Was advised by doctor and NHS 6 months - I mean everyone different but why feed baby food when you don’t have to??? They get enough from milk until 6 months 😁

Avatar

I started feeding at 5 1/2 months and i went right to baby led weaning....... no purée on my end ....... and my lo eats everything........

3.5 months. He was really constipated and our pediatrician recommended prunes to get everything moving. He absolutely loved it and up until 4.5 months, he was getting one "meal" a day. Now he gets between 2 and 3 "meals" a day depending on our schedule.

4.5-5 months! Followed by BLW.

6 month but my little didnt actually eat a cup until 10 months

Avatar

My daughter was 5.5 months.

We skipped purées but started letting her self-feed soft foods around 5.5-6m. The recommendations are 6m but we found it hard to wait that long because she wanted what we had. Doc said 5.5 was fine. Also gave her gerber puffs and baby Mum mums at this time.

Started introducing them at about 5-6 months, but I always made my own so I could add seasonings and things. I make a variety of foods and want him to taste all the flavors :) he’s 10 months now and eats everything

4.5 months, Cereal. And a week later 1tsp of puree in the evening too. And then added a mum mum biscuit during the day. Gradually increased amounts of different things each day.

Avatar

4 month... According to our pediatrician it lower the chances of food allergies...

We stared at 3 months. I would advise making your own purées!

He has no respect for anything to do with me.

Husband and I decided to separate 3 days ago. I've been sleeping on the floor in the kids room, and we both have to stay in the same apartment for a while. He wont stop pushing little things and I am reaching my limit. Photos in comments

Toddlers

How often are your toddlers asking for food? My oldest who is 3 just finished a whole plate of food and not even 10 minutes later he’s requesting more food. I know he’s going through a growth spurt, but how do you respond to this.

Is this normal?

Is it just my husband that does this? He is able to work from home via his computer and in the mornings and evenings he is on there doing his job. When he is done for the day he tends to stay in the room and either play video games or watch something. He will occasionally come out and play with the girls for a few minutes and that’s it but when I really need him he says he is busy. My daughters are both 1 year old now and I am just wondering how much involvement should he have with them now?
Idk if this is the norm or not…..

Saying NO to buying toys etc

5 year old is getting really envious of others. He is obsessed with items that other kids have at school. I am pestered daily to buy these things in a different style when we already have 3 others. I have seen parents just buying stuff their kid likes which I don't necessarily agree with even when i can afford it. How do you deal with it?

Identity crisis?

Am I the only sahm who feels like they have lost their identity??? I don’t make money for my family, when I used to make great money. But I refuse to drop my under a year old baby off with strangers.
My husband works so much. But I have no control over bringing in money and I’m a control freak type of person! I feel l like I’m losing my grip because we are kind of broke, but day care would only eat up my income anyways! So what’s the point. I’m a workaholic and now I’m just a twitching bum.
I wish I could work from home but so far that’s a fake dream. I’m almost 9 months pp, and I just need to know these awful mood swings and depression will end soon! Send wine!
