Meal ideas for baby/toddler.

Hi, i’m struggling to come up with breakfast and lunches for my 11 month old. She won’t eat most meats and is allergic to eggs. The meals I have been feeding her don’t seem to fill her up enough which has me worried since we’ll be transitioning to whole milk soon. Please send ideas! 🙏🏻🥲

Ready brek, m&s own wheatabix (healthier than branded) cheerios, beans on toast, roasted sweet potatoes, jacket potatoes, cheese sandwiches, hot cross buns in the current season! M&s also do a baby pasta which i mix broccoli and chicken into w cheese, greek yogurt and berries!

The joe wickes weaning book is good, i used to be so stuck too or kept doing the same foods, so its nice to be inspired! Although it can be a tad extra 🤣
For a snack mix 2 ripe bananas and peanut butter (2 tbsp) with 100g of self raising flour and cook in lil small balls for 8 mins on 180 - can also add berries etc! Found it on ig and mine loves them!

I love banza pasta with a very simple tomato sauce! Also I find that if I put things in ball shape, add a bit of (clean) bbq sauce, coat with a bit of olive oil and air fry my LO is more like to like it- e.g- rice, shredded chicken, and sweet potato in ball form will be eaten while the same
Ingredients just thrown in a bowl won’t 😝

If she doesn’t go to childcare then toast with peanut butter with fruit

Does your partner help?

Interested in knowing other people’s dynamics, I have a 2.5 year old n a 8 month old, I do absolutely everything with the kids and all the housework. My partner very rarely interacts with the kids.

Just trying to work out if this is the ‘norm’ as we’ve had countless discussions about this and nothing changes due to it being ‘my role as a mum’

Grandparents overbuying

Has anyone dealt with a grandparent who buys their child WAY too much stuff? Is there any way to get them to stop without it being the end of the world?
My MIL has good intentions but buys my daughter like 2 tote bags FULL of clothes and toys every month when we see her 🙃 Our house is quite literally overflowing with things and I don’t know how to tell her to stop in a nice way without her taking it as an attack to her as that’s how she shows her love

How would you feel?

Last week we got invited over to a friends house for Easter dinner. I talked to my husband and told him him I’d like to go so that we don’t have cook and clean up. I’m 10 weeks postpartum and really would have liked to just relaxed. Well he insisted that we stay home, invite a couple people over and cook for our daughters first Easter. He’s the chef of our family. I told him I didn’t want to have to clean up after dinner. He promised that i could relax and he would handle everything. Well not only did i have to keep the kids all day so he could cook, while also asking me where everything is and sending me to the store for forgotten ingredients I woke up this morning after he sent me to bed early last night to literally every single dish, food and stuff still out. My husband rushed out for work this morning so here I am having to clean up while he calls me with an attitude complaining bout he’s tired. Im trying to not be upset but I really am. This is the reason i wanted to just go to our friends house instead of hosting. Rant over!

Conceal carry women: if you were taking your kids to a nature hike for a walk with another adult, would you ask if they’re comfortable with you bringing your gun or would you just bring it without saying anything?

For a little more info: the place we’re talking about going is the nature walking area because the paths are paved so I can easily push the stroller but it’s also kinda spooky walking there as a women especially with three young children. I really don’t thing it’s unsafe (I’ve been there before by myself before having kids) but you never know and I’d rather be safe than sorry. I haven’t seen this friend for years and I don’t really know if she’s comfortable with me having a gun but I also wanna feel safe walking with my kids 🤷‍♀️

Owlet… Yay or Nay?

My fiancé and I have been debating since before our little one was born to get an Owlet. I keep seeing these horror stories about SIDS and mommas losing their little ones. They break my heart but simultaneously skyrockets my anxiety.

How does everyone feel about the Owlet? Are the features worth the cost? How long did you used the Owlet?

Childminding business

So I'm thinking of starting up my own Childminding business and I'd like to know what people's thoughts are...

Would you send your LO to a childminder that lives in a flat?
