Left overnight

So I did a quick stock up of fruit yogurts, soft cheese, smoothies and yogurts for my little girl! When I got home last night I totally forgot to put it in the fridge! I woke up this morning and remembered. Will all this be ok or waste?

Solids!

I have a question ladies. When did you move your kids to bigger solids? My daughter is almost 7 months old now and I wanted to know when I could start feeding her different solids like eggs or bread, etc. She’s had the purées, but I’m scared to give her anything else and I don’t exactly know when I should.

Saturday my fiancés family decided to pierce my four year old daughter’s ears without my permission, when I was at work. I had previously stated to my fiancé that I would LIKE to have her ears pierced, however, at the doctor’s office and in my presence. He took this simply as “She wants our daughter’s ears pierced.”...

Today was the final day of soccer tryouts at my son's school. He made the list to try out again for the 3rd time due to 35 kids trying out for the team. The coach could only choose 20.

BLW?

Is it bad that I prefer to spoon feed my baby rather than do blw? I’ve tried but she just doesn’t seem interested. I’m worried she’ll end up missing out on skills that come with blw. At least I know she’s definitely eating what I give her.
