Easy Meal Ideas for 9 Month Old

During our first few weeks of Baby Led Weaning I feel like I was cooking it up with the meals but it got draining very fast. Ive also fell into a bit of a depression so it's also been difficult to cook for myslef let alone my baby 😭 but we've still been doing oatmeal in the morning, purées and snacks. Does anyone have any quick easy meal ideas? Also how many meals does your baby eat in a day?

I give my almost 9 month old those little baby/toddler granola bars for breakfast. They break apart really easy so they’re messy but easy for them to chew. And a couple bites of whatever I’m eating (waffles, eggs, bacon)

I usually will only give snacks or make a pb&j until dinner and then I let him eat what I’m eating. If it’s tough i just break it up in small enough. Most things he can chew..

Hey girl I have a cooking meal YouTube channel for 6+months baby for food ideas it’s called “babybiteswithCharlene” check it out to give you ideas for food for your little one. You got this mama🙏🏽♥️

Also mama you would know your baby better than anyone. Find a routine you think will best fulfill the tummy your baby still has to rely on the breastfeed milk if you’re doing that or formula. ik for me my daughter usually wakes up at 8am so i would feed her the formula milk then she would go back to bed for her second nap in the morning. Then around 12 or 1pm she would wake up i will give her home cookmeal lunch. Then snack like fruits puree later when she wakes up again from her nap. Then she would play again alittle i would make sure to feed her again her formula just to make sure she is not too hungry before she goes back to bed again. Then when she wakes up again i would either feed her home cook meal for dinner again or she would have her formula milk for the rest of the night. Hope this helps! It’s all about finding balance and knowing your baby. And my daughter is also 9months.

My go to quick easy baby meal is quesadilla. Cheese and avocado or just cheese sometimes. For the days I just don’t have it in me or I didn’t realize LO couldn’t eat the dinner I made (or he just didn’t want it) pan tortilla cheese. He loves it. Peanut butter or avocado on toast also easy and a big favorite. Grits or corn on the cob can be fairly easy and is a big favorite here. Some meals it’s just chew sticks, pouches, and baby “Cheetos” but I try to do that as little as possible.

My partner hates me for not terminating

My partner and person I planned to marry told me they resented me yesterday for my decision. They didn’t come home today and turned on do not disturb to avoid me.

It wasn’t planned and when I found out I wasn’t thrilled but have grown to the idea. They however didn’t want and asked for a termination. I agreed initially but as I processed it decided against it.

Yesterday they sat me down and told me they didn’t want this and felt trapped. I told them I had debated being a single mother because I don’t want them to resent me for this decision and they don’t have to be a part of this if they didn’t want too. They told me they already resent me for this and we kind of left it at that.

Today they didn’t call me to check in or come home. They text me to say have a good evening but nothing else really. This is completely out of character for them and I feel this relationship is pretty doomed now.

The thing is I’m terrified of doing this alone. I know I have some friends and family who could support but the end of the day it will be just me. It’s weird being apart from them but I also think I’m going to have to get used to it. I also think if I terminated our relationship would never be the same regardless and I would grow to resent him.

Has anyone been in a similar situation? What would you do?

Baby bels

Today I was telling my MIL what I had in the cupboards/fridge as she was looking after my 14 month old for the day. I mentioned he had a vegetable pin wheel, various fruits and said there were some mini baby which he enjoys. She suddenly responded ‘baby bels are the worst thing you could possibly give him’ and told me they’re full of salt. They have 0.34 grams of salt in and he doesn’t have one every day and I never add salts to his food (zero salt stock cubes etc) and he didn’t try things like baby bels until 13 months as I was really careful with salt.

I’ve been upset ever since and had mum guilt. Am I being over sensitive or would you be upset by this comment? And does anyone else give their LO mini babybels occasionally or is she right and are they so bad for him? He’s breastfed and doesn’t drink cows milk when offered so I’ve been trying to give him various cheeses and yoghurts to keep his calcium up.

What do you think would be more fun better long term (two boys)

Wants a dna test

Sooo, today I had my anatomy scan(thank god everything went well, especially with baby) but once again dad couldn’t make it.
I told him about it the day before and told him I was leaving my mom’s house at a specific time, either meet me at my house or the hospital, left me on read and never came. He then got the nerve to ask why I didn’t call him. Well one I was up all night finishing my hair by myself, rushing out the house, sleep deprived, and I told you when to come so that’s on you, not me.
Anyways , I told him why and apparently he didn’t like what he heard so now he’s talking about he wants a dna test. I’m gonna give him what asked for and im breaking things off with him. Not because I’m guilty but because I’m tired off always being accused or the identity our baby being a topic every time he doesn’t get his ways.

Idk what to do🤷🏽‍♀️

Hey so I have 2 kids, my son just turned 4 in March and my daughter is 19 months. We live in apartments on the 3rd floor and we just moved in about a month ago. Our downstairs neighbors are constantly banging on the ceiling when my kids are playing and don’t get me wrong i understand kids stomping all day can be annoying so I try to minimize them running or doing things that make stomping noises and I feel bad because they can’t play how they want in there own home and my kids don’t stomp at crazy hours like I’m able to hold them off till like maybe 3 or 4 in the afternoon and go to bed at 9pm but they don’t stomp that whole time. So idk if i should maybe write them a letter explaining I have two little kids or am i wrong when they stomp at all?

Too mad to punish wisely...

My 4 year old son took scissors to our old, heirloom, Ethan Allen couch that belonged to my husband's dearly departed grandmother - highly sentimental and probably the most expensive thing we own! He knows better and lied to me when I discovered the damage. My husband is deployed, naturally, or else I would let him deal with it. I'm shaking with rage, so I'm a deer in headlights trying to figure out what to do about this, but I can't just let him get away with it! I've always struggled with discipline, but this is WAY beyond my scope of parental skill - WTF DO I DO?!?!
