Hunger strike curse finally broken 😅

My lo was on not eating strike for almost a month now. We almost had came down to milk and purées. But finally since last two days, baby she is back. She ate sooo well, I would keep staring her just to see her eat🥹. I hope we never go back to such strikes ever again 😅

9 months old not eating solids

Is anyone’s LO having a slower transition to solids? My 9 month old literally pushes his tongue out at the sight of solids. I keep offering, but I feel like I’m failing as a mum. Is it too early to ask his dr about feeding therapy, I don’t know if he’s struggling because he only has 2 bottom teeth. It’s really weigh...

First day in daycare

Hi mamas, my 22 month old went to daycare today for the first time. When I picked her up, they told me she did not eat anything at all. Also that she doesnt know how to use utensils and drink from an open cup and the rest of her class do it. Do your babies use utensils and open cups?

What should I do…..

My husband has a nasty habit of picking his toenails. (I am not gonna lie I bite my nails, BUT I THROW THEM IN THE TRASH!!!!!). So he throws them where he is sitting. The floor, the living room couch, the bed, the bathroom, anywhere in my house you will find them. I have asked him over and over to stop he won’t. I h...

Dropping food… again!

My daughter is throwing handfuls of her food onto the floor at the moment. My mum was with us for tea tonight and couldn’t believe I didn’t tell her off for it. But I thought we should just ignore it at this age? I’m not sure I want to tell her off as I really want her to enjoy being in her highchair and mealtimes. ...

What is your kids favorite thing to eat rn?

Mine love blueberries lately. Or anything breakfast it seems . . . . . . . Realistically, that is not what I wanted to ask. I just don’t want my husband to see this. As he has before and got mad I posted stuff. But I’m starting to think I’m in an abusive relationship. Not physically but mentally. I’m really down rig...

What’s our restaurant with a baby etiquette everyone?

Clean food drops under high chairs or not? Wipe the high chair and table after your messy eater? Ask a metal/plastic plate for your LO or carry your own? Or just go with a normal plate and hope for the best? Carrying your own water bottle or use a glass in a restaurant? Our son is normally well behaved in a resta...

Still scared to give certain foods

Just wondering if I'm alone in this, because I am still nervous to give certain foods. I don't give bread (we aren't bread eaters anyway, so don't even buy it, but it scares me) the way it goes soggy/stodgy, I'm worried it can get stuck. I also am nervous of hard foods like cucumber. I also don't give biscuits be...
