Cutlery

How are we all getting on with cutlery with our LOā€™s? I tend to offer one most meals but she just isnā€™t getting to grips with it well, I feed her things like yoghurt still, if I preload the fork for dinner she normally takes it from me and eats it but other than that nothing šŸ˜‚ any tips?

Baby not interested in blw

Hi everyone! So my baby is going to be 7 months this week. He has no interest in blw but loves to be spoon fed. Everyone keeps telling me how important it is for babies to be able to feed themselves. I try everyday but my baby just ends up getting really upset. Need some reassurance!

Formula feeding + Solids schedule

Hi mamas! Just wondering what are your feeding schedules or routines to offer formula feedings and solid foods. Iā€™ve found myself struggling finding the appropriate window. As he seems to be full enough to not even wanting to touch foods or maybe too hungry so he only eats a few bites.

What are we feeding our picky 9 month olds?

I need meal ideas! My son is very picky & gags just by touching food sometimes. I offer him a lot but he eats maybe a bite if any. He does fine with whole banana, oatmeal, yogurt & purĆ©es, but I feel like I need to be doing more! Iā€™m a little discouraged.

Stressed :(

Iā€™ve been feeling a bit stressed lately by what I see on social media about what my almost one-year-old ā€œshouldā€ be doing. When it comes to food, he still relies on four 8oz feeds a day and isnā€™t the best eater. I offer him three meals, and while he tries most of it, I donā€™t feel ready to drop any feeds. But seeing...

Weaning

May sound like a stupid question but no one tells you about this weaning crack. What way would you work giving them dinner if their bedtime is 7.30? Would you do bottle, dinner, bed ? Or dinner earlier, bottle an hour later then bed? For example I gave my baby dinner then at 7.30 barely drank any of his bottl...

Weight gain help

What is the best way to get my baby to gain weight? She gets cereal in her bottles and eats cereal by itself. Her doctor said sheā€™s on the smaller side and told me to just feed her cereal but she already eats cereal. Her twin brother is only 2 lbs more than her.
