the doctor did inform me , i should be having her on 3 meals and 2 bottles a day now (shes also just turning 8 months) but my baby rathers the milk so i give the food and give the milk behind it if she allows me to

just keep exploring flavors !

At the start of purées and stuff it’s very normal to only do a few tablespoons at a time and really I think only like one or two times a day I think. If he isn’t really taking them I wouldn’t necessarily force it. Maybe don’t completely stop but try different options.
Have you made homemade purées? Some jarred baby food honestly tastes nasty if you try it yourself.
What kind of foods are you offering? Maybe try more bland foods that would be similar in taste level to milk. Plain mashed potatoes could be something to try, maybe some form of white bean in purée form, white rice, plain oats (blitzed first into powder then cooked), lentils maybe?
Fruits could be too much flavor for him right now possibly.

I’m also trying for minimum 2 meals a day but my daughter barely takes in that much (3-4 teaspoons)! I offer quite a bit. My daughter eats more like 1-2 teaspoons if I’m lucky. Milk still every 3 hours or so. It’s rough I’m scared she’s behind but not sure either?

3 meals at 4oz each and 4 bottles 7oz, 5oz, 5oz, 7oz. 🫣 she will not tolerate anything less.
Anyone else totally overstimulated?? I never imagined it would be so hard! 3.5 week old and 2y9m old and the absolute exhaustion is making it soo hard to cope with the two of them! I feel bad writing this but OMG! One is constantly on the boob and the other never stops talking or jumping or whinging. Today she did a poo on the floor, peed on the pouffe and bit my husband 🆘😭 I know its normal for the toddler because its a big adjustment but it doesnt make it easier to deal with day to day. Then she goes to bed and its up all night with the baby ahhhhhh. I feel like this is going to kill me! Hope its not just me 💀💀💀

My nearly 11 month old daughter did her second day of nursery today, she cries as soon as we get into the room which I know is normal, but she’s refusing to nap all day or have any milk (she’s breastfed). It’s meant she’s so overtired on a night she just cries and cries and I can’t get her down, I think its made her a bit anxious about me leaving her.
I honestly don’t know if she’s ready for nursery yet and I feel so sick of guilt but financially I have no choice as I need to go back to work 😭
When does it get better?!

Hi girls, anybody who’s still using the pouches/ jars (Ella’s kitchen, Heinz etc)… how much of the jar or pouch do they eat? Like half or the whole thing? 😊

Is tv really as bad as the internet makes it out to be, how often do you let your LO watch it and does turning it off cause tantrums?
I have a 7 month old and he does watch little bits of tv so I can get things done around the house but I’m always seeing about how tv should never have been introduced. Obviously as soon as I’m finished what needs done and I turn it off and begin interacting again he just forgets about it but I worry soon he will cry and want it back on again.
Honestly just curious of how mums handle housework and baby and how often screen time is allowed in peoples houses 😊

Hi, just wondering if anyone else's partner works 12 hour days? My partner always says he is too tired to talk about things with the kids (like dates for parents evenings etc) and so we just skip talking about it. Are there any good tactics on how or when to best time a conversation?! He seems either always at work or so tired from work he doesnt want to deal with life admin.....
