My little girl eats purees and regular food. I'm slowly transitioning her into bigger solids like shreddedchicken and soft veggies. TBH its the cooking hazard that keeps me from full transition.

I still do purées for the same reason.
Food under one is just for fun. 🤷🏼‍♀️ if you wanna start introducing some foods you can so he/she can get familiar w picking up foods you can! I do small gerber snacks or crackers , and wic gives cereal so I sometimes will get her the cheerios

I still give my daughter purées , mostly cause she only has 2 teeth but we give her real food from time to time (still soft foods like mashed potatoes and bread) to start helping her transition but she eats like most of the baby snacks like puffs, cheese puffs, teether crackers, etc so she’s already eating some food everyday but nothing overbearing for her at this time. Don’t stress about it.

So I have this problem with WIC too. My baby wouldn't eat them though so she kinda transitioned to solids at about 7 months old. Buttttt. I like making other stuff with them. 💜

I make my daughter food and she won’t eat it😂 she’ll only eat strawberries, hummus, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, and more hummus and strawberries. Lol

I feed her purées here and there so she can eat and I give her the pouches too. She likes anything with apple sauce!

I say just try introducing one soft vegetable or fruit at a time. It won’t be overwhelming on you or baby and it won’t break the bank either!

You could probably mix the purees into things to add protein, fruit or vegetables to things.

I do puree when I don't feel like making a meal. I also mix them with flour and make pancakes or little biscuits.
We like the cerebelly and serenity kids.

There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with feeding your baby purees if money is an issue and she still likes them. All you need is a happy, fed, growing baby. However you get there is just fine.

Also try mixing fruit purees with the cereal. My baby loved that and it helped me get rid of the cereal while filling him up good.

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?

Daycare?

Thoughts on daycare?? Truly, I am SCARED to be leaving my kid for daycare. I literally do not trust anyone, not even family (they haven’t given me a reason it’s just trust issues on my end, you never know). He’s turning 3 and I’ve been a sahm the whole time but tbh my man doesn’t make enough for us to move out somewhere more calm . We live in a ‘not so safe’ area in LA and I’m just not used to living here so I just want us to give my son a better life and in order to speed up the process I would have to work.. I do lashes at home and I’d be open to take new clients so I wouldn’t have to look for work but I’m just scared to lose my license 😭

Tablet for kids

Alright don’t need any negative Nancy’s telling me not to get my 2yo a tablet so if that’s what your gunna do please don’t participate in my poll.

We’re about to move cross country 3+ day trip and my 2yo and 9m hate the car I’m talking scream their heads off till they are out of their seats. We’ve already changed car seats and it didn’t help so I’d like to at least have one entertained and sit next to baby and try and distract her or put her to sleep. Our new car has tvs but since they are rear faced my 2yo can’t see it.

Debating getting her a tablet or dvd player right now on long car rides I end up giving her my phone because I get so overwhelmed sitting in between both of them screaming and crying.

And yes I do bring different toys I bring snacks I play songs try to distract her other ways but for the sake of not losing my mind on this move I think this is best.

-A very overwhelmed and anxious to move mama 😓

Separation Anxiety

My baby is nearly 6 months old and has just entered the separation anxiety stage… this evening I was trying to cook dinner whilst my husband was with the baby and he was just crying every time he couldn’t see me, with full blown hysterical sobbing, and as soon as he saw me again he started giggling and smiling. Any tips on how to stop this? And how long might this phase last?
My husband felt pretty disheartened and upset 😢
