean onto food as normal making sure to wait 3 days between new allergens. Banana could be an allergy how is he with latex? (Balloons, rubber gloves etc) they're linked allergies. I'd introduce oat first as then you can use oat milk in food and porridge opens up as a breakfast choice. X
If you don’t have anaphylactic reactions in the family and reactions so far have been presenting as non IGE you generally have a low risk of baby having anaphylactic reactions to anything.
Eczema alone shouldn’t be a reason to stop a food as eczema can react to lots of environmental factors and often carries a genetic link that while it can be exacerbated by certain foods, the gene is the cause not the food

Sour patch kid
How are we dealing with our Sour Patch Sons? My 2 yr old knows how to push all my buttons and I am getting to my wits end. He is tall for his age so he is able to get into everything. A lot of things in our house is locked up but I feel i shouldn't have to lock every cabinet, drawer, closest. I have a 2 month old and the toddler likes to get into things while I am feeding. I almost feel like I need to lock the toddler up. Also the toddler is acting out and when he does he does something bad he then acts all cute and kind. Or he knows he does something bad and just laughs when i get upset. He also tells me he is scared when he doesn't want to do something like go to bed, to the potty, eat dinner. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Job change now I have 2 children. Currently a childrens social worker
I am a children's social worker so 36 hours full time 9-5. Background has always been kids ( sen worker in schools, teaching assistant, higher teacher assistant in an sen school, family support worker in social care SEN and now my current role as a children's social worker.
However now I have 2 kids 1 2.5yrs and a 2 week old. I want to just utilise the 30 hours funded childcare.
Unsure what jobs to go into. I have a lots of suggestions from AI but now overwhelmed because there's so many options.
Can anyone think of good roles to support my my kids doing term time hours at a nursery.
Somethings I was thinking of maternity support worker- 8pm-8am I was in hospital for a few days so got talking to staff who are parents and do this job because it allows them to do pick up and drop off without issues. I was thinking a school social worker ( hard to get) discharge social worker at a hospital ( never see these advertised though) im thinking something like a hospital because its 24 hours so can be flexible with shift pattern i think! Anyway any suggestions are welcome.

PEPPA PIG WORLD
Has anyone been to Peppa Pig World / poultons park on their own with a toddler before? I want to take my 2 year old (25 months) but his Dad doesn't have any annual leave left, and it seems quite expensive to ask grandparents to come along.
Also, would you take a buggy? I fear having to chase after my toddler with a buggy in tow would be a pain, so thinking not?

Am I lazy? Am I a shitty wife?
Am I being lazy? I’m 23 weeks pregnant… cooking isn’t my favorite thing anymore I’m always just wanting to be in bed. I work from 4:30pm to 12:30am and get home after 1am. I end up going to sleep around 2-3am after showering and trying to force myself to sleep.
My husband has been complaining I rather buy food out than cook when I truly have no energy to cook. He said plenty of woman get up to make sure their husband has a meal to come home too. But I just don’t have the energy!
I used to wake up in the mornings (before this job) and make him breakfast and have lunch ready for him packed up at 5:30am for him to take to work. I stopped. Again just trying to get rest in. Idk how to find the energy or if I’m just making this up in my head. Definitely starting to make me feel like a shitty wife.
Also I did complain about dishes. Sunday night I cleaned the whole house, did All laundry folded, and cleaned the kitchen but left dishes in the sink thinking he would see how I did everything I just needed him to wash those dishes. He claimed I cooked made a mess and didn’t wash the dishes I used… you would think if I cooked he would meet me half way instead I’m being blamed.
How do yall do it?

I am REALLY struggling 😭
My 29 month old has never been very adventurous with her food and wouldn’t often try new stuff although she eats whatever at nursery. She had sickness 2-3 weeks ago and ever since, even her safe food she won’t touch. She’s asks for pizza and eats only the cheese. Her eating is really starting to upset me and stress me out. Every night I cook a meal and she cries at it and pushes it away.
I don’t know what more I can do
