My 1 1/2 year old

Hey mommas, my son has poor eating habits. All he wants is French fries, fruits, smoothies and pasta, Occasionally he’ll eat rice and beans sometimes chicken nuggets. But it’s so hard. Sometimes I give him what he wants just to make sure he eats. But I’m thinking of starting over with pures. Any thoughts ?

HELLLPPP

My 13 month old daughter has been such a difficult eater for quite some time but I’m now at my breaking point. She eats 2 4oz meals of puree a day. She will eat things like cucumbers, fruit, veggies, or pasta but when she feeds herself she will take a few bites and be done. That’s why I have to go in with puree to m...

Send pics of your baby’s meal please!

Can you share a photo of your baby’s food/meals? Just to get an idea of what everyone is serving their babies, and the style (puréed or how big solid food is etc.) Thank you!!

Not a breakfast eater

I myself I’ve never been much of a morning eater, usually I make myself a coffee and I am good until about lunchtime. My little one seems to be taking on that trait, in the sense that when I try to give her any kind of food in the morning she may have a couple bites if I’m lucky, but then start feeding the rest of t...

Struggling to get 3 meals in?

Am I a bad mum? I’m really struggling to find time to get 3 solid meals in for my son. We wake up and he has porridge when we eat breakfast. Then, if I eat lunch out I usually give him some of whatever I’m having or I prepare a lunch at home, but this can sometimes be at 2-4pm ish. I then struggle to find time ...

Weaning

How is it all going? My 7 month old seems to dislike all veggies, managed to get her to eat sweet potato a week ago and now she is refusing that as well. She also refuses carrots, courgette, avocado, peas, green beans, sweet corn, broccoli, cauliflower 😂 Loves fruit, yoghurt and porridge though. Do I still give…

Baby weaning

So my little girl is 7 months old, my mother in law sometimes prepares her little meals but the most recent one she used 1/4 of a stock cube (that was in 1 large carrot, a sweet potato, chicken, sprouts and broccoli I think) I said I’d rather not give her it because of the salt and she got really pissy about it… am ...

I tried giving my baby a slice of cucumber like I have done with the carrots and it was really bad, I tried it and it’s just too hard. How do your babies eat the cucumber?

Eating

Just wondering if anyone is going through something similar… Dinner time! Absolute hell. Everything I seem to make recently I get told “I don’t like it” sometimes without her even trying it. She’ll take a few bites or will just eat the veg for example and won’t even touch the rest because she “doesn’t like it” w...

Peanut butter

I’m overthinking but I want to introduce peanuts to my 6 month old, is this one ok to use? I’ll probably mix it in with some porridge unless anybody has any other suggestions?

Do I add water or baby’s milk when I’m making purées?

I pureed some peas today for my baby who just turned 6 months today and had her first taste, I added a couple oz of water and made a few batches of the purée but I just read somewhere you should add baby’s milk?!

Starting food

Hi! I’ve seen alot about starting certain soft foods at 4 months both from family/friends and things I’ve seen online. My little one has just turned 16 weeks and I’m wondering if anyone has started at that type of age and their experience. Lo is really interested in grabbing things and putting them in his mouth ...
