This is an outdated practice and a choking risk, hungry babies are advised to just have more milk until 6 months now x

He's growing, I promise all he needs at this age is milk.
Most babies aren't ready to start any kind of solid food until around 6 months - signs of readiness are good head control and being able to sit in a high chair properly (not necessarily sitting unsupported on the floor) and losing the tongue reflex. Interest in food and being "hungry" aren't signs that they actually need food. Occasionally paediatrician will recommend early weaning (usually not before at least 4 months) to help with reflux but I'd never do this unless advised. Giving food before their gut is mature enough can cause lots of problems for the rest of their lives (looks at us all now with IBS!)
Hang in there! Weaning is an exciting stage once they get there 😊

Definitely not. Far too dangerous as it’s a choking hazard. If baby is hungry up their formula intake or put them on comfort milk which is thicker than normal milk.

No, this is dangerous for several reasons. Definitely just increase milk feeds if hungry at this age.

Partner/Husband Support

So many women seem to have the same problem of their partner thinking being a sahm means they do not contribute to the home or kids. So many women, even the ones who work, seem to be carrying the load of running the family with men who although supportive have to be given instructions on what they are to do. It’s quite interesting.
Do your partners do pretty well with helping? Are any of you in a relationship where now u feel u want to end things because you see your partner has a unrealistic expectation of rearing children and maintaining a home? Is it how you thought things would go? Did you and partner overcome this challenge?

MIL coming to our bedroom

Mamas I’d love your thoughts on something. My husband wants more privacy after the baby, but my mother in law is offering a lot of help and coming into our room often to check on me and baby or put the baby in her cot when she falls asleep downstairs and all which I don’t mind as she trying to help?! Husband is not happy at all seeing her coming inside our room saying there should be boundaries as it strictly for us not even family must be allowed inside 
. I totally understand what he’s saying but at the same I’ve just given birth nd I’ve got MIL offering to help or knocking to come in am I supposed to say pls don’t come in?! I feel stuck in the middle, not sure how to move forward with this as she’s still with us 
 pls any advice or suggestion? or do u agree on what am saying ? If I’m wrong fair enough but I feel like I’ve done nothing wrong ? Plus I guess he can speak to his mum? Or? & if anything should the MIL not know this ? if u get what I mean .. also he’s saying when she offered I can say “ let me get my husband” most of the times he’s asleep during the day ? Like okay

How to stop my kid from peeing through his pants?

Hello my son is 3 years old and isn't very interested in using the potty. Sometimes he will but it's rare. How do I get him to stop peeing through his pants? How do I convince him to use the potty? Advice and help is wanted so if anyone could give me advice or help with these questions please be my guest.

Step son eating everything

My step son is 13 and for the last few months he's been raiding the cupboards all the time and eating everything. If we buy cookies or anything sweet it will be gone within a day or two and we just find wrappers in his room.
I know its normal for teenage boys but my partner doesn't say anything to him. This morning I found a box of chocolates that I was given for Mother's Day ripped open in his room with half of them gone, I sent a pic to my partner and his response was "already seen that this morning" (but didn't say anything to SS)

Evil MIL 😞

I just need to vent because it’s upsetting me so much.
I have a 3 year old daughter who is SO obsessed with her grandad, they are two best friends and it’s literally so lovely to see.
However my MIL is insanely jealous of this. She always has a go at grandad for “being too soft” and playful with her.. we don’t see any issue as her parents but I know my MIL does.
My daughter was really poorly last weekend so on Monday, grandad popped by on his way home from work to check up on her. This caused a huge argument because my MIL didn’t want him too.
Then last night we went round for dinner and she forgot her password to something and the hint was “grandchild” - so she made a comment about the other 2 grandchildren and just blanked my daughter .. i was like .. she’s your grandchild too?
Am I just being overly sensitive?
I know my daughter isn’t the favourite, she never has been but it’s starting to get to a point where you can tell that my MIL just doesn’t like her at all and doesn’t like the fact she’s closer to her granddad
