You just need to remove it. Let her wake up one morning and it be gone entirely. She needs a reset. Yes, you’ll have behaviours to deal with but after a few days, it will settle.
Then if you just give it back to her, wait at least a month and introduce it with very strict boundaries that you have to uphold. No extra 5 mins. No using it as a distraction so you can get something done. You must stick to the rules you put in place

Weaning advice

Hi just looking for a few tips around weaning, my daughter is a little over 5 months and looking to start weaning from 6 months. My understanding is that I should start with 1 meal a day and formula as normal otherwise and then this can increase to 2 meals by 7 months. My questions are … what meal should I start with? The book I’m reading suggests lunch but then I’m aware I will be doing it all and my husband will miss it all due to work? Also do I just do purées to start with? Some things suggest jusy purées, others say to give a food 3 ways straight away eg pureed and mashed and in sticks and also I’ve seen porridge mentioned a lot?? Sorry just a bit confused and want to do it properly ! Also any big tips generally ?? Thanks so much :)

People who are rude with kids

I just went to a very distressing situation while collecting a click and collect order at the shopping centre with my 4 years old. Shopping was packed so I had to park quite far from the store and we had to walk a bit. My child was a bit tired, so I was encouraging him to walk so I created a game where he could only walk on the white tiles. At some point he stopped for a few seconds to think where to step and a woman behind him started complaining and being rude. I took him out and said he is just a child, and a man that was with her replied aggressively to me that it's not because he's a child that he can be "mocking around". I froze and could not reply. I wasn't expecting such a rude reaction from two adults over a small child. My son didn't do anything wrong, he stopped for a few seconds, that's all. What if it was an older person, or a person with disabilities? Would they be rude too?
I'm feeling so bad I didn't respond. I should stand for my son, but all I want to do is cry. How can people be so aggressive with a child (and a mother) that did nothing wrong?

🗓️ A Day in the Life of a Stay-at-Home Mom –

Hi everyone! I have a question. I’m a first-time mom, and my baby is 5 months old.

I’m a stay-at-home mom, so I spend most of my day at home with my baby. I’m curious about what a typical day looks like for other moms who stay at home with their little ones.

What’s your daily routine like? What kinds of activities do you do with your babies? How often do you breastfeed? Do you follow a set schedule, or do you mostly follow your baby’s cues and needs?

I’m also new to American culture, and I’d love to learn more about how American moms approach raising their children. Do you have a routine for everything, or do you just go with the flow?

I’d really love to hear about your everyday experiences! ❤️

Advice please

This is my first pregnancy and so far it’s been a very bumpy road, lots of hospital visits, I’m on a heart monitor currently, been on bed rest for several months and still have two months to go.

My partner has had to pick up a lot of the things I can’t do anymore, cooking, cleaning, moving furniture, etc.

Even before the pregnancy I’ve had several conversations with them about feeling as though their phone or video games are more important to them than I am, and since the pregnancy it feels like it has gotten worse.

I tell them I need intimacy such has holding hands. Cuddling, watching tv together for more than just an episode a night.
They told me today they were over worked and had nothing left to give me, that they would not be willing to give up any of their screen time because they feel as though 3-6 hours of gaming isn’t enough if it’s only 3-4 days a week they get to game.
To me that feels outrageous, your games get hours while I get minutes and they told me that they already do everything for me because I’m unable to do much of anything right now.
I told them I was done begging for their time and attention because it’s been an ongoing argument and I’m tired of my illnesses being the excuse for lack of intimacy.
Idk something about being directly told “I will not change, this is who I am, I’m not sacrificing anymore for you, I have nothing more to give” just feels like that’s that. Nothing left to fight for.

If anyone’s got advice I could really use some
