My son is refusing to eat any food. Purées, solids, everything. Meal times turn into a complete meltdown. He never used to be like this, we’ve done BLW since 6 months and he was doing great but all of a sudden he doesn’t want to eat ANYTHING. Foods that were originally a favourite are now causing crying fits and hea...

Dummy dipping

My baby is dummy obsessed and I'm just wondering on what sort of age people think is okay for dummy dipping to get them tasting some different flavours? Would it be from 4 months like when they can start having some solids? Not here for judgement just genuinely curious!

Refusing dinner

What do you all do when LO straight up refuses dinner and just cries/plays? Do you offer alternative? Dad says to leave it if he’s not eating but I cant tell if he genuinely doesn’t like the food so I dont want him to go hungry!

Veggie straws - 11 months old

I’ve been giving a few of these to my almost 11 month old with meals like I would other crisps, and she’s been loving them (had them maybe twice) but I’ve just realised they say 3+! 😦 Do you think they will be okay to continue feeding? The salt content is 0.06g per 100g so not big and I should imagine the age…
