Have you all done puree food at first? I’ve always preferred giving my daughter stick foods so she could explore the texture. Don’t know whether i am a reason or not but she prefers finger food over puree is that normal for a 7month old to not really try to eat puree at all?

Hello everyone! Manu of us started or starting soon to wean our LO. I am vegetarian and I would like to wean my little girl following a vegetarian diet. Is any of you vegetarian and wean baby before? What protein chart did you follow?

I'm currently 30 weeks pregnant and thankfully, I'm able to keep food down but my hunger has been increasing the further along I get. But dang, my toddler keeps asking me for food when she has food in front of. We're eating the same thing!!

My husband keeps encouraging our child to tell me to "chop chop." He thinks it's funny because he thinks I'm slow. I think it's teaching her bad manners. Thoughts?

Hey so my baby girl is about to be 10 months this month & she will not eat baby food! She doesn’t eat meat or cheese & is breast fed! Any pointers? Doesn’t drink bottles or any type of juice. She prefers water & breast milk. She’d just rather eat real food & she only has 2 teeth so I don’t like giving her too much &...

Heya, I've been a bit nervous with blw and been giving my 8 month old mainly purees and smaller things until now. Please can you let me know if the below is cut OK. He managed most of it ok and chewed on the cucumber but want to check if I need to change anything. Thank you

I want to make a cheese sauce with butternut squash and would like to add nutritional yeast… can she have that? Thanks for your advice!

Hey guys, is it just my baby who’s not eating until now? I’ve tried purée but he just spits it out. Baby led weaning also not interested. My LO is exclusively breastfed and refused formula when I tried. Is it just me?! 😩

We started our weaning journey at 6 months and it is going well so far. We moved quickly from purees to mashes and my baby actually prefers textures. She has tried a wide range of veg, fruits, fish, meat, etc and we introduced the main allergens without any issues so far. We do a combination of baby feeding herself ...

I know harassing is a strong word but I feel like it’s practically that now. They’re obsessed with trying to get him to eat and ‘finish his plate’. I’ve explained to them 100 times that he doesn’t need to finish his plate. If my son had a serious issue with eating then that’s a separate issue but he’s a toddler, s...

My almost 7 month old is just not interested in food at all. I’ve tried Blw and purées, I’ve tried so many different foods , I’ve tried being consistent in one food and he’s just not having it. He’ll open his mouth for the first bite but after that he will seal his mouth shut. He had banana this morning and had som...

What’s better to serve to an 8 month old? Fusilli pasta or penne? Tia 💕

My girl is on a fruit strike at home right now. What are some creative ways that I can incorporate fruits into meals without them just being there. Like today she had mashed strawberries in her weetabix but other ideas would be helpful.

He was always a fussy eater but it's become insane. He won't even eat pizza and hates anything you'd assume a kid would like! I've already given up on healthy options. I baked chickpea and banana cookies for him which he hated. I just noticed he has his molars and most of his top teeth all breaking through at the mo...

My LG is 5 months old in a few days & has slept through the night right from the start. She has always been a ‘little and often’ eater and still only takes 5oz at a time but has started waking in the night for a bottle. Would you take this as a sign she is hungry and start giving her some rice? I am reluctant to spe...

We have a family meal at walnut tree farm today for a family members birthday. I imagine as it’s most of the family, it’s going to go on for a while. It will be first time going for a meal with a baby too! I have an 8 month old baby that is now on solids but doesn’t really eat a lot (most goes on the floor). I don...

I’ve had the hardest ride in this first year of my boy’s life…he got diagnosed late with severe oral ties after failed attempts at both purées and baby led weaning. I found out just a month ago that his tongue was so restricted that he literally could not manipulate or swallow food. 😭😭😭 He finally got the…

Any tips he’s not underweight or anything but he is on the smaller side any tips

My one month old has a really good latch and typically eats pretty well. Occasionally when I try to feed him, he seems really angry. He'll latch for like 5 seconds then let go and start crying and thrashing around. I would try a couple times, and if he couldn't settle down I'd try burping him or I would assume he ...

I’m at my wits end, I literally feel so defeated. My almost 2 year old boy is the world’s pickiest eater. Me and his father work opposite shifts and I’m thankful because we don’t have to put our son in daycare but I truly think this is what’s causing the pickiness. I work day shift and he works second shift, so I’m ...
