My 6 month old stopped consuming formula. We tried all possible options (in a bottle, spoon feeding, mixing with a purée etc.) Did anyone consider substituting formula altogether with substitutes?

If so, what substitutes did you pick? He loves his purée.

Have you considered a different brand of formula?

Yes, we did

My little one supplements breastfeeding with food. We went with baby led weaning, so less purees more chunks, but that's only because she still breastfeeds for core nutrition.

Have you tried a food mill? That way you can feed him food you eat. Also soft foods like mashed potatoes, avocados, bananas, pasta, have been fantastic for us. She loves ravioli (esp the spinach ravioli from Costco, with their fresh pesto).

DD1: Our son doesn’t like formula for core nutrients so wondering if anyone relied on solids for core nutrients at the age of 6 months.

They also go through phases. At six months part of the issue is now that they're able to start sitting up and can explore more, they just don't have the patience for sitting there and drinking for an extended period of time. Especially if you have a curious baby..

We did start purees at that age and also for a time did more frequent but smaller bottle feedings that would take less time. That helped and then within one or two weeks appetite and attention span went back up and we went back to more spaced out, bigger meals.

Also are gums swollen? Teething does take its toll.. We offered slightly cooler than room temp formula and gave cold teether right before to help soothe gums and that also helped.

I don’t understand how someone can lie about loving you for 6 months. We were together for almost a year (broke up a week before our anniversary). I said I love you first and he said it back. I asked for more reassurance last month with saying I love you more often. Now all of a sudden he said he didn’t know if he loved me and that love meant marriage for him. Okay well great thanks for telling me this now, 6 months after it was initially exchanged. I don’t understand how he could do that.

So my fiancé and I are having a microwedding in Rocky Mountain National Park next year, and we’re working with an elopement planner.
She sent over a sample ceremony (intro, sweet poems + passages to be read, and example vows), and we read through it last night. I was reading it out loud while my fiancé made dinner, and it just hit me that this is really happening. I’m just really happy that I found someone who is willing to take a vow to spend his life with me and I’m so excited for that day :)

She never takes out her card and only venmos me if I send her the request. She lets Venmos sit for weeks before paying them. I still let a lot of things slide.

I grew up poor and was obsessed w financial security. After investing my blood, sweat and tears into my career for years, I’ve decided I don’t care about my career or earnings as long as I have enough to support my family.

I wasn’t there when my mom was sick and died because I was working and my employer didn’t allow me to be in a mental headspace to be a good person for my family. I can never change that but I can be better going forward.
