When your baby started purées, how much did you give them a day? I have let my baby taste everyday but how much is he allowed to have when just starting?

Hi yall, I’m not sure if I’m feeding enough solids to my 8 month old. I still do pureed food. I give big meal once a day and he drinks 7-8 oz every 2 hours that’s 5 feeds of milk. He only drinks juices. Should I start more food solids. I tried transitioning to 2 solids instead of one and he’s little stomach couldn’t...

What are your babies favorite dishes in the morning? So far my son hates porridge but like avocado banana mash with yoghurt

Can you guys please give me your day to day schedule on when you feed your LO and what you feed them? I have twins, I’m behind on solids. I’m stressing. We’ve done blended fruits and oatmeal but honestly the prep on top of the holidays is overwhelming. HELP!😩

My little girl is 3 months old and every time anybody has something to eat, she is so interested in food. I usually feed her first before I eat, so it can't be because she's hungry. Does anyone else have this with their baby? Or is mine too curious?

So they’ve had, breakfast, lunch and dinner plus snacks and some milk at bedtime. Then once in bed after bath/toothbrushing they ask for snacks. What’s the best thing to do?

My girl has only eaten a bowl of shreddies and a yogurt today. This has become the norm. She only has a little milk at bed time. She’s never been a great eater but it’s getting worse. She won’t even try eating. Please tell me I’m not alone :(

I have 3yo and 11 month old and after I had her I was hit with some health issues and I really have just been in survival mode. I now find myself in a situation where my 3yo cannot eat without the television on. It was okay whilst it was helping her eat her meal but now the opposite is happening. She can't take her ...

My little boy had a cold/cough almost two weeks ago, since then he has barely eaten anything apart from Weetabix for breakfast and his milk twice a day (oh and advent chocolate) apart from this he refuses to eat anything and he’s usually a great eater. Any tips? 😩

I've got fruit, yoghurt and biscuits. But he needs some real food too.

Now, I love a brussel sprout.. but the Mr does not like vegetables so the idea of a sprout to him is 🤢 To his credit, since starting baby on solids, he has tried carrots, broccoli, sweetcorn and corn on the cob, mangetout and swede! Funnily enough it's been the green veg he's not been completely negative about so…

So weaning was a breeze, he would eat every fruit and veg in front of him. The last year has been a struggle, but especially the last 6 months. I'm so worried he doesn't eat any fruit or veg (except a fruit pouch.) He won't try anything new. Every single day I offer him different things and he refuses. He doesn't ...

What’s on the menu for our June babies? I want to start giving her more than purees but not sure where to start

Anyone else have a good throwing baby? How are you correcting it? He thinks it’s the funniest thing ever

My baby has been having puree’s for 3 weeks and is doing really well. I was too nervous to do BLW but when should i be giving her more solid food?

So nervous to start solids but little one is so ready! He stares when we eat and wants to grab our food/drinks out of our hands lol any tips of courage??

Anyone else’s LO refusing to sit in their high chair atm? Up until the beginning of this week, my little girl has always eaten her meals in her high chair absolutely fine. Now she’s refusing and will have a full blown meltdown until she’s taken out of it. She’ll only eat if she’s sat on our laps at the table. I don...

Anyone else’s 13m suddenly very fussy eater and refusing meal times? He doesn’t even drink a lot of milk 😭 All he likes to eat is pasta and blueberries (and sometimes croissants) 😂 He used to be a fairly good eater before! I’ve heard some of it can be genetic? 🤣 my mum says I used to be such a tricky eater too…

My 9 month old had reflux so we started weaning with puree/mash food. He does take some finger food like toast or breadsticks but only hard/rougher food. When it come to meals he throws it all on the floor or cries. I have tried putting some larger lumps in his hand or closer to his mouth to see if he will take it...

So now babies are 1, do they need water available all day? Like a cup always near? Because my baby is never going to drink if we just offer at meal times!
