Is anyone else’s lo fussy with eating? Weaning was great, he’d eat anything put in front of him but over the past few months, my lo won’t eat lunch,dinner or maybe take a mouthful then refuse anything else unless it’s a snack?

I’m feeling pretty useless at BLW my 7 month old. I was wondering if anyone has any meal plan guides I can follow to make sure I’m giving her a varied diet please? X

Baby is 8 months and on two meals when is everyone introducing a third meal?

I breastfeed at home and he gets bottles at daycare. Durring the weekends he is only interested in eating for maybe 2 minutes each side when he cries that he is hungry. But after that he pops off and tries moving away and if I dont force him back on and put my bra back up he starts screaming as if he wasnt done but ...

So I’ve just made a gammon for the first time since my baby has been doing BLW and I stupidly put honey and mustard on it. Is she able to have some or shall I cook her something else?

My baby is eating yogurt with cinnamon, homemade banana bread, and some raspberries.

So my little man had his 2 year appointment yesterday. He’s 3ft tall and 26lbs9oz. He’s super tall and skinny. My 4 month old is 2ft2inches and 15lbs6oz (so both tall babies)Doctor says he’s considered under weight m, she suggested pediasure after meals twice a day. He loves all fruits and veggies and chicken nugget...

Does your family already make remarks or comments about your preferred weaning method? I mentioned to my mom that we would start with non-sweet stuff so like cauliflower and broccoli but she was like no no they make babies gassy 😂 I think in many countries first weaning foods are apples and carrots because…

For those that have, how soon did you move from 1 meal to 2? Just curious. My little boy is 2 weeks in and loving everything I give him. He’s been just having veg purée/finger foods so far. Thinking I might add in breakfast soon.

We’ve always eaten together as a family around 7pm. (Bedtime is 8pm.) My husband started a new job recently and isn’t home until 7/7:30 so I need to probably feed my toddler and his baby sister, then do bedtime routine when my husband gets home, then us eat. I pick him up from nursery around 5:30 and I’m thinking ...

How's people getting on with weaning? I thought my son was gonna be loving it, but he's not THAT fussed. He seems to wanna hold stuff more than be spoon fed. For example, has opened his mouth a few times for puree on a spoon but wants to hold the spoon. Tried holding banana (interest in grabbing it) but slips out hi...

Anyone else finding their LO will put EVERYTHING in their mouth but never food? My boy has just turned 8 months and isn’t interested in anything other than purées

How much is your baby eating and drinking? My little girl was 7 months on 14th April. She will have 3 meals a day, breakfast and lunch are purées and then dinner she will have soft veggies and meat etc to feed herself. She is a very good eater. She will usually have a bottle of 5-6oz milk in between these and th...

Ok so when I am in a time crunch, I sometimes give my son these tinned spaghetti hoops/tinned cheesy macaroni. What I tend to do, is rinse the sauce off and make a veggie sauce with fresh broccoli, or butternut etc. He does love it! My MIL was absolutely appalled and said I am feeding him like a peasant/poor per...

Is anyone else struggling with weaning? My LO turned 6 months last Thursday and we’ve tried different veggie purées and had them as finger foods for him to try but he’s not bothered about either. I’m a first time mom and have no clue what I’m doing. He doesn’t let me put the spoon anywhere near his mouth and he puts...

Hii! We are starting purées and honestly it just seems like my baby hates them. Regardless of flavor she usually gags and spits it out and then fusses and wants out of the high chair. Anyone else experience this? What helped? My little is 6 months old and able to sit on her own so I know she’s ready.

Anyone struggling with weaning? We started BLW but then found that a lot of food was getting stuck on the roof of our son’s mouth and probably paused a bit early. Now I’m finding it really hard to get started again! My partner is a little reserved about it, he’s worried about choking and doesn’t understand how our ...

Any other toddlers super picky!?

My 11 month old is having a hard time with food. I’m thinking it’s a texture thing. She wants food but the minute it enters her mouth she sticks out her tongue and takes it out. I do baked sweet potato strips with cinnamon but if they’re not soft enough it’s a no go. Banana is easy, pancakes, little puffs or puff st...

My little boy is 18 months now. I am struggling to say the least. I can't find anything that he wants to eat. I've tried literally everything I can think of. I've been on every site available. He's happy he's friendly. He's loving but oh my God I cannot get him to eat. What am I doing wrong here?
