Picky eater

My 2 year old is a semi picky eater and I was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to get a picky eater to eat more vegetables.

I usually mix something they like with something they don’t and my 2 year old usually will eat it then. Like I mix yogurt or ketchup with stuff that any adult would not mix that stuff with 😂

My son is picky and I am struggling too. I make him banana pancakes and I mush carrots in it. And then I’ll add spinach to his eggs. That’s the only things I can get away with with sneaking something in. Or eggs with tomatoes.

He won’t eat anything else. Only banana pancakes I can’t sneak other fruit in them or veggies.

Mat pay / financial worries

Looking for some support really. I’ve been on mat leave since March, of which I got 6 months full pay which has now ended. I know so many people don’t have this and I am so grateful for it. I’m now on stat pay which runs out mid December, then the £0 kicks in.

I earn significantly more than my partner, and I just feel like I’m paying for everything for the baby, and I don’t know what to do when my money runs out. I had savings to top up my stat pay, but after that, nothing.

He’s a fantastic partner and dad to our baby, he works 12 hour days plus overtime, yet I still earn more. We’ve stripped our outgoings right back, but an example is it costs him nearly £400 a month on fuel just to get to work. There are no jobs doing what he does closer to home right now, he’s a tradie with a particular skill set. We don’t do anything special, even just the cost of food and essential bills is astronomical 😢

I just feel so overwhelmed with all the financial burden being on me. I do have a job to go back to, but because I moved across the country whilst pregnant I realistically can’t go back there because it’s a 400 mile round commute. So I’m also trying to find a job to start in January but it’s proving so difficult.

Just needed a rant really. Why does having a baby only financially burden the woman. Also being the one that earns the most sucks. 😭

Nursery said son is sick more often than other kids

Hi everyone,

Our son is currently ill with his latest cold and the owner of the nursery told me to maybe think about giving him vitamins as he gets sick more than the other kids do.

We give him vitamin d drops already but would vitamins work? I'm wondering if we need to feed him differently - though he has quite a varied diet I thought... We give him carbs, proteins and veg and full fat milk/ cheese, he likes fruit and veg. Only thing we don't regularly feed is red meat but he has fish and chicken.

Just wondering if anyone has any insights on this as I'm open to ideas!

How do you feed medicine to a toddler

Moms, how do you give medicine to your toddlers? 🥹 My little one spits it out almost immediately, no matter what I try. Force-feeding is absolutely not an option for me. I’d love to know what works for you and your little ones! ❤️

Can't choose between two nurseries!!

Help!! My partner and I can't choose between two nurseries.

We want our son to start nursery in January as working from home is becoming impossible now😅 he will be 16 months by then.

We have visited two and they both have their pros and cons but can't decide especially since nursery A was visited on a Saturday so didn't see staff and children in action.

I know the decision is up to us at the end of the day but if you saw this list below what would you choose?

Can I just say

Some of the petty things women on here vent about their husbands. Like maaaaannn I wish those were the problems me and my husband had. Feel blessed all you got to worry about is his annoying chewing.

Childcare outside of term time

Hi, what do people do during half term and holidays for childcare. My kids are both under 5 and I’m planning to go back to work once they both start nursery. What do you do during school holidays? Babysitters?
