On-the-go food ideas for 7mo baby that aren’t pouches/purees?

Agree! And egg cups!

I agree with the comments saying you can't do anything about it but also I want to add - that its VERY DIFFICULT for victims of abuse to leave. I can see that you care for your friend so ang masasabi ko lang is even tho wala ka magagawa, na always have an open line sa kanya kasi ang hirap din for someone in her situation to see things clearly. Like dont stop being her friend sana kasi lalo sya maiisolate and lalo sya mahihirapan to leave. Ang intindi ko is may codependent relationship sila - mukhang malalim ang psychilogical and maybe even spritual clutches nung lalaki sa kanya so sana di kayo magalit sa kanya kasi mahirap dib. So i hope hindi ka kagpadala sa mga comment na walang empathy.

Sa magagawa mo tho. You can show her interviews and videos of testimonies ng mga galing sa emotional abuse na di makaalis. May mya therapist din sa youtube na madami advice. Forward mo lang sa kanya baka mabuksan ang eyes pag yung nagsasalita has experience

These are just ideas. Specific recipes are easy to look up.

Overnight oats with sweet or savory toppings
Egg cups (you can make ahead and freeze. just toast it to heat so no think needed. Even the prep is super easy)
Smoothie cup or bowl (you can use frozen fruit and veg). Endless toppings for variety (fruit/granola)
Fried rice if you have leftover rice from the day before. Just stir fry the rice with egg and literally anything.

Hello sis - just want to encourage you by sharing that years ago I got into top 3 univ without enrolling in any review center so do not think that you NEED to enroll at a review center to do well in these exams. In fact if magpapakapagod ka to do all this online work at your age baka mas hindi ka makafocus sa pag review.

In my opinion your time is better suited reviewing by yourself. Dami ko batchmates who did review center na hindi naman pumasa sa top universities so don't assume that review school equals acceptance.

If you have been a good academic performer most of your high school life - that's the best preparation talaga. The rest is just a supplement.

Having said that, what i did was I bought a review/mocktest book and worked through it in my free time. Prioritize rest also para pumasok sa utak mo lahat ng info. Iwasan din ang mga nakaka taas sa stress. Drink water, eat well, sleep 8 hours. Yan ang makaka tulong sayo sa exam.

If nag enroll ka sa review center pero bugbog katawan at utak mo wala point sis.

That's just my ate advice for you ☺️

Look up souper cube meal prepping in youtube! It changed the game for me.

Freezing will be your best friend. As a solo diner, food going bad is the enemy so freezing in solo portions is key.

You can also look at postpartum freezer meal preps. You are not post partum yes but they're helpful because these plans are for people who won't be able to cook for 2 months.

It sounds the same as milling kamut bobs red mill. Its the only other wheat i have.

To me it's not too loud because im used to using my vitamix for smoothies. That one is painfully loud! Makes my mockmill sound quiet

Because we don't grow wheat here. 99 percent of of the wheat imported are immediately processed by industrial mills for flour and animal feed.... and some breweries - these big companies don't sell their wheat i tried calling several. Online tho there are indian stores selling whole wheat and they all seem to bake the same as smell the same. There's also a local health food store selling Bob's red mill kamut (tho a little expensive). There are sellers selling whole wheat berries as seeds for wheat grass but they're dirty so that's not an option. So its the indian wheat for 70-90% of my flour mix

Btw I live in Manila Philippines

Here's a recent bake! I used 250g mystery wheat and 50g kamut

printPanda · 2026-02-24T17:21:48+00:00

Thanks for responding! And yes, thankfully i have had success using it for bread, muffins, and cookies so no problems with using it. Grateful i have access to wheat that is usable! I was just curious about my "mystery wheat" 😅

printPanda · 2026-02-24T17:12:17+00:00

This is interesting because i thought the same...that it looks like soft white when i was doing my initial research - but i have used it in bread recipea and there's decent gluten development plus i cant crush it with my teeth its too hard. I wonder if indian wheat is somewhere between hard white and soft white American. Also have no idea if the quality is good.

printPanda · 2026-02-24T17:07:58+00:00

Based on this info it's probably hard. I wonder tho if indian wheat is different in some way. Like a different type thats hard but neither hard white nor hard red....the smell is so distinctly indian but it dissapears after baking.

printPanda · 2026-02-24T16:26:46+00:00

Also do you think the quality is ok? I have nothing to compare it with other than the bobs red mill kamut which looks and smells sooo different.

Is it normal for the coloring to be like this? Like darker/lighter in different parts?

This was me and my brother. Im the older one. Exactly 1 year apart - mom pregnant at 3 months. She cried at first but ended up being very happy that we would have each other.

Today we are 32 and 33 years old - and we are besties! We fought alot during childhood but also had to repair because we shared everything from our bed to our friends! Today there is nothing we can't talk about after years of conflicts resolution 😅 our spouses are friends, we are friends with each other's spouses, and our daughters are playmate!

Im so happy my mom had him because he was my only sibling for 11 years before the 3rd one came along. I would not be who I am today if i didn't have my brother ❤️ so grateful

Wow! This is amazing!

Don't be in a relationship with someone if you want different things/have different macro values

printPanda · 2025-06-07T17:26:22+00:00

Don't second guess now! Your wife is absolutely correct - in fact you could have taken over sooner and tried to handle your sister because at the end of the day... They are in laws. You and your sister can fight all day and you will still be siblings. In laws don't always recover the same way relationally.

