Husband feeding baby from a jar

DS2 is 16 weeks old today. He's a breastfed baby with the odd formula bottle. Has a bit of a cold just now so was up a couple of times last night, having previously slept through.

Had an appointment at teatime for a well needed haircut so DH came home from work and took over. Came home from haircut to find half empty jar of puree on worktop. DH had decided he needed it, hadn't discussed it or anything.

Got a bit annoyed as, with our other children, I would have preferred to start with baby rice when he was first weaned, I would also have taken photos etc and most importantly, I don't think he is ready for it. I would also have made purees myself, although have nothing against jars. I also wouldn't have given him his first taste of solids at 7pm incase it resulted in a sore tummy in the night (which I will have to see to!) Have told him that if DS2 is up in the night, he will have to get up, not me.

Clearly, DH doesn't believe in the art of communication. Am I right to be annoyed?

Not read through all but I can see why you would be annoyed, I'd be the same tbh. Recently my dm admitted giving my sister dippy egg yolk to suck at 2 weeks! Couldn't believe it, but shows how times have changed. I remember with ds how we made his first tastes quite an event, steamed pear, new high chair and lots of photos so I would def feel a bit robbed! :( yanbu

Imagine if this was the other way around. Would it all be fine because you're the 'primary care giver' OP?

Poor sod. I'd be a bit 'you could have told me' but I wouldn't bloody crucify him for giving it a go.

Did the baby eat it?
Is the baby ok?
Will you carry on using this now or straight back to milk it goes...?
