Eating

Anyone’s 11 month olds still not overly keen on food? My daughter will be 1 in two weeks and she still loves her milk. She has 8oz bottle in morning and evening and a 6oz bottle after lunch. She just doesn’t seem bothered with food, prefers to feed herself now and turns her head when I try to do it.
She was also down to 50th percentile at her 12 month review where as she was 75th when she was last weighed (that was at 12 weeks though) I don’t want to stress too much as I know that it will put her off even more. Health visitor said to drop her lunch bottle and see if that improves her appetite but I’m reluctant when she’s already lost weight. For context she’s extremely stubborn and sensitive 😆
Anyone experienced the same and have any words of wisdom 😅

My son has 3, 6/7 ounce bottles a day, morning, after lunch and bedtime. But, when it comes to food, he only likes fruit puree jars, yoghurts jars, yoghurt pouches. He'll eat blueberries, apricots bits, raspberries & banana but barely anything savoury. I deliberately tried him on savoury purees first, my own blend, different favours, slightly textured mash, fingers foods I've made, and baby meals, but no. The only savoury things he will touch are corn sticks, baby snacks, and toast. So I worry if he'll ever entertain savoury food. Can't live on fruit and yoghurt forever 🤦🏻‍♀️🫠

Male nursery worker

Am I being unreasonable? I feel uncomfortable with a male nursery worker changing my daughter’s nappies. I was told he was “helping out” for a day? But no explanation was given. Can I raise it with the head without being seen as problematic? To be completely honest, I found it unsettling and odd he just appeared out of the blue..

Screen-Free

Any other moms doing no screens? How do you get anything done or deal with the crying?? I feel like I never get a moment for myself or to even do things that need to be done like cleaning or cooking. My baby loves to be held all day but hates carriers. No judgement please! We are trying to do no screens for the first two years. Sometimes I have to just let him cry for a bit while I do something for myself and it feels awful. And let's not even get into the screaming in the car...I don't know if it's true and I feel kinda bad for saying this but I feel like screen-free parents just deal with a lot more crying 😞

Does anyone homeschool toddlers 2-3 years old?

If yes can you share what resources you are using, where you find them etc…

Childminders

After a bit of advice. My son has been at a childminders since September last year. I'm finding her to be increasing unreliable, so far this year she's had 4 days closed and multiple times when I drop him off she informs me I need to collect him early, sometimes 2 hours early.
This is losing me money as I have a job that I can then not go to, as it's too short notice to arrange alternative childcare.
I've not had a childminder before, so I'm unsure if this is the norm?
