He doesn’t have any teeth

We finally have teeth! What solids did you start with? So far we have only tried apples but want to give our little man more, especially with Thanksgiving coming up.

So no judgement pls as I used to cook my veg and salmon pre baby seperately but thought would bake together to get the fish juices in the veggies.

Can I serve my baby tuna pasta mayo? Just asking as it’ll contain mayo. She doesn’t have any current allergies and eats eggs regularly.

What’s some nice puree combos? My baby just started weaning 2 weeks ago but I feel like I’m stuck on anything with potato. He’s tried a variety of veg and fruit but I’m worried to give him things like cabbage and beans. Any good combos? He hates strawberries, blueberries, apple, peas! He loves avocado, carrot, swee...

What do you do if you give your baby a pouch/jar of food and they don’t finish it once it’s already been warmed in water? Can you re warm it in water again or do you have to just throw it away? Baby is only eating a couple of mouthfuls at the moment! (Baby won’t eat anything cold so giving the left overs this way is...

I express breast feed/combi feed my 11 week old son and for the first 2 months of his life he was super hungry and always guzzled down his food but the last few weeks he has not seemed as interested in his food and is not eating as much. He had been eating (on average) 4oz every 3 hours but now it varies and sometim...

I know all Nurseries are different, but does anyone have any pictures of the meals their baby eats there? I keep asking if I can see some photos (because I'd like to know how much she is actually eating) and they won't send any. I'm just completely clueless!

Anybody else getting annoyed at how distracted their baby is getting during feeding he’s been easily distracted for awhile but it seems like the last couple weeks it’s so much worse any body got any tips? I have two cats and it definitely complicates things now I’ll get him focused and then a cat walks by and all fo...

Hey mama, Does your little one throw food on the ground ? Mine looks straight into my eyes and starts throwing her food down (she sits in the high chair) as soon as she is done or does not want to eat :(. She is just 17 mo and it’s sooooo annoying ! If you are also facing this, how and what do you do to change this ...

Hi mummas, I hope today is kind to you all! I have a 23 months old Toddler who doesn’t even eat anything except milk.

My daughter is about to be 4 months old. Several people have recommended that I introduce cereal already, but I was thinking of waiting until she's at least 5 months. I also would like to find a cereal that is organic, has more natural ingredients and is infused with iron. Any recommendations for a good one?

My little one is constantly sucking on his hands even when his not hungry! He is 13 weeks old anyone else’s the same? 😅

My May baby still tries to eat so many not food items such as dirt, play dough and crayons. I thought he would grow out of putting these things in his mouth. He gets extremely distressed when I try and stop him. It’s not like he plays and then tries some. If I get the play dough out he will grab it and immediately p...

My LO is 20 months old and has become so fussy. He will happily eat breakfast but then refuses lunch and dinner and prefers to snack throughout the day. It’s getting to the point where he would happily not eat if it’s something he doesn’t want. He used to eat anything and everything and then became fussy at around 1...

Hi guys, so we’ve been on a weaning journey for a couple of weeks now. Just purées atm as he’s 6 months on the 19th but he was giving all the signs (NO HATE PLEASE). Nothing major, just every now and again and he’d taste it but then spit it all back out which I expected but the last week (as we’ve had the thumps up ...
