Hey there, So our one year has always been kind of slow on the eating front. We’ve gotten to the point where he is now handling level 3 purées and maybe potatoes/sweet potatoes but everything else solid food wise, he refuses to try or if he does, he will gag or spit it out. Should I be concerned given his age? It...

I've been trying to introduce solids to my 6 month old for 3/4 weeks now, and she absolutely hates it. I was excited to give her purees and see her experience trying new vegetables and fruits... But she will burst into the biggest fussy fit... This morning I gave her some oatmeal with pear mixed with formula So f...

Any tips to get my 11month old to actually eat off a plate and leave his drink on the tray? He only likes to eat off his tray. And when he's finished with his drink he throws it away. Hates it being near him if he's not thirsty?

does your LO eat any meat in chunks coz mine doesn’t. He will only eat mince meat mixed with veggies

I have to post as incognito as I am so ashamed of the situation. We started to wean our baby when he turned 4 months. We started with single ingredient purée and blended fruits and then moved slowly towards pieces of veggies and fruits for him to eat with his hands. Not once in 7 months he has been enjoying his food...

When did you start your baby on purées

Hey ladies! I introduced purées to my 7 month old about a month ago. I was wondering how many times you feed your baby purées in a day? Also any tips on how to serve the babies real food? My Doctors said she can try like shredded chicken or eggs amongst other foods but she doesn’t have teeth yet? So not sure how she...

I’m prepared for hate. My 13 month old won’t eat very much. He really only eats soup and bread. He doesn’t like meat at all he’s had one chicken nugget that he actually finished but won’t even try them now. I’m looking for more foods to feed him cause I hate that he eats the same meals. He likes plain oatmeal and ch...

My baby girl is 8 month and I haven’t really started blw her teeth haven’t erupted yet but they are definitely about to . I’m just nervous she’s really Good with puree and the teething crackers and all those snacks what food should I start with

Has anyone else’s baby started being really fussy with food? My LB barely seems to eat anything at the moment (unless it’s sweet, processed or out of a packet 🙄) it’s getting to the point that I’m worrying about his nutritional intake. Does anyone have any advice? Please and thank you 😊

I'm not in any hurry for him to feed himself, but currently I need to spoonfeed everything like yogurt, cereal, mashed foods etc. He eats great with his hands but I wanted to try teaching him how to use a spoon for more liquidy foods. Is there any spoons that are best for toddlers learning? I've seen loads, all dif...

Looking for recipe ideas. There’s so much information online that I feel so overwhelmed. What are you feeding your LO? If you can recommend anyone too that’ll be fab 💜

I feel so overwhelmed with the amount of mixed information online. Can someone recommend me recipes for weaning/BLW. Thank you 💜

When did everyone start giving meals? My LO is just over 6m, obsessed with food! Has a little bit of something for breakfast, lunch and dinner but they aren't actual meals. Just finger foods/mashed food for spoon feeding, still trying new foods as well. But I'm wondering when I should start giving her actual meals a...

Is anyone else having issues getting your 2 year old to eat? Ivy will literally eat like 3 things and sometimes she won’t even eat that! I get nervous because she’s skinny. I know she eats at least something in a day which a doctor told me a while back that as long as she’s eating something she’s not going to waste ...

My son is 6 months and has good head control, can sit well with some support and is able to bring all his toys to his mouth to chew on independently. I am doing baby led weaning with some spoon feeding.. so far I’ve given avocado on day 1 and banana on day 2 and he hasn’t really liked it, he didn’t even attempt to m...

Wondering if anyone is in the same boat? My LO is now just over 13 weeks (nearly 15 weeks re adjusted as he was 10 days late) and he has been showing signs of weaning and teething from week 11. He has been two weeks ahead of milestones per my week by week baby book and is now cutting teeth (I can feel them when appl...

How to deal with toddlers not listening? I shouted the first time today and lost it. I feel so bad right now but it’s just so hard to deal with it everyday. It happens during mealtimes, where he doesn't stay on the table, eat a spoon and goes to the living room and play. I keep telling him calmly to finish his food ...

Please share snacks your 1yo loves.. I need ideas 😊✨

Help 🙈 First time Mummy here, my Daughter will be 2 in December and I feel like her diet is a symphony of Beige! At the beginning of her weaning she ate a wide range of fruits and vegetables without a problem and did right up until 15/16 months. These days I’m struggling big time to get any fruits or vegetables…
