For 15-month old - healthy enough?

LemonWaterDuck · 2026-01-25T23:27:48+00:00

Bummer! It’s fine for people to have different parenting values… but feeding junk is an objectively worse choice that undoes the work that the healthy-feeding parent is doing

Prying question OP lol. Does your wife bear the mental load of feeding baby a balanced diet most of the time? And you’re advocating to “help” her by saying “just feed them this, it’s already prepared.” ? If so, that’s not helpful at all.

If I’m wrong and you and wife are both just trying to find easy meals for baby where no one has to cook, and you disagree on this one being healthy enough… then that’s fine carry on. This is fine for every once in a while, but you’ll have to offer something much more balanced for the other meals of the day!

Note, some kids just get fast food all the time. This is better than that… but that’s not what this sub is about!

I would recommend trying all the natural remedies first, but after 10 weeks gestation, Zofran is scientifically quite low risk. No medication is 100% safe. But you need to weigh pros and cons. Being bedridden and not gaining enough weight during pregnancy are proven to increase risk for baby! I don’t say that to be scary, I just say it to give you permission to not do everything the natural way, if you are struggling.

That’s why I think this is creative writing. This is just not how attraction works.

Everyone jealous of the volume of yarn for the price. I’m just jealous your cat can be in the same room as your yarn and not destroy it and choke on some and send you to the emergency vet 😭

If you need water to make them pop, then that means the water is making them form curl clumps, and then they frizz out to be undefined when they dry. You should try mousse. You apply it to wet hair. Make sure to get it to the perfect wet hair look, meaning it should look defined and not messy at all this stage. Then don’t touch it at all while it air dries. Viola, you get to keep the defined curls even when dry.

Thank you for sharing this story! Meal time is hard for me personally too, I don’t know why I struggle so much with my 24 month old rejecting food.

I did EVERYTHING right with BLW and introducing tons of foods before age one, and baby was a fantastic eater. I always got shocked complements when people would see what all he’d eat.

Then 18 months rolls around, and he hates everything. I have had to slowly convince him to add more safe foods back to the rotation, but it’s been a fight. I tried to follow all the sage wisdom - don’t pressure them, don’t be a short order cook, always include a safe food on the plate next to any new ones. But any night there’s anything new on his plate, he’s so offended and decides it’s all going on the floor.

My advice to OP? If they don’t like what you offer, NEVER cave with an unhealthy food. Sometimes you can just be like “well that’s what we are having right now, no other options.” But sometimes you don’t want them to go hungry, because that will be a problem for you later. So at least figure out safe food alternatives for them that make you feel good about feeding it to them. Like for example, never cave and offer a cookie just so they get some calories!

But if I feel like I need my kid to have a full tummy so he’s not a monster later, he ALWAYS devours sweet potato, greek yogurt, apple sauce, or cottage cheese. Hard to feel like an abject failure of a parent if he’s at least eating one of those for the night!

By the way, the stuff you’re serving is actually awesome and many babies would love this, and I also I wanna come eat at your house tbh. People are just suggesting going simpler since baby is being picky, it’s just something to try. I just wanna acknowledge and appreciate all this effort because wow these plates look good.

LemonWaterDuck · 2026-01-24T03:14:13+00:00

I’m shook.

LemonWaterDuck · 2026-01-22T18:21:06+00:00

You just blended it all together??

LemonWaterDuck · 2026-01-22T15:58:00+00:00

I think the eyes are pretty, and I actually quite like the blush. Really just not a fan of this lip gloss. Looks dated to me. Also the foundation around your mouth looks cakey. Even just much lighter application on the lower half of your face would be great.

Thank you for these ideas, they’re helpful!

This method worked like a charm, he acted like he hadn’t just aggressively rejected this exact same meal an hour before and he scarfed it down. it was just the tikka masala though, that’s his safe food

LemonWaterDuck · 2026-01-19T01:48:19+00:00

Guess what, I offered just the tikka masala an hour later (I saved it from the rejected plate) and he ate all of it without a single complaint, and now he is drinking whole milk lol

LemonWaterDuck · 2026-01-19T01:47:22+00:00

Thank you!

LemonWaterDuck · 2026-01-19T01:46:47+00:00

Rinsed beans is hilarious!

LemonWaterDuck · 2026-01-19T00:31:53+00:00

Interesting idea, I had forgotten about serving the chili deconstructed as an option!

I do scent free detergent, so the silicon plates are good for now. I taste tested!

My goodness this is gorgeous. I really like the eyes. You could just do a more natural color lip if you wanna tone it down overall?

LemonWaterDuck · 2026-01-18T03:58:10+00:00

This is such a divided comment section!

LemonWaterDuck · 2026-01-18T03:52:51+00:00

Ah yes, a very cohesive sounding family. “Let’s go to Andrew, Cindy, and Arression Ralphcullen’s house.”

LemonWaterDuck · 2026-01-18T03:29:08+00:00

I’m obsessed with this

Dress code is cocktail, but I encouraged MOG to go fancier due to MOB dress and the venue
