What's your baby eating?

What type of foods your baby eating and do they still get pouches?

We did blw and had him on jars for a brief moment after finding an allergen (he then started refusing finger foods momentarily).
Our go to success foods are scrambled egg, anything mixed into mash, anything with rice 😆

Dinner is fish ratatouille, bolognaise or a curry… that sort of thing with rice or pasta. The NHS website has some really great recipes.

We're doing a bit of BLW and spoon feeding from pouches. She was quite late to wean so we are taking things slowly

Baby just eats what we have for dinner but a baby version. She refuses to eat pouches so for breakfast and lunch it’s usually toast, fruit, pastry bits or egg.

Baby eats what we eat, we just dont add salt. He loves spaghetti and meatballs, curry and rice, egg on toast, banana pancakes and any kind of meat or fish! We did try some pouches but he doesnt like them, he will tolerate some fruit ones!

To be honest, everything. 🤷‍♀️ 😅 just different quantities and sizes. Of course no salt and sugar.

There is so many recipes on internet! You can cook/bake and easily freeze or keep in the fridge for 2-3 days at least (I don’t do that because I don’t want baby to eat the same few days in the row)

I would rather cook everything myself but sometimes we are out and about in lunch time so I’m saving myself with pouch. 😅

I can’t do it

Anyone else getting the overwhelming feeling like they just cant do it. I’m nearly 3 weeks in and I’m exhausting and feeling unwell.
I was in the hospital last few days due to an infection and feeling faint.
I felt better and went home, woken up this morning just feeling like shit again and rundown and hot.

Every time I ask my partner for some helps it is met with a “sigh” and he goes “I’m tired too and I’m working”
When I came back home house was still messy.

I have such back pain, extremely sore nipples, feverish but don’t have a fever and just so unwell.
At night baby is on myside I feed her and change her. Me and partner argue becuase he says he does everything and is running around but I don’t see it that way.

I’m feeling more disconnected to my baby and just cry a lot cause I’m in so much pain and exhaustion. The slight thought of regret having a baby is coming to mind and I feel so bad.

Anyone have any advice?

How do you deal with being married and still loving your spouse but feeling disgusted and completely turned off by them after cheating, trust issues, and constant relationship drama? Is the marriage worth rebuilding ?

We have a daughter and a baby coming in Dec. I can say every-time Ive been pregnant I have not experienced the best yet . I need yall help on what should I do.

GOING BACK TO WORK

Am loosing it

I will be resuming back to work soon
Myself and my partner works full time
I work day shift and he does night shift
Now my partner is saying , he won’t be able to look after the baby while I am work cos he needs the day to himself to catch up with his sleep
He is insisting we take her to a daycare during the pay and that we must spilt the cost of daycare 50/50

I think that is being selfish 🤦🏻‍♀️
It is reasonable or I am just overthinking ?
Mums how do you plan with your partner on childcare while at work

Do you give dinner after nursery tea?

I’m not originally from the UK so just curious! If your little one has tea at nursery, do you still give them dinner at home? I heard most British parents don’t ... is that true?

Toothpaste

I just bought my 2 year old Tom’s toothpaste with fluoride in it. Is it ok if I use it and he doesn’t know how to spit yet? I barely used for the first time today. Also does anyone know what that spray is called that you use when baby falls asleep and can’t brush their teeth in the night

Roommates

My bestie has been living with my husband and I for about 5-6 years now. She was in a position where she needed help and we were able to do that for her. (I want to preface this by saying we do a lot for her.) The past 5ish years it’s been great having her. She pays her rent on time and our kids love her. She is the basement auntie. Things have unfortunately taken a turn her personal life has taken quite a few hits the past few months and we’re being as understanding as we can. We’ve been taking late not in full rent (we don’t charge her for utilities or wifi , I’ve been taking her to and from work grocery shopping, just anything she needs really. But she’s picking fights and doing shitty things now. The way she’s treating us and our things is not okay.
I’ve tried talking to her about this, but if I bring up literally ANYTHING it’s throwing it back in her face. She has this idc attitude I told her if she was going to continue being shitty to me as I’m literally taking her to work she can get out and walk. Her response to that was “I’ll quit my job right now. I told her to find a new place to live. She just has a shitty attitude. I don’t want that around my kids.

She yells then cries then disappears to her family’s house for weeks at a time. I thought we were somewhat good after this last time she went to her families house but this morning I wake up to my clean dried clothes on the ground of the laundry room and my clothes that were next to go into the dryer are just wet sitting on top of the dryer. I know it’s not a huge thing but it feels disrespectful asf. Especially after having a conversation with her about her attitude and the things she does.

What should I do. I love her and I want her to do well in life. I really don’t want our friendship to go out the window but girlllll. Should we start treating her as just a roommate? Start charging her for utilities and rent in full at the 1st of each month?

I also want to add we don’t need her as a roommate we can make rent and bills just fine, our rent would actually be cheaper without her here. We’re literally only doing this because she needs us to.
