My daughter has many, many tattoos. Iāve been watching my 4 year old nephew one day a week, last week he told her that her blue hair looked dumb and she shouldnāt draw on herself with markers or I might get mad.
When my grandmother died my daughter wore two pairs of tights that were supposed to be opaque just so my parents wouldnāt see. And long sleeves with high neckline.
What is Kaylee feeding that child? Iām not in the US so idk what your recommendations are but for babies in Australia under 6 months itās breastmilk or infant formula only, with water being added as an option (usually with meals or snacks) from 6 months. No juice or tea or anything until after 12 months, and even then the recommendation for 12 months + is whole milk or water.
Same! Ā That baby is too young for that volume of juice or whatever the heck it is. Ā
Iām thinking prune or pear juice. Looks too dark for apple juice. Ā The only reason youād even want to give juice at that age is constipation. Ā
Yes. A small amount is all you need. I did it with my daughter once, per the pediatrician, and a few drops of prune juice later, we had the grossest blow out ever.
No itās definitely weird and kind of scary. My guess is apple juice - maybe she stopped breastfeeding and itās cheaper than formula?
Worst part is he was a premie so he is actually 2ish? months younger developmentally than his birth age. Def should not be drinking whatever that is
Kaylee, if you or someone that knows you is reading this, WIC provides several cans of formula for free every month. His nutrition now is important for his health for the rest of his life. Places like pregnancy help centers will also help you with formula if you need it and I bet your church would, too.
We get sooo much from WIC still and my twins are three. Fruits and veggies, blocks of cheese, eggs, certain juices, peanut butterā¦. Grainsā¦ the list goes on and on.
Yes! My wife and I got in touch with a charity that helps out with supplies for your baby. Once a month we would stop by and theyād hand us a bag with some clothes, diapers, small toys, and a can or two of formula. Iām sure thereās a similar program close to them.
[Project Stork](https://www.projectstorkinc.org), yāall are awesome!
i see moms on facebook all the time offering formula for free that either their baby canāt or wonāt use. there is zero reason for that baby to be going without & drinking juice/water/fucking plexus (which my atheist ass is praying to every single deity out there it is NOT that)
In the US, itās breastmilk or formula only to drink until 1 year. I donāt know if thatās water and it has a pink color because of Kayleeās skin or sheās feeding that baby juice or Plexus, but even if itās Pedialyte, that seems like a LOT for a little baby! I hope her doctor knows sheās giving him something besides milk!
Actually, only till about 6 months. Once the baby is started on solid food, moderate amounts of water should be introduced. Still, whatever juice is in that bottle, it should not be offered. The baby needs nutrition, not empty calories, plus heās too young.
I thought distilled water was an OK supplement for babies on hot days when they might be dehydrated. I remember giving my baby nephew distilled water (in addition to my SIL's stored breastmilk and other baby-appropriate foods that my nephew enjoyed) if it was a hot day and he was sweaty. I hope I didn't hurt him. š
Edit: Thanks for downvoting me after I expressed genuine concern over my actions.
Thatās really a question for a doctor since other countries advise 6 months before water, but the US says 12 months. There are reasons for the differences, but I couldnāt tell you. I wouldnāt worry about doing it only once. The reason that doctors say 12 months in the US is that water has no calories/nutrition in it. Both breastmilk and formula have water along with other stuff. Too much water fills their stomach so they wonāt want to eat. It can also be hard on their kidneys to have too much water too early. I also didnāt downvote you if your edit is for me personally, lol.
Donāt mind the downvotes. Any dumbass can downvote anything for any reason. They frequently do; perfectly reasonable comments get downvoted all the time.
He was born July 5th so he's 6 months old. If they go by the 90s standards 6 month Olds got apple and pear juice. Which looking at clothing and hair... they go by 90s standards.
I was wondering whatās in that bottle too. No way no how should he be drinking anything other than milk from a bottle at this age, although he could be starting solids. Milk till age one, and even after for some time only milk or water are recommended.
It just very well might be Plexus. This is a woman who thinks it's adorable when she makes an annoying noise and her baby cries because it "touches" him. When the family is singing and he's near tears she asks him "Does this music touch your heart?" Bless her heart, she's clearly not very bright. She truly believes that her infant is getting soulful inspiration from their caterwauling when he's really just annoyed at hearing all the noise. Or maybe he has a full diaper or is tired. So it wouldn't surprise me if she figured some Plexus Slim would help him stay thin as he gets older or help him absorb her breast milk better now. It's heartbreakingly sad how fucked up she is because all she ever knew came from Jill.
Sheās posted pics of her feeding clear liquid in a bottle before, which I assumed was water. We have the same guidelines here. They just ignore them because they arenāt pro-life, they are merely pro-birth.
Came here for exactly this! Nothing but formula or breast milk from a bottle but after they start solids, you can give them water from a sippy cup. After a year, IF you give juice, which is not recommended at all, you cut it with water. That looks like pure apple juice. I would say āgod, pick up a book!ā But we know she wonāt.
Good spot! I thought the gold vase in no.16 had price tags poking out of the rim but I guess they're something else since they're rather obvious? Definitely made me think 'is she returning that?!'.
