10 month old stopped eating solids

My boy just suddenly stopped eating solids a few days ago and it’s stressing me out! He got on a pretty good routine of having 3 meals a day and he has started either not opening his mouth at all when I try to feed him or storing it all in his mouth then spitting it out. I’ve tried feeding him with utensils and lett...

Did you toddler go from being a pretty good eater to suddenly picky and won’t eat anything unless it’s the stuff she’s familiar with which is not the best 🥲. (Mac and cheese, always eating 1 fruit instead of trying others, etc.)

Went from liking stuff to thinking it’s the worse thing on the planet. Fed her all kinds of stuff that she actually liked and now she refuses if she thinks it’s nasty like what ??? I know she’ll like it too and she just doesn’t want to try it im so frustrated. Today was actually a good day and she ate this chicken t...

If I try and feed her myself she kicks off like crazy, she hates it… yet if I give her food so she can feed herself she takes ...

Has anyone got Dental Crown done on front tooth? Through NHS or private. Need some suggestions on private clinics with low cost. Or any other way I can reduce the total cost? I checked few places and for 1 tooth it’s around 1000 pounds.

When to call it quits?

My partner never communicates with me, just comes home when he pleases. Most nights 6.30-7pm even though he finishes work at 4, but sometimes finishes a 2. Leaves me to look after both kids, even though I’m working aswell. We’ve spoke about it so many times and keeps saying he will help more but he doesn’t. Is out m...

Fed up

My 15 month old fell from top to bottom of the stairs earlier. I had the stairs blocked and both me and my mum were up there with her but in separate rooms. I looked away for maybe 10 seconds and could hear her in the bathroom banging on the toilet seat. Next thing I heard was her falling down the stairs after she’d...

Childcare

If your parents joke around telling you that they'll give your baby inappropriate foods or do unsafe activities, would you allow them to take care of your baby?
