100 foods before 1!

At 8 months and 5 days my girl completed 100 foods before 1 yesterday 🥳 It actually wasn’t something I planned to do it just sort of happened!

Chewing

My 9m old isn’t chewing. I tried to give her small chunks of soft food but she still struggles with chewing. I’m not sure what to do or how to get her to practice.

2.5 old eat pasta with this sauce, realize afterwards that it had red wine in it

Would this be okay ? I realize after I used this sauce for the second time to finish it off that it has red wine, I’m not sure if this would be ok for him, I never cook with wine at home and didn’t realize this had wine in it 🙈

Salt now little one is 1

So I’ve been really cautious about giving too much salt to my little one who is almost 14 months. I cook from scratch mostly but giving him what we have is difficult because I cook with stock cubes. I’ve been doing his in a different pan or just cooking something different for him entirely, but it would be so much e...
