Can someone tell me what the hell is wrong with my partner??

When did you stop whole milk / full fat milk for your toddler?

My LG still enjoys her milk, morning before breakfast, after lunch (small amount) and then night time just before bed after her bath. Is this still okay? She does have meals, not always full meals though.

Serving food to babies

This may be a silly question but why do 9 month olds need food cutting up into smaller pieces compared to younger babies? Is it purely because young babies need bigger bits to be able to hold?

Advent Calendars

Can you give me some ideas for Advent Calendars for 2 year olds? He doesn’t have chocolate so I don’t want it to be with that so maybe like a healthy snack? I can’t be asked to make my own as I am very pregnant 🤰🏼 and I would rather buy him something. It doesn’t have to be with food it can be anything TIA