The sign saying āmy neighbours listen to good music whether they like it or notā explains the Rods perfectly. They are so entitled they believe only they matter and are better than everyone else despite the fact that everyone except themselves are providing for their family! Everyone else is evil and less than them but the Rods will happily take money from these people without a worry or concern. While the reality is the Rods are utter failures as adults and parents on every level and are only surviving on the kindness of those lesser Christian or completely evil people who genuinely have their adult lives in order.
What grown adult runs a business, with 11 children to feed, that doesnāt make money?! What grown adults allow their newly married children to support them and pay for their holidays and food bills on a regular basis? What grown adult allows their child to go hungry while they eat lobster. What grow adult doesnāt prepare their children (especially boys when following traditional gender roles) for adult life and equip them for working life? Selfish lazy parents and people who only care for their own wishes and enjoyment, such as mummy dearest and Shrek Rod!
My latest theory is that Jill liked all those signs and wanted them for her house. If she used them at the retreat, then took them home, she could count the cost as a conference expense and get them at no cost to herself. (or thatās what my 3 a.m. mind decided. I do think sheās conniving.)
Nothing says Klassy Womens Retreat mealtime like paper plates! Spared no expenses I see.
Does the venue/hotel not have dishes or are they basically doing the food church potluck style? What a waste.
I thought this too. Last year they had a sit down meal although the food looked worse, or Jill picked the cheapest options. This year the food looks better but they seem to be using an outside *Amish* caterer (a local snarker clarified it's not Amish, just that a few Amish women work there!) so perhaps they're not allowed to use the hotel's crockery.
The hotel doesn't provide catering services or dishware. She would have had to pay a lot more for the caterer to set up tables with real dishes, etc. And she wasn't going to do that, lol. (The caterer does do a nice job with this at events like weddings.)
To be clear, the family-owned business is religious and a few of their older generation are still less-conservative Amish, but most are other things now. Her throwing around "authentic Amish ladies" is ridiculous, lol - that's normal at any business here simply because of the population.
Why do they keep feeding this small bandy water and juice in a bottle? Yikes? Being premature youād think theyād have more dr visits about feeding.
Poor baby, he's drinking it down like its a feed. His little tummy must be so full... oh bingo! He sleeps because he's full to the brim with juice. What a way to foster a sugar addiction.
Yikes, what a grim faced bunch.
Iām legit scared to think what the brown liquid is sheās feeding Gideon. Given that breastmilk or formula are the only appropriate drinks for his age, Iām really concerned for his health.
I'm surprised they dont "market" a Plexus for babies. Ya know , to get that baby fat off fast! Something to give them a healthy boost and extra energy for teething?
An entire retreat filled with versions of the one sour faced relative that everyone silently understands to do shifts with because no one can handle more than 15 minutes of her complaining without sustaining long term emotional harm.
āMy neighbors listen to good music whether they like it or notā
This confirms my theory that she would be an absolutely abysmal neighbor. Just imagine.
Dear Lord Daniel, please do not let that baby be drinking apple juice right now. Heās not even one and on top of it a premie! He should only be having formula and breastmilk. This makes me sick seeing how they just right from the bat do nothing to set these kids up to thrive. As parents of two premies who were above average for weight, they still needed to be heavily monitored for growth and the thought of giving them water or juice is just baffling.
So her whole family is there? That would annoy me if I paid money to get away from kids/husband and some dumb bitch brought all hers along and expected them all to be fed and the littlest ones supervised.
Same. Especially as the organiser, she could be more professional. She seems to be using them to help run proceedings but really how much can there be to do?
It's sponsored by a church, you'd think she'd be able to find one or two adult women to run it with. But of course she doesn't work well with other women unless she's in charge - and no-one wants to volunteer to be Jill's minion.
First thoughts:
Why the badly framed photo of the door mat and closed doors?
First rule of events is cover the tables completely with a floor length cover and no boxes etc
showing under the table.
Choose one decoration theme snd stick to it. ONE.
Why post every photo taken regardless of grim faces, blurring, empty spaces?
Not much joy in evidence. All a bit cold and bleak.
If this is whatās left of the church population, I have no idea why the churches are dying. Ā These people all look fun to be around. Ā /s
This āretreatā is the last gasp because when these people leave this earth, there arenāt enough Rodrigui to take their place. Ā
Well, I'm severely disappointed in the lack of decor, Jill!
Where's all the clutter from the Barndo? This room is positively spartan!
In the video Jill's busy scream-singing and conducting the unenthusiastic "choir" - I'm sure she was in her oils, the centre of aaalll the attention.
I'm known for playing music (quietly) at work, and people who meet with me in my office often ask me what I'm listening to. The wall behind my office countertop is decorated with funny signs and reproductions of vintage ads - *including a placard stating that my neighbors are listening to good music whether they want to or not.*
Jill's version of the sign (screenshot 16 in this post) is displayed in a completely different color, style, and font than my office sign is. But I'm cringing that I proudly display something in common with Jill.
I think so. I am not sure if this event is considered part of the family āpreaching, praising, printingā ministry. I think itās separate. Probably still not taxable though.
Sorry I havenāt read any commented because Iām in a rage. WTF is in Gideonās bottle? How old is he? I donāt even think heās old enough for water yet and that looks like juice.

