We started weaning yesterday, I just did some puréed broccoli which she gagged at first but then seemed to really enjoy it.

Does anyone have any baby friendly chickpea recipes? My daughter is 9months old and toothless. I’m trying to get her into finger foods instead of all purées.

Has anyone started solids and can offer advice on how you did it, including allergen introduction. Any good links, recipes, tips, all welcome. Thank you!

Hi all, my baby hates to be spoon fed and has done really well with BLW since 6 months (currently 10.5 months). He won’t eat any porridge or weetabix for breakfast and so he tends to have something on toast, banana pancakes or fruit and yoghurt for breakfast. He used to enjoy porridge bars that I would make but now ...

Not strictly boy related… but does anyone else’s 3yo just refuse to eat bloody anytttthing. It’s so frustrating. Even more so when he will actually try something one day and I think *score, I’ll get more for him!* and then suddenly he refuses to ever eat it again. Ugggh. I just feel like I’m failing him when he s...

Sorry for the long post! My LO is 5 and a half months and soo ready for weaning already. I'm planning to start in 2weeks or so. The reason I haven't started already/ putting it off is because I'm feeling super confused and overwhelmed by it all. I've been trying to read as much as poss, but honestly it's just leavin...

My son properly starts with the childminder tomorrow, he will be there for 9 hours and I have to provide all food. He is normally BF so will have some milk provided too. At the moment he just seems to be constantly eating. He turns 1 on the 26th. I have prepared some overnight oats (banana, oats, chia seeds, yoghu...

Hi, my baby girl is now 7months and I’ve probably given her about 8 different veg purees so far ( as well as in stick form on the side each time for BLW also). She had a little issue with her health and I was advised to pause weaning, and then got so busy with other serious matters in my life. I gave her some swede ...

Has anyone else's baby increased eating within the last week or so?

What snacks are you giving baby when out and about? BLW

Hi, when should my boy be using a spoon by himself? He doesn't even seem close to being able to use it, he'll hold it by the handle and by the other end and doesn't show signs of knowing how to use it. Any advice for teaching them how to spoon feed themselves please?

Has anyone else found that their babies aren't feeding as much with the hot weather? Is this normal?

Can anyone share what they feed their little ones for lunch and dinner? I seem to be making the same things and I’m getting bored of them (baby loves it but I feel like she needs more of a variety too). I only do purées for now so if anyone has any ideas/recipes please can you share? She only really has a mix of v...

Yesterday loved blueberries today kicked off in disgust, all she wants is snacks won’t really eat any real meals and would happily eat cheese and crackers all day everyday. Anyone else going through this or just me 🙈 she’s 17 months

I know it’s perfectly normal & ‘ok’ for baby to gag when eating solids but does anyone else really struggle watching it? My whole body goes into panic mode. I try to not let me little one pick up on it of course as I don’t want them to panic but god, I’m finding it really difficult. I also feel an immense feeling ...
