My baby love love love the Ella’s kitchen pouches, she has it once per day. Mainly the meat and veggies pouches. I feel bad as it’s store bought even though it says organic. But she loves it so much 🥹 is it okay to keep giving it to her on a daily basis? For lunch only.

Hey, I’m hoping some of you can help. We have a 1 year old cockapoo who’s always been a fussy eater. As a puppy we must have tried 10 different foods before when found one she would eat. But then after a few weeks/months she would go off it and the cycle would start again. Just before she turned 1 we changed her t...

does anyone have any recommendations on foods i can give my almost 7 month old that she can pick up and eat? she’s super interested in stuff she can feed to herself. so far i’ve given her those little teether wafer things and some squished up bananas but id love more ideas :)

I know I posted about this before but what was the first foods you guys tried with your babies that wasn't a puree? I see alot of people doing egg and Avocado scrambled, or strips of egg. My 7 month old has his first tooth and I'm really feeling the pressure to change the texture more but I'm so nervous about choking.

How do you keep your baby from opening the oven hanging from the handle?

How/when did your babies learn to chew solid foods? Mine just bites a chunk of and leaves it in his mouth, then falls out eventually lol

My LO is 23 mths and eats all his food at nursery - two hot meals a day. But they hide the kids veg and mash it up which is causing a bit of an eating issue at home. He’s got a great appetite but i want them to give him chunkier food as it’s creating a problem which he didn’t have a year ago with textures!! Is th...

My 17 month old will not eat actual meals!! She loves her snacks- Fruits, pouches, bars, cheese sticks, veggie sticks, etc. but will not eat actual meals, even tonight she refused mac and cheese but I don’t want her to be up in the middle of the night starving so she ended up eating a pouch and a cheese stick. Are w...

I’m freaking out. My husband gave my son (2.5 years old) sushi with raw tuna in it. What are the risks associated with this because I’m reading this is unacceptable before 5 years😭😭

As the title says I just came here to vent. If any place is acceptable to do it I feel it's here. My little guy got sick and has since gotten better. Just now he doesn't want to eat. I know he has lost some weight. I know even adults do when we are sick. Just he feels a lot lighter than the 17 lbs he used to weigh. ...

So my little boy is 6 months and he loves his fruit purees but he doesn't like the lumpy ones at all. We have started blw and he just isn't taking to anything I'm worried he is going to be really hungry because he is only eating fruit 🫣

I'm trying to do better with my snacking habits.. since you ladies have been pregnant are there any healthy snacks you like?

So my newborn was born on the 11th and as all you all know thanks giving is coming up on the 14. My newborn will be a month old by then but I feel very iffy about going to thanks giving dinner with all my family and my husbands family dinner as well. I really don’t want my baby to get sick as it’s RSV season, are an...

I make a little more then enough to feed my daughter but I’d like you to produce a little bit more. Any tips?

Hi everyone, my 6 month old was fed honey by his grandparents (obviously behind my back). What do I do? I know babies can’t have it under 1 so I’m trying not to freak out. Share some reassurance in any way please 😢

I’m not sure if this is even a thing but do food consultants exist? We are at our wits ends with our little boys eating, or lack of should I say. This isn’t a new thing, it’s been this way from weaning. Does anyone know of any private professionals that can help us please?

Does anyone else just struggle with lunch for their toddler? He hardly eats anything and when he does it’s never a balanced meal

My LO eats more fruit than veg it’s hard to convince him to try he’s picky anyway so veg he’s always had an issue with I have to mix it in somthing to for him to try

I think I am pretty late to BLW. My daughter will be 11 months old. We have just started our BLW journey. Prior to this she has been on 3 meals a day, but spoon fed / pureed / mashed up meals. I have now transitioned to BLW. She can eat by herself and chew, but she’s very slow and never finishes her meal. (If it was...

What do you give your lo before they go into nursery? She tends to wake about 6:30 and in just before 8. I used to give her milk but feel she maybe a bit old for that now?
