My baby is just turned five months so within the next month I guess we need to start thinking about weaning and also what to buy for it! Has anyone got any recommendations of products or any tips at all for weaning in general? I’m not even sure where to start haha

anyone else using the solid starts app and trying to get baby to 100 foods by age 1? We just got back from a cruise and now she’s up to 93! So close lol

Is Finger foods at six months okay if I’ve given my daughter purée since 4 months as she was ready

Hi girls Did you guys started to give some pures ?my lo is 5 months now. I want to give something like yoghurt or purés :)

Hey My little girl has just overcome a chest infection, after two colds and popping a new tooth 😅. Solids have gone out the window. I’m offering, she’s refusing, I’ve tried finger, spoon feeding etc. Has anyone else experienced this? I have her 9-12 month review tomorrow and I’m panicking because we were at one…

So this is my 3rd baby and I don't know why but I've found this weaning journey , the hardest . Our LG is 10months old .... she won't really entertain any sort of puree I try to give , she immediately turns her head away.... I don't want to stress her so I try 2 or 3 times and if she still turns away I just leave ...

I have a near two year old in a matter of weeks😭! Anything to do with food is a headache when it comes to my girl! Breakfast I offer cereal or toast or crumpets or a yogurt and fruit no to everything (unless it’s mine) around 8amish Lunch I offer sandwich ham, cheese, jam, tuna sweetcorn, cheese and onion filler…

My little one is almost 1, she’s EBF and has been terrible with both sleep and food for as long as I can remember. I stopped giving her meals 3 times a day since about 9 months. And just offered her bits of what I was having and food while we were out here and there. I was advised to do this to alleviate the stress...

My little boy is 6 months and I want to try him with baby porridge. He has a milk allergy and is currently on Aptamil Pepti 1. We’ve been told we have to go to a group to get ideas for weaning etc. That isn’t till 20th Dec and he will be over 7 months then. Do people have any ideas? Our little girl has no allerg...

My bestie is due next month and I wanted to prep some easy freezer meals for her and her husband. I remember my early postpartum days it was so hard to cook (time, energy, lack of free hands) - looking back I wish I had a freezer meal prep party instead of a huge baby shower. Looking for any meal ideas to help my be...

He said I'm worried about baby because I've eaten probably 10 reeses trees today. Lol. I said people do crack. We are okay 🤣. Tell him he is being dramatic when this man eats pizza at least once a week.

Hi, does anyone know how many or how often baby should have the melty sticks? I find them so good to keep baby entertained or quiet when out having dinner but not sure if there is a recommended max amount. He's only really had 3 at a time before. Thank you

Hello! What type of foods are you giving your kiddos that are 6 months old?

Pediatrician said that we can try for solids… first for three days do one vegetables during dinner. I don’t mind to try, but are July 8th babies giving it a go?

My LO is 9 months old and he still hasn’t learned how to chew food. He’s still on puree baby food. I scared he will never learn. He has tried eggs three times and all the times he has thrown it back up. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong 😩 feeling very sad and defeated.

I feel like I’m out of healthy ideas baby wants what I eat now but I am not going to be giving grains or processed foods for a while. Mostly purées since baby doesn’t chew the best yet but the interest in those has gotten low

My son (22 months) has always been so active and recently he’s been refusing to sit in a high chair to eat on top of going through tantrums out of nowhere. Whenever he comes home from daycare he starts throwing fit as soon as we’re inside our home. And then after he’s calm he does not want to go into his high chair....

My LO IS 7 months next week and I’m so so stressed over feeding her finger foods extra, to the point I’m actually shaking when it comes to trying, I’ve been giving her a rusk and tried her with some crisps but I’m finding it so hard to just let her do it herself, I’m a single mom and I have a lot of help from my mom...

My little girl is 9 months and a half old and she likes only purées and veggie straws the ones you buy on supermarket. I am trying so hard for her to like finger foods but is not working. Heard a lot of good things for solid starts app how it helps with weaning. Has anyone used it and if so have you payed for longer...

My bf doesn't cook. He can cook but just chooses not to. Not a huge deal, I don't mind cooking, especially since he works and is in school. What gets me though is sometimes I'm stumped on what to cook. He is so god damn picky, pickier than my daughter. I'll try to make a list of foods he wants but the next week or t...
