My baby isn’t taking to spoons any suggestions?

Has anyone else had this? My baby isn’t taking to spoons, he’ll happily have the purees off of his dummy or my finger but once it’s on his spoon he hates it. If anyone else has had this what did you do or use ☺️

You couod try those specific dummies that have lots of holes in them specifically made for purees and for ice pop type things. You put the food in and as they suck on it it comes out. Or there are spoons that dont look like spoons, they have like a snowflake looking hole in the middle of it and if the consistency of the food is right, it sticks in between there and so its not normal, more like between sucking and using a spoon

I’d just load a spoon and let him play with it/hold it, he might not bother with it the first few times but consistently is key and one day he might just decide to like it

Could be the material of the spoon? Have you tried different spoons

Who was in the room while you delivered?

Me personally it was a must for me to have my husband and mom. But they allowed room for 1 more so I had my mother in law in there as well.

Am I in the wrong?

I feel like I'm going insane. Yesterday my partner had a very long busy shift (he's a police officer for context) I work in the same organisation so I completely understand what his role entails.

We were both sat on the sofa in the evening with our son who's 8 months old. He was playing while we watched TV. Our son is extremely active, climbing all over us, us I mean mainly me. I've had him all day (which I'm happy with don't get me wrong but he's a handful) and I was up all night with him beforehand as he's a terrible sleeper. I'm knackered basically. Yet he's sat on his phone ignoring him.

I eventually said can you get off your phone and pay attention to your son please, which he did. I obviously had a miserable face on and he asks what's wrong. I said I've had him all day could you just pay attention to him for 10 minutes. He obviously replies with "I've been at work all day I'm tired". Now, am I in the wrong for expecting him to still be a dad after work? We chose to have this baby and you can't play with him for 10 minutes in the evening!!? He makes me feel awful for even asking🙄

Has anyone done a trial separation while living in the same house?? I love my husband but honestly something has got to give. I think time without the expectations of marriage level emotional and physical intimacy would give me clarity

Also if you think this is a good or bad idea please let me know. I’m just so confused, scared and heartbroken at how my life ended up here. I’ve been out of work for so long I’m scared to separate fully because I don’t know if I can make it on my own I can’t even find a job that would work with childcare . My kids are still little

anyone else ever feel like this?

my fiancé, me, and my daughter took a roadtrip to go visit grandparents. my fiancés grandma is also in town. they’re caribbean for reference. my fiancé started telling his grandma about how i bake/cook, and suggested she showed me how to make a few dishes. which is fine, i enjoy cooking with her…

long story short, im familiar with this city but i dont have any friends here. however he has plenty

i breast feee my baby, but i pumped a good 3 bottles just in case we decided to go out and i wanted to have a drink…

i had a gut feeling that he was going to want to go out, but he went out with his friends and left me here. with his family and the baby…

i feel sad and am regretting my life decisions right now lol…

anyway someone can cheer me up😭
