If you’re doing BLW, are your babies eating the same food as you? If so, are you cooking without salt for for all the family or how are you doing it? I’m tired of cooking two separate foods every day for lunch and dinner but we eat with salt and I don’t want my baby to have salt…

My LO takes anything he wants from other kids or other people. He’d be eating a slice and will grab another one just to throw it. He doesn’t like copying anyone, so he doesn’t clap back or wave but he does enjoy watching us do them. This also extends to him not copying words, so he hasn’t spoken yet. He used to list...

We are going to a wedding in a few weeks and so I'm looking for some meals and snack ideas that aren't too messy. Baby girl is a good eater (mostly) but is very messy so hoping to take some food for her with minimal mess 🤞

Are these sizes okay for him? He's only got 4 top teeth and 3 on bottom. I'm using kebab bread as base. Just anxious with bread usually x

Anyone else’s baby use to eat everything you give them now just suddenly eating bits but throwing most on the floor 🤦🏻‍♀️ Food was never a problem for him until the past week he now just don’t like this or that and throws it on the floor 😂🫣

I know they say that at the beginning it’s for fun and exploring but my little one already seems fussy and picky 🙈 today was yoghurt and banana sticks. He tasted the yoghurt and did not like it so would not even attempt to put the banana in his mouth! I modelled myself trying it and licking (my) spoon but he just…

I've tried a few foods but they've all been so slippy by the time they're cooked enough for BLW, food either slips out his hands or breaks into pieces while hes holding it and then he can no longer pick up/ eat it. I cut how it says to online, I've tried shredded coconut on avocado but it just ends up coming off and...

Anyone experiencing the same or know how to help? My LB used to be a fab water, would have whatever we ate just modified e.g no salt/less spice. The last 2 weeks or so it seems a battle to get him to eat anything at meal times. We’ve cut out all snacks but it hasn’t seemed to help. Anyone’s little one the same or...

Want to make something for my lil girl 👧 💗 what's your babies fave foods made with puff pastry?

My 6 month old is having puréed veggies and some melty puffs in the day, but I see alot of videos of mums giving their babies toast, eggs etc. My baby isn’t that sturdy at sitting up yet, so do I stick to purees for now until she can sit up unaided? Then introduce more solid food? X

Month my mom started giving me cereal and fruit when I was 4 months old. I think my doctor said wait until 6 months to introduce food or maybe I read that online. I would love to start giving her food at 4 months following a baby food book that I have.

My son (turned 18 months yesterday!) has always been pretty good about eating, especially a fee things that we could always rely on him eating... but lately it seems like he doesn't want to eat ANYTHING! Anyone else in the same boat? We're giving him iron supplements, a multivitamin, and I try to have him sip on k...

My baby is 11 months old and want to try giving him yogurt , have any of you mamas try your baby on yogurt yet ?

Anyone have a recipe for pasta sauce suitable for baby? I’m not so good at cooking so have no idea where to start but don’t like giving her shop jars of pasta. She loves Heinz cheesy pasta so I’m trying to replicate it.

I was very much looking forward to BLW for my baby. We were visiting MIL the week before the baby turned 6 months. She was very interested in the food we were eating, so I cut up fruits appropriate for BLW (following clear advice from the Solid Starts app). The baby loved it - she gagged a bit as it was the first ti...

What foods are you doing or did you do at your baby shower? I’m having mine from 1-4 so that is in between meal times, we are thinking just like snack/finger foods. I need ideas! So far we are thinking fruits, veggies, chips and dip, and cookies. What else should we do?

any blw ideas (dairy free) for my boy?☺️ not too complicated to cook/prepare would be ideal🫶🏼

My daughter is 2 and the girl is literally TOO smart. I can’t sneak anything healthy into her food without her noticing. She’s been living off of oatmeal and chicken nuggets for a few months and I want her to be getting more nutrients

What age is ‘too old’ to give baby food pouches?

I see reels and videos of people making their baby food but I cannot cook I have no idea how to do anything so would love a book for this quick and easy things like fruit pancakes etc. Does anyone know a good one they could recomend please?
