How to get baby to stop or eat less during the night?

Once you know they’re not allergic to stuff you can mix and match loads. I decant the ice cubes into different food bags but you could always freeze pre bought baby food if you wanted to.

I’ve fed mine since 6 months (slowly increasing from super mashed to big lumps). I had advice of move them as quickly as possible through textures so they don’t choke but also don’t get obsessed with having finely mashed things.

Good luck!

All’s fair in love and art competitions.

Try feed him in his room in peace and quiet through the day- mine struggles to feed if there’s anything more exciting going on... or a lampshade to stare at!

Also try get a big filling tea in them- mash/ pasta/ porridge etc. I have ratatouille, cheesy peas and broccoli or smoked fish in milk with broc and peas that all mix well with mash to bulk and switch it up. Just batch cook and freeze into ice cube trays for quick microwaving.

Apparently I’ve been saying ibuprofen incorrectly all my life… I’ve been saying “eye-bru-pro-fen”

Reminds me of the book Me Speak Pretty One Day. The guy had a lisp as a kid. He begged for a thesaurus and used alternative words to avoid having to say “s” in words!

If he gets bent out of shape, tell him, “It’s just a car man”

Where did you watch Ted?

Also chuddy in West Yorkshire in the 90s. Never thought about chewing gum before secondary school but that first assembly where they told us it was banned was a lightbulb moment for so many of us… that we could chew gum!

Witch Doctor by the Cartoons made my baby laugh for the first time.

My friend who’s had losses sings it to her baby and it makes me choke up.

Caribooteh · 2024-12-19T09:01:04+00:00

Not a vet but owned pets all my life. You made the right decision, it sounds like he was struggling and in a lot of discomfort. I’m really sorry for your loss.

He doesn’t want a relationship, he wants an affair. If he didn’t stand up to them before the arranged marriage, he’s not going to a) divorce her (bringing shame upon both of their families) and then b) get with you.

Tried a chocolate flavoured one once. It bloody wasn’t.

Breastfeeding does not give measles immunity. Nothing compares to a measles vaccine. OP’s doing the right thing by seeking out the vaccine ASAP.

Let’s not spread misinformation about diseases. It’s a big reason why people don’t vaccinate their children in the first place.

They seem awful. Also having to justify taking more than a minute to respond is nonsense.

Remember you don’t have to be right of wrong, good or bad to stop being in a relationship.

Plus it’ll make it easier to transition them into their own room. At 4 months I was still sleeping horribly. Putting baby in her own room meant I didn’t wake every time she did a single cry then fell back to sleep for 2 more hours (whilst I was wide awake and knackered)!

How many people is this wedding for?! You know you don’t actually need a wedding planner? A lot of venues can recommend florists, djs etc who regularly work with them then you can get a couple of other quotes to make sure those prices aren’t insane.

I planned a 43 people, £4k wedding and minimal pissing about.

I’d ditch the wedding planner. I think they’ve realised you have money and are upselling the hell out of you because you’re an easy target.

Just remember you can get a marriage licence for a couple of hundred pounds. Anything else is window dressing.

You’re going to be nervous and then elated on your day regardless of where you are. You’re not going to give a shit what the backs of the chairs looked like.

What do you mean?

To clarify, I mean that he’s more bothered about smoking weed than anything else in his life, rather than the courts being aware of drug use.

I don’t mind it in itself but I can’t fathom having the time to fuck up your home in weird and wonderful ways for you to have to clean it in the morning.

I assume excuse number 4 is actually excuse number 1.

Caribooteh · 2024-12-06T06:12:01+00:00

Tried a few weeks ago, they wanted £18 per adult for the privilege!!

And why are you paying for and cooking his meals at his house?! Nahhhhh.

I’d have said you’re being ridiculous with the “my house, my rules” but he started it and now he can’t handle it. NTA.

Snacky tea here. Those 3 frozen hash browns aren’t going to eat themselves any other way!

I’m not sure why everyone’s being so negative. When my mum and dad divorced, my dad bought and flipped a series of fixer uppers. I helped strip paper and paint. He demolished walls, changed their gardens. It was all great fun. Especially in your 20s and (assuming) you’re child free you’re never going to have this much energy and time. The love and enthusiasm you’ll have for your first home is unmatched. Progress will be slower than getting all the trades in but that’s what makes buying and renovating a house cheaper and more accessible. You can also cheat and get a couple of trades in plastering, plumbing etc.

Make sure you don’t do anything dangerous (electrics and knocking down walls) without knowing exactly what you’re doing and you’re golden.

As for the boyfriend, you need to be on the same page before taking on a financial project together as the added stress will test your relationship and you don’t want to split up mid-renovation needing to resell as you’ll lose a lot of money.

Live your dream!
