If your baby already turned 1, have you transitioned to whole milk yet? Kinda nervous about the transition since some days he doesn’t eat a lot of solids…

Tips for weaning -7 months old

Help! I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. My little one does not like food! I’ve tired pouches, blending, baby lead weaning and my little one does not like anything in his mouth he just gags and wretches. The only thing he will do is suck on a melty puff until it dissolves in his mouth. Any one got any tips?

Dinner after nursery?

If your 10 month old ate breakfast, lunch, tea & snacks (and ate most of it all) at nursery would you still give them a dinner?

Feeding baby

Idk if this is a dumb question but my baby is 8 months and eating mostly purées and doing some baby led weaning. I’m wondering where I’m able to start giving him some of the food that I cook? Like should you wait until after a year because of sodium/salt content or is it okay for them to have some of your cooked meals?

Is anyone's LO using a spoon confidently? And how did you teach it?

I give my little boy a spoon to use but he just won't 🤣 he will spend his whole meal just chewing on the spoon instead of using it to eat and ends up eating with his hands anyway, the spoon is literally just there for emotional support🤣🤷🏻‍♀️ HOW do you teach them to use it? Or will they just kinda pick it up…
