Anyone ex do this (baby on board)

Hi, I texted my ex about 3 months ago about what our baby was eating. After 3 weeks and no response from my ex, I stopped bugging her. Now every day on exchange last two to three weeks, my ex texts me the food the baby is eating since she just started giving the baby food.

For me, the baby is eating human food and dissolvable baby food now. Has had almost every fruit there is pureed. Has only had one reaction basically to the oils of a vegetable in the beginning.

My ex keeps mentioning the baby is allergic to this and that. It's complete baloney sandwiches. I really want to tell my ex that's not true but I let it be. Decided today to tell her a favorite food of our baby. Typical of my ex doesn't respond or acknowledge the text.

I am going to disregard her text as they are not true. In my head I am also wondering what game is she playing?

Just curious, has anyone ex ever done this?

Do you have 50:50 custody? How old is the baby?

Baby is 9 months old and have been seperated about 6 months. No custody order working on doing that.

Why do you need to discuss food at all?

Each of you is capable of feeding your baby. As long as he or she is well nourished, it doesn't matter which foods each of you favour.

Give a suitable diet for a 9 month old and leave your ex to do the same. If she texts you details, just send her a thumbs up sign.

You have 18 years co-parenting to get through. The trick is to neither give nor take offence. Don't comment or judge unless something is dangerous for the little one. You're bound to disagree over some things - sweets, fast food, UPFs, school lunches etc. - that's normal.

Guess putting in her perspective. The first two weeks you panicked with food and any reactions. Then chilled out.
