12mo eating

I feel like a failure. I was so afraid of BLW and started introducing solids later to my baby. Now she doesn’t like specific textures and her daycare says she doesn’t like to chew.

Screentime

We’ve always allowed our little one to have screentime. We both grew up with screens in our house and both turned out pretty fine!
