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...

Can someone tell me whether around 12 months there’s a fussy phase with food😂🤦🏻‍♀️my boy who loved absolutely everything now doesn’t want to eat anything, he just throws it on the floor, may eat a tiny bit but then that’s it, I’m more worried he’s not getting what he needs 🥲

I’ve only really given my baby little bite size bits on the plate for her to experiment with while giving her puree but she’s started to completely refuse puree now so I’m stuck with ideas for lunch and dinner! I normally give her whatever we’ve made for dinner but mashed (chilli / spag Bol ) and she’s had BLW thi...

Hello all! Could you please give your opinions on giving baby cereal to a 4 month old? My Pediatrician recommended (well, more like DEMANDED) yesterday at her 4 month check up/shots that I go to the store and buy my 4 month old baby cereal and start it with her immediately. I would like to add that she is 96th perce...

My husband and I have been arguing about letting our toddler have a bite of candy on Halloween. I know a bite won’t hurt, but what’s the point? It’s not going to enrich her life in any way. Then she will see the packaging when we are out shopping and start begging for it. 40% of Americans are obese and I think we fe...

Anyone else feel like they're surviving on sugar and junk food just to stay awake and make it through the day 😂 I know I should try eating better and exercising for proper energy but baby doesn't sleep and I have a toddler so no time or energy for that 🙈😂

My toddler will not any veg whatsoever or solid fruit. He used to be such a good little eater and the past few weeks have been hard work trying to get any veg in him. I usually can get away with mixing it in stuff but he's becoming wise to my methods! Not sure what to do..I always put veg on his plate which he alway...

So i gave my 11 month old 2 little honey graham crackers for the first time as im trying to wean him into the food we eat and he turns 1 on the 20th of this month and he’s okay eating and doing everything perfectly fine. I was going to plan on trying to give him more anything more honey related of course every now a...

Has anybody who is EBF weaned? If so, how did you do it? I was hoping to wean before I go back to work in December / January, however it’s looking like it will be really challenging for these reasons: 1. Baby won’t take a bottle or drink milk from a sippy or open cup 2. Baby feeds to sleep 3. Baby wakes frequently ...

My son will not have his vitamins! I mix it with his water but he just gags at then refuses it. He’s started refusing any water now as he thinks it’s got his vitamins in 😩 what can I do? Thanks!

No matter what I do what I make he doesn’t even try the food he’ll snack on things but not eat a nice warm meal it’s been going on for about a week I don’t know if there’s a possibility he just is working on some more teeth or maybe be constipated but I need advice bad it’s just so frustrating to see him not even lo...

Excluding fruit/ veg, crackers, breadsticks, yogurt, baby crisps …

Do you kids know how to tell or show when there hungry and thristy or need something ?

I need inspiration for purées/mashed food as I am running out of ideas already! For reference… She is not fussy at all and seems to enjoy most things :) (FYI she is still not sitting completely unsupported/no peggies yet so will continue with purées until she seems more ready) Please send me inspiration of what...

Hi, my little boy us 8 months. We started on purees and I've gradually increased the lumps and textures. This morning I gave him banana pancakes which went better than expected which makes me less anxious. However, if I ever give a pouch of puree then he would eat the whole thing. However I don't think he ate as muc...

My baby is 6 months and we’re ready to start weaning. She has already tried broccoli a few times which she seems to really enjoy My question is do we start feeding 3 meals straight away? Or did you start with just adding one meal Also can I only introduce one new food every 3 days or is that just for main aller...

Feeling extremely stressed because I get health visitors opinions stuck in my head too much. My boy is 9 months old. He still hasn’t got any teeth. We’ve blended food for main meals and he also has hand held soft foods he has a go at too. The HV has told me to stop blending food and to let him feed himself with soli...

Hi my little one is 12 months now and still not interested in anything solid unless you’re talking a veggie stick but won’t touch no solid food and only touch yogurt purée and blue top milk. I try so hard everyday to offer different purées to solid food and just turns his head all the time, spits it out and cries so...
