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 ...

My LO is 15 months old, he’s always been such a good eater but recently he’s become mr independent, he won’t let us feed him (for instance tonight we had rice) he can’t feed himself yet he just ends up throwing it everywhere but he won’t let us feed him either!! I don’t know what to do, every meal time he’s just hav...

I’m just wondering how everyone else is doing with feeding baby food at dinner time but also trying to cook yourself dinner. I wanted to try eat with her but it proofed to be a real challenge trying to multitask everything. I think it’s gonna have to be late dinner for the parents going forward 😅 unless anyone has…

I want to start off by saying that I cook and make 90% of my baby’s food, so I don’t want to hear any of that thou holier than me cause you raise your own chickens and shit. That’s great and awesome and I admire you if you do, but I’m a scrunchy mom that feeds as clean as I can within my limits but doesn’t worry abo...

What is everyone planning on giving their baby as their first food to try?

According to dad, babysitter and grandparents he eats really well for them but NOT for me. I have him in the morning and early afternoon every day and he will only eat 1 or 2 things of everything I put in front of him. Today for breakfast I gave him some graham crackers while I prepared oatmeal. He ate the cracker...

My baby tries to eat everything, well if we don't take it away she will. She likes to play with water bottles but we have to remove the label beforehand or she will eat it. She'll try to eat paper, wrappers, wipes, etc. Is this just a phase? She's almost 11 months old.

What do yall pair with black eyed peas that your kids under 5 eat?

Anyone’s else’s baby just still really not interested in food? I know people say food before one is fun, but just doesn’t ever want anything. Offered so many different variety of things

Is it really that bad to give a petit filous to my 8 month old? Weaning is horrendous as he hates everything and pretty much refuses all food. I’m making all meals from scratch but he has a spoonful or so. I’ve done the whole natural yoghurt and added in blended fruits but to be honest we are left with so much waste...

What’s everyone’s baby’s fav meals? I’m finding it all very stressful and overwhelming to think of good meals, there is so much pressure on social media about giving these young baby’s such fancy meals which is making me feel like a bad mum

We have Thanksgiving this weekend and I’m trying to incorporate our babe into dinner. He’s 7.5 months, and mostly prefers mashed foods but is starting to grasp BLW slowly. My son has Cerebral Palsy, impacting his left hand, so he tends to get frustrated self-feeding which is why he tends to prefer mashed, so I can h...

My son is 13 months old and it seems impossible to get him to eat anything that isn’t puréed. He will eat toast, soreen (malt loaf) baby snacks/melts, bananas and baked beans but anything else I offer him just gets thrown on the floor but I feel he’s not getting enough nutrients from these basic and rather bland foo...

What are you giving for your babies to eat? I'm stuck with a few vegetables: Sweet potato Potato Carrots Broccoli Cauliflower Parsnips Butternut squash Garden peas I mix them with each other, but it seems my lo got bored of it? Or doesn't like some flavour combinations. So, for the last week, he didn't have ...

Hey, my lo has had a fever for the last couple of days, with a red throat and red ears. He’s not been sleeping well, and has eaten barely any solids yesterday and so far today. He’s not interested in drinking much either. Does anyone have any tips on how to get him to eat or drink more? Thank you 🙏

Hi All, My baby is 6months&2weeks old. When we eat as a family she shows interest in watching us eat so I tried her with some foods for the last 3 weeks and she’s not interested she just plays with it or spits in our pulling faces. She does put the spoon to her mouth so she knows what and where it goes but Every...
