Would you use the same silicone dishes and cutlery for your 2nd baby for mealtimes? I have everything left over from my first baby who'll be 2 next month and everything is still good condition so I'm wondering if it's okay to reuse rather than buying totally new sets as money is a bit tight atm

Not necessarily picky eating but my son just doesn’t seem to have the desire to eat. I’ll offer say a hotdog for lunch which he used to love and now he says no. Last night was the first night in a while that he actually did really good on eating dinner and we had pasta but I offered pasta for lunch and he said no 🤷
