So we're going to start soon as he's almost 6 months. Do u do purees aswell as BLW? I mean like porridge with fruit. It's all changed since my last child(he's 18) Did u go straight in with 3 meals a day? Or build upto it

My lo is born towards end of dec and he’s now refusing to eat meals!!! Yesterday he had scrambled eggs, 2 waffles and 2 rice wafers all day! Today he refused weetabix and had 2 spoons..I know there’s a stage where they refuse foods so can I have ideas that other mums gone thru that works for them in terms of getting...

My LO is 10months old but eating so little. She is eating as 6 months old. I’m getting worried about her nutrition and weight. She was so small as compared to other babies at her age but still I’m a bit worried about her nutrition. Photo of her for size and so we don’t get lost.

What meals and snacks are you offering? Need some inspo

Has anyone else managed to capture your baby's reaction to a food they're unsure about? Would love to see them. This was Bronte's reaction to a falafel and hummus baby food. 🤣 Bit too adventurous for now, I think!

So, he's fine with being messy and likes experimenting with different textures etc. But he just hates having tiny crumbs on his fingers and will shout at me to remove them. Anyone else having this at the moment? Im guessing its just because he's seeing more details now? Nothing helpful on google so thought Id ask he...

Like jeez little dude I’m also excited by this McDonald’s but chill 🤣🤣

As a Wisconsinites and avid cheese lover, I'm genuinely curious what everyone's snack cheese preference is. Personally I go hardcore for some tangy Swiss.

I try to be healthy but realistic with my little boys diet. He doesn't really have anything with added sugar or chocolate. He's had a horrible viral cough for ages which isn't clearing and I don't think he is really well enough hydrated which isn't helping. He drinks water but not much. Would you give him very dilu...

Any advice on handling a toddler not eating? My son is almost 2 and for the last week or 2 he is barely eating. Any time you offer him any food he says no and ew to it. I know this is a normal phase, but he is literally barely eating anything. The only thing he wants right now is milk. Im to the point I don't know w...

My lb is currently being assessed for pica and last year we noticed him eating bits of the Christmas tree so slightly anxious about putting up an Xmas tree. Any other mums having/had this problem? TIA x

No judgement here, would you let your 3 year old eat a McDonald’s happy meal? My son has been invited to a birthday party where they will go to McDonald’s after and it’s not something I feel comfortable with him eating with such high salt content. I don’t want to upset the mum, so what reason can I give that he won...

I hate to admit this because it’s that one thing I struggle with so bad, but I am not good with finding meal ideas and buying groceries🙃 it’s just me and my son at nights because my husband works so i find it hard to find a meal for basically a person and a half. I would love grocery suggestions, especially if…

Has anyone fed their baby pablum before giving them real food? My mother in law keeps trying to push it on my and it’s just my personal preference I don’t want to give him pablum. Anddd she keeps trying to push me to fed him when he’ll be 6 months on Saturday. Very annoyed right now 😕 I just wanna do it at my…

Looking for snack inspiration please (ideally not out of a packet) thank you ☺️

Need weaning ideas please! its still very new for me and baby and would love to see what you feed your little ones

Hi, I've started weaning my girl a few days ago. I give her food after her 1st bottle and 1st nap so between 11-12. I started her on baby rice for 3 days and we just moved to puree vegetables today. The first time I gave her baby rice I maybe gave her a teaspoon or 2 as I was quite anxious. The next day she kept a...

First time mum and feeling like a complete failure! My 13 month is refusing to eat any meals and will only eat bananas and packaged snacks… he’s recently had a cold and his jabs and hasn’t been himself but this started before then. He’s definitely going through a developmental leap and is beginning to say no to lots...

My LO started solids a little before turning 6 months old and was eating great. Doing purées mostly with a mixture of baby led weening foods here and there. He is almost 8 months old and the past week or so has not been too big into foods - even purées. Drinking bottles/milk (exclusively bf/pump) just fine though....

My daughter lost her tastebuds but I want take out/ordered in food what would be the best for our sickness?
