Toddler dinner ideas

What are you all feeding your toddlers for dinner? I feel like I’m running out of ideas! 😩 My toddler has become quite picky, and I’m struggling to come up with meals that are nutritious, filling, and that he’ll actually eat.

Would love to hear your go-to toddler dinners, especially easy recipes with protein and veggies that your little ones actually enjoy! ❤️

Please share your recipes/ideas — I need some inspiration! 🙏

Honestly my son only ever wants pasta so I always give him a small amount of pasta and then I add whatever we are eating on the side and he normally tries it. He eats well in the day so I m not that worried about dinner. He eats fruit and veg ect with lunch x

My little one loves meatballs and anything with ground beef. If she refuses to eat what we're having then I'll do plain greek yogurt with cinnamon or peanut butter and toast. She loves home made pizza, spring rolls, pasta and chicken fingers. I don't stress about food too much. I always try to offer a fruit or veggie but she doesn't always eat it. She also loves cereal now apparently and yesterday insisted on eating three bowls of it for dinner lol

Learning at nursery

So my little one’s just turned one and he’s starting nursery later this month. His nursery doesn’t offer any basic learning/curriculum at all until 3 years. My baby is quite a fast learner so I was hoping he would pick up new things at nursery like colours and 123.

Is this the case at other nurseries too? They only do singing, interactive/messy play. Am I expecting too much lol

How much are you January babies eating? How many meals are you offering? How much do they ACTUALLY eat from it? Struggling as my girl still isn’t showing much interest in weaning.

I have 6 recipe books for ideas and honestly some of them seem insane to me😂 also BLW genuinely gives me fear. I hate this first starting to eat stage honestly and her not being interested isn’t helping me😩

Is the relationship broken??

So me and my boyfriend had a little chat yesterday and he had told me that he enjoys his alone time more than being around me. He says that he sometimes feels suffocated because I’m a very energetic person. I told him that I am really trying to work on myself, but that lately I’m having a lot of insecurities due to our distance. He told me that I can’t force him to say that we’re gonna be okay because I was crying. I felt horrible because of it because it wasn’t my intention to guilt trip him. Now I’m really unsure where we’re going with our relationship. He says he wants to work on us and that he loves me, but I personally have the feeling that he might’ve already pulled out of this relationship.

I feel stuck… what do I do?

Weight reviews

My 10 month old has been pulled for a weight review after his 9-12 month check this morning as his weight has dipped. Despite her trying to reassure me that she has no other concerns I can’t help but overthink this situation! He’s very happy, he’s very active, climbing and cruising around our sofa aswell as crawling, he eats well and still breastfeeds regularly. He’s also my 4th child so I’d like to think I know somewhat what I’m doing. I don’t feel I have any concerns regarding him and can’t help but feel annoyed and stressed, or like I’m doing something wrong…. Any reassurance or experience of this? What can I give him to fatten him up😅🤣

Follow up to - should I apologise post!

So I didn't apologise.

Since then - My son had a family only bday party and she refused to come because it was a garden party. She messaged half an hour before we were expecting them. She said it wasn't safe in the heat. She was meant to be bringing his cousins and Aunt and Uncle. None of them came. The heat was 28 degrees, cloudy and we had out big gazebos.

She messaged and asked when we were going to reschedule and I said we weren't going to. She then didn't answer and hasnt answered me now for 3 weeks.

I am really struggling to move past this.
I also don't feel like my partner is getting it. He spoke to her and she said the heat isn't safe. I feel really sad about this.
I also feel like she is judging me!

We cannot go to her currently.

What would you do -

Husband.

Every month I go through my husbands phone because earlier this year after he turned 21 we went to the bar to celebrate he got really drunk and started hitting me and stuff telling me he cheated on me and threw his phone at me so I looked through it like any normal person would I didn’t find him talking to other females or anything like that he was watching thirst traps on a burner instagram account he got rid of this account fast forward my whole pregnancy he has been doing this I’ve stated how I felt about it and I told him it will have impact on me him and his child. Do you guys think that it’s because I’m fat ? Ugly or he’s just bored of me.. I need some serious advice do I leave. ( every time I try to leave he guilt trips me and tells me he’s going to kill himself )
