My son is about to start solid soon, and I’m not sure if I should get a baby food maker or just use a regular blender? If you use a baby food maker, which brand do you use? Also how long have you been using it?

So I used to not eat like any fruits or vegetables but after I had to do a TED diet while nursing my son I started liking them more. I’m curious for people who eat fruits and veggies all the time do you feel organic is necessary especially during pregnancy? I have tried to research stuff and I know about the dirty d...

What foods/snacks are you LO currently loving? Looking for some new ideas!

My baby is 5 months 1 week. His next appointment is march 3d and he is 6 months 2/12. I was thinking to wait for any solids until dr says but he will be almost 7 mos by then?? Whatcha think. He’s 90+ percentile in everything, rolling, holds head well, no interest in food and I’m not rushing for currently.

My son seems to only like bread and crackers!! He has stopped eating healthy meals I make for him. Won't even try them. What do I do about this? Do I give in and give him what he wants so he at least eats something ? Or stand firm so he understands he won't get a substitute unless he at least tries it ? He doesn't t...

Big spoon or little spoon?

Does your little one have chocolate?

My baby boy is almost 13 months and still relies heavily on his formula. He barely eats any food and it’s impossible to get him to eat more than a few mouthfuls as he only wants his milk really. Does anyone else have this issue where there baby is so reliant on formula still and refuses to eat actual food most the t...

A random question - I have these vitamin gummies I give my 3 year old. I only give her 1 a day - even though it says you can give 1/2 per day. Would you give 2 a day? I just worry with her being so small that giving 2 is for older children. But with all these winter bugs going around I’m wondering do I give 2 to h...

My little girl doesn’t really eat much yet, she’ll be 8 months in a few weeks and will hardly let me near her with a spoon. I did try some baby led weaning but not had much success either. She really enjoys melty sticks and puffs and will eat straight from the pouch which I’ve done a few times but don’t want this t...

My dog(lab) has always been food motivated. Always begging and drooling while we eat anything. But with my daughter he will steal the food from her hand. She usually throw the food to him, if she doesn't, he will snatch it form her hands and eat it. The other day she started crying. I don't know how to stop this be...

Hello friends!!! Which brands are you guys opting for 6+month old baby food? I was reading online about heavy metal issues, so was confused which brands are safe to use.

My 13 month old won’t eat anything soft she can squish with her mouth… she won’t eat chicken, ground beef/chicken or fish.. she won’t even eat rice and I’m feeling defeated and having such a hard time feeding her…. Any advice?

I’m really stressing out that my 12 month old has gone off his food over the last 24 hours but he is teething. He is still having milk so should it be ok for now and try again tomorrow?

My LO is 8months today..she’s been weaning since 6months and after trying BLW and making my own blends it’s been established she only likes the jars and pouches. Before weaning she was on 33oz of milk a day roughly..she was 94% before weaning and she’s now since last month she’s shot to 98% so it must be the weaning...

I see a couple of videos that at 1 they should be using metal cutlery… My LO won’t even feed herself using plastic let alone trying metal. Does anyone have any tips of how to get her to start holding her cutlery without launching it or using it as a drum stick instead of using it to eat 🫣

Wondering if anyone can help - my 1.5 (19 month old) is so hard to feed. He hardly eats at all. Maybe 2 hash browns and a yoghurt for breakfast or porridge, then won’t eat lunch, snacks on crisps that’s it, has a banana sometimes and then eats 3 scoops of whatever I’ve cooked for dinner and then everything he puts i...

She has breakfast (toast, wheatabix, porridge) absolutely fine. It comes to lunchtime and I make her food and she doesn’t try it and throws it away. I then get worried she’s hungry so offer her milk before her nap. She is the same with dinner. She won’t try anything!! I’ve tried so many foods but doesn’t seem to wan...

Does your LO eat the same 3 or 4 foods. Mine does and I just feel like he’s not getting the real nutrition he needs. Trying him out with new foods is always difficult because he doesn’t even want to try once he doesn’t know what it is. What can I do? 😭
