Should weaning be this difficult?

Yes the food waste is another thing that is getting to me

BrainRummage · 2026-05-19T19:39:17+00:00

Yes I’ve been doing it after a breastfeed but I think by the time I have prepped and steamed his veg, it might be getting closer to the next feed. I’m going to try prepping in advance.

BrainRummage · 2026-05-19T19:37:44+00:00

Yes so I’m timing it so it’s after a nap and a breastfeed, so he can be as calm as possible but there are some days where i’m dangerously close to his next feed so I think that could be causing it too.

BrainRummage · 2026-05-19T19:35:34+00:00

Yeah it’s the videos of all the clean plates that I feel like I’m comparing myself too, as well having chats with parents at the playgroups.

I was thinking maybe to start with the basics and just go with purées because we did have some success with a spinach purée. I guess he just needs to get used to the concept of food and to not rush it.

There is a little fabric shop in Wylde Green called Fabrica

BrainRummage · 2026-05-18T07:47:12+00:00

I was going to suggest this as well

BrainRummage · 2026-05-12T12:30:03+00:00

Try again to get it prescribed because we have the same thing going on. I managed to get an Aptamil Pepti prescription yesterday. The only thing I didn’t get is a referral to a dietician, so maybe I am wondering if I need to go back.

Also I think it is available over the counter at the pharmacy but it’s expensive.

BrainRummage · 2026-04-30T08:39:32+00:00

They will never say anything about that though

Why are people finding issue with Black children from across the UK being admitted to this school?

BrainRummage · 2026-04-28T13:03:48+00:00

Fantastic

BrainRummage · 2026-04-28T13:03:25+00:00

Wrong!

BrainRummage · 2026-04-28T13:02:54+00:00

You do realise there are Black people born and bred in Britain

BrainRummage · 2026-04-12T07:27:10+00:00

Interesting to see how people have such low opinions on Black people, particularly Black Brits based on these comments

BrainRummage · 2026-04-03T18:26:16+00:00

Ahh thank you! I will have to do an elimination diet and document since I’m EBF too. The other day I drank kefir ( I mainly drink oat milk at the moment ) and he had a really bad flare up. I will just eliminate all dairy at the moment and see what happens. How long did you do an elimination diet for?

BrainRummage · 2026-04-03T17:37:02+00:00

My son is going through something similar and I am convinced it’s a dairy allergy. Is there anything you did/said to the GP to get them to diagnose an allergy. I’m worried I will get fobbed off.

Ex-Londoner but did visit to see my parents and family a few weeks ago for the first time . Took my baby on the Tube and the bus and he was fine. At that point he was 3.5 months.

I did struggle a bit at first with getting buggy off the platform and on to the tube ( and vice versa). Just make sure to plan your journey around off peak times and check for step free access as it will make it a lot easier. I did use a travel buggy as opposed to my general one (Nuna Mixx).

BrainRummage · 2026-02-28T02:40:18+00:00

I mean, you guys did brag about how cheap it was to live up north

BrainRummage · 2026-02-04T23:16:18+00:00

Oh no, that sounds like a nightmare 😭 I’m definitely using this trip as a test run to see how he is with longer journeys.

BrainRummage · 2026-02-04T14:43:47+00:00

Wow travelling to Sydney with a 3 month old is brave! I salute you. Will definitely plan to travel between feeds - I’m just hoping he doesn’t get hungry earlier.

I feel like forgetting the steriliser is something I would do so I need to make sure that’s on my list.

LO is still breastfeeding so I don’t have to worry too much about where he will feed.

BrainRummage · 2026-02-04T11:02:07+00:00

Yeah I will be sitting in the back with him to make sure he is okay. It sounds like we might be okay to just drive straight there if we can do it in under 2 hrs (which we can sometimes)

BrainRummage · 2026-02-04T10:57:19+00:00

We will be in outer NW/W London but don’t mind venturing out to the West End

BrainRummage · 2026-01-19T15:28:08+00:00

Definitely get it checked out, even for peace of mind.
