Toddler is iron deficient
Hello moms! I’m desperate, my little one has never been a good eater he is 2.5 years now and his iron is very low! 11. The minimum is 20. Has anyone had this issue? Any advice on recipes? Iron rich food for picky eaters/ experience with supplements? I’m very concerned! First time and solo mom! Thanks

Stop dairy for a while
Too much cows milk can inhibit iron absorption. Tofu is great for iron , the soft silken one u can add fruit peanut butter whatever u like to it and my baby loves it
Make sure you pair iron rich food with vitamin c rich food in every meal
Iron fortified cereal is also helpful
How about putting some sort of iron supplement or iron rich foods in a smoothie?
Can you blend spinach into food, like choc muffins and smoothies? I always do this for myself (frozen spinach in smoothies especially) and have put fresh into choc muffins.

C section
My partner got kicked out the room while I was being stitched up during my emergency c section and showed his mum our baby boy before I could even look at him without being drugged up. He’s called me childish for being hurt by this. He said he was crying and that’s why. But wouldn’t your first thought be if I’m okay not to FaceTime ur mum while I’m still in theatre. Was being the first one to hold him not enough? Thoughts?

Baby daddy issues
My partner and I values do not align at all. while he’s a good father and is a nice guy . he’s also downright lazy and cheap and I come home working a full-time job to a messy house and I’m just having to do everything. I’m exhausted and while I love my baby more than anything in the world and she’s literally the best thing that’s ever happened to me. I sometimes wonder if I had her with the right person. Anyone ever feel this way? Any advice? He also complains that I’m always angry or frustrated well now you know why.

London mums – how much do you pay on top of the 30 funded hours for nusery?
Just curious what other London parents are paying. I want to understand what the norm is - Not sure if I’m being charged too much.
If your child gets the 30 funded hours and attends nursery around 3 full days a week, roughly how much do you still pay per month for extras/consumables such as meals and activities?
Would love to compare as it seems to vary so much between nurseries! Feel free to comment what your fee covers too.
