Jollof rice, chicken, I give mine swallow as well like amala or poundo but make sure it’s soft

I gave my daughter near enough everything just made hers up took it out then added extra salt and all

My daughter has tried everything, she’s 15 months now and prefers Nigerian food to typical British food, I just modify thing for her so it has less salt, her favourite is okra soup

Try Eba and Okro, my toddler loves loves it

You can give your baby “pap , soft jollof rice, Eba / Amala and okra soup, (no poundo yet his/ her body system can’t handle it)
You can give soft Moi Moi ( this can be made with Red Lentils or Honey Beans)
You can also make potato porridge
Etc. Please add fish/ chicken/ beef to this meals to give that extra protein and iron.

First day solids!!

Today is the day! Baby is 6 months old and been ready for solids for few weeks already 😅 (just mama wasn’t ready 🙈 )

Let’s go! 🥦🍌🥑🫐🥔🍎

Going from 2-3, Help! 😩

My 2 step-daughters live with us full time, and have done for nearly 5 years. We now have our 4week old baby boy and I'm really struggling with how a routine will ever come into place.

I had a C-section so have not been doing many of the school runs as I'm unable to drive. My mum has been living with us during the week to help as my partner had to go back to work 4 days after bringing baby home.

We are getting closer to the time my mum won't be here to help and I'll be doing all of the school runs (and all other things that come with being a mum and running a house) and I do not know how I'm going to get out the door at 8am - let alone keep everyone organised and settled.

Parenting isn't new to me but being a mummy to a new born baby is so I feel a little lost.

Any advice welcome!

Nursery question UK

My son starts nursery soon and they said they provide all the kids with wellies and rainsuits for playing in the garden.

Does anyone know why this is? Why can't he just wear his own?

The pamphlet didn't explain the reasoning, I suppose I can ask in a few weeks when we get to visit, but I was just curious if other nursery's do this?

Am I overreacting?

My husband wants to get a live in nanny and get me back to work at the hospital ASAP after my c-section in July. He wants me to go back to my regular hours, which is a 12 hour shift 5 days a week, an hour drive one way. So 14 hours, 5 days a week. He thinks this leave loads of time for me to bond and raise our child. First off, I don't see how we have money for a nanny, he thinks we can pay someone less than 500 a MONTH to be our live in nanny, and second, I want to raise MY child! This child will be my first and only child, a child I was told for years I'd never be able to have.

Unreasonable to be annoyed at this??

So me and my boyfriend have been together 6 months and is it a bit shitty that we have only been for dinner once? And not really been anywhere on a day out. Alls he does is work, a lot. Which I like in a man but he works 60 hours a week and always says he has no money. But I just would love to get dressed up a night and I love going for dinner/going on adventures etc but he just works and sleeps 🙈 I don’t even ever think we’ve went for lunch. I have a 6 year old daughter and only get 2 nights a week free so would be nice to actually go somewhere or do somethin. It’s always me askin go do stuff and he’s just like “yeah come round to mine” and we just sit and watch tv 🙈
