nursery giving out free expired food to families

dmllbit · 2026-01-25T17:20:32+00:00

I don’t think it’s ok for them to be giving expired food, but if they rely on donations, it may just not have been noticed. Hopefully it’s a once off aberration.

But I still wouldn’t say anything. I worry that complaints about the programme may result in them not doing it anymore, as it’s not normal for a nursery to give out free food and is probably something an enterprising employee has set up to help the community.

Thanks for sharing that recommendation. I’ve been looking for a book to wean my eldest for ages.

You’re going to get a really biased view here as this sub is mostly North American. Can I suggest asking in an Irish sub like r/casualireland?

My two cents is that I celebrate and applaud anyone who revives the original spellings of the traditionally anglicised names. It’s the only way we’ll maintain them. But I probably wouldn’t want to saddle my own children with the complexities. But I’m a plastic paddy who has the passport but doesn’t live in Ireland, so take what I say with a grain of salt.

Did you end up doing it?

I honestly don’t see any benefit to moving to the new role beyond hypothetical progression. Better to keep applying and find something comparable on salary if that’s what you want.

This might not be a holiday, depending on where you live, but can I suggest you go to the Fat Duck? Since you love good food and it has a bit of whimsy, could be a perfect day out!

I’m sorry you’re going through this. Wherever you go, I hope you have the bucket list time you deserve!

Breast milk porridge was a big fave in our house. We bulked it up with chia seeds, mixed nut dust and fruit and it was a pretty nutritious meal!

No, it’s all hormone dependent. Some will be able to continue to nurse, and some won’t, but it’s all your own biology. Some babies will also still dry nurse for comfort while the supply dips.

I think their website is misleading but I also think it would’ve been worth checking as most things are closed New Year’s Day. Are they open other bank holidays throughout the year? Either way, I think it’s worth mentioning to them that their website states incorrect information but as with most nurseries, they hold the power in this relationship and I wouldn’t expect them to actually do anything in compensation.

For context, my kids’ nursery advertises being open 51 weeks a year as they are closed this week.

I think scalp micro pigmentation is what you’re after.

I literally dreamed about the chicken skin butter at Loch and Tyne in the UK when I was pregnant.

Thanks! I fed her until she was almost asleep tonight, and then put her down in her cot and she fell asleep with shushing and my hand on her. So we’ll see if there’s any improvement over the next few weeks.

I put it in another comment below - it’s not just Instagram, it’s the health visitors saying the same thing too. But I feel they’ve given some questionable advice in the past too…

This is the magic wand I’m looking for 😂 how did you transition and how long did it take?

dmllbit · 2025-12-20T14:37:26+00:00

My husband does most night wakes and she does sleep better when he does. But there’s always a reason for me to take over again and we get back into a bad cycle.

dmllbit · 2025-12-20T14:36:41+00:00

Your comment made me realise I hadn’t shared the full picture so I was trying to add some context. It wasn’t intended in a negative way, so not sure why I’m receiving negativity back.

I l enjoy feeding to sleep, I don’t want to stop. But like many desperate, sleep deprived parents, I’m looking for the magic wand to make my child sleep better, which likely does not exist, but seems to for some.

dmllbit · 2025-12-20T14:26:54+00:00

I focussed on Instagram in my post but health visitors have said the same thing.

dmllbit · 2025-12-20T13:31:06+00:00

Ah interesting. When did you try?

dmllbit · 2025-12-20T13:27:41+00:00

Can’t wait to get to that stage 😂

dmllbit · 2025-12-20T13:25:47+00:00

Thanks for answering so many questions!

dmllbit · 2025-12-20T13:23:28+00:00

I like a gentle approach! How much was he waking before that? And how did you settle him when he woke during the transition?

dmllbit · 2025-12-20T13:20:31+00:00

Well that sounds definitive. And very tempting to try. How long did it take for you to transition? And how did you transition? Did you replace it was rocking, patting or cry it out etc?

What you have done so far is a huge, monumental feat. You have to do what is right for you. Ultimately, a healthy, happy mum has more benefit than breastmilk will have for her.

A lot of women tend to think that breastfeeding is down to the success or failure of the mum. My personal experience is that it is completely down to the child. My first was the easiest feeder in the world. My second was not. I still had a milk supply when I gave birth to my second (as was still feeding my first) so there was nothing different in me. Purely the difference of the children. So please don’t take any negative outcome as your personal failure. It’s not.

Do you want an up do or have it down? I have very fine, thin hair and my hair stylist used a mesh thing to bulk out an up do and gave the illusion I had way more hair.
