Thank you!! I forgot to specify dairy free but I’ll definitely look at dairy free alternatives that are similar!

Salmon and sweet potato , Greek yogurt and fruit puree of choice , chia seed pudding with mashed in berries , avocado and cottage cheese and egg mashed . Avocado and banana , blw oat bars , banana pancake , chicken and vegetable , lentils , egg spinach tomato omelette , porridge mixed with fruit , crab and potato ,

my boy is abt to be 8 months but these will work too!!

banana pancakes (cut into strips )
- 1 banana
-1 egg
- 2 tbsp of flour
-dash of cinnamon

chicken nuggets
-Bake @ 350 for 20mins
- 1 cup ground chicken
- 1/4 cup shredded carrot
- 1/4 cup steamed/ mashed broccoli
- Handful of mozzarella
- 1 egg
- Breadcrumbs (eyeball it)
- I tbsp diced cilantro (optional)

Broccoli, carrot, potato fritters
- bake @ 350 for 25 mins

also really like mashed avocado mixed with cottage cheese for protein and to introduce diary and mashed bananas or strawberries mixed with yogurt.
right now they are more just playing and being introduced so sometimes i like to do a puree on the side and spoon feed that so they can actually get some food in there tummy and be introduced to spoon feeding while also learning hand and eye coordinate

3 year old wants a PHONE

Help! My daughter sees her 5 year old cousin on her phone(yes my brother got his 5 year old a real phone) and has been constantly asking my husband and I if she could have a 'real' phone. We have given her pretend ones that light up and make sounds and she recognizes its not a real working phone and asks for a real one. I didn't think I would be having this argument at 3. I didnt think she would ask for a phone until middle school. Idk what I was thinking. Any ideas on how to convince her she doesnt need one? I tried telling her things like "it will hurt your brain and eyes" "your eyes dont like it" and I redirect her to books, toys, slime, playdoh literally anything besides a phone. Any suggestions on how to deter her from wanting one?

do you and your SO connect (emotionally or physically) regularly?

I crave intimacy, but my partner comes home very tired. He plays a little with our baby before his bath, then eats, showers and then he plays on his phone, or watch reels. I told him yesterday that the time he spends on his phone we could do something together, ANYTHING, since we don't have couple time, only parent. He seemed annoyed and told me literally "that's life, we can't connect everyday". I guess he does have a point, but I feel so not appreciated and loved :(
Just wanted to know if I'm alone in this

CHIA SEEDS

Hi moms 😊 How do you usually prepare chia seeds before eating them, for both yourselves and your little ones? Do you wash them first and then soak, just soak them, or eat them as they are? What works best for you?

Need advice

Me and my man live together. We have a system that works for us. He cooks and does the food shopping. We alternate dropping and picking the kids up. I do most of the cleaning but he cleans the bathroom stove and refrigerator. I make sure the dishes are washed and the clothes are cleaned daily. But this man will come home and make a bigger mess. When he cooks he wont clean up after himself. Examples yesterday I wasn't home. He was here all day by himself tell me why my house looks like a pig pens and when I say something he wants to get upset. If this was his parents house he would make sure him & who ever else was there was cleaning so why not do it where he actually lays his head. I cant stand men sometimes.

Sorry if my rant is all over the place. I just needed to space to let it out.

Toddler wont eat

My 3 year old toddler hasn’t been eating properly for the past 2 months. It’s emotionally draining me out. She refuses breakfast, lunch and dinner. She would tell me she wants to eat certain things, so i’d make it only for her to refuse it. I dread waking up every morning as i know it will take me an hour where id make different things for her to eat only for her to refuse it again. She’d tell me she wants boiled eggs, id make it, for her to have a bite and throw it away. Same with bread and cereal etc. She won’t even let me put it in her mouth to know if she’d like something or not

Potty training

My almost 3yr woke up with a full nappy as normal and then I changed him, 2 hours went by and his nappy was dry. So I asked if he wanted to go on his potty and he did a big wee.. put some little underwear on him for the first time and I ask 3/4 times an hour if he needs wee or poo and he sits and on potty and goes for a wee. From 10:30 this morning till 3 now, no accidents so far 🤞.
Is this now the time to do ‘ a week intensive potty training’? Any advise much appreciated
Thanks
