0on Daycare wants a written weaning plan now that he's six months
Monday sheet is a good idea. Weekends only will be slow though, he's had rice and moong dal so far. Maybe two new things a week, one on Saturday, one Sunday.
2on daycare khichdi beats my khichdi every single day
Ours is five months and hasn't started solids yet. Reading this so I know what's coming.
1on Partner and baby are at my in-laws' for the first three months, and I feel like a visitor
The bath is a good idea. Our son is two months and I only started doing his evening bath last week. It's the one part of the day I feel I know what I'm doing.
3on How do you stop relatives kissing a one month old on the face?
Same stage here, same problem. We keep him swaddled and hand him over feet first, so his face only gets near the person if they bend right down. Most don't bother. Not perfect, but nobody has been offended yet.
