my son is 4 and a half months right now, but his pediatrician told me last week I can start at 5 but I may wait a bit longer.

6 months, shouldn’t be any earlier unless there is a medical reason and you have been recommended by a paediatrician

First baby was 5.5 months old (4.5 months corrected) due to reflux, CMPA and poor weight gain which was recommended by the hospital.

Second baby was also 5.5 months old as he was drinking nearly 50oz of milk in a 24 hour period and he would’ve drank more if he could. He also showed all signs of readiness

Solids when he had teeth an he was able to move food around his mouth, purées from 6 months

6 months, as recommended.
There are no benefits to starting solid foods earlier than 6 months, but there are plenty of risks

(Unless there is a legitimate medical reason)

6 months is recommended by nhs as their gut isn’t ready prior

5.5 months, she showed all signs of readiness otherwise we would have waited. She is loving her solids!

We started 2 weeks earlier than the recommendations as baby was ready but with only one ingredient at a week cooked and strained into breastmilk. So basically just a very very tiny flavour to start with. Then we continued with purees into breastmilk and gradually increased the solid and decreased the breastmilk in his solid.

Around 9 month we went blw. Baby likes food, and trying everything. 😊😊

Pooping in a potty

Last night while playing and having some nakey time without a nappy on my little girl who’s just turned 2 said “I want my potty” so I told her to go get it. She bought her potty into her bed room, sat down and went poop. I was shocked because she’s only been playing with the potty up-to now, she’s never done a wee in it and if anything she usually would get nervous whilst sitting on it as I think she was worried she wasn’t aloud to do a wee or poop despite my encouragement.

It’s has been sat in my bathroom for weeks not being looked it never mind used, so for her to actively go fetch it as she wanted a poop AND use it correctly, I’m shocked! 🤯

I gave her loads of praise, big smiles but she looked worried she’d done a “stinky” on the potty and was upset. Yet she’s the one who wanted to do it??? Im confused what to do about it. Personally I don’t think she’s ready to start potty training but the kid just independently took herself off to use it so perhaps I’m wrong?

How would you play these next steps? Or would you do nothing as it might have been just a one off?

Apart from circumstances where the child isn’t able to be, it is unacceptable for a 3 year old to not be potty trained.

Unless your child has SEND, it is 100% just LAZY parenting.

Feeling like a terrible wife

My husband apparently hurt his leg while at work. He has been limping around for a few days. Now he says he can’t hardly move it. I’m feeling pretty upset because I can’t tell if it truly is as bad as he says or he is just using it as an excuse. I have taken care of the kids, the meals, the cleaning, all of it while he said I could take it easy and relax. All day he has been sleeping and not really doing much of anything. I’m frustrated because when I am sick or in pain I still have to take care of the kids and cook/clean but it seems like he just gets to do nothing. Am I being a bad wife?

Baby fell off couch

my husband was supposed to be watching the baby so i could sleep in the morning and he set the baby 7 weeks old on the couch while he went to the restroom, well baby wiggled off and fell face first ☹️ i woke up to the crying we both ran to see he was laying face down on the tile floor and we rushed to the hospital they did X rays and they said nothing is wrong internally he just has a bruise on his forehead and bruised nose. IM SO HEARTBROKEN. we’re home now and baby is acting normally but i just feel like the worst parents ever. did this happen to anyone else ever or are we really the worst?? and is it likely he could get a long term disability from this ? has it happened to anyone else? also yes i’m very angry at my husband, i never leave the baby unsupervised. if something worse was wrong with the baby i was seriously considering divorce while sitting in the hospital room!
