Would you get irritated at your husband eating the last of your choc or biscuits?😂

He has his vices on the shop like beer and ciggies (no judgement on that please) but I get myself choc and biscuits as my treats and I end up wanting to hide them away so I can enjoy them without him eating them or finishing them off it’s like kids I’m sure 😆

Feeding every 2 hrs

My baby is going to be 6 months soon and still eats 3.5 oz every 2 hrs .. we also recently started solids. If she eats more she will spit up. Sometimes even spits up her normal amount. Not to mention she now wakes up at night to eat sometimes a few times when she could sleep 8 hr straight when she was smaller

I cant get my baby to eat solids

I haven’t been able to get my baby to eat anything besides oatmeal. And he’s 8 months now. Should I be worried? He hasn’t gotten any teeth either. I don’t want to do baby led weaning. The idea of that scares the crap out of me. But he’ll eat a few spoon of oatmeal in the morning. But that’s about it. Everything else...
