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...

My Lo is nearly 8 months and still does not eat any food. We have tried purées and BLW. And he is just not interested. He gags most of the time and is sometimes sick. He will put things to his mouth pull a face and that’s it he will close his mouth the rest of the time. I just don’t know when I should start to be co...

I have some plates that stay suctioned down but I cannot find any bowls! Send links, recommendations,pics, anything! My daughter makes it a mission to take everything off her tray 😅

Hi, FTM here. We had my son’s 4 month check up today and she said he is good to add oatmeal cereal to his breast milk bottles in the evening to help him sleep longer stretches (usually still wakes up every 3-4 hours in the night to eat). Any recommendations for what brand? I know some people say to wait until 6 mo...

I hope I am not the only one struggling to get a bite down my toddlers throat. My little girl won’t eat. It has been going on for over a month now. I spoke with her doc they told me it was a phase , she’s healthy and that she’ll grow out of it. To offer her different varieties of food. Which I did but still nothing....

My son is almost 2 💙 he drinks more than he eats. What can I do to make him eat more? What are some options?

Hi everyone, Just thought I’d come on here and ask how blw is going for those who have chosen this route. I started at 5.5 months as baby girl was showing all the signs of readiness. we’re a month in and so far her faves are avocado on toast, boiled egg and cheesy broccoli pasta. She cannot stand sweet potatoes (I ...

What sources of protein would you give at dinner? She generally finds mince beef easier but I only do that occasionally

She has a munchkin 360 cup and she barely drinks any. Maybe half at most all day. Her poos are not constipated and she eats fruit but I’m wondering whether I should put some squash in the cup? What are your thoughts?

Hi all My baby just turned 5 months and he’s been having issues with feeding. HV and feeding advisor suggested for us to start him on solid. I contacted the GP to get a go ahead from them and they said that’s fine. GP suggested to start with a thick food but they suggested one of those boxed porridge/cereal, but I ...

What snacks are you all making for your almost 1 year old? I make yogurt muffins for him and we have fruit but is there anything else you’re making without high sugar? I was thinking I would try goldfish next but it says it’s a choking hazard until they’re over 1. Thanks!

Show Me What You Feed Your 7 Month Old Mommies

My son was pretty late transitioning to soft solids but we did it and he was doing well with it for around a month. It took him a while to eat because he only had four teeth but he would eat a decent amount each meal. Then he suddenly started refusing to eat much of the soft solids and I thought that was because he ...

I am stressed lmao

Sorry, another weaning question. My little girl was born 3rd April. We've been weaning for around a week and a bit. What does this look like for your babies? Are they actually eating or just tasting still? Do they consume much? Are you giving just fruit and veg or an actual meal?

Anyone else going through this? He absolutely loves breakfast foods like weetabix, yogurt, toast etc and of course snacky things like oat bars etc. But the last two days my boy has refused to eat any actual meals for lunch and dinner. When he skipped lunch I assumed he would be hungry for dinner but last night he ...
