Baby is 5.5 months and we've started trying to wean with veg purees, the first day my baby was really keen and happy to take off a spoon but since then they're completely not interested, turning head away completely and really doesn't want it.

How are we keeping our babies busy when they need to sit still (without snacks)?

I have a super active, high energy guy who sometimes just needs to be relatively still and quiet (ex. When waiting at his older sister's ballet class, he can roam a little but not go on the dancefloor etc). When I bring toys he loses interest very fast (like 30 seconds per toy) and makes a LOT of noise with the toys...

What do you tend to have for dinner?

I wasn’t much of a cook but I’ve been living in the kitchen since baby has been on three meals. But, I honestly am getting really stuck with what to make. She is in a fussy phase but even then I don’t think I was that adventurous with meals. I’m very lazy but also want something really nutritious but also she will j...

Weaning frustrations

My baby is 7 months and 1 week and is just not interested in food. I know main nutrition still comes from milk etc. but I thought over a month later she might be starting to show some interest but she spits out everything and most of the time won't even put it in her mouth. I'm concerned she will get behind in learn...

I'm upset baby has had chocolate biscuit in nursery

LO has never had chocolate and I've seen on pics on the app he's eating a choc biscuit. I've purposely not given anything like that as they're not a great eater and want to establish eating whole fresh foods before introducing sugar. I just wouldn't have expected nursery to be giving sugary biscuits to a 12 month ol...
