Dinner time

I think I went to bed without dinner, hope this helps 😂😂😭😭😭

@Courts(can’t see waves) so you never ate dinner?😂😅 that’s defo not an option for me lol I’d rather carrying on doing what Im doing and just eat later around 8/9pm

I’d just work around baba mrs, sometimes I ate dinner late late and others I managed with him in a bouncer ect 🥰 it’s very hard and they definitely know when foods on the go😂 my boy was the same xx

Or even the eat and hold 😂😭 xx

Do you baby wear? My 8 week old loves being in the sling. I cook and eat before we even thinking about doing the bed time routine

@Courts(can’t see waves) yeah I’ve done the eat and put baby on the lap a few times whilst he just stares and watches me eat 😂 but then 9/10 I drop dinner on him cos I’m too clumsy 😂😂 I guess it’s just my life now and the joys of mum life hahah!it’s just crazy to me how they know! X

When your partner is home you can prepare freezer meals and then when the day comes to eat them you pull them out and pop tu em in the oven! Sundays are great for the is at my house!

It takes a lot of bending at that age. We just ate dinner after our twins went to bed at 7:30. It sucks but that’s just how it had to be. Or we would plate our food and nip at it throughout the evening while taking care of them at the same time.

@Hayley I have got one yeah. You know I haven’t even thought about this and I only really use it when out and about 😂😂 thank you for this I’m going to try!! X

Do you eat whilst he’s still in the sling? X

Is moving his bed time back an option? My little man doesn’t go to bed until 9 and can quite happily sleep on and off until 5/6 not going to say he sleeps through sometimes he dose need resettled

@Stacey 🇵🇸 yeah I think I’ll have to just stick to the late night dinners and my partner will just have to wait 😂

I’m howling hahahaa, honestly the amount of times I dropped food on that poor boys head 😂 yup the joys😂😂 you will find a way and it will get better, eat when you can and around baba, even if it means he gets some spaghetti on his head 😂🥰

I baby wear, use the rocker, or use the swing to cook and sometimes just hold her when I can if she’s super cranky (I’ve got a toddler so all meals are a must) my husband either takes the baby or cooks if he’s home and then I hold her and eat if she won’t settle

@Courts(can’t see waves) honest to god 😂😂😂 or he’s throwing his arms about and ends up in the gravey hahahaha

Why are you eating at different times then baby? I make mine and babies food and feed him while I'm eating. He eats at the same time as everybody else.

HAHAHAH😂😂😭😭😭 now I’m getting spaghetti and all sorts flinging for my head, they get there karma eventually 😂 I hope you find something that works for you mrs xxxx

Sometimes we can get baby boy to go down in the pack and play. Other times he sits in his bouncer. If he needs to be held and is semi calm, (aka refusing bouncer and pack and play but calm in arms) my husband will cut up my food so I can eat one handed. And if he’s really fussy, hubby and I take turns passing him back and forth so one of us can eat while the other holds. Then we switch. Baby boy is also only 6 weeks old right now, and we don’t have a set dinner time or bedtime yet. We’re still working off of his schedule. We do the first part of evening downstairs in the living room, like after dinner, then head upstairs to bed around 10. That’s when he gets swaddled, fed, and put into the bassinet. Thats when we go to sleep too. If he’s gonna wake up at that time anyway, I’d rather keep him with me and then hubby and I get time to watch our shows together.

@Kas yes absolutely as long as he’s comfortable I keep it on. I can get my dinner out the way dishes washed and boom on the bed time saga. You might even mind he’s more easy to settle because he’s had that mummy time

Baby (8 months) sits in his high chair and we feed him at the same time as we eat. Sometimes a bit tricky, but we manage to eat somehow.

@Brianna because he’s 12 weeks old and doesn’t eat food?

@Kas ohh okok, my mistake, I read that as 12 months old. 😅 okok yeah I had troubles with that too lol. I put mine in his rocking thing and put alice in wonderland on and he fell asleep quickly with that lmao.

lol I read this as 20 months old too and wondered why you weren’t eating at the same time 🤣 it’s a blur but I’d just eat anywhere really, on the floor while supervising tummy time, on the sofa during contact naps etc, having it all cut up so you can eat one handed is always a good idea

At that age I just snacked more than anything or just reheated a meal id already made ... Now he eats dinner with me

Thank you lady’s xx

THIS! I put this theory to test and he proved me right! I think for like a week straight my baby would wake around 3/4am for a feed and it was when it was taking like 40mins to breastfeed and once it hit 5am I could never get back to sleep so I ended up getting up starting my day I’d go down and make myself an omelette wrap and every time I’d sit down to eat he would wake up So by the end of the week one morning I decided to deep clean the whole kitchen first before eating- it killed me, I filled up on water 🤣 i was at it for 2 hours, I ended up pouring my cereal and milk and I hear a murmur and I thought naaa can’t be so sat down and started eating, next minute I hear my husband moving from our bedroom to the nursery to change him 🙈 little bugger

@Chelsea 😂😂 this has made me laugh! Mine is exactly the same I could be sat chilling on my phone and not a peep out of him! The second I want to shower or eat he’s like na mum I need you😂

@Kas honestly! 🤣🤣they are such buggers aren’t they!

Hahaha my dude is 6 weeks and he NEVER lets us eat. It’s like he has some subconscious memory of the food he tasted in the womb. My partner and I take turns or wait until he’s literally passed out (when that happens is anyone’s guess so we either eat at like 5:30 or 10pm). I don’t get how he does it but he seems to ALWAYS interrupt!

We just used to lay her in her bassinet/bouncer and eat, if she was unsettled then I'd hold her in one arm and eat with the other lol. It's worse now at 11 months, as she stands up against the sofa and grabs my plate 😳🤣

I basically just ate with my baby in my lap for the first 6 months until she got interested in food then would happily play/eat/sit in her high hair

THIS!! But my partner holds him while I cook and then we put him down and just let him cry while we eat. Like he’s fed and changed and the only reason he’s crying is coz he wants to be held 24/7 so we literally just have to let him cry for 10 minutes so we can eat. It’s the only way. Going to buy an electric swing on payday as he doesn’t like his chair but that’s probably coz he can’t bounce it himself whereas I’m hoping ehe swing will soothe him while I eat. X

I bring my high chair or bouncer in the kitchen

@Skye best of luck!! I’ve got the electric jojo swing , play mat, bouncer and he has none of it unless he’s in my arms 😂 I find it difficult to let him cry aswell so 9 times out of ten I’ll pick him up cos my heart can’t take it😂😅 probably is where I’m going wrong lol xx

@Kas well he likes being in the car or the pram so I’m hoping it will Imitate that and he will like that too x
