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?

Homemade sweet and sour chicken curry for my 9 month old!!🩵he’s loving it

My little one is 9.5months. She loves all of her food and we’ve done a lot of different foods, mostly of which is textured but nothing overly choke-risk. She loves toast and will play with it in her hands but will not bring it to her mouth at all. She would much prefer you to do this for her and if you don’t she ge...

is anyone else terrified of solids? my daughter just puts the full food in her mouth so i’m having to cut things small, but then wondering is it too small :///

I keep seeing posts of babies at this age eating proper food but mine is barely managing to tolerate purees some days. Finger foods she'll just throw around or spit out but rarely swallow.

So was going to cook leek and potato soup for me and my little girl soon to be 7 months is okay to add the double cream or because she’s not 1 yet is best I wait?

Hi girls! My son will only eat vegetables for his dinner 🙈 if I make something with veg on the side, he will only eat the veg!! Like tonight I have made a nice lasagna and tried to feed him it, nope just the veg! I’ve even put the lasagna and veg on his highchair table with his fork and he’s only going for the…

He will be 1 year next month and still hardly eats. Even when he seems starving and is grabbing for us to put the plate in front of him he will only eat maximum half the plate. He then keeps indicating he wants breastfed. How do I get him to reduce his breastfeeds and eat more solids. He also wakes throughout the ...

Toddler is not for the weak. All I wanna do is enjoy my breakfast but my 2yrs old has other plans.

today was an easy, low effort & well balanced plate! she had sweet potato pancakes, raspberry oatmeal with fortified iron oatmeal & hemp seeds, & avocado slices rolled in shredded coconut to help her pick them up! 😍😋🥑🍠🥞🥥🥣 when you serve iron source foods (specifically non-heme iron foods) it’s best to serve…

Ladies! My 18 month old son has been refusing solids for about 2, 3 weeks now. I’ve tried cooking different things and having him eat together with us at the table, but nothing. I’ve also tried putting safe foods on the plate to encourage him to try different things - he only eats the safe things and screams to be...

Hey mamas, I've seen parents keep goody bags for all kids in the class when it's their child's birthday. I have two questions, do we need to give something to the teachers as well? And any ideas for what I can give for my LOs 2nd birthday? I've usually seen small toys, whistles, and coloring books. Is a healthy nut/...

Hi ladies I posted about this before.. my almost 14 month old still doesn’t eat. Now it’s getting to the point where I feel like he’s eating even less than before. It’s so frustrating because everyday for three meals I’m making things and he refuses to eat everything. He was eating bananas and eggs and pasta (those...

Is it ok to mix some Greek style plain yogurt with tuna as a ‘tuna mayo’ topping for my 16 month old? Just wasn’t sure if it’s ok to mix yogurt with fish 🙈 Can’t have actual mayo. Thanks

Is there anything close to kendamil? What's the second option you would feed your baby?????? 😭

Massively over thinking this baby led weaning but my boy is so ready and I know he is so tonight I’m having a Sunday dinner (on a Thursday I know) can I give my little one some mashed potatoes and broccoli? Be honest with me as I don’t have a clue what am doing 😂
