When to start baby sensory?

When did you all start baby sensory classes? My baby is nearly 8 weeks, but unsure if he’ll fully benefit from it yet?

But we have a family hub that's free to attend not sure where you're based

I started at abiut 7 or 8 weeks with my first but he fell asleep a lot so I may wait until about 12 weeks this time

We started just before she turned 5 months old. It was a good age for us as she was able to watch everything and it was between naps

Some places offer baby massage classes for younger babies and then sensory classes as the next step.

I started at about 3 months, I don't know that my daughter got loads out of it but it was one hour a week where I didn't have to work out what to do with her, I found some new toys and activity ideas, I got to see other mums, made some friends etc so it was extremely beneficial for me!

We went at 7 weeks for the first time. Then didn’t go again until he was about 4 months. Can be difficult to get the timings right with naps and feeds ect. Did a few bits at home too

Has anyone started a business and it’s failed?

Basically that’s what’s happening to me right now. I won’t go into what the business is but it’s bleeding our family dry financially and the worst part is I don’t even need to work. Thankfully I’ve got a loving and supportive husband who has helped keep it afloat as long as possible because i love to work and it felt like a really good move financially at the time. but we got it wrong. We’ve really tried everything and thrown so much money at it, to try make it work and we can’t keep doing it. I’ve got an opportunity to get out this summer but I’m so embarrassed. I’m worried about what other people will say. I’m also worried what I’m going to do as a job. This felt so right and at my core if it wasn’t for the money, it made me so happy. I was so proud of being the owner.
It’s a real shame and I’m going to cry buckets.
My egos really not allowing me to let go and see the facts for what it is but I need to move on but I’m struggling. I keep fantasising that I’ll never have an opportunity like this ever again or we won’t dare try create another business ever again.

The only good thing about all this and I feel thankful that we will actually be better off as a family once it’s gone and I keep thinking of my little boy who deserves a mummy and daddy who aren’t stressed with money.

Can anybody relate to this story if so what happened on the other side?

Stopping weaning

I took baby to be weighed today, she’s 5 months and a week and put on weight so back to her centile. They were happy and I mentioned we had started weaning just porridge in the morning and a veg in the evening. She’s always had reflux and she was quite a bit sick with the veg. They suggested just doing the porridge each day instead as she might not be ready. I really thought she was ready. I work in childcare I know all the guidelines but I feel like I’ve failed so so much. She loved her food but I feel like I’ve failed her.

Meals

Can people give me some easy breakfast, lunch and dinner meal ideas please. I’ve been so crap with a routine for my little boy so he only has solids like every now and then as my adhd doesn’t go well with sticking to a routine. He’s 9 months on the 16th so I need to start getting my butt in gear with it all

Can’t leave baby yet

My partner keeps having a go at me because I won’t ’let him’ take our daughter for an hour or 2 to his mums by himself. His mum hasn’t proven overly trustworthy since she was born, he knows that, so does she.

I’m not in a place where I can leave her alone yet, with anyone. He also hates that I’m EBF and won’t put her on the bottle.

What are people’s thoughts here, am I out of order, being unfair? I will always do right by my LG and I feel I’m being punished for it.

We talk, I explain, he understands, conv closed. Then it circles back a couple of weeks later and on and on…

How do I handle it without this constant cycle of coming back round every couple of weeks?