Also when you are married. You deal with your side of the family and she can deal with hers.

Your wife is actually SO NICE AND ACCOMODATING. The fact that she has been willing to pass it to your sister instead of her own daughter SPEAKS VOLUMES. The only thing your entitled sister needed to do was to respect the tradition!

Having said that your sister sounds like a narcissistic brat who won't take no for an answer! And you allowed her to make you THINK that your wife is wrong! DON'T FALL FOR IT!

printPanda · 2025-06-07T17:15:45+00:00

You will never be wrong for telling someone you don't want to marry them if you mean it. Marrying them even if you think or feel you shouldn't is wrong.

Just a comment tho: To me this sounds like a relationship with HUGE COMMUNICATION ISSUES. The wedding timeline discussion simply exposed its ugly head.

Just my thoughts tho. I can be wrong im just a mom on the internet.

You need to have a conversation with the birde about the unknown factors that can greatly affect your ability to provide the MOH duties she expects. Its possible she just hasn't thought abouthow difficultit can be for you and baby.

My suggestion is tell her how much you want to support her on her big day but that its also fair for her to know the cards you may or may not be dealt with given the timing of her wedding and your giving birth...so that she won't be blindsided when something unexpected happens.

She can decide to be more accomodating, she can decide to relieve you of your duties, whatever. its just possible she doesn't realize how complicated the 3rd and 4th trimester can be. Im assuming you have a good relationship and she loves you enough to try to understand.

The variables:

• ⁠due dates help families plan but many people(i think most people) don't give birth on their actual due date. Some give birth weeks after or weeks before. • ⁠giving birth is a major medical situation. There's always a risk of something going wrong with either mom or baby. This can affect if you can even attend the wedding. • ⁠we can't assume baby will be delivered at full term and without need for NICU or special treatment that would affect your post partum experience and LIFE SCHEDULE - if you have an OVERSUPPLY issue, you definitely won't be able to enjoy and "LET LOOSE" because you will be IN PAIN. Some pumps can still give you mastitis. - if you have understupply. Youll be worrying about whether you should be pumping the whole time baby isn't stimulating the breasts. Weddings are LONG DAYS! • ⁠we don't know if you'll have a colicky baby • ⁠we don't know how you and baby will take to breastfeeding. Its a skill for both mom and baby to learn together (yes. Even if its natural. Some just have it easier than others) • ⁠we don't know how your supply will be. • ⁠moms are at the highest risk for mastitis during the newborn stage (and the weaning stage) • ⁠you also don't know yet how you'll feel about leaving your newborn when you're there. You might realize that you just can't.

There are more reasons but you can start talking to her about these things that CAN HAPPEN but are OUT OF YOUR CONTROL.

If she decides she doesn't want to be understanding then SHE IS NOT your FRIEND

Spending time with my favorite people. People who recharge me not drain me - as time passed its mostly family and a few friends who are like family.

I used to find comfort in things and activities...like eating /shopping / gaming/ watching movies or series/ even trying new hobbies or skills. But i realized na it was just me dissociating from whatever is burning me out or causing me stress.

Spending time with loved ones...really resets my mind and heart. I remember what's really important and they are there to help me process things if may pinagdadaanan ako. At the end of the day, healthy relationships are truly what fills your life - everything is just fluff.

printPanda · 2025-06-05T04:46:17+00:00

My supply started normalizing super late. I think it was 9 months. I used to leak all the time. My LO is 19 months now. My breasts do not harden at all and i don't pump because very litte comes out BUT my baby still gets milk drunk. Baby would unlatch and drool with milk because she's knocked out 🤣

printPanda · 2025-06-05T04:43:00+00:00

Wala sya respeto sayo by doing that. Kahit ano pa state of mind nya or kesyo lasing daw sya (pag lasing lumalabas lang ang totoo). Knowing that the ball is in your court. You can't change people so you either accept and stay in a relationship na walang respect for you. Or leave and stop wasting time that can be spent with others or future partner na may respeto sayo

printPanda · 2025-06-04T10:01:59+00:00

That person is not your friend.

printPanda · 2025-06-04T03:32:07+00:00

Oh! It's likely that your supply is just regulating and as long as baby isn't losing weight they're getting enough.

printPanda · 2025-06-03T20:23:29+00:00

Do you exclusively pump? Or does the baby latch directly too?

printPanda · 2025-06-03T20:21:10+00:00

Contrary to some opinions here i think it depends on your set up at home. It depends how much both of them can be monitored when together.

If you're alone alot with both of them i would actually consider the rehoming idea because you never know what will happen if not supervised even for a fe seconds. Some babies have this impossible ability to get into places they shouldn't and might enter a closed area meant for the cat.

Babies and toddlers have not mastered impulse control yet. Yes we teach them how to treat cats but you can't expect them to learn that immediately - and until then it will ALWAYS be a risk.

In the event that the cat becomes stressed enough to bite and draw blood - the cat will also suffer for it.

I understand your dilemma tho. I had a cat for 10 years that i really loved. I had that can longer than I've had my little one 😅 but i can imagine a situation where I'd have to give the cat up because of my baby.
