Routine

Just wondering what your routine is and how much milk/food your LOs are having. I am only asking because i worry so much that maybe they’re not eating enough or I’m not trying hard enough to feed them more (although my husband keeps reassuring me they’re eating enough). My almost 13 month old twins routine is this:

6.30/7 wake up
7/7.15 breakfast (normally half a banana, half a toast with avocado or laughing cow cheese, one date, a few grapes)
9 150ml milk
9.30 nap 1
10.30 wake up from nap 1
11 150ml milk
1 lunch (normally one egg, a couple of slices of toast, cut up fruit or avocado and tomatoes)
1.45 nap 2
3/3.15 wake up from nap 2
3.30 snack (another half a banana and other fruit)
5.30 dinner (whatever we are having)
6.30 210ml milk
7 bedtime

Should I be giving them less milk so they have more appetite for solids?

Thank you

If they actually eat this much food I wouldn’t worry at all!! Sounds absolutely fine!

We only do morning and bedtime milk now (8oz offered for each and she usually finishes both) her food intake is then about the same as what you describe I’d say and then hit and miss how much she eats sometimes she’s in a little and often mood sometimes like last night she’ll eat 3 servings of risotto for dinner lol but what you described sounds like more than enough food I’d only maybe adjust milk if they weren’t actually eating anything offered

WIBTAH if I start doing the same thing back to him?

My FIL keeps constantly filming me every single say. He isnt even sneaky about it anymore. He knows I dont like and still does it anyways. He doesnt care. The only time he doesnt is when he sees me filming other stuff for youtube cause he knows that I have an increased chance of catching him with proof if I record him recording me. He also aks me awkward questions about my phone even though he is the one recording me.

Nursery Days Advice

So from Sept my LB will be starting nursery - we have decided he will be going in 3 days a week and then 2 days with me WFH. I can choose the days i work from home, we were going to go with the below
MON - nursery
TUES - home
WED - home
THURS - nursery
FRI - nursery
We are now wondering if he would do better doing consecutive days at nursery ie - mon, tues, wed or wed thurs fri?
Theres also option to do mon wed fri nursery, so alternative days.
Has anyone got any advice re this and how has your little ones took to consecutive/alternate days at nursery!

Thankyou☺️

Safest first foods?

I have really bad PTSD & Anxiety surrounding BLW. My 8mo is ready but I'm not. I don't want to hold her back.
I watched her have CPR twice while she waited for open heart surgery and the trauma of her 4 month fight from birth has me in a chokehold.

I know bigger foods are safer, easily squished between fingers ect

But what about things like tuna mayo? Mashed up flakes?

Salmon? (Am I not right that fish is a possible allergy caution food?)

I know broccoli and Carrot, sweet potatoe ect but is there anything else

What is the majority census of least likely choking food?

She's managed baby melty puffs, baby wafers, baby biscotti all fine...

(I only gave her these things because they say they melt in the mouth)

> I have health visitor coming out in 2 weeks to LITERALLY hold my hand and be present while I make my 8mo her first proper BLW meal of finger foods

> I am booking a baby and child first aid course with st johns ambulance for the 9th May

Boundaries!

Girls iv set a few boundaries for when my little lad arrives and a few family members are not happy at all with them and I can’t help feel nothing but guilt. It will be my 2nd child snd iv limited visits to 30-60min and this is one that one certain member of my family isn’t happy about and wearing perfume iv asked for no strong smelling perfume when they visit my new born and the same family member just isn’t happy at all with them. Am I being unreasonable am I being silly? I feel like im not being respected.

On a serious note.

What do you think about a female co worker being partners with your husband at work from time to time and the day she doesn’t go in for work and your husband is working with another person. She texts YOUR HUSBAND “ tell him to keep my seat warm” how do you perceive that?

Weaning struggles

I know they say food before one is just for fun but my baby is over 7 months now and barely eating any food. He won’t let me spoon feed him and if he does manage to get some food in he spits it out. I know every baby is different but how much are your babies eating at each meal?
