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 ...

Just wondering has anyone flew with easyjet recently and know if you can bring snacks on for your kids (or on in their hand luggage)? Whether it has to be crisps, bars etc or can you bring on sandwiches and crackers? 🤔 We’re flying really early in the morning next Saturday and wanted to be prepared for breakfast…

What is everyone feeding their babies? Have you started introducing foods (if so, what), are they eating meals or still breastmilk/formula only? I’ve read stuff about how their teeth coming in plays a factor in how ready they are, among other things. Thanks ladies!!

Anyone experience this? I'm Asian and so I started having him drink some red dates juice (boiled with ginger and apple, sometimes I add honey) I need to know how to strengthen his body includny hius nails!

Is anyone spoon feeding yet? My baby has been on cereal since 2 months and he takes it well. I’m gonna try to spoon train him just in case we get the ok for purées next month.

Does anybody else’s child constantly whine whilst in the car seat unless they’re given snack? It’s starting to make car journeys anywhere very stressful. I’m also conscious about the constant feeding of snacks. 🙈 Any advice welcome!

My girl has always been interested in our food and opened her mouth for it when we put it near her. Five month old i introduced baby porridge each morning and she loved it. She turned six months on Monday and we’ve since been in introducing blended plus whole vegetables for her to hold. She refuse to eat it, especia...

We’ve tried weaning with our LO but he just gets upset and starts crying. I’ve tried in the high chair and even sat him on the table with me holding him and letting him grab at the plate. I’m not fussed at all that he’s not eating it yet but just that he’s getting so upset. Any tips??

My 3 year old has been asking to me to eat more food after only 20mins of eating and let’s just say he eats big boy plates and some how isn’t full I need some advice to get him full without over feeding as he is still so little

Looking for an opinion! Not Mommy or baby related... Just don't have any friends to ask or vent to. So my boyfriend, myself and our newborn live together and my 9 year old is with her dad this week. We've been very strapped for cash lately and kind of have this schedule where we hardly eat during the week that my ol...

Im due to start weaning my boy next month and honestly im petrified but not sure if im thinking too much into it. Where do i even start, I copied a weaning chart from tiktok. How much will he have a day to start with, will he still have his normal amount of bottles? What foods did you start with, I heard broccoli wi...

My ebf 6.5 mo hates any food that’s not breast milk. We have been doing purées since he doesn’t have a tooth yet for blw and our pediatrician recommended just doing purées. We’ve tried mashed potatoes, green beans, sweet potatoes, oatmeal etc, some mixed w breast milk and some without. He’s just gags, makes a sour f...