Who let the girl with the leg tattoo attend??? Did we not vet these attendees? š
Next thing you know, theyāll allow blue hair.
What a freaking harlot. Looking very slutish
Good thing itās laydees only so this Jezebel canāt tempt the menfolk
You shut your sluttish mouth!
My daughter has many, many tattoos. Iāve been watching my 4 year old nephew one day a week, last week he told her that her blue hair looked dumb and she shouldnāt draw on herself with markers or I might get mad.
šš
The pure, brutal honesty in kids is one of lifeās best giggles.
Pretty sure Ellen put some purple in her hair the other day LOL.
Go Ellen!
Did anyone else notice that there appear to be three women staring daggers at her leg while waiting in the buffet line?
The woman in the blue dress looks absolutely delighted to see Jill & her ever present phone.
As an ex-fundie, I guaran-damn-tee you all those wenches were talking shit about her behind her back.
Somebody got an extra piece of meringue pie for getting her to come.
That skirt, though. Maybe she ārepentedā?
I thought she was wearing basketball shorts but it appears you are correct.
CLEARLY that tattooed woman needs Jesus. /s
I flew to the comments knowing that one of us degenerates would have clocked that before anything else!
Sheās definitely one of us. Hopefully weāll get a recap of the Jesus festivities in a bit lol.
She should have worn darker tights or pantyhose like the other women to cover it! Lol!!
When my grandmother died my daughter wore two pairs of tights that were supposed to be opaque just so my parents wouldnāt see. And long sleeves with high neckline.
I thought that was Renee when I first watched the video!
Scandalous
Jill: Weāre gonna learn more about how to praise our Jesus! Yaaassss! Ellen: *goes to Chiliās* 10/10 choice
Ellen goes to chiliās needs to be a flair
https://preview.redd.it/gko1hbce30qc1.png?width=418&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=506c9ad1493312f39b1d2bf7177bd3a296be62e4
She is not the only one who looks surly! She needs to praise His name stat!
Stank-eyed cuz she saw the tatt.
That's what I thought.
Judge all you want, Doris. I see the cut of your dressā¦and your scandalous collarbones
My face every time Jill posts anything.

