Am I a bad mom ?

Not a bad mom but I would start to introduce solids so that your LO gets used to different textures, tastes and learns to chew etc. you could start on purses and spoon feeding to see how your LO takes to it and then slowing increase to lumpier foods / whole foods in accordance with baby led weaning practices. It really doesn’t take that much to mash / puree some vegetables that you might have with lunch or dinner. You can even batch make and then freeze so then when it’s time for food, you just have to take out freezer and warm up.

My little one is 11 months and still loves to breastfeed but I would definitely start introducing food now before they get too picky. I think you are making feeding too much of a task. My baby’s first solid food was a French fry. 😂 you can start with just introducing safe soft foods that you are already eating. I took the 101 before one course which helped me with the overwhelm and focused on making meals you and baby can eat so you don’t have to make a separate meal for baby.

I’d just say a lazy mom. Which usually turns into a bad mom eventually. I’ve seen happen too many times. If you won’t go the extra mile for your child then who will? Try to be the best mom you can be. If you know that you’re just being lazy then simply don’t be lazy and do what’s best for your baby.

I totally get that its easier to get the boob out but you need to be persistent with the food as if they’re not used to it then they will spit it out. I started weaning my baby at 5.5 months and she spat most of it out because it was different but after feeding her every day she’s more used to it and eats more. It’s not hard to feed baby. I buy sainsburys own purée in the little packets so you literally don’t need to cook anything just warm it up for a few seconds in the microwave and it’s sorted. If you’re struggling to buy stuff like that then batch cooking is a good way too and pop it in the freezer. I get it’s so hard some days for motivation but sometimes you need to be disciplined to actually do what’s best for baby

I don’t think you are a bad mom at all, foods optional for under the age of one. It’s more to get them used to textures and tastes. Try your best to do more but you are by no means a bad mom. Maybe try prepping food for the week so all you have to do is warm up the food.

@Krystle foods optional under the age of one, it’s for fun

Dm me if you need some ideas on how to start your little💕

Just feed the baby whatever you are having

For people saying that food is optional for baby’s under one; once you start feeding your babies solids it’s truly not recommended that you stop, you’re supposed to feed them at least two solid meals a day after you start because their body starts to depend on it. And breast milk loses most of its nutritional value for babies after 6 months. So supplementing the vitamins in food is very important. It’s really not okay to decide not to give your child the nutrients they need just because you’re too lazy to.

@Samantha you are wrong, please stop giving out wrong information. If she has started giving her baby solids she can’t just go back to breast feeding exclusively. She should continue to feed her baby solids. Any sort of research would tell you this…

@Fel that is not wrong information, maybe you need to go read up again. If you read my comment you would see I didn’t tell her not to give her child solids, I simply said to try her best to get solids into the child. Sorry that attacking op and making her feel like a bad parent isn’t the way to go.

@Samantha omg I’m immediately done talking to you 🙄 you literally are wrong and how the hell is she being “attacked” ?!? Okay Karen. Bye.

@Samantha “foods are optional under one” literally false information. She had already posted that she fed her baby solids before. Therefor “optional” isn’t an option when it comes to feeding baby solids genius

@Krystle it’s literally ridiculous, but I guess we shouldn’t tell her that because it’s “attacking her” like??? Her child being healthy is more important than her feelings. Sorry. Tf

@Fel I disagree with everything I have looked up and talked to my doctor about. Milk should be the main form of nutrition. How you guys were talking to her was attacking, there’s nicer ways to say everything that you have said. Be a nicer human, hope this helps😀

@Fel you don’t even know this person why assume, this is clearly a first time mom. Maybe she’s going through things and that’s why she’s not wanted to make foods. That’s why I suggested meal prep, there’s other ways to go about things that don’t put the person down

@Samantha I’m literally not assuming anything. I’m going based off what she said genius. Like pay attention? wtf am I assuming?

@Krystle like I said she’s not told us her whole life story maybe she’s going through something mentally and needed people to be nice to her while still getting the point across. The fact is that she’s getting an opinion therefore not being a bad mom because she clearly realizes she has to start making sure baby has some solids. But there’s nothing saying they have to eat solids all the time

@Samantha she admitted to being lazy and she admitted to feeding her kid solids and then exclusively breastfeeding sometimes after introducing solids. Do you have two brain cells?

@Samantha you’re very clearly not smart. Breast milk loses most of its nutrients that a baby needs to survive after 6 months, and once again since you clearly have issues comprehending things SHE ALREADY INTRODUCED SOLIDS. You CANNOT introduce solids into a babies diet and then just stop. ARE YOU STUPID? Like how much clearer do I have to explain that?! Wherever you’re getting your info is wrong and if your doctor said that I would very literally get a different doctor, and I have a very hard time believing that your doctor even said that because it’s simply not true.

If she continues to feed her baby only breast milk after 6 months it would more than likely become malnourished.

@Krystle literally. I’m a first time mom of a 4 month old and have done so much research BECAUSE I CARE TO PUT MY CHILD FIRST! I seriously cannot stand dumbos that want to enable shitty moms and act like nothing any mom does can be wrong because they’re just “learning” like some things are obviously not okay wtf.

@Krystle someone on here legit admitted to smacking her toddler in the face for making a mess and everyone was in the comments like “you’re doing your best don’t be mad at yourself you’re a great mom blah blah blah” I’m like?!? She SMACKED her toddler in the fucking face because she made a mess… that’s NOT a good mom?! And the fact that it was in the face is a red ass flag 🤦🏽‍♀️

@Krystle it’s honestly heartbreaking the amount of enabling that goes on for grown ass women. Like what about the kids?!? wtf they’re innocent. No grown ass woman should be hitting a baby. Like learn how to control your fucking emotions. But then turn around and hit a kid for not being able to control theirs. The hypocrisy.

@Samantha and something tells me your doctor did NOT say that milk should be the main form of nutrition for an 11 month old 🤡 lying ass.

@Fel that is what everyone’s told everyone with children under the age of one

@Fel love how you guys made it about someone else’s post. This mom just wanted some advice not to be beat down

@Fel everyone says food before one is for fun, all I said is it’s not the worst thing. Yes she needs to get her eating more which is why I suggested prepping meals, unlike you guys who just passed judgements instead of helping the mom. Especially when you don’t know everything

@Samantha you literally just sound so ridiculous. Stop making yourself look even more dumb.

@Samantha who is everyone? Because I’ve literally never heard that. You’re literally just lying over and over again?

@Fel go in any of my baby led weaning groups and all of them would say food before one is for fun😂 clearly you haven’t done research so who’s lying?

@Krystle I offered to help her do research, what did you do to help? Oh rightttttt….

@Fel and again, I never said she shouldn’t feed solids. But it’s not going to harm the child, now she should start which is why I suggested prepping meals

@Krystle gee maybe some people want the option to have help, maybe she got overwhelmed with the solids. So why are we assuming?

@Krystle you don’t sound like a very supportive person, maybe try being a better human. Hope this helps 😀

@Krystle maybe she’s had mental health issues, maybe don’t assume hope this helps😀
