Breakfast Ideas

Morning, I've always given my LG Wetabix with Milk and Fresh Banana but she seems to be getting bored of it - The reason I've always gone this option is because, it's quick, easy and she gets her dose of dairy, grains and fruit in the morning. I was just wondering what everyone else feeds their LO's for breakfast ...

Breakfast meltdowns

Anybody else’s little one having absolute meltdowns at breakfast when previously enjoyed eating solids at this time!? Do I keep trying to feed him or just miss the meal all together ?

Feeding

Do we still feed on demand? My LO is 5 months now and he rarely has any sort of hunger cues and will go 5 hours without a feed. I don't know whether I should be feeding at set times now or still just waiting for him to tell me when he's hungry

Feeding

I ebf my 6 month old baby girl and our pediatrician said i can now feed her purées too. I asked her how long for and she said until she’s about 9 months old to stick to purées then start chunking it up and trying solids. What did your peds say and how long are you doing purées for?

Did I take it too far bc they're kids?

Hubby thinks so but I don't. So I make my son lunch which was kimbap his favorite & when he came home I checked his lunchbox & he only ate 1 piece. My son eats damn near as much as me & he's 7.

Does your baby eat dinner with you?

I'd really love to eat dinner together as a family, but she eats around 5 every night and goes to bed at like 7:30. My husband and I don't usually start cooking for ourselves until after she's in bed. I would love to eat earlier, but I also don't want to spend the little time i get with her after work cooking dinner...

Need reassurance pls

I’m a first time mom, my almost 6 month old started purées about a week ago and it has been going great but today, I’d say about an hour after having avocado & banana (she’s had at least 5 days each now) she vomited A TON. I swear she emptied her stomach of all food and milk. But she is acting totally normal and unb...

3 meals a day?

Hi ladies, just wanted to ask, is everyone doing like proper 3 meals a day for their baby? I'm only giving small bits for her to try, but reading that people are doing meals, I'm starting to panic, whether I should be doing that too!

Son not eating

I’m stressed, my son has been a ‘fussy’ eater for well over a year (despite eating everything when he was younger), nursery have been substituting his meals with an alternative (toast or crackers) & are saying soon they’ll need to stop this as it’s making the other children want that food too. It’s possible he’s com...

Foods

I know that a lot of moms say "solids for fun till they're 1". But my son absolutely loves food. If I don't share my food with him he will scream and cry and try to snatch it from me/try to climb up my legs. I feed him purees 3 times a day but he won't eat them like he use to, he loves chewing his food. Am I okay to...

Garlic Bread

Hi All, has anyone gave their CMPA babies garlic bread yet? I through the bread was in garlic butter so I’ve never tried it with my little boy but after looking at the ingredients nothing mentions butter or milk or any dairy so I didn’t know if anyone has actually tried it with their baby yet?
