Does she have a bottle/ milk in the morning? When are you feeding her? As soon as she wakes up or like 30+ minutes later?

If youre still giving milk in the morning in a bottle I'd stop. Otherwise its just about finding something she'll tolerate. Kids go through peaks and troughs with appetite all the time x

Don’t try to force a child to eat if they are not hungry.

If the doctor doesn’t have any concern for nutritional deficiencies, you shouldn’t either.

Sometimes even you and I don’t want to eat. We survive just fine without.

Try non breakfast items. I hate "traditional" breakfast foods but will happily eat tapsilog

My son (16 months) definitely went through this recently. After a couple weeks, it changed back. He didnt lose weight in that stretch and our dr wasnt worried. He's least adventurous in the mornings so he would only have Cheerios some days. But sometimes they just aren't hungry and thats okay!

Staff ratio at nursery

What is the legal requirement of staff to children ratio for a nursery with children aged 2-5 all in the same room?

Recently I was told where I was thinking of sending my son the ratio is 10:1 (children to staff)

I visited a room with 2-3 year olds and the ratio was 5:1 (staff to children)

How is it legal to then just add on another 5 because others are older you still have to care for the 2 year olds. Does the older children suddenly mean they can have 6 2 year olds and 4 4 year olds with 1 key worker?

Advise would be great thanks

Again something I never thought my daughter would like

I gave her one because she kept staring at me eating. She's had 5 since. She's 10.5 months. My 3 yo refused to even eat the rice because it touched a chip.

Is anyone else in this same space?

So I have a 6 month old and in a long distance marriage. My husband was only able to stay for a month after the baby was born before leaving for work. I have been raising my son alone and this has caused a lot of strain between me and my husband. He just doesn’t seem to understand how much effort it’s taking me to raise our baby. I’m so irritated I feel like divorcing him.

Baby's first birthday gift ideas?

This is my second baby, and we have no idea what to get him for his birthday next month.
We still have the big toys my first had, a trike, sandpit ect. We did have a slide and swing but our garden (we moved last year) isn't really suitable so they're at my parent's house instead.
I just don't know what to get him. I'm thinking maybe sensory bits? I need things that aren't going to take up too much space. Any suggestions? Anything your little ones have loved, or anything you wished you'd got them sooner?

Meal ideas

What’s your baby’s favourite meal? I need new ideas

question!?

Mopping wears me out, but I can’t stand dirty floors either. Thinking of getting a robot mop — any recommendations? What should I look for? Or is there a better option?