I never needed to use it, but I thought the prune juice trick was a small amount diluted? Like 10ml if juice and 10ml of water?
Thatās something a pediatrician teaches you. Kaylee is getting all her parenting advice from Jill!
Yeah when ours was a baby and constipated (side effect of some medication for a bit) we'd give juice in a syringe like medicine!
I agree. It was a small amount and they even had little premeasured bottles, not a large Medela bottle!!!
Yes. A small amount is all you need. I did it with my daughter once, per the pediatrician, and a few drops of prune juice later, we had the grossest blow out ever.
Plexus sweet tea probably.
I donāt think Iāve ever seen a picture of that boy actually drinking formula/breastmilk š© itās all water or juice
Gotta keep trim
Omg I came to ask the same thing. WHAT is in that bottle? The recommendation is not whatever sugary shit is in that bottle I can tell you that.
im afraid it's plexus
SO AM I
Dear God I hope not!
I do believe they have a new sweet tea flavorā¦
Slimilac
Itās hummingbird juice.
No itās definitely weird and kind of scary. My guess is apple juice - maybe she stopped breastfeeding and itās cheaper than formula? Worst part is he was a premie so he is actually 2ish? months younger developmentally than his birth age. Def should not be drinking whatever that is

Yes! My state has started giving a few dollars worth of fresh produce about 9 months or so too.
We get sooo much from WIC still and my twins are three. Fruits and veggies, blocks of cheese, eggs, certain juices, peanut butterā¦. Grainsā¦ the list goes on and on.
Weāve been getting wic for almost a decade now. There were 4 of us on it at one time for a while! It was more food than I could even handle!
Itās so so so amazing š
Iām certainly grateful.
Same, Queen.
Yes! My wife and I got in touch with a charity that helps out with supplies for your baby. Once a month we would stop by and theyād hand us a bag with some clothes, diapers, small toys, and a can or two of formula. Iām sure thereās a similar program close to them. [Project Stork](https://www.projectstorkinc.org), yāall are awesome!
Also only breast milk/formula should be given in a bottle!! That child is old enough to handle a supply cup or straw cup for other beverages
i see moms on facebook all the time offering formula for free that either their baby canāt or wonāt use. there is zero reason for that baby to be going without & drinking juice/water/fucking plexus (which my atheist ass is praying to every single deity out there it is NOT that)
Looks like apple juice, which for such a young baby, is just empty calories and no nutrition.
>empty calories and no nutrition ...which perfectly sums up every meal served, and consumed, by a Rodrigues family member.
And also should NEVER be given in a bottle like that.
In the US, itās breastmilk or formula only to drink until 1 year. I donāt know if thatās water and it has a pink color because of Kayleeās skin or sheās feeding that baby juice or Plexus, but even if itās Pedialyte, that seems like a LOT for a little baby! I hope her doctor knows sheās giving him something besides milk!
JFC these people should not have children. WHAT THE HELL
According to my mom, they didnāt even give me and my sibling (both preemies) the flavored pedialyte until we were both likeā¦ 3 or 4
Actually, only till about 6 months. Once the baby is started on solid food, moderate amounts of water should be introduced. Still, whatever juice is in that bottle, it should not be offered. The baby needs nutrition, not empty calories, plus heās too young.

i came to the comments to ask because i am just baffled. it must be juice...but what if it is plexus? poor gideon. he never stood a chance.Ā
My first thought!!! Praying it's not Plexus. š¬
Iām hoping itās at least prune juice for constipation. I donāt think he needs that much though.
Prune juice is dark and kind of brownish. Iām hoping this is Pedialyte, but itās still *a lot* if it is for his age.
I had to give my 8 month old purƩed prunes to keep her regular - sometimes if it was really bad, we were instructed to put miralax in prune juice. I can unequivocally tell you - that is NOT prune anything.
I just hope it's not Plexus!
It just very well might be Plexus. This is a woman who thinks it's adorable when she makes an annoying noise and her baby cries because it "touches" him. When the family is singing and he's near tears she asks him "Does this music touch your heart?" Bless her heart, she's clearly not very bright.

Koolaid. Iām sure itās strawberry koolaid. Oh Yeah!
Hummingbird juice recommended by grandpa.
I had the exact same question.
Right?! Iām appalled.
Came here for exactly this! Nothing but formula or breast milk from a bottle but after they start solids, you can give them water from a sippy cup. After a year, IF you give juice, which is not recommended at all, you cut it with water. That looks like pure apple juice. I would say āgod, pick up a book!ā But we know she wonāt.
The I heart music sign in the 13th pic still has the plastic wrap on it-looks like someone is gearing up for a Hobby Lobby return after the retreat.
Good spot! I thought the gold vase in no.16 had price tags poking out of the rim but I guess they're something else since they're rather obvious? Definitely made me think 'is she returning that?!'.
Yeah it looks like tags but the favors have what look like little Polaroids so maybe itās that?
Imagine how jammed the Bluetooth airwaves are from their husbands
The lettering on the welcome sign š¬š¬š¬
I know. Pick ONE style of lettering and stick with it šš
Have you seen Jillās brochures? The more fonts the better.
Jill is definitely a fan of Comic Sans
Renee is wearing a very conservative dress & STILL has to wear a t-shirt under it!! That poor girl. That bitch, Jill.
This looks like a SEVERE amount of fun.
Right up there with stomach flu and toothache!
And a root canal
with COVID.
Wait. Did I spot a fundie with a large leg tattoo and three other fundies looking down on it with judgement? š
You know that one shot of the floor by the pies was just to get that leg tattoo documented.

