Hand to mouth delay ? Anyone else have issues with this?
My 7 month old refuses to hold food in his hands for more than 5 seconds and doesn’t reach for food, he eats realllllly well if I spoon feed him but he’s not interested in picking food up to eat himself he holds it puts it to his mouth then either throws it on the floor or drops it down his front, almost instantly, iv tried to hold off spoon feeding so as he’s hungry enough to want to feed himself but he just screams until I feed him 😩

Happened to us too! Then one day around 9months she decided she wanted to feed herself and only did finger foods for a couple weeks 😂 just keep offering, I’m sure it’s still great for him to play and touch his food and he’ll get there when he’s ready. Try not to put too much pressure on yourself (easier said than done), you’re doing great and keeping him fed and loved.
My daughter is 7 months and exactly the same, I started off with baby led weaning and she had no interest. If it's chunks of fruit or stuff like that, she will lean forward to eat it, when we hold it. So, if I'm not doing fruit, I have just stuck with puree. I give her the spoon and bowl at the end, just for play but she couldn't care less! I figure she's just a princess who wants feeding 😅 I'm not too worried, she's still trying lots of different things, just in her own way. ❤️

Baby name regret
Need advice on what to do with this situation… I really regret my 18 month olds name and have done for a while. When he was around 6 months this feeling started and at around 8 months I discussed it with my husband and he said he wasn’t that keen on the name on the first place but he just came round to it because I really liked it. He said well that is his name now he responds to it etc and everyone knows his name so I thought we’ll just leave it now and maybe this feeling will go away I thought it could also be post partum related. Fast forward a year I still don’t like it and I cringe when I call him or anyone else says it and I wish I would’ve persuaded my husband to change it back then (I think he would’ve eventually) it would’ve been so simple then to just amend his birth certificate as he was under 1 and looking back he was still really young for people to get used to the change now it’s a case of changing by deed poll and he seems too old now. Has anyone else been through this? What do I do?

Struggling with a 2 year old and pregnant
I’m 38 weeks pregnant and really struggling.
My little boy is 23 months and he has turned into an absolute nightmare. the tantrums are so extreme and it’s like walking on eggshells with him. It’s like he is so fragile and emotional and ANY little thing sets him off. He goes to nursery/family 4 days a week and is fine there but I’m finding myself dreading my one day off with him. I’m trying to ignore the tantrum and reward when he stops rather than giving in but I don’t know how to handle this in public when everyone is looking and he’s running away from me. I can’t just pick him up kicking and screaming due to being so heavily pregnant.
He’s definitely worse for me than his dad and others but it’s just so mentally draining, I feel so flat and down about it and it feels like everyone around me isn’t struggling at all with 2 or more children and I keep thinking if I can’t even cope before the baby is here how am I going to cope with 2?
Feel like such a failure.

Baby still refusing food
My baby is almost 11 months old and it’s still such a battle to get him to eat food. I’ve tried purées and & finger foods.
I don’t see how he’s going to drop his formula at 12 months if he’s not eating solids?
Is this something is should chat to the gp about? He often cries and has a tantrum everytime he’s offered food

Starting solids
Very nervous about starting solids the right way! Also making sure it’s variety of food, allergens etc. Could someone recommend a guide I could follow day by day week by week to start?
