Frantic meal times?!

My baby is all over the place when we give her food. Arms and legs going wild, grabbing the plate, cup and just generally not very calm. Shes not upset or anything, just mental. She hates me cleaning her face and hands aswell. I’m not sure if its just her or if this is normal for 8 months?!

What are your babies eating/drinking

I know all babies are different but on average what are your 9 month olds eating in a day and how many bottles are they having? Do you still give them one in the night? Curious mostly and interested in the comparisons I’ve heard such different ends of the spectrum! 🤭

Eating out with little one

If you're out for food and LO is due some too, do you take your own with you to feed them or order from the menu for them? I've been taking my own but today the restaurant made it very clear they wanted me to order off the kids menu, not be giving little one his pouch, so just curious what the norm is!

Toddler eating habits

Does anyone else’s toddler eat like an absolute horse at nursery, and then barely anything at home? 🫠 I just don’t get it, my lo clears her plate every meal at nursery and I can barely get her to finish even half of her food at home. Mostly just ends up on the floor 🥲
