My LG is showing a lot of signs that she’s ready for food, sitting up my herself, able to put things in her mouth independently and has great head control. She also tried to grab my food and eat it. She’s been really fussy in the day and never full anymore too. I’m worried as it’s recommend to wait till 6 months. H...

Hey, my daughter really enjoys wheatabix for breakfast and I do find myself giving that to her most days, am I a bad mum in doing this? She enjoys it and I admit I probably do it for ease as I know she’ll eat it. What are other people’s thoughts on this? Xxx

Does anybody on here give their baby food pouches only? I am not keen on blw but worry that I should be giving foods rather than pouches.

My LG has been working on her pincer grip, which sounds like a cause for celebration... But now we have to hoover multiple times a day because she tries to pick up even the tiniest pieces of dirt, dust and hair and eat them. And at meal times she is ignoring the big pieces of food and spending an inordinate amount o...

I’m so tired of offering her new foods for her to swat away and scream at me, it’s so frustrating and stressing me out because I’m worried about her being nutrient deficient. What can a pediatrician do to help besides what I’m already doing? What actually works you guys? Can I give her vitamins in the mean time? Giv...

My baby has been on solids for about a month and it seems to be getting worse! She’s realised now that she can just clamp her mouth shut. I’ve tried giving her finger foods but the only thing she will eat this way is toast. Does it eventually just click for them and they become good eaters? So far I’ve been just try...

How much gerber baby food (purée) Does your baby eat? My son is 9 months old and eats 2-3 cans a day. Sometimes less. Including his formula every 3 hrs 4-6oz bottles. Just curious at this age?

So my lg has always struggled to eat well I think. Before when Ive tried to feed her she would refuse but recently I am able to feed her and she’ll take it just fine but it can take up to hours to finish one single meal, it consumes my whole day tbh. She has to have the TV on or we’d be playing in the play pen in or...

Hi all!! My toddler is 14 months old and refuses almost everything with texture. He would much rather have pureed food still. I feel like I am at a loss as we offer him everything we eat every meal (which is a wide variety). Any tips, suggestions would be appreciated!! I don’t know if this is a cause for concern?? 🙁

Hello! My little girl is 5 months and we’re looking into weaning her with either baby porridge or baby rice with purées. Does anyone have any dairy free recommendations? Thank you!

Did your pediatrician give any advice about what to start with? Mine wanted baby cereal or baby oatmeal. Then veggies then fruits. Said cereal is easy and has iron. We are on Bobbie formula that literally has all the iron she needs. I don’t want to start with it. Her dad is also a person who wants to follow the do...

How do you get your little one to stop throwing food on the floor? My daughter is 15 months and she knows not to throw the food on the floor, but she does it anyways. Especially now that she knows the cats will come over and eat the food. She will purposely throw it on top of them. I understand she’s still young and...

Looking for advice or support please. My LB eats without much fuss when his daddy feeds him meals. With me, he tries to take the spoon away, throws food around and he doesn't eat more than 3 bites (and sometimes wakes up hungry at night). I don't know why he's different with each of us. We both sing songs to him whi...

My 8 month old is refusing milk.not little but a lot. He is just pushing the bottle away. He used to drink well up until 8 months. I tried reducing the solids but he is still refusing the bottle and drinking way less than he should be drinking a day. He loves solids but as milk comes first I want him to have that a...

When did you introduce cutlery? What training spoons etc did you use?

I honestly just need a rant because I am honestly HATING and DREADING meal times with my one year old…. All he does is moan sitting in his chair…. Will constantly turn his head away from the spoon, any finger foods will throw…. I am sooooo sick of making meals for him to just CONSTANTLY REFUSE and just be constantly...
