Weaning

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...

Constantly asking for more milk

My son will be 2 in January and has milk (dairy free) x2 a day since he was 13m old. These past 2 weeks he seems to be constantly asking for more milk and I'm not sure why. He has 3 meals + 2 snacks + 2 lots of milk (7-9oz each). I'll usually give him something to eat when he asks for it but then he'll remember a sh...

What do you feed your baby for lunch?

I’m weaning my 8 month old and I’m looking for ideas to give him for lunch so far we’ve had jam and toast or cheese on toast. I need inspiration. We give him a hot meal at dinner usually what we’re having or some kind of puree.

Eggs

I have not introduced eggs to my baby yet. My doctor mentioned giving just the white of the egg first and then introducing the yellow. Did you guys do this? What’s the best way to introduce eggs?
