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!

Hey mamas what was the earliest you started to give your baby cereal and how much, how many times a day and how often did you increase the amount? Also I want to know when was the earliest you all started solid foods with your baby? 💕

Hi all. My LG has always been a picky eater since turning 1. She has been slowly moving towards a beige diet ever since and id say she is now completely beige for only. She used to eat such colourful and lovely foods but now dosent want any flavour in food at all. She's very slight as it is and I'm always worrying t...

Hello! How do you feed your baby when she doesnt want to sit in her high chair? She likes her high chair before but now she resists being put on it.

little love had mashed charro beans with white rice and onions/tomato mixed in, 1/2 of a corn tortilla soaked in the broth from the beans to soften it & 1 kiwi with half of the skin left on to allow her to get a better grip when holding it 🫶🏻

Would appreciate pictures of what you give your little ones for lunch please. My boy is 10 months old. I was wondering if and how you would serve a sandwich? He tends to shove too much in his mouth then gags!

Hi! My baby has been so difficult to transition to table food and only wants to eat purees everything else gets thrown on the floor and she refuses to put it near her mouth. Anyone else have these issues? Worried about her ending formula next week on her birthday 🥲

Anyone else LO just doesnt like rice yet? My bubs is nearly 10months I know I need to give it several times & that its totally okay if they reject it during first few attempts. Just need some reassurance as its a quick meal which I can give to him if am running late. He spits it out as soon as I give him some. Or j...

Anyone else's 2 year old picky? My son mainly just wants to eat things like yogurt, whipped strawberry cream cheese & pudding. He'll eat other things here & there. But it's mainly the other 3. Could it be a texture thing or just picky?

Please can I have some different lunch ideas for my 15 month old? Thank you!

How is everyone giving dinner to their 2.5 year olds? Do you always sit at the table, how do you keep LO at the table and concentrating on eating? I'm having trouble getting my LG to sit and eat dinner without running around the house! Am I asking too much as she's so young still?

My pediatrician said I can start my little one on purées at his 4 month check up. I’m not sure how often I should be feeding him. He is breastfeeding as well, and usually he eats every 4 hours. So what I’ve been doing is, I have been breast-feeding him and pumping every two hours to keep my milk supply up and make m...

With your reaction, does it come from a pl...
