frozen yogurt, gelato 😋🤤🤤

My husband was eating a burger. He typically makes them on the rarer side so I told him not to feed it to the baby because it wasn’t cooked thoroughly. She also has food allergies and so we introduce foods individually. So what does he do instead gives her the protein shake he was drinking. Now there was about a sip...

I’m not sure but it seems my exclusively breastfed baby does seem interested in solids/sometimes grabs the spoon to feed/learning how to put the spoon in his mouth. But should he be eating more than just purées at 8 months( he turned 8 month a few days ago. Plus because he is nursing so much should we do baby led we...

When did you introduce protein ( chicken, egg and meat) to your little one's weaning journey? I'm currently on day 5 but haven't tried him with any protein. He's enjoying vegetables and fruit purees so far🥹

My son is 5 and he is only weighing half a stone more than his just turned 2 year old sister, he has autism and his diet is very restricted. While we do make and encourage him to eat home cooked, nutritious meals he refuses most of the time. He only eats a handful of foods and misses entire food groups, he is lookin...

What are the Best things to start weaning with at 4 months and best times to feed?

Hello! We are going to be starting foods. I don’t know why but I am feeling overwhelmed about it. I am wanting to start with purées and with vegetables. My question is how often should I feed my baby the purées and when can I switch to other foods? Any tips and advice is greatly appreciated

i’m struggling with blw because my LO enjoys it so much but it stresses me out loads, what are some “minimal stress” foods for my baby😂 he’s 7 months!!

My baby has been eating tremendously well since she began eating at 5-6 months. She would eat anything we feed her. But since three days ago she has been very picky, selective.. sometimes would eat something really well, then the next day we would offer the same thing for lunch and refuse it. It’s just super odd. I ...

My LO at 10 months now and isn’t interested in eating actual food anymore he’ll have one spoon and that’s it’s, I’ve done BLW along side purées since 5 months. Anyone else going thru the same thing or have any advice?

A bit divided whether I should offer a snack. And if yes then when do you normally do it? The reason being is my girl is sooo hungry by 5.30pm that making it to 5.30pm so the whole family can eat together is a bit of a struggle for this last half an hour

My son is obsessed with real fruit and veg and cutting it up. It’s costing me a fortune as we’re getting new fruit and veg every two days. He now insists on putting it in the bath with him and anytime I try to stop him he has full on meltdown. Like not a normal meltdown, nothing brings it out of him. Any tips on how...

Hey guys just looking for some confirmation, I think I’m eating more than I usually do but my little one also seems to be feeding a lot more than usual , she usually goes at the least 2 hrs between feeds, but today she’s fed 4 times in 2.5 hrs and idk why could it be the age she’s at (13weeks) or is it just a change...

Mine was born 8/12. Until three days ago I had only given him frozen mango for his teeth or frozen apple juice per his pediatrician as he is constipated every so often. I was not worried or in a major rush as his father and I work opposite schedules and I wanted to prepare his first foods for him also his last dr ap...

As in I don't purposely use less salt or seasonings. Obvs don't give honey or cow's milk uncooked

My little munchkin had salmon and broccoli tonight & is absolutely loving it. We do a mix of BLW and purées, but she prefers our food, so BLW it is 😅

Trying my 16 month old with rice (..again) to hopefully get her to like it. Advice on what to flavour with as i don’t just want to serve it plain

Hey mamas! I have an 8 month old who we originally started on purées and i’m now trying to transition to BLW. She is happily eating the food if i’m putting it to her mouth but will gag if the food touched her hands and will not move food from her plate to her mouth. Any ideas of how to fix this?

Can anyone suggest meal ideas for 16 months please? Really struggling to get them to eat any type of meat and point blank refuses any type of pasta. Feel like we’re stuck in a rut of the same few meals on repeat

My son is 17 months and when it comes to getting him to eat food is impossible. I have done everything I’ve made his food look fun, no matter what I do it’s just wasted. He drinks his fluids and he’s yogurt all day. Dinner is about the only time I can actually get him to eat because he is hungry. Is this a stage?
