How do full-time working parents with no extra help at home (ie live on your own, no helper, not staying with parents) juggle and prepare and feed your little ones in the evenings? Esp those who send your little ones to full day IFC. My baby is 7mths 1 week old now. I need help/guidance/advice from experienced parents who have to fetch their babies after they knock off work late... and then rush home to feed them dinner... I feel so bad having to feed her only at 7.30pm or sometimes 8.00pm...and that is just easy brown rice cereals... Share with me pls... how and what you cook/prep...and tips to brave through this journey. I am so worried that I am not doing a good job in feeding her and that she may not be getting enough. Thank you.

Hi my lo goes to infant care and is 8mo now. I do not feed her solid when shes back as shes always too tired. So i let ifc feed her 2 times cereal..one in the noon and another in the evening before i pick her up. On off they feed purees too. Im thinking of starting porridge too but will let ifc do the feeding. Why dont u consider let ifc do the feeding before u fetch your baby?
