Fruit teether? Is it safe at 4 months?

I know you’re not supposed to start solids until 6 months but my baby girl seems to be teething. She is constantly chewing on her hands and won’t take a pacifier or regular teether. She’s also drooling a lot. The packaging says 4 months has anyone else started or tried it before at this age?

Lunch/dinner ideas

I have a toddler who is always a guessing game on food. A husband who doesn’t like vegetables or seafood. Looking new ideas. Veggies can be on the side. Doesn’t have to be cheap cheap but not 40$ dinners unless it’s going to be a lot for leftovers. Pinterest is just showing noodles and chicken. Need help!!

Greek Yoghurt

Any ideas for things I could mix in Geek Yoghurt to make it more appetising for a 7 month old? I’ve tried blueberries but feel they don’t burst enough to give the juice alone - if that makes sense :/

Food

He took a liking to Heinz porridge ...

Do your little ones sit still when you are feeding them their food?

My little boy throws himself around and constantly moves his head. He does eat it eventually and he does seem like he’s enjoying it but just trying to keep his attention whilst I’m feeding him is hard work🙈
