Weaning amount

Hey fellow weaners, I know at 6mo they're generally supposed to eat 2 spoonfulls of food, but today I started weaning and after 2 spoons I stopped and my LO kicked OFF, I couldnt find any other reason except maybe he wasn't finished and wanted more 🤷🏻‍♀️, I was v suprised that he completely ate the 2 spoon fulls of banana, not a bother. Even though I thought this phase was more about mess! Anyways any advice on if I should continue feeding until he refuses more? Or is that overfeeding? I dont want to make him sick - thanks

Personally, I’d try feeding until they were ‘done’ - if they’re not sick or uncomfortable or refusing milk afterwards then I’d stick with it

I agree with Natalie, my LO was obviously more than ready-he couldn’t get it in his mouth quick enough and would squeal for more!
Started slowing down when full or stop opening mouth.

Its why I prefer BLW to spoon feeding as baby controls quantity! Honestly keep offering until baby doesnt seem like they want more, they all have different appetites and this also vsries day to day!xx

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!

Day festival with 6 month old

Me and my partner are taking my 6 month old to a local day festival... Initially planned to come home early evening but now wondering whether to stick out till after the main headline act so my partner can see. Is this a stupid idea with a young baby? My frienfs are camping near to main area and so can take baby back there for naps plus most of the day will be spent in kids field. Thoughts / advice welcome. I would then drive home late evening.

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 🙈
