We’re on the dairy ladder atm and want to try butter with little one but he also can’t have salt bcos of a kidney problem. Any recommendations for which butter we should use please

We started purées at 4 months and when he hit 6 months I started BLW and puree (here and there). We are completely BLW now but he plays with everything and most of it ends up on the floor or his lap. I’m assuming this is normal since he’s so young and he is learning and soon enough he will consume more and the flo...

My baby has suddenly started crying whenever eating solids over the past couple of days. Even if it's a chunky purée. I can't work out if it's a pained cry or a frustration cry. Could it be hurting his gums/teeth?

My 8,5 month old baby is still only eating purees. This because I am so afraid of her choking and I don't know how to get past this. I told my healthvisitor but she was very insensitive and not helpfull. I have a fear of choking myself (I avoid eating certain foods and don't eat on planes or boats). I know baby's...

What cups/bottles are your babies drinking out from throughout the day? Also, my boy refuses water so much so we add a dash of juice.. We brush his teeth daily.

Hi! First time mom here…my one year old has suddenly started getting very picky about eating foods he previously LOVED. In particular, I’m seeing it happen with proteins. He tosses aside any protein and focuses only on fruits and carbs 😣 in the last week I’ve had to “hide” chicken in his rice or pasta just to get…

Have y’all been seeing these trends of mammas giving their babies straight butter, tallow, and whipped bone marrow? Obviously babies need lots of fat and fat intake should not be limited because it’s so good for brain development, but does that also apply to saturated fat? We’ve been giving him lots of avocado, egg ...

My spouse, 41, has gastrointestinal issues, allergic to everything, high blood pressure, and high blood sugar. He's always dealt with the GI issues, but because of work his blood has risen.
