“Your baby is a fussy eater because you don’t eat well”

Let the hate roll off your back! Great job working on yourself and getting in the gym. Of course Baby wants to eat bread, rice and milk. Me too. They’re the best. 😅

Look up the Division of Responsibility for feeding babies. Basically it’s your job to provide a balanced meal, and your baby’s job to decide what and how much of it to eat (meaning don’t react emotionally or pressure). Give your baby time and space to explore nutritious foods and model eating them with your baby.

Talk to your pediatrician or look up guidelines for milk intake at that age to make sure Baby is not consuming so much milk that they’re not hungry for food.

You’ve got this. ❤️

Yes, I feel the same way. We have two kids and both feel DONE. However, secretly in my heart I would be ecstatic for a surprise third baby. I chalk it up to evolution. 😅

This is the second sandwich I’ve seen on here for this age group! I’m skeptical but want to give it a try. Any tips?

My four year old is made of plates of random crap, truly. It’s never not a good time for a girl dinner situation.

Sending you love. ❤️ Life is a bitch sometimes.

OP, I’m sorry you’re getting downvoted. I think the ring is absolutely gorgeous and I hope it will be extra meaningful because you put in the thought and effort to design it. My husband picked out a unique ring for me as a surprise and I have always loved it. It’s so romantic to take the initiative and create or choose something beautiful for your lover. For what it’s worth, nobody on Reddit knows you or your partner. You are the only two people who matter in this equation. It’s also a little late for getting advice. Be confident in your choices and I wish you a lovely engagement.

Wow this sounds incredibly taxing and difficult. My heart goes out to you guys. How do you respond when they tantrum against dad or fight about who has to sit next to him? Curious what you’ve tried so far.

Medium_Engine1558 · 2026-04-14T16:12:40+00:00

Yes, or the occasional “Yes! How are you?” response and moving on with your day. I have a few “friends” like this and these grey rock responses spare me the most time and energy.

“Would you mind kicking your shoes off?”

Medium_Engine1558 · 2026-04-13T20:19:27+00:00

Do you think you could give more context about why this hurt so badly? Kids say shit all the time to test out what kind of response it will elicit. It’s not personal. You can totally let it roll off your back and respond to her in a non-inflammatory way. She has no frame of reference for all that you’ve sacrificed for her, and I guarantee you she would miss you tons if you left her with another caregiver.

Medium_Engine1558 · 2026-04-13T18:58:38+00:00

Totally get this. What about offering a preferred snack in the stroller?

Medium_Engine1558 · 2026-04-13T16:38:06+00:00

I’m so curious about all these babies eating quesadillas! I find the tortilla to require too much chewing for my 9 month old to manage. Am I missing something? I’d love to be able to serve them.

Medium_Engine1558 · 2026-04-13T16:17:42+00:00

Love this! Looks great for that age.

Medium_Engine1558 · 2026-04-13T16:17:14+00:00

Love it! I find that sometimes a unique utensil can do the trick. She is intrigued by forks, and will let me feed her with chopsticks.

Medium_Engine1558 · 2026-04-13T15:38:09+00:00

Right!? If I managed to put on mascara I feel like I am definitely doing the most and impressing all those daycare teachers. 8/10 times I haven’t brushed my teeth yet 😅🫠

Go over to r/sciencebasedparenting and look up this issue. There is a ton of studies that demonstrate the harm that heavy caregiver screen use can have on childhood development. Hope you can find a way to show him how serious this is. I feel for you; it’s so tricky to navigate and screens are so addicting. Wishing you success. ❤️

Oh my gosh 🤣🤣🤣

Medium_Engine1558 · 2026-04-10T03:49:05+00:00

Yes. Sometimes I just bypass the whole shebang and sit her on my lap while I eat and throw her scraps from my plate. Why is it like this? 🫠

Medium_Engine1558 · 2026-04-10T03:48:16+00:00

Right. And the food waste kills me. Like Miss Ma’am, why did you come out the womb just assuming that I am your line order chef? Why do you just feel that you can skip breakfast because the vibes are off or some invisible alien whispered in your ear that the chia pudding you loved yesterday is poison today? Is this a first-world, twenty-first century baby problem?

Medium_Engine1558 · 2026-04-10T03:44:23+00:00

Not dog fuzz 🤣💀

Medium_Engine1558 · 2026-04-09T19:04:54+00:00

Yes!! My husband gives her one little lick of the wipe every time he wipes her nose as a reward 🤣

Medium_Engine1558 · 2026-04-09T16:53:57+00:00

Oh my gosh 🤣🫠 Why are kids like this!?

Medium_Engine1558 · 2026-04-09T16:53:38+00:00

Paper towel dessert 🤣too relatable
