My 8 month old started purées at 6 months. She was absolutely NOT ready. As in, wouldn’t even open her mouth. So no progress made on solids in month 6. Cut to month 7 and she showed interest in food from my plate but continued to reject purées.

I got the idea that maybe she was just going to be a BLW baby, which terrified me, but I had to roll with it.

I decided to go really slow and keep giving her similar foods because she rejected oats when I added things to it. She has had egg strips, toast, avocado strips, and zucchini strips on rotation.

I understand that at 9 months I can transition to small bites but what is the criteria for that? I don’t think she’s had enough experience in chewing and gagging yet or is it simply age that will now allow her to chew and pick up small pieces?

Am I supposed to be looking for a type of readiness?

Sorry if this sounds silly but I definitely was not attempting blw and have just had to quickly get on board with it.

A few days before my husband left on a trip (with all male friends) for the weekend in another city I joked that his location is going to ‘magically turn off’ (as it has in the past see below). Lo and behold, less than 12 hours into his trip his location is off. I haven’t brought it up with him.

When we had our child we agreed locations being on is important in case of emergencies etc so he has had it on since the birth of our child (less than 1 year) with one instance of it being turned off and he claimed it must have been a glitch which he then reactivated.

I will note that my location has been on and shared with him since before our child was born but he did not request it - I just did it because it made me feel safer.

AIO that this is a major issue?! Especially since I literally joked that he would do this and he said he wouldn’t. When I bring this up with him I fully expect him to downplay it like it’s an invasion of privacy for it to be on since he doesn’t have the baby with him. I think it’s a huge red flag that he had the foresight to turn it off.

UPDATE - I AM BOTH MORTIFIED AND RELIEVED - i was attempting to view his location from the wrong account. When I logged into my other account the location was still intact. Thank you all for your wisdom and thoughts nonetheless. Sorry for wasting your internet time.
