What things has your 13/14 month old picked up on or you taught them?

My son has figured out to throw trash in the trash can, like if he’s finished a pouch he’ll throw it away. He’ll also put his cup on the table sometimes he’ll just drop it on the floor.

But in therapy my therapist brought up my friends and how it makes me feel that they left me after I got into a relationship. I said it didn’t bother me, but then I saw one friend posts ...

My boyfriend and his games

My partner and I have been together for 2.5 years and I still feel like his phone and games mean more to him than his daughter and I. He won't get off of his phone to help me either if it's dinner time or even just to play with our daughter. I hate it. I hate it so much and every time I complain, he says we'll chang...

Formula feeding + Solids schedule

Hi mamas! Just wondering what are your feeding schedules or routines to offer formula feedings and solid foods. I’ve found myself struggling finding the appropriate window. As he seems to be full enough to not even wanting to touch foods or maybe too hungry so he only eats a few bites.

What are we feeding our picky 9 month olds?

I need meal ideas! My son is very picky & gags just by touching food sometimes. I offer him a lot but he eats maybe a bite if any. He does fine with whole banana, oatmeal, yogurt & purées, but I feel like I need to be doing more! I’m a little discouraged.
