I try to ween him off formula with baby food but he doesn’t like most of them and i dont know what to actually give give him that he would like

My ten month old was a late bloomer where solids were involved. His pediatrician told us to start giving him purées at 4 months, but he had a difficult time with the spoon (throwing a fit out of sheer frustration). At 7 months, we tried again, and he was way more receptive. So, I’ve been puréing ever since, slowly a...

I feel so bad but my LO is still eating purées. I try so hard. I make all sorts of meals and offer finger food every day but he throws EVERYTHING. He knows how to eat - I have seen him eat toast and pasta and fruit veg when he wants to buy 95% of the time he doesn’t eat

My little one is 7 and a half months, she did so well at the start of weaning and was loving her food. She’s not gone completely off it and I just don’t know what to do. Is this normal? Feels like we are back to square one

Solids where do I start, what do I offer, when to change to something new help help help so stressed 😂do we wait till teeth come though ?

I was going to make flan for my baby, which only has 3 ingredients, and I'm only adding one egg because it'll be a small portion for him.

Wondering when you all moved to 3 meals a day/if any of you have yet? Little one turned 8 months today and I’m currently only giving breakfast and dinner. Also any lunch ideas appreciated!

Does anyone else feel like their baby is still taking more calories from milk than food? My boy is breast fed and has a feed first thing, breakfast about an hour after, lunch, feed to sleep, tea, feed to sleep. I just feel like he pisses about at meal times and hardly eats anything. I'm starting to get a bit worrie...

Hiya, my daughter isn’t gaining weight as quickly as they want. She is 14 weeks tomorrow.. she had a tongue tie and is learning to relatch after her procedure 2 weeks ago. During the day, she will only feed for 5 minutes at a time, then during the night will feed for longer. I’m getting stressed over feeding because...

18 months next week! I'm a little worried about how much shes actually eating! She plays with her food so much and I understand its important for her development so I try to leave her to it. Shes practicing with a fork- and doesn't want me feeding her with it! She has breakfast no problem. Lunch and dinner are p...

Loved doing this last time so here we go again! What has everyone got planned meals wise for the upcoming week? Loved all the different dinner ideas last time! Please include the dinners your little ones will be eating with you 💗!

I had a mental breakdown today over my 3.5yr old not eating. This has been an issue since I can remember. He's barely gained any weight over the last year, and he's obviously been dropping on his weight and height percentiles, but the hv and gp think there's nothing to worry about, "some kids just don't have a big a...

Anyone have any tips to make this super easy? Or any ideas for foods? One of the children has a milk allergy too so need to take that into account so a few things or something that would be safe for him too

Looking for BLW meal ideas please! Some recipes I've seen include quite extravagant ingredients that I'm not prepared to buy! My daughter is just starting out

Hello! My ladybug will be 9 months on the 5th. She eats okay… but lately she’s really been only eating meat. I offer her veggies, fruit, a carb and meat. She’ll eat very little of the veggie, and it’s like she knows what the meat is 🤣🤣 is this okay? Anyone else’s baby like this?

So my son has never really been a good eater but recently he’s just refusing anything I put in front of him, even stuff that I know he likes, he barley eats all day and is waking at the nights which I’m assuming is because he’s hungry, anyone have any tips or advice ?

I’ve been giving my bubs purées since 6 months and have made it more mashed/chunky. From the info given to me I should be moving on to more finger foods soon and I am absolutely terrified. I know baby CPR, I’ve watched gagging vs choking videos etc, it’s not an educational thing, more like deep rooted anxiety about ...

I did baby led weaning with my little boy and he was feeding himself at 1. My in laws and my husband would always spoon feed him to prevent mess but I'd let him self feed. He feeds himself at nursery but doesn't eat as much as he.would at home. He will eat bits of food himself at home but then just sits there starin...

Hi all, Need some ideas on how to get my little girl to eat lunch! She’s had hand foot and mouth so the appetite has gone downhill however she refuses to entertain sandwiches for lunch, pasta etc. I’ve had to resort to “picky bits” on a tray and just hope and pray she eats them. Is anyone else’s like this? If so...
