Portion size of meals

I am curious as to what people use as a guide for portion size for meals ? I have a 16 month old who is a super hungry baby and I worry about portion sizes. I use the ikea baby bowls and plates and we do have the bowls with the separate sections in.

SAHM question

Hey! My husband and I were recently discussing the possibility of me becoming a SAHM and he expressed a couple things that I wanted to get more insight/opinions on-
1. He’s worried that after he’s been working a demanding job all day, that I’m going to just dump the kids on him because I’m exhausted from taking care of them all day. How do other SAHMs balance the parenting load once your spouse is home from work?
2. He expressed that he is/will be a little jealous that I will get to spend so much time with the kids. Does anyone else have spouses that struggle with the same? How have you handled it?

Am I a bad mum if we don’t go out today?

I have a 3 month old who just wants to be held and breastfed and a nearly 2 year old who has only had 20 minutes sleep.

We usually go out everyday but it’s just us three and I don’t want my toddler to get overtired or overstimulated, my infant won’t be put down and just wants to feed and I’m pretty tired but that’s nothing new 😅

What do you think?

Moving to Scotland

Hi everyone, I’d really appreciate some advice and insight.

My partner and I are planning a big move to Edinburgh, as he’s hoping to open a restaurant there. I genuinely love Scotland the atmosphere, the scenery, and the people always seem so warm and friendly whenever I visit.

However, I do have some concerns. I’m Black British, and I have a daughter who will be starting secondary school around the time we move. Naturally, as a mum, I want to make sure she feels safe, supported, and accepted in her new environment.

I’d really like to hear honest experiences what is it like for Black families living in Edinburgh, especially when it comes to schools? Have you or your children experienced any racism, and how is it generally handled?

Also, my daughter is very passionate about track and field, so I’d love recommendations for secondary schools with strong athletics programs or good sports facilities. Any tips on clubs, teams, or supportive communities for young athletes would be amazing too.

Overall, I’m excited about the move, but I just want to make the best decision for my daughter and ensure she has a positive experience.

Thank you so much in advance 💛

Help

I’ve been feeling a bit emotional lately and just need some reassurance. My son is 20 months old, and whenever we’re at my parents’ house, he always wants my sister and not me. Today, even at home, when he woke up from his nap, he cried out for “aunty” instead of me, which really hurt. It made me start wondering if I’m doing something wrong or if he doesn’t want me anymore. I think it’s hitting me harder because I’m also pregnant with my second baby.

Opinions please!

Would 6 months old be too young to send my baby to my parents for 1 night? I want to go and see Noah Kahan in November but he’s only in London or Manchester which would have to be a night away. But worried 6m might be too young for a night away! What does everyone think?

Ideas for dinner for 15 months old

Hi amazing mums all over the world! Wanted to ask, what do you give your little ones for dinner? My baby is 15 months old now and we mainly eat bread with something on it. Any ideas, what I could give him? (Banana doesnt work, I think it causes him stomach problems at night..)
