Plane food ideas

We’re flying with our 17 month old this weekend and I’m not sure what food would be best to pack for him. Even thought it’s just a 2 hour flight, between airport transfers and having to get to the airport early we’ll be travelling right during dinner time and by the time we land and get to our accommodation it’ll ...

8 month old routine

What is everyone routine for their 8 month old? Eg wake up, food, naps, bottles? Also I feel like I keep seeing 8 month old nearly always finishing their solids but most the time my little girl hardly eats anything, anyone else the same?

Breakfast (8 months)

Banana and blueberry oat pancakes, squashed blueberries, berry yogurt and cashew nut butter. This was the first time letting him have the plate so I served up less at first then offered him more once he’d eaten it all. Normally I would hand him a loaded spoon and leave the pancakes for him to grab.

Breakfast before bottle?

Little one is 7 months and is loving solids. I have been giving solids for breakfast and then an hour or so later a bottle. Did try switching it to bottle then breakfast but she then has zero interest in her food. Am I ok to give solids then finish off later with a bottle?

First week of weaning

We’ll be weaning soon, and I’m curious how I should start out. I know eat baby is different and will take to food at their own rate but I see some people doing the first week of weaning by just introducing a singular vegetable, but then others do something that more resembles an actual meal e.g avocado on toast and ...

Breakfast

How long does it take your baby to eat solids breakfast? Do you offer milk first or food first? I’m thinking as she approaches 12 months, I should offer food first.

Is it okay to send your kid to bed without dinner as a punishment?

My almost 3 year old yelled at me when I was asking her what she wanted for dinner, so my husband put her on a timeout which I was going to do anyway. He yelled at her and all that and sat her in the hallway for 15 minutes and told her to go to bed without dinner. I just don't think that's right but am I being soft?...
