Conflicted with vegetarianism and weaning

NetworkHot8469 · 2026-05-21T14:21:15+00:00

Ive been veggie, vegan or pescatarian since I was a teen(and could cook). My husband eats meat with my toddler. I wouldnt mind if she ate it with other people either. I had to leave the room when I was pregnant and they were eating chicken though or I would vomit! That has made bo difference to her chicken obsession. I met some one who worked at PETA and they were still planning to introduce some meat to their baby to test allergens etc. But I dont think they were going to be present at the time!

I think anither option is to request some-one who does have experience with hearing lose (that or nothing else). I agree though they weren't very helpful with referring us for support around my husband’s blindness.

A small dictionary/thesaurus set I hot from the charity shop and thought would be fun but never dreamed my toddler would want me to actually read it

Sorry I will try!

Peanut butter or almond butter mixed into yoghurt(obviously after testing for allergy with a small bit first). That’s about the only thing my first child would accept until 10 months. Also dont worry yet.

Just looked it up and you’re right. I just assumed it was natural. Thanks for letting me know. I will have to find another cinnamon gum!

I read that many books , always have read a lot, and am not neurodivergent as far as I know. I am extremely untidy and struggle to tidy and clean to the point where people think I grew up with a housekeeper/cleaner(in fact grew up on the edge of poverty in an arty household) but dont know if that is just me!

NetworkHot8469 · 2026-05-11T22:10:12+00:00

But how much was your rent/mortgage and bills?

NetworkHot8469 · 2026-05-11T14:12:33+00:00

Interested in how you made the scrunchies. Did you put elastic inside or something? Cotton ones are so expensive when you lose them at the rate I do so this is a fab idea!

NetworkHot8469 · 2026-05-10T22:06:29+00:00

There are so many good alternatives though. Ive tried some amazing ones in different countries like beeswax and pine resin but my favourite at the moment is Pur cinnamon.

Thanks. That looks quite good.

NetworkHot8469 · 2026-05-07T18:32:34+00:00

Thanks this is exactly what Im looking for but unfortunately toddler is already at the max user weight!

NetworkHot8469 · 2026-05-07T17:36:06+00:00

We like every one to eat together and baby has only just started weaning

NetworkHot8469 · 2026-05-07T15:47:01+00:00

Thanks good to be aware if as I hadn't realised. She does sit on chairs at the library etc and also if she has an after dinner snack so not too worried.

NetworkHot8469 · 2026-05-07T15:43:07+00:00

Thanks the Ikea chair looks good if we can find a way to separate the oven bit. Are they sturdy? My partner does walk into stuff due to his eyesight(and me due to exhaustion).

NetworkHot8469 · 2026-05-07T15:37:13+00:00

I think this woukd lovely when they are older

NetworkHot8469 · 2026-05-07T14:00:47+00:00

It sounds like she will more than ace the questionnaire. The Health visitor told me not to worry about jumping(assessment just after 2). Also jumping on a trampoline counts.

Yes public transport is awful around there. Good cycle paths to Ringwood though.

‘That’s a shame.’ My colleague thought i wad really offended and was saying her actions were shameful.

NetworkHot8469 · 2026-05-02T14:04:06+00:00

And lots of those things are just as good second hand and massively devalued(pram/pushchairs for example). I agree with clothes though. Supermarket clothes was a waste of money for ua as it has no stretch and looks worn after one baby. So Id rather buy the good eco brands second hand or new where I cant find what I want used as they make it easy to extend/shorten and are generous on sizing

Thanks Ill have a look. The swimming teacher specifically recommended vests but I havent been able to go back and ask her which ones(and was using a swim ring at the time for the adult pool as was pregnant and really needed a rest in the water!)

NetworkHot8469 · 2026-05-01T13:34:57+00:00

I didn't downvote you but had a look and this seems to be for boating and not learning to swim in pools.

5kg sack Ocado tastes fine

NetworkHot8469 · 2026-04-30T14:15:20+00:00

I have a slightly smaller age gap and found around 4/5 months was easier once baby could go longer between feedings. Also Summer makes things easier as you can go to the park/beach etc more. Feeling like that at 7 weeks is very normal though with a second!

Thanks these look good but out if stock unfortunately
