My baby is about to turn 6 months this week and want to start giving her cereal but I’m unsure what kind to start her on. What kind of baby cereal are you all feeding baby? What’s the difference in the rice vs oatmeal? What’s a good brand?

My three month old is always reaching for my food and the way her little face lights up whenever I’m eating is so adorable. I put my kettle corn down on the other side of the bed to enjoy once she fell asleep and bean scooted over to it and began trying to eat it.🤣🤣she tried for ten minutes straight so it turned…

My toddler eats so little. Like nibbles on things here and there but never a full meal. I’m constantly making food for him to eat and nothing. It’s exhausting. Some things he will eat is shredded cheese, biscuits but only a couple bites, corn dog (maybe), chicken nuggets, ( maybe). He doesn’t seem to want to eat. I...

Taking any and all ideas/methods for weaning a 2+ year old who loves her milkie 😩💔

Hey Mommas! My son is 10 weeks old, we weighed 14lb 13.6 ounces at our two month check up! But we eat like 4-5 ounces per feeding and only eat about 5/6 times a day. Is this normal? How much do yalls babies eat? Hes gaining weight! But im afraid if hes not getting enough. I feed him whenever he acts hungry

Am I the only one? My LO still eats baby/tot pureed food or coarsely blended food. He loves yogurt and jollof rice though, and that's about it. I have tried so many different foods but he's just not interested. Please help/advise cos I don't know what else to offer him.

We just started BLW our LO yesterday. Gave him some avocado - mashed on spoon and also as spears. The spears he just squeezed in his hand - nothing to the mouth. The spoon he took in twice in his mouth and just chewed the spoon after. I’m not really sure if he’s getting any food in him. Not sure if this is how it’s...

Hii everyone, just a quick question. Does anyone know why some baby food jars/pouches state 7+ months or higher if babies can try almost anything from 6 months old? Like even some of the 7+ month ones say no added sugars or salts etc and all of the ingredients is what my baby has tried before? I usually make my babi...

Hey 👋 So im really struggling with meal ideas for my 9 month old she likes most things she has tried but actually thinking of a meal to make is creating so much stress can anyone give me any ideas please

Anyone else’s toddler started refusing food at mealtimes, and blowing up the tantrums? Our boy is usually a pretty good eater but recently won’t touch breakfast, or lunch and supper is hit and miss. Living off milk and snacks pretty much. Screams when we try and put him in the highchair. A lot more fussy in general ...

We have started to wean my Lo, we have tired carrot and sweet potato purées and every time she makes a disgusted face and doesn’t want to eat anymore. Is this normal or is she not ready yet?

Is anyone on here actually just giving purées and not solids/ baby led weaning ? My baby finds it hard to swallow / chew any harder foods and I am so worried of choking so I am just sticking to purées. Is this still ok to do? Do I need to be offering finger foods ? 😩

Please any recipe or food that your little ones really love? I’m stuck I don’t have any variety in my son’s diet. No vegetable no bread. Is it that bad?

Dinner for my 13 month old. Butternut squash and bacon risotto with a side of peas🫛 My LO is going through a fussy phase but surprisingly ate all of it and me and my partner also really enjoyed it

My baby is just over ten months, I feel I am a terrible parent. I am a single mum I also am pregnant with my next which is hard ( 30 weeks ). I feel I have no time to cook and do everything that should be done, the only meal I get down him to a T is breakfast other than that I feel anxious the rest of the day making...

Is anyone else's child refusing dinner? My 2 year old every night is refusing dinner. But would rather eat a load of snacks 🤔

Have any other babies been slow with weaning? My little boy was not interested at all with food, we started tastes at 5 months and continued with purees at 6, he’s only just now tolerating texture and very small lumps at 10 month. I really try and do abit of baby led weaning and he’s started to suck on toast and he ...

My little boy does not like porridge. I've tried him with it numerous times now but it's always a no and he turns him head or pushes the spoon away. What would be a good alternative option for breakfast for him?

I saw a post on Facebook where someone asked what they could get their 12 month old to do in the kitchen and some of the things people said theirs could do has me nervous laughing! Like my 14 month old can’t do half of this shit! So is my 14 month old behind or are they embellishing what their 12 month olds can do...