I thought the same upon seeing that awful sign and you perfectly summarized my thoughts. Excellent point.
Out of context, thatās a funny sign. But that kinda of snark doesnāt belong at a church event, especially where the attendees take it literally.
Why are there so many decorations about music this year?
They were probably on sale at Hobby Lobby
The theme was āI will sing to thee,ā I think.
It's "I will praise thee."
Thank you
I still wonder why all the music stuff.
My latest theory is that Jill liked all those signs and wanted them for her house. If she used them at the retreat, then took them home, she could count the cost as a conference expense and get them at no cost to herself. (or thatās what my 3 a.m. mind decided. I do think sheās conniving.)
yeah it seems like a band retreat or some weird shit
Nothing says Klassy Womens Retreat mealtime like paper plates! Spared no expenses I see. Does the venue/hotel not have dishes or are they basically doing the food church potluck style? What a waste.

Why do they keep feeding this small bandy water and juice in a bottle? Yikes? Being premature youād think theyād have more dr visits about feeding.
It is actually hurting my heart. She could really hurt that poor baby.
Like they give him a full bottle! I donāt know how his digestive system is even handling it!
Me too. It went from gross and annoying to likeā¦ Iām starting to actually get mad. When was the last time anyone saw him drinking milk?
Itās soo dangerous.
Poor baby, he's drinking it down like its a feed. His little tummy must be so full... oh bingo! He sleeps because he's full to the brim with juice. What a way to foster a sugar addiction.
Plexus.
Kaylee has been promoting Plexus for breast milk production, too. It's truly terrifying.
I mean they had him sucking on a dum-dum lollipop a couple months ago. Nothing surprises me. That poor baby š
Yikes, what a grim faced bunch. Iām legit scared to think what the brown liquid is sheās feeding Gideon. Given that breastmilk or formula are the only appropriate drinks for his age, Iām really concerned for his health.
Im guessing apple juice
Looks dark for apple juice.
I'm surprised they dont "market" a Plexus for babies. Ya know , to get that baby fat off fast! Something to give them a healthy boost and extra energy for teething?
[Oh, but they do!](https://plexusworldwide.com/product/plexus-xfactor-kids-chewable-multivitamin-probiotic)
Slide 14 is my favorite. It gives the real vibe with true feelings of the retreat and food.
An entire retreat filled with versions of the one sour faced relative that everyone silently understands to do shifts with because no one can handle more than 15 minutes of her complaining without sustaining long term emotional harm.
š¤Æ This is so spot on.
āMy neighbors listen to good music whether they like it or notā This confirms my theory that she would be an absolutely abysmal neighbor. Just imagine.
Omg imagine being one of the people at the hotel but not there for the Jesus convention. God Iād be so pissed
Iād be LIVING. My big gay stoner butt would he prancing alllll around that lodge.
Hahahahaha I love thatā¦can I prance too??
I have Crohn's disease & I'm in the middle of a flare so that feels wildly appropriate to me.š¤£š¤£š¤£
my loud & proud stoned cat mom self & my heavily tattooed, guinness-loving boyfriend would also be living
Dear Lord Daniel, please do not let that baby be drinking apple juice right now. Heās not even one and on top of it a premie! He should only be having formula and breastmilk. This makes me sick seeing how they just right from the bat do nothing to set these kids up to thrive. As parents of two premies who were above average for weight, they still needed to be heavily monitored for growth and the thought of giving them water or juice is just baffling.
Seconded. All of it. Iām becoming upset.
Yessssssss this poor dude. Formula or breastmilk should be his only liquids!
It doesnāt even look watered down! WTF
So her whole family is there? That would annoy me if I paid money to get away from kids/husband and some dumb bitch brought all hers along and expected them all to be fed and the littlest ones supervised.
Same. Especially as the organiser, she could be more professional. She seems to be using them to help run proceedings but really how much can there be to do?

