Feeding 6 months baby

Hi! My baby is 6 months now and I am trying to give him food in de BLW way and also in pureed way. But none of them he likes and he doesn’t eat, he maybe gets a little in his mouth and he sort of spills it out. Any recommendations?

Is it puree with chunks or not? Xx

No there are no chunks, it is completely puree and also BLW so in stick form and very soft

Sounds normal. They don’t know what food really is so they often just move it around their mouths and spit in the early stages. Refusal at this stage doesn’t = not liking something it’s just taking time to build familiarity x

Thank you!! Xx

totally agree with Jess, at this age milk is still way more important and food is just a fun introduction :) one of my daughters favorites was baby oatmeal with a little banana purée and the smallest amount of peanut butter. I would just keep experimenting with all the new flavours and textures & if it’s still an issues months from now go from there 🩷i wouldn’t worry too much though

Thanks a lot!!! I will keep in mind and we will see in a few months how he improves. 💞

Toddler nonstop complaining

Sat here crying because ive had to resort to putting on Teletubbies AGAIN just so we can have some relief. My (non verbal) little boy will be 2 this month. He seems to be in a phase where he is just angry all day and high pitched whinging and screaming especially when his daddy stops playing with him because he needs to like...have a pee...have a shower...etc! He only wants his daddy half the time I guess because im more like...go play i need to wash up...
Today daddy went for a shower and I offered little man a yogurt that he wanted but no. He only wanted daddy to give it to him and started having a meltdown that he was in the shower. We all need a break...im trying to recover from a bit of a breakdown after being made redundant. I desperately need some quiet at home and some serenity....i just start crying instantly when I am bombarded with crying now. And I know I need to toughen up somehow
If anyone has any suggestions I would love to know. We've started trying to be tougher with him and tell him to stop whinging and angry squeaking but so far it doesn't work.

Should the childs father buy clothes if he rarely has the child overnight?

My ex has asked for reduced time rather than long weekends in shorter hald terms and 2 weeks at sumner holidays and 1 week easter and 4 nights at christmas, he has asker for 4 nights twice a year in summer holidays so like 4 nights beginning of and 4 nights the middle or end only. He asked to otherwise see them 10 until 4 every 2 weeks on a saturday for the day. He pays £100 a week for child maintenance altogether for 3 kids. He earns 90k a year and lives rent free. He buys nothing in terms of clothes, school uniforms, shoes, a coat, a school trip etc nothing as he says i should buy everything with the maintenance the 30 odd quid a child a week. They all have additional needs and costs too. They go to 3 different schools due to their needs not being able to be in the same schools. He also expects that on his saturdays i provide packed lunch and drinks and snacks and he gets them after brrakfast being 10am and brings them back before dinner at home. He does no occassions either. School uniforms for september alone cost over £900 activities like football and swimming for 3 kids comes at £200 per month and school dinners is hundreds too. Is it too much to ask he buys a few outfits for them each a couple of times a year ? Contributes to school uniforms n buys his kids something at christmas?

Moving with boyfriend and his son. His son annoys me so much when it comes to food. How do you handle your stepchild or child eating habits? (He’s 13)

Ex. I made chiptole at home, literally every side dish you can think of to put in your burrito. He literally ate 90% of the meat, lettuce and cheese - that’s it. Opens up chips that I would bring over, rips the sides off. Today I found out he opened up literally 5 packs of pancakes just to take 1-2 out of each(their 3 packs) instead of finishing up the pack from before.

What best thing to give baby for breakfasts?

I know they say baby rice is no good, so what else are we giving? I heard ready break is okay but does that have high sugar content?

Interest in solids

Anybody's baby has started showing a lot of interest in solids? My husband wants to let her lick or have some of his food, I don't think that's a good idea but welcome to hear some thoughts and comments. Thanks
