Meal Ideas for 10 month old

So I’m trying new things with my LO and I’m completely clueless when it comes to food because I personally don’t really have a good relationship with it, I eat once a day and I’m happy with whatever because I’m not a massive foodie. So if anyone could drop some meal ideas that would be a great help ❤️

Baby not taking to weaning

I’m a week into weaning and whenever I do it, baby just pushes the spoon out with her tongue, just is not interested. Milk intake has increased, she is not my first so I’m aware of signs and believe she is totally ready. But I don’t understand why she’s not liking it. She won’t open her mouth without me basically...

Not eating

I’m one week into weaning - I’ve done a mix of puree and baby led but she just isn’t interested. She’s exclusively breast fed and just seems to push the puree back out her mouth . Shes brought some of the food to her mouth but gags awfully if she gets a chunk in her mouth (I’ve only done really soft veggies so far)....

Purees versus hand held food

Hi! I have a 6 MO and she does NOT want purees. The only puree she eats is pear or banana. But any time I give her hand held foods she is super curious and eats. Do I keep trying with purees? I don’t feed her, I give her the spoon with the purees and she’s not interested unless it’s fruit. She explores and moves it ...

Does anyone else give their 16 month old TV? Mine never sits down or lets me do his nappy without it. Sometimes he won’t eat so I let him watch Peppa Pig and then he eats. I feel like a crap mum. Anyone else in the same boat?

I’ve tried alternatives like toys etc and they rarely work - he usually throws them.

Self feeding

I’ve tried to do BLW since starting weaning at 6 months but my baby is just not interested in self feeding. He will accept finger foods or preloaded spoons when offered but doesn’t pick up anything on his tray/ plate. He does get curious when I place things in front of him, digging his little fingers, mushing aroun...

Weaning

Does anyone else’s baby hold solid foods in their mouth? I’m trying to move my baby away from purées and have always offered puree and finger food, but every single time he has a finger food that doesn’t dissolve in his mouth he just stores it in his cheeks like a chipmunk. It was cute at first but he refuses to che...

So I used to not eat like any fruits or vegetables but after I had to do a TED diet while nursing my son I started liking them more.