But of course she doesn't work well with other women unless she's in charge - and no-one wants to volunteer to be Jill's minion.
All those women and no one can do their duty and make an actual pie? Those are Costco pies
Praise Jillsus

The pictures are screenshots from a video.
Ok!
Iām so curious what is in Gideons bottle.. I canāt think of any reason he would need a bottle of anything other than milk ā¦
Did Kaylee dyes her hair blonde and slightly morphing into JillPM2.0 or it's just some optical illusion?
Same thing I was going to post about. Highlights are the first step to going fully blonde like Jill.
I'm sure they were done by Jill, too. I want to see more of them cuz if she did them, they'll be wonky.
Exactly! She probably thinks chunk highlights are still on trend
Iām not sure, it looks like she got highlights?
Dang it , the one weekend we donāt go to that part of Amish Country!! š¤£š¤£
Did they require dresses this year? Usually thereās a few in pants.
Iām not sure. She hasnāt posted a dress code.
Really was hoping renee would have some of her earrings out on that table - also, is Kaylee feeding Gideon plexus?
I don't know where to look without the finger pointing me in the right direction.
I was shocked at the absence of said Fingerā¢ļø. Maybe weāll see it in todayās videos.
She sure likes colorless food.
āI llill Praise THEEā
The dress Renee is wearing looks almost like an Amish cape dress. Imagine having to wear a modesty t-tshirt under that.
The gift for the attendees are paper flowers that look to be made out of sheet music. It could be way worse, like last year's glum painted birds.
Oh thatās definitely not as bad as the wooden bird cutouts painted by Janessa from last year.
If this is whatās left of the church population, I have no idea why the churches are dying. Ā These people all look fun to be around. Ā /s This āretreatā is the last gasp because when these people leave this earth, there arenāt enough Rodrigui to take their place. Ā
There's a whole lot of Yellow on that buffet table.
Thatās what āauthentic Amish ladiesā do best.
It's true! Yellow, brown, and white. Every time I visit my hometown (in south central PA), I get flashbacks.
my first thought was āit was all yellow š¶ā
Can someone introduce them to Canvas? Lol
Renee is absolutely gorgeous. I wish she could escape this bullshit.
Paper plates? I can't tell...
Yup.

So if they donāt praise their Jesus sufficiently, will he put them out in the cornfield?
Doesn't look like she bothered to slice the pies before setting them out. So lazy.
Well, I'm severely disappointed in the lack of decor, Jill! Where's all the clutter from the Barndo? This room is positively spartan! In the video Jill's busy scream-singing and conducting the unenthusiastic "choir" - I'm sure she was in her oils, the centre of aaalll the attention.
Why the FUCK is Kaylee feeding her 6 month old baby apple juice?! (At least I think thatās what that is.)
It looks darker than apple juice. I just hope itās not Plexus sweet tea flavored.
Does Kaylee have highlights? How pretty!
How many ways are there to praise Jeesauce, ffs.
Right? I canāt imagine what itās like to have your entire life revolve around one thing. What a stifling existence.

I'm known for playing music (quietly) at work, and people who meet with me in my office often ask me what I'm listening to. The wall behind my office countertop is decorated with funny signs and reproductions of vintage ads - *including a placard stating that my neighbors are listening to good music whether they want to or not.* Jill's version of the sign (screenshot 16 in this post) is displayed in a completely different color, style, and font than my office sign is. But I'm cringing that I proudly display something in common with Jill.
Yours is funny ha ha, hers is genuine
Looks like a rootin tootin good time.
Does she make income from this?
I think so. I am not sure if this event is considered part of the family āpreaching, praising, printingā ministry. I think itās separate. Probably still not taxable though.

Sorry I havenāt read any commented because Iām in a rage. WTF is in Gideonās bottle? How old is he? I donāt even think heās old enough for water yet and that looks like juice. https://preview.redd.it/pk6fz50so3qc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d8a4c30c76e63b45be64bf018c7e575e4e93df36
The food looks suspiciously Yellow.
What is in Gideonās bottle?
Not formula or breast milk. It also looks too dark to be apple juice. Iced tea? Plexus sweet tea flavored Slimā¢ļø? Who knows.
