My daughter is a very picky eater and has food allergies to top it off. How much does your baby eat in a typical day? (Solids)

Everything. Whatever we’re eating our daughter has to have some otherwise she’s not happy 😂 and if she’s not happy we give her food then she’s happy. Yet she’s a little dot and lightweight 🤷🏻‍♀️. Each babe is different ☺️

My son has 3 food allergies. Kinda picky
Breakfast meal: pancakes/waffles and a fruit
Snack: fruit or veggie he enjoys
Dinner: whatever we eat but he eats like half a meal

My daughter eats breakfast (1/2 scrambled egg, some fruit, and about half of a piece of toast w/ peanut butter), has a midday snack (rice rusk), and eats whatever I make for dinner! She really enjoys food so she finishes almost all of what we give her.

My daughter is waaay behind she’ll eat a few bites at mealtimes if I’m lucky…. I’m hoping she starts soon 😭

My boy eats so much🤣 he has breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and 2 snacks plus nursing 6 times a day.

She is not behind!!! Mine is 10 months old. We feed him twice day still on purées. He will eat a bit of scrambled eggs. Today he had apple sauce at lunch and for dinner. He has a sensitive tummy and gets constipated to the point he is screaming and I have to lube up a rectal thermometer to help him go. Baby led weaning scares the crap out of me. I have tried giving him more solid food but zero interest. He loves mushed up avocado, puréed blueberries, and yogurt except I thinking he has a dairy sensitivity (I don’t think it’s a full on allergy yet)

Because of his constipation we do lots of fruit, apple sauce, he just had puréed plums for the first time last night and loved them

Anything she can get her hands on i think she has an egg allergy but we don’t eat eggs often enough for it to be an issue but i do give her “just egg” when i want to make something that requires it .

Thanks for the responses ladies, I’m just going to keep offering

may I ask how much your daughter weighs? Ours eats everything but only weighs around 17lns for 10 months 😂

Yes that’s all you can do!! Our pedi told us even if he doesn’t eat still offer foods 3 times a day and he will start eating when he is ready!

My son spits everything out that isn’t his puree, & he has allergies as well. I feel defeated cuz he’s not shoveling down food like other babies but he’s just not ready! He’ll eat for real when he is! As will your girly!

she is 18lbs exclusively breastfed so she’s healthy but I want her to put on a little weight and get off the boob for longer than 2-3 hours 😂

im glad im not the only one, i know she’ll eat eventually but shes just not ready yet. She prefers her nice warm milk instead I guess I can’t blame her 😆

And it’s okay that she’s not ready!!! Let her enjoy her warm milkyssss for as long as she wants 🤣

I've finally done it

I have finally done it. I have finally become the trope, the stereotype.

I have become bitter, resentful, and very overwhelmed and overloaded. I am very unhappy and hit burnout. And I snapped at my husband last night. I work full-time, and work has been very busy so im working late a lot. Im also in grad school. I also have a toddler that has become VERY clingy with me. My husband works shorter days but commutes, so he usually gets home after me by an hour or more. When he gets home, he usually heads to the restroom for at least 30 mins when he gets home. And now my toddler doesnt want anything to do with him. So im doing all the toddler duties until bed. I dont get 5 mins to myself. Not for almost 2 years. I finally hit my wall. I have also, somehow, become my MILs medical ride service and she somehow has an appt every week, it seems?! Shes not sick!! My husband was complaining that he needs to change routine to fit in a workout sometimes, and I lost it. I have been BEGGING for 5 mins to myself for months. I have been telling him how im not good, im going to burn out for months. And between his attitude and him complaining (which really got me b/c he blames me for not being able to work out?! Saying I need help when he gets home so he just cant workout now) I just lost it completely. I told him how unfair my life has become and I have the entire mental and emotional load and it is just not fair. He got mad at me and said "hes trying" when hes literally not trying at all. What do I do?? No one is taking the load from me! And im done and dont know what to do now.
I do not like this version of me.

Is this clever or cruel?

My husband and i were talking and with social media and the internet in general being a terrifying dumpster fire, we are trying to figure out the best way to keep our son safe while still teaching him how to safely be online and moderation.

We landed on the idea of giving him the 90's kid treatment. A computer in the living room for us to keep an eye on what hes doing online, and once we feel hes mature enough to hang with friends without adult supervision he gets a flip phone. When we feel he is responsible enough and he earns and saves up the money for the physical phone, case, and screen cover, then we will be happy to take him to get a smart phone.

I thought this was air tight, but now my brother says its cruel to give a kid a flip phone, and besides he can just use his friends phones at school.

My husband and i remember a time before the internet, and we remember having complete access to something no one understood yet. We saw unspeakable things and are always battling with the urge to put the phone and social media down. I dont want that for my son, especially with his brain so vulnerable still.

If your partners parent passes away

And you and that parent didn't get along are you still go to the funeral?

Not my situation!

AITA?

This isn't a major issue, just wondering if I'm being a bit of an asshole.

• I do shift work, 5 out of 7 days, full-time.
• My partner works from home (mostly, sometimes he goes into the office) M-F, full-time.

Anyway, whenever I have a day off during the week he gets in his feelings when I make myself food (breakfast and lunch) but not him. His reason is he's working, I'm not - Which is fair but I've asked him how many times on a weekend has he gotten up, on his day off and made me breakfast and a lunch to take with me to work? You guessed it, 0.

So basically, just because I'm at home I don't think the responsibility to feed him should automatically fall on me when he manages to feed himself just fine while I'm at work.

Partner no longer wants baby #2

Before our son was born we originally both wanted minimum 2 kids but we were hoping for 3-4. My partner found the birth traumatic to watch and also struggled a lot with the newborn/baby stage. He no longer wants to have any more children and it’s completely breaking my heart. I need another baby. We’ve spoken about it a lot and the options. He said he wasn’t COMPLETELY closed off to it so I asked him to try and work through his feelings and reconsider his decision. He eventually said he definitely doesn’t want another. I know that I will always want one and my feelings will never change. Do we have to break up or does anyone know anything else I can do to help change his mind? Has anyone else’s partner said this and then changed their mind? I don’t want to break up because I adore him and our life together and I’d hate to split up our family for “selfish” reasons and make my son miss out on having both of us together but I just don’t know what to do

Nursery funding

My child turned 9 months last week. I applied for government funded hours nearly 2 months ago and so well within the required timeframe for the April term, however upon receiving my first invoice without the funding applied and having questioned this, I have now been informed that the stretched funding doesn’t start until 4th May.

Has anyone else been told it won’t start until May?

The government site states it should start from April 1st, and so I intentionally set my nursery start and return to work as the start of April for that reason, knowing that I wouldn’t be able to afford the nursery on my sole income without the funding
