My little one is poorly, had a fever all day even with regular doses of calpol (she was sent home from nursery yesterday) and she’s barely eating I think today she’s had a mouthful of porridge, a nibble of toast, a couple of Heinz biscotti’s Just made her tea and she won’t even attempt it and has settled on a ban...

Hi!🫶🏼 What’s everyone doing for their babies teas for baby led weaning? I’m sick of feeling like he just eats the same🤦🏼‍♀️ He’s 10 months nearly but has CMPA so foods are limited but he does love his food. His nickname is tank🥲🤣

How do you fit In food for your 6 month old while dealing with your 2.5 yr old toddler aswell. I want to try blw properly this time and give steamed veggies, avocado make homemade pancakes etc and watch my baby eat them as well as help him. But I’m also running around after my toddler trying to clean and cook etc. ...

My MIL bought a couple of these for LO - does anyone use them and recommend them (or not)? Wouldn't be very often, just once and a while when he stays at their house for tea. But I'm just a bit clueless and worried it's not good for him, although it seems okay from what I've read?

Hiya all I need home made snack recommendations for a 9-12 months old baby My baby isnt really enjoying meal times so i just feed her her meals on random intervals like a piece of tomato here, one piece of broccoli there I think she is not one to have a full meal at once but wants to have bits at a time

Any other moms still only doing purées and no finger foods? We tried little puffs recently and once he gagged, I got nervous and stopped. Hoping to connect with other moms that aren’t doing baby led weaning (not that there is anything wrong with baby led weaning; my anxiety just can’t handle it)

I keep seeing people post on tik tok what their 1 year olds are eating and it’s like salmon, mash and vegetables but my wee one doesn’t want that. Most of the time he just eats plain pasta for lunch because that’s all he really wants to eat. Feel like such a bad mum

Hi everyone, desperately in need of help. I'm a first time mom so everything is new and I'm learning along the way. I think I have created a negative association with solid food for my baby and I can't get her to start eating again. We started slowly introducing solids around 6 months and she was always very interes...

We currently have: Plastic tommy tippee spoon set (about 4 spoons) Bamboo plate with suction (1) Plastic munchkin bowls with suction (3) We recently got gifted Plastic bowl no suction (1) Plastic plate no suction (1) Metal cutlery set (fork, spoon and knife) My issues: - No suction set we used maybe twice but D...

I found these at aldi for my 4 year old but I wonder if my nearly 1 year old could have it too. I know it sounds silly but I don't really know if they will be okay?

Are you giving your baby meat at all?

Hi mamas my baby is 6mths and has really bad blocked nose he is refusing milk he is already a very fussy feeder i dont no what to do any advice will be amazing

What sort of snacks do you take when you go out on errands, shopping trips, etc? I think maybe I need to start taking picky bits in little tupperware boxes for my boy to nibble on as opposed to kiddylicious or Ella’s kitchen snacks 😅

I’m confused about snacks, please help! I offer my LB a bottle at 11am but he only drinks a few oz from it now. Do I stop offering it and replace with a snack? 🤷🏼‍♀️ or keep offering until he refuses it. Everything I read online says snacks are for when they are over 1?! 😫

Anyone else’s toddler still insist on using their hands to eat? Currently watching my toddler scoop porridge into her mouth using her fingers 🤣

Hi all. My 9mo has started to push food off his highchair. He has only recently started doing this, he normally loves his food. Any tips on how to stop this? TIA

Well the food aversions have started... 😓

My in laws keep trying to give my baby tastes of sugar when I have said many times no and have even let him taste fudge. We currently live with our in laws which it makes harder to avoid them. He’s not even on solids yet and they keep trying to do this

My 6 month (and a week) old still isn’t sitting unsupported, just supported. I didn’t realise how firm this was a rule for starting weaning. So far she has had some puree/mashed food once a day and is absolutely loving it! But have I started to soon?

What are all of you using for snacks? Trying to wean my baby and she is eating more snacks. She's eating lots of fruit snacks and go go squeeze pouches by was trying to get some more variety/healthy things. She can't have potatoes because it makes her tummy really upset!
