Is it a thing to give your baby food before bed for example porridge/baby rice? Does it work?

I’m really struggling to feed my baby. She doesn’t want to be fed and will not open her mouth if I try. She likes to feed herself and will not use a spoon, she just uses her fingers. I’m struggling to think of what foods to give to make it easy to use her fingers. I give a spoon with every meal and model using it to...

How can I make my 9 month old baby eat more food? She barely eats. Any food suggestions or recipes I can try which she will eat? Any techniques that will help? Please I am struggling.

Hi everyone, FT mum here :) My baby boy is now 5 months old and I would like to start prepping for him to start having solids. I’ve been seeing a few things on BLW here (fun facts for the longest time I’ve been trying to figure out what B.L.W stood for on this app.😅😂) Where do I begin? I know I will need to…

How has everyone found weaning if baby has a cows milk allergy? We have been told by the dietician we will get professional support on the best ways to wean, best meals etc when he is 6 months l, which is definitely going to be helpful for us. But I’m still dreading it. What kind of adaptations do you have to do?

Our doctor says my baby is ready to start solids! It’s bittersweet because I’ve been waiting for this day but also not ready. She says we can start with baby cereal mixed into his formula in the bottle. Or we can do stage 1 purées either by themselves or also mixed into the bottle, just to make the formula a little ...

For those of you who have started solids with your LOs, are you doing purées, BLW or a combo? Have any of you tried the solids start app? Is it worth the subscription price? Any other tips and resources are welcome please!!

Anyone else's 10months old barely eating anything? Its so tough to get food into his tummy. He wont open his mouth if I am spoon feeding. And if he eats anything by himself, he would spit it out after chewing it & wont swallow. 😪 Please tell me if there is anyone else in the same boat as me or any advices pls.

my little boy is cmpa and i’m really struggling to think of dinners that we can all enjoy together, my brain goes completely blank😂

I’ve just started weaning baby. How long do you think it’s wise to give just veg before offering meat, eggs and nuts? Obvs do all singularly to start.

We’re going away for 3 days next week and obviously won’t be able to cook any solids. Apart from ready made pouches, what else can I give? He has 3 meals a day.

Hi, please advise how I can make it toddler (1 yr old) friendly as soy sauce has a lot of salt. Please add your recipes 😊

My 9m old really isn’t bothered about bread/toast/sandwiches/crumpets/breakfast muffin type items. We do porridge and yogurt/fruit. But what other things are people making their LO’s for breakfast and lunch that doesn’t involve bready items? He’s not a fan of scrambled egg either. Leftovers are great but we don’t ha...

Hi there, after some experience / reassurance! My 10 month old is EBF and pretty rubbish at eating. He won’t eat out and about and doesn’t eat much at home. I offer three meals a day. I feed to sleep for every nap and bedtime and he won’t take a bottle at all. He is going to nursery next week and I’m so worried he’s...

It gets a bit dull seeing weaning posts. I'm a FTM so it's all new for all of us. We've started weaning before 6 months (turns 6m on 27th) as my EBF baby was up 2 nights in a row just wanting to feed. Safe to say my nippes couldn't take it anymore. I've seen people say weaning is messy and rightly so it's playing wi...

My little girl is 18 months this month and she has always been a great eater, she is just refusing everything recently! It has got me so worried. Just wondered if anyone else has / is experiencing the same with their little one and any advice x

Anyone else's baby seem to have gone off food? Ours will try anything but lately she will have one or two mouthfuls and the rest goes on the floor 🫠 She will eat porridge, yoghurt and fruit but not much else! She has also gone a bit fussy with her milk

Is anyone else really struggling to wean? My LB is almost 8 months old and he won’t eat a thing. Tried BLW and purées. He won’t eat anything. Ready to pull my hair out. Someone please help 😩

My little girl has become SO fussy. I'm getting worried that her diet is becoming so restricted and dinner is nearly always a no lately! Anyone else going through the same issues?

What do you feel your poorly babies? My boy seems to be abit under the weather and hasn't eaten much at all. He has cows milk in the morning but won't touch it the rest of the day so I really need to find something that he might actually eat!!
