Weaning onto solids
I’m getting prepared for when my little one gets to 6 months and is ready to start solids. How did you mums start with yours? Is it worth just trying one thing at a time e.g. puree food one week then mashed, finger food or can you do all 3 in one sitting so they can try it in all different ways? Any advice welcome :)

With my first I done puree and finger foods at the same time, for example we started with broccoli - I blended some but then also gave one floret for her to hold. I did this with most foods
I did baby led weaning with my first and will do this time, no purees x
I was wondering this too I've ordered a BLW book of Amazon to try and get some ideas
I went to a class a few weeks ago, see if there are any local ones or check The Baby Academy online, went to a few free things there
My friend gave me the Joe wicks book but i've also booked onto a free weaning class through my local family hub
BLW, he ate what we ate no puree proper meals from the off. Introduced allergens separately of course. Will do the same again x

I hate my husband!
I have nowhere to go I'm financially dependent on him. I moved from a different country and got married to this a*****. He is so effing lazy. Comes from work and goes to the bed straight for the nap. Wakes up makes me serve his dinner, won't even make his plate. Eats. Plays some game and then goes back to bed. Snores loudly the whole night waking up the baby since we only live in a one bedroom apartment. When I tell him he disturbs the baby, he says that he snores because he is tired and can't control it. On the weekends. He comes home between his break for lunch. On the weekends he only plays games since it's his rest day and I have to serve him fresh lunch and dinner. Now he is saying that we should plan the next baby. I so fucking tired. I can't even work because I have to take care of the baby.

Mess at home triggering husband
So I'm about 2 months after birth. I have a 3 year old and my recent baby. I have my toddlers toys in baskets around the home and I usually tidy up twice a day once midday then end of day. My toddler tips out the toy basket and it keeps triggering my husband as he can't stand the mess. I have explained that it's normal for toddlers to do this. He wants to throw out all the toys and leave her with a few. I explained that I've spent money on these toys and I'd rather she had them. Any advice?

Baby not ready for weaning
My baby is a week away from 6 months and is only showing the sign of bringing toys to his mouth as being food ready. when we’re eating he has no interest at all, and i’ve tried a little spoon of a few purees and he just pushes them out of his mouth. I feel like i’m going crazy as so many relatives are telling me he’s ready, and he’s up through the night every 2 hours for a 7oz bottle but he’s just not ready yet? Anyone else in a similar boat?

Baby staying over at the in-laws for the first time
I’m a first time mum and I’m meant to be going away for a couple of nights in October that’s 4 hrs away and my baby who will be 5 months then is planned to go stay at her Granny’s (MIL) , this will be her first time away from me and her dad and I’m really beginning to get bad anxiety from it all.
MIL has only seen her twice , once when she was born and the second when we drove through for a hour, we live over an hour away from them so hence the not constantly seeing eachother and I’m not going to constantly pack up and travel over there all the time.
I’m really really nervous as the time is approaching, we had booked this pre pregnancy and i genuinely thought I’d be okay but I’m really starting to panic. I don’t want to say anything to them incase they take it the wrong way like they think I don’t trust th or that they aren’t capable as she has had two boys. I feel so nervous im considering not going and just staying at home whilst my partner takes a friend and goes, but another part of me believes I should go as my life shouldn’t just stop because I’ve had a child and I deserve to have fun too but I also just don’t know anymore, I love my girl but I also want a break but I also don’t want her to go somewhere else. My mum died years ago and my dad’s too old to do it himself. We have no friends nearby who would help out either so this is really our only option.
Any advice on how to cope with this and if anyone has been in the same boat and just bitten the bullet and gone for it? xx

When does the messiness stop?
Started weaning for a few weeks now and baby prefers feeding himself. After each meal he is cover in food. The bib and high chair too. When does it get manageable? Feel like I can't go out now.
