insywincyspider's slow cooker sausage and green lentils: a solution to frazzled term-time cooking. Pop this tasty casserole in your slow cooker in the morning and you've got a delish dinner with no cooking in the evening.
MY 6 month old daughter, is inconsolable in her high chair at every feed time. She even starts crying now as I put her in it. It's really starting to upset me now. I can;t feed her for the amount of screaming and crying she does. I have tried giving her some finger food and a spoon to hold but she just gets angrier and more upset. The highchair had a gap between her and the table as she;s still young so anything she picks up falls down it. It was a present so I don;t feel I can change it. She seems happy sometimes to get her hands in the bowl but obviously no feeding gets done. I didn;t have this with my first, so am at my wits end!!! Pls help, she's still upset half an hour after feeding. I'm dreading the next meal!
Could you put a cushion behind her back so that she sits further forward to block the gap? If she's small, how about one of those highchair inserts you can buy for about £10 in mothercare? what sort of highchair have you got?
What about ditching the high chair for a bit and feeding her in one of those little bouncy chairs, or on your knee at a normal table (with you covered all over in plastic of course!)?
can you take the tray off and put her at the table with you? do you have something to eat at the same time? dont know if it would help at this age, poor you!
just a thought, I have a similar thing with my ds2. didn't have a problem with first. I've realised its to do with the harness. he hates being harnessed in anything. do you think it could be that?
Well used the booster seat instead tonight and hey - BLISS!!! She sat next to her sister and ate so much better. There's only a lap belt, so she wouldn't know it;s there. I do thing it;s the straps, as in her car seat she gets really annoyed with me strapping her in! We cam't eat together though except once or twice a week as DH works late, but at least she can eat with her sis at tea times, hope tommorow is better! tq!
