My friend had same problem where her little boy wasn’t interested in solids. So she gave him bits and bobs so he gets tastes but didn’t properly wean him till he was a year old and he was interested in solids by that time and ate everything

Just let them play with it. At 6 months, you can introduce purées but their main source of nutrients should be milk

6 months is still super early, so I would continue offering purées but if he’s not interested, don’t force it. I wish I hadn’t started solids so early because once you start, you have to start cleaning the high chair 3 times a day 😭

my son was the same way he was just on his own timing, just eat in front of him and make everything very dramatic with chewing and the fact you are enjoying the food it brings them more interest. my son is ten months now no teeth but this boy can eat!

I’m a bit gutted about husbands comment

So I have a 20 month old and I was out with my girlfriends last night. It was a typical mums night out and of course the question came flooding in if we were thinking of having anymore children? I replied yes we probably will try have more as I’ve always wanted more than just one child but I also mentioned we’re not trying and we haven’t got to serious talks yet about when exactly we’d have a go for baby number 2. But I’d be lying if I didn’t admit its there in the back of my mind.

Anyway my husband asked this morning what me and my friends were chatting about and I told him.
He just replied with,

“if you got pregnant right now our nursery bill would be massive.”

That’s all he said and it’s a valid point but it also made me a bit sad that everything always boils down to money. We both earn a decent amount and yet everything is so expensive, money isn’t very far from our thoughts.

But when we’re chatting about our future family it’s so hard to always think with our brain and just sometimes it would be nice to think with our hearts. Even if it’s just to have a chat about it we don’t have to act on it.

Anyway it just made me feel a bit meh that he just bought it back round to be all about money.

I’m just venting but are there any other couples who sorta feel a bit stuck. Wanting to grow their family but cost of living is just so high it’s hard not to take it into consideration. It makes me very sad.

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🙄

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 ☺️

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😭
