Grind up and make steel cut oats for breakfast, start with steamed and blended spinach or carrots. Avacado works too. My son loves sweet potatoes. I've heard say to start with veggies first because they aren't sweet.

Yup. Baby cereal good start. Just remember, it’ll be a long time before it’s actually nutrition

We went with baby led weaning. Not for everyone, but it worked great for us.

When you start it isnt really about them feeding, but more getting used to solid food

We started with blended fruits and veggies purees. Also baby yogurt after 6 months. Worked out great.

We are also at t months. Starting with vegetables. This is my 3rd kid. First one was all rice cereal 2nd one hated it. You never know! These little people have their own tastes even at this age

Most foods they won’t choke on are fine. Ease your way into the common allergens so if theres a reaction you know to what Avocados, beans, soft fruits/vege purees all good. You can even give them bigger things like corn on the cob to gnaw on. They can’t eat it obviously, but that’s ok, its too large to be a choking hazard and mine loved it

Also, for protein sources, in addition to beans, scrambled egg, ground beef (e.g., spaghetti sauce or taco meat), whole fat yogurt, and cottage cheese are all good too.

Keep in mind cereal is binding. Also, try and get them used to foods that are easy to get in restaurants avacado beans etc. that way if you are out it’s easy to find something for them to eat

The best part about introducing solid foods is that they will feel fuller at bedtime and start sleeping through the night consistently.

I always started with cereals then quickly moved to the pureed fruits and vegetables.

Is it ok to feed baby using spoon for almost all meals? He is 9 month and eats well but we don’t give him much of dry/finger food. The pediatrician said by 15 months he should be off purée but I don’t know if that means he should be eating by himself by then

*5* months

Thanks everyone for the great tips and advice!

Home made steamed carrots puree. Consider it just an addition to milk, not a replacement

How do I figure out spending with my SO? Initially I was paying for 90% of stuff (no actual bills, just going out). I talked to her and said we need to be more even. She was never proactive. She kind of got offended but we ended on a good note to split things. It went well for a couple weeks but now it's back to normal. 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.

Hey everyone. I found out we are expecting our first child and I’m really nervous. I got into consulting one year ago and I’m up for promotion this year. With timing of our performance conversations I would have to inform I’m pregnant before outcomes - then shortly after the promotion effective date I would go on a leave for due date. I’ve worked really hard and I’m worried our wonderful news will throw chances with this :(- also if I don’t get promoted pretty sure it’s up or out. Any advice?

Crazy ethics issue. Client 1 has VPO against man who later becomes Client 2. This is the 4th VPO this year, previous ones dismissed.

Clients reconcile (which is how they both end up clients...) and want VPO dismissed, divorce dismissed, and criminal charges dismissed.
