Help me please

My baby is 8 months old and she only feels satisfied when she having milk and not with her solids.

I feel like I’m failing! Any advice?

My son is the same way, but at 8 months solids aren’t for pure nutritional purposes. They’re for texture and experimentation. Milk will be their main source of nutrition and all until at least 12 months

Food at this age is for exploration of textures, introduction of allergens and for practicing skills like: hand-eye coordination, chewing, swallowing, and depth perception. It is also for supplementing nutrients that they do not get from breast milk (if EBF) like iron.

Milk is still their main source of nutrients until 1 year.

At 8 months they're only on 1 or 2 meals a day. Don't let your dr stress you out. A lot go off outdated standards and a lot don't have children of their own so they just spout textbook standards.

My dr was like that and we'll see how she's changed when she gets back from mat leave next year (our kids are exactly 1 year apart).

Some babies don’t even start solids until 9 months. Food before one is for fun and exploring. Their main nutrition comes from milk the first year of their life

How would you handle this?

My daughter fell down a flight of stairs today in school. She asked to go to the nurse but the nurse was on lunch when she went. She was never sent back and she came home from school limping. She's 7. She was crying in pain and then I have her some Tylenol and an ice pack and she's been running around and doing cart wheels and horsing around with her sisters and seems fine now. What would you do? Not sure if I should leave it alone or what

How would you feel about this? My neice (persian) who is 4 has a bit of a mustache (not that noticeable but from close up you can tell) and my brother keeps asking her why she has a mustache! Shes 4!!!

Shes at that stage where now shes noticing her body even more and it breaks my heart. My sister has fought with him about it but he still does it. They both live together. His wife just smirks and shes a psychologist. I need advice because its pissing me off

Nursery

Hi my daughter left nursery last year to start school she had been there since she was 9 months old. My youngest is due to start there in September she’ll be 11 months old we never thought to look round it as it’s the same manager and most of the staff are the same so thought what would change. But my friend went to look round it today for her son and she said the pre school room was so messy and hectic and she felt like the staff were just watching the children not actually playing with them.
Now I’m in two minds of what to do. Is this ok for a preschool room to be like this? Or have they taken on too much that they can handle (I know they have to have ratios but the ratio is ridiculous)

Bread??

Is it safe to give a 9 month old bread/sandwich? He’s got his two bottom teeth. Even tho my daughter is only 2 I cannot remember if she was eating bread at this age.

make it make sense
(this is dumb so sorry to waste everyone’s time)

soo i just need a second opinion
my boyfriend had been pissing me off pretty much all afternoon . i alr had a stressful day but when he got off work & came to pick me & our daughter up to go swimming he was saying things that kept rubbing me wrong . i told him that his comments were rude & yet he acted like he didn’t know what i was talking about . I was genuinely starting to think i was tweaking but no….he was gaslighting me.

fast forward , he drops our daughter & myself back home and him & i are talking on tik tok( which we often do at the end of the day)…sending videos back & forth , joking & laughing everything’s cool… right ? until he says something else that’s mean n hurtful (thinking he’s a comedian) . i’m thinking this is the perfect time for me to get his ass . so i reported his comment and got his page suspended ,right ? ha jokes on u! mind you it’s funny ash to me to the point where im actually gasping for air . i haven’t laughed this hard in days . im slapping my knee and everything .

he gets mad when he realizes that he can’t message me anymore or message his friends . he starts panicking thinking he won’t be able to make any more money off of his account . i said “boo hoo” stop being rude to me your on time out but your account should be back normal in like a day or so. obviously tik tok didn’t think your comment was appropriate either . you know what his response to that is …. “your just like your cousin (who’s name i won’t say) …….worthless “

now… please tell me i don’t have every right to be mad asf , bc why would u say that ba me but also why would u randomly bring my cousin into this. ik this whole thing sounds stupid but it’s the principle for me like why in the fk would u call the mother of your child worthless over a harmless prank ? especially when you’ve been a dick to me all day??
i temporarily blocked him for the evening . what should i do ladies . i’m open to everything
