Maybe the start of teething mine did the same he was weanin well and then started refusin food and some bottles and then 2 teeth popped thro and his bk to eat tin fine just make sure his getting enough milk and it should pass, can u see any white spots on his gums? Xx

Spitting things can be totally normal, their gag reflex is really far forward to being with.
Long teethers to help with mouth mapping might be helpful! At this stage its all about getting use to eating anyway and their nutrition from milk so try not to stress too much

6 months is still early, they don't really need to eat yet so it's just offering. Keep offering little tastes but don't push it, they always take little breaks for a few days when they are ill. I would just come back to it when he's feeling more enthusiastic

That’s pretty normal. We BLW with all ours and they don’t tend to eat a whole lot at first, mostly just taste and feel of the foods. I don’t think we had like plates looking empty til 9 months and even then we’d have days where milk was still their choice over food.
My husband has a childhood friend that has schizophrenia or something and of course he thinks he’s totally normal and doesn’t take meds. My FIL took him in off the street and got him a job trying to help him. Well the other day he asked my husband randomly where our oldest child goes to school. I have no idea why he asked and my husband didn’t ask him. He didn’t tell him of course.
Now the guy has lost his job and it must’ve been something bad because the owner chased him out. I feel like things are escalating with his mental health and Now I’m worried because he’s free all day, I’m afraid he’s going to try something with my child and his school. I’m sure he could find out if he put his mind to it.
I’m thinking about telling the school. What do you all think? Am I overreacting? It was literally just that one question but he had absolutely no reason to ask, and when my husband didn’t tell him he said “I find it more odd that you won’t tell me”. So he’s got something going on and I’m worried.

Food suggestions for postpartum
Hey everyone! I’m coming on here to see if anyone has any suggestions for easy foods, snacks, and drinks I could have my husband pick up for me to keep in the bedroom while I recover postpartum.
Next week, on October 28th, I’m being induced and will finally get to meet our little boy! My doctor has told me that I’ll need to be on bed rest for a few weeks, only getting out of bed to use the bathroom. I want to make sure I have things available to eat and drink throughout the day, especially when my husband isn’t home and I get hungry.
We have a mini fridge in our bedroom, so I’m looking for easy snacks, drinks, and simple foods that I can keep nearby and eat without having to get out of bed or do much preparation.
If anyone has any recommendations for postpartum-friendly snacks, easy meals, or drinks that would be good to have on hand during recovery, I’d really appreciate it! I want to be as prepared as possible before our little man arrives so I can focus on healing and spending time with him. Thank you!

Any moms feel forced to stay home after they had more than one child? How did you navigate it and how did you feel about your children getting socialization without daycare?
I’ve never considered staying home, but if we have more children I’m going to have to because daycare would be home than my monthly take home pay.

Just looking for a some opinions/advice.. our little boy has just turned 18 months and me and my partner are desperate to start trying for baby no.2.. my partner works full time, I work 3 days a week.. we are just worried about money.. both our money gets eaten up each month with mortgage, bills and essential we barley have anything left over.. when we fell pregnant with our first it was the a bit of a surprise and we panicked so much on how we could make it work - we had just bought our house but 2 years later and we did it! He’s the best thing ever and my heart wants to give him a sibling but is that selfish?? We’ve got so much if our firsts baby things so we wouldn’t be starting again and I know more now what we would use and what is a waste of money? So we can keep the cost lower… idk is anyone else in or have been in this position?? Realistically are we ever going to be financially stable enough for more babies??
