Is anyone thinking of starting as early as 4 months? I’m considering just baby porridge first in the morning. LG isn’t a great feeder with milk so wondering if we can up her calories keep her warmer for the winter but unsure.

I haven’t been able to get my baby to eat anything besides oatmeal. And he’s 8 months now. Should I be worried? He hasn’t gotten any teeth either. I don’t want to do baby led weaning. The idea of that scares the crap out of me. But he’ll eat a few spoon of oatmeal in the morning. But that’s about it. Everything else...

Did anyone else have a hard time getting their little ones to eat eggs I’ve tried everything from cheese to flavored to plain to boiled to salad style and my daughter just doesn’t seem into them

Baby is just a week shy of 6 months. We’ve been doing solids for 2 weeks now so far oatmeal, avocado, sweet potatoe and pea purée! Each time I blend it with formula to make it more of a purée. As of now I feed her a solid one time a day (when she wakes up) Question - for baby’s similar age.. how often are we giving...

My son eats pretty well, breakfast isn’t an issue we typically do the same alternate foods and dinner is usually what I make or left overs. But lunch….what do you feed your toddlers…I feel like it’s always chicken nuggets or fish sticks with fruit, sometimes fries, and cheese crackers or animal crackers. But I feel ...

I’m reading this book and it has mentioned that i do not refreeze baby food. I unthaw the jars I have in a pot then I take out what she will eat then freeze the rest of it that I didn’t use or put in her bowl or plate. I know that I heard it can cause bacteria. But I had look it up it said the food that baby didn’t ...

I’m getting really worried about my toddler and his eating. I feel like he hates food. He won’t touch any meat or vegetables. I just don’t know what to feed him anymore! He won’t even eat pasta. Is anyone else’s toddler the same?

Saw on Instagram a lady adding to babies meals for health benefits. Anyone added to their babies meals and what recipes did you use?

For those that are into these types of foods for the health benefits. Have you introduced your LO to them. Have read online sauerkraut is okay for them to eat but yet to try Kefir yoghurt instead of using normal other shop bought yoghurt Thanks

My son, 19 months, is going through a bit of a fussy/picky stage with his food. Getting fruit and veg into him is a challenge but I make it work and I do a lot of home cooking and try him with different foods...I want him to have a good relationship with food and not make it stressful for us. So here's this thing.....

Has anyone else started weaning and baby just dislikes all the food? Only been doing it for 2 weeks and small tastes I’m also doing BLW with a mix. So for example if I give broccoli I’ll give them some to eat BLW with their hands and also offer it mashed up for me to feed. Baby will transfer the food into mouth to...

Anyone else’s little one suddenly eating less. It started off with less breakfast but now it’s all meals and he just cries or has a tantrum I’m honestly nervous how little he eats recently. He has cut a bottom front tooth

As me and dad we eating chips all of the sudden our son did what we can't only describe as mocking how we eat it was utterly hilarious just little fake noms with popping sounds followed by a world of giggles

My baby is 5.5 months old and he's quite a big boy (99th perscentile). I started weaning him this week because he was showing all the required signs. He loved it. I'm doing pures and he's loving it, he's eating it so well. My worry is that I have not seen the drop in milk requirements - he's still drinking his norma...

Anyone’s little one not really eating at the minute? My LG is turning 2 on the 3rd in November and for the past week or two she’s been refusing meals. She’ll snack on crisps, yogurt/fruit pouches, and other children snacks but when it comes to dinner time she’s not having it. She even went off breakfast. The only th...

I feel as shes getting older shes eating crap food like biscuits, cake crisps. It used to be rare like once a week and now its most days🫠🤯 dont get me wrong its not excessive but like a biscuit before bed with her milk or if shes good in the shops ill give her somethin.. its a slippery slope and becoming more…

If anyone has any would be great fully appreciated. Thanks 🙏

My 5 month old doesn’t sleep anymore…I started introducing him to purées at 4 months and he loves it! But he won’t take it mixed in his milk. I was wondering any mommies tried cereal in the milk bc he has completely stopped sleeping at night unless he’s cosleeping with me…. Did you try the store brands? Or did u mak...

I started weaning my LO this week (teaspoon of purées) and he’s been in nothing but discomfort since. He was quite a windy baby so imagine it’s his digestive system trying to adapt to the transition to solids Does anybody have any weaning tips/for a baby with sensitive stomach/or just slowly weaning your baby in ge...

Just so frustrated with my LOs fussy eating we tailer most our evening meals to things she’d like and she just won’t eat them and I’m seriously fed up of pasta. She loves curry so I made a slow cooker one definitely the sort of thing she’d normally and she refused to eat it I’d usually give her some cereal but her p...
