Sharing

8.5 month old gone off solids

My little one has been good with solids since he started at 6 months. We've been doing a mix of purees and finger food since the beginning and he's usually given everything a good try. The last week or so he's been really fussy sometimes refusing whole meals. Has anyone else had this and got any advice?

My husband got a job after almost a year of tenuous employment but now he’s gone 10-14 hours a day

We got in a fight yesterday because he wasn’t helping me as much as I’d hoped but I’m honestly realizing that I have zero support (we both come from abusive families and we live in a college town. All of our friends moved away recently). He’s already doing more than enough especially considering how much he works ...
