My LG hated feeding, BLW or Spoon feeding until I gave her some of my yoghurt off a metal tea spoon I was using and now she’ll happily eat anything off a teaspoon… is this ok for little ones?

How much food are people giving their babies? My little one is 10 and a half months old and will demolish this and sometimes have a little yoghurt to for lunch 😳 (Tuna maybe pasta with cucumber, blueberries and homemade banana and chocolate chip bread ) He still has three bottles and two good size meals, he…

What can I give my 7month old for lunch? She has breakfast and dinner but is unsettled through the night so I’m thinking she may still be hungry. I don’t feed her a bottle through the night haven’t done since 4months She is waking screaming from 2-4am 😭😭

Can anyone give me any suggestions on what to feed my toddler who has vomiting and diarrhoea possible food poisoning, other than toast and crackers?

My toddler was diagnosed at 1 yrs old and the only thing he eats is yogurt and certain cookies and gummies. He won’t eat any type of meat rice not even nuggets or fries he kind of on and off between pancakes and French toast. I don’t know what to do. Doctors tell me it’s okay but it’s worrying me.

Has anyone given scrambled egg yet? If so how did it go? I've tried her with egg in pancakes and she was fine but I'd quite like to try normal egg 🤔

Does anyone have any advice? What do I do when he comes and hangs onto my clothes while I'm cooking etc? I just need 15 minutes to atleast prepare food but he cries and hangs onto me. Any and all advice is appreciated!

My baby girl is purely breastfed and I would like to start her on solids and water. Has anyone tried giving fruit juice instead of purée? Also, over the past few days she has been having a lot more milk than usual and then throws up (looks a bit forced) a lot of excess milk right back out. Could it be due to teeth...

My LO is 9 months old & I feel we are struggling with food. I see so much online about babies eating & how much they are having & Just can’t help but feel I’m not doing a great job. We are only really on 2 meals a day & some Snacks, but doesn’t always eat the food. Has some little bits & then just plays around with...

My LO is 7.5 months and still has no teeth. What are you guys feeding them? I see all these more solid options but aren't doing them because he can't chew them. Is just purees and the fillable Teether okay enough? I just want to make sure we are giving them enough.

What snacks are we feeding our little ones? I try to hold off on dinner until 6:30 when my husband gets home so we can all enjoy our meals together. I feel a snack would really help with the extra hour wait!

My little one is up to three meals a day and a snack but still takes some milk too. Wondering how much to provide at meals or know when to stop… tonight she took forever to fall asleep and seemed like maybe she was just hungry. I feel bad if I didn’t give enough!

All week my son has been crying and pulling at my pants shouting eat while I make all 3 meals. The second he gets in his highchair he eats maybe 1 or two bites and nothing else. I make his favorite foods, I try new things, it doesn’t matter he doesn’t eat anything but baby snacks and his pouches. I know toddlers are...

My 18 month old has discovered dipping food in sauce and condiments. She loves french fries but if I give her ketchup or the like she wants to dip it and suck off the sauce and wont eat the fry. Help! Momma with soggy fries!

Do you have to blend oats when making oatmeal or can you leave them as is (rolled oats)?

What do you feed your child for breakfast? My daughter will not try oatmeal or cereal😩

What’s the truth about solids? I get myself all worked up about how much food baby should be ‘playing with’ a day! Some people say it’s just for fun and it doesn’t really matter. Then I see others who’ve dropped milk feeds because baby has 3 ‘meals’ a day! It’s stressing me out so much. I don’t know what I’m doi...

My son is 16months and the pediatrician told us he isn’t where she wants him to be with weight(I think it’s bs he’s just a small kid/his bmi is like 16) but it really made me wonder maybe I should feed him more than I do? Some days he will eat a ton or want more which I always give him but some days he’s just meh ab...

I’ve been trying to get my son on solid foods for the past month. But he just doesn’t want it or spits it out. He loves his purées and has no issues with that. He also still drinks formula. Any advice for a new mom?

My baby is only 4 months old, he turned 4 a couple days ago. I took him to his doctor’s appointment and she said that he is 14lb and once he is 15lb in a couple weeks from now, I could start feeding him soft foods. I thought I had to wait til 6 months🤔
