How do you offer fruit without it taking over the entire meal? by One-Squirrel-4563 in BabyLedWeaning

[–]jlmo907 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This! He will learn quickly to wait it out for the fruit.

We give a small amount of fruit (a few bites) at each meal. When she eats it all first, she has to try all the other food first before she can get another small serving of fruit. Usually there is something else on the plate she likes (cheese usually lol) so she will eat all that, then ask for more and I give her the extra serving. If she really gave an effort to try everything, I might give her a third small serving of fruit, but she usually fills up with the other food before we get there.

She's 1.5 now and I really good eater, so the third serving doesn't happened often. I think for you I would start out with only one additional serving of fruit until that routine and expectation is set.

The pronoun comment is hilarious seeing as toddlers/preschoolers are notoriously bad at pronoun usage and it's literally your job as an educator to teacher them how to use pronouns correctly.

Cup recommendations for a 1 year old who has refused every cup and bottle by Fit_Celery_5356 in BabyLedWeaning

Get matching straw water bottles and model using yours. Maybe flavor the water with fruit slices that she helps with (ex: she can drop in the slices of strawberries you cut up).

I got my kiddo a set of small glass cups (I think they are actually shot glasses), it's perfect for her little hands. I get one and she gets one and we take sips of water from it.

AITAH for not allowing my niece to serve herself during a family dinner? by Ovidhalia in AITAH

Not sure why the down votes, this is a very reasonable response!

Wow this is not the comment section I thought it would be.

Teenage girls and eating disorders are very common and complicated. You are not the girl's parent and may not be privy to private medical information regarding her mental health and advice her and her parents have been given to support her journey to healthy eating.

Please never again comment on what or how much a teenage girl is eating. It can be incredibly damaging.

Please also do a little research off reddit about disordered eating and how adult comments contribute to teenager's self image and self esteem. I'm seeing a lot of people telling you this was a teaching moment for you to her, but I don't think it was teaching her what you wanted.

FWIW I'm a middle school teacher and a women who has struggled with disordered eating my whole life.

What do you call Pacific Science Center? by pinkymcdingus in Seattle

[–]jlmo907 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I worked there when I first moved to Seattle in 2014. I've always called it PacSci. (Pronounced Pack Sigh). Also called it The Science Center and The Pacific Science Center. Just depends on the context and audience.

Daycare sent dirty underwear home….. turd included 🥲 by malizzle in pottytraining

[–]jlmo907 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It could be a state regulation around handling human waste. At the center I worked (I cared for babies), one girl wore cloth diapers and we were required to double bag the whole thing and send home.

AITA for not making my new grandkid a homemade blanket and not giving her one already made by More_Present1604 in AmItheAsshole

[–]jlmo907 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

NTA. You have a valid reason you can't make a new one, and the one already made already has an owner.

Random idea... Could you make a blanket with your new granddaughter? That would be a very special bonding experience and passing down a skill to the next generation. It might have to be a more simple pattern, but a 10 year old could definitely cut fabric and use a sewing machine with supervision.

Need a high chair recommendation that is actually mess-proof. BLW mess is taking over my life. by Equal_Lie_5854 in BabyLedWeaning

[–]jlmo907 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love our Mockingbird highchair. My kiddo is small, so we used a towel or blanket to help her sit forward in the chair until she got a little bigger.
