Picky Eater

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…

Weaning

I plan on doing a mixture of baby led weaning and pureed foods. When I feed my LO purées, should I encourage her to finish the whole bowl? I know it will vary with whether she likes it or not and if she’s interested in food that day but im just not sure when I should be encouraging her to finish/try some more.

Meals

What times are you giving your baby food? I do 8am brekkie, 12:30 lunch, 5:30 tea but I don’t do any snacks! Should I be adding in snacks? And should lunch and tea be a bit earlier for 7:30 bed?
