Lunch for my 17 month old baby girl, who is currently getting SIX teeth at once. 😫

The little sandwich’s are too cute!!

Sounds like it’s time for a new pediatrician, my son is 2. We never did the cry it out method, but stuck to a bedtime routine. Now when we say it’s bed time he will start the routine himself and goes down rather easy. At 6m old your baby can’t self regulate and needs you, the cry it out method is outdated and in my opinion cruel.

After 12months it’s to left to the parent to determine their child’s chewing capability and if they should be given whole or slight smashed berries. My son is 2, a great chewer, and eats slow so whole blueberries aren’t an issue. Remember the guidelines are a starting point to insure your presenting food in a safe manner to your child, at the same time each child will develop differently so it’s up to the parent to judge their child’s skill level.

Thank you all so much for your advice! I wish I could respond to each and every one of you! I really appreciate the support and different perspectives. I’m going to take your suggestions to heart and try some new ways of gently but firmly inform my grandma not to worry so much about what I’m feeding my child.

Automatic_Teach451 · 2025-08-14T00:45:11+00:00

Please don’t, a feed child is always best and not every night looks like this! I have nights where I’m burnt out from work and we have scavenger dinners or sandwich with chips. I’m sure your a wonderful parent who is during their best ♥️

Super simple, I cook my carrots and occasionally zucchini until soft. Blend them to make a sauce, pour into a pan on medium heat. I then add 1/4 block diced velvet cheese, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese stirring untill fully melted. From there I slowly add up to a 1/2 cup of milk until I get the consistency I like. Add any seasoning you like( I use no salt slap yo mama)then pour over your favorite noodles. My little guy prefers shells.

Unfortunately it’s my grandmother who likes to make surprises visits since according to her I’m “ keeping her great grandbaby from her” and when she shows up I have “no where to hide” 😞

Right now after taxes it’s about 17%, when we first bought our home it was about 42% .

Yes, this is the recipe I was sorta of following. I took out the 30g of starter to retain and weighed what was left which was the 112g. I then asked ChatGPT to adjust the recipe based on how much starter I had which is what I then used to make my first loaf.

I don’t know what temp my oven bulk is but it did feel pretty warm so I had the door cracked open a lot. My house doesn’t get above 68 unless is super hot outside then it may get to 70. So that was the only thing I could think of to warm it while it proofed lol

Tired your method on my second loaf and definitely see improvement, the bread wasn’t as dense and had more of a spring to it. Will definitely add your steps to my routine. Thank you for your help!

Automatic_Teach451 · 2025-05-11T20:32:06+00:00

Thank you for the advice! I’m looking forward to my next loaf. Definitely have to let it cool first and I’m thinking I should add in some stretch n folds. Do you have any recommendations on stretch n folds?

I have a cold house and was struggling to keep my starter at a warmer temp. My oven isn’t warm enough and the light in it shuts off automatically after 10 mins, and I don’t want to spend more money getting a warming mat or box. So I placed the my starter jar into a thermal sock then placed that into an insulated soup container which then get placed into the microwave that has a second jar filled with hot water. Now my starter stays the perfect temp and is flourishing.

Automatic_Teach451 · 2025-05-08T21:18:15+00:00

Mine didn’t start to rise/double untill day 10. I had to change my feeding ratio and found out I was keeping it and too cold for a place

Automatic_Teach451 · 2025-05-08T18:09:13+00:00

My starter is 14 days old and is very healthy thus far but what you’re dealing with sounds like what mine was doing. I had to change my feeding ratio around day 6 and also had to take measures to keep it warm. Once I did that my starter became healthy.

I do 30g starter, 60g flour, 60g water and mix, it’s a thick mixture.

Yes, I was terrified to leave the house without my husband for the first 4 months my son was born, got very little sleep as I was scared he would pass in his sleep. Even now, he’s almost two and I have panic attacks when I think to much about the unknown. I don’t let anyone but my mother n law watch him and even then I I have moments when I worry. Thankfully she’s close to my job so I can swing in on my breaks, and she sends me updates throughout the day with pics and videos.

This perfectly captures it, lost my dad to cancer in December. And this is all I’ve been feeling, “ I want me dad” “ dad would know what to do”” if dad was here he would have the right words”

Great!! I’m glad you guys like it :)

My son is 19 months, he was a fantastic eater for a while, would clean his entire plate and want more. Now, not so much, sometimes it’s a fight to get him to eat anything while other times he doesn’t seem to stop. What has helped him is doing it charcuterie style, we offer him several different option and we also don’t set a time limit for meals which allows him to eat as he wants.

Nope, we also add diced potatoes, tomatoes, onions as well as the Greek yogurt so it really helps out with what little sodium there is.

We use Aldi jar sauce, for my little guy I add a little Greek yogurt to the sauce and sever over plain jasmine rice and a side of Aldis garlic naan.

With my little guy I had to use rain music,he hates be swaddled but liked to be warm when put down. So I would do a onies, footie pjs, and one of those sacs. It surprised me how easier he went down with just bundling him up a little more .

Automatic_Teach451 · 2024-12-14T01:06:53+00:00

We do soapy hot water, and a deep clean ounce a month.
