When to go from two meals to three meals a day? When did everyone also go from 4 bottles a day and drop to 3? My baby is turning 7 months and i feel 3 meals a day with her bottles around them is too much intake? Do i just stick to breakfast and dinner. Would love to know everyone elses eating and bottle schedules.

My LG usually has a pouch / blended meal for her evening meal. The last few days she’s becoming quite frustrated and batting the spoon away when I try to feed her, I think she’s ready to feed herself. At lunch time I do usually give her toast or something she can feed herself with and she seems to be a lot calmer th...

My boy just won’t eat …. He will eat a few bites of an apple that’s his breakfast ! Today he had a small cheese cracker and some crisps and a water melon ….thats it I am the point of giving up all I do is cook for it to be binned

What food is everyone giving their little ones? one thing at a time or blending together different ingredients, like a whole meal in pure form?

I'm probably being stupid but does this sound like a lot of salt? For tea tonight my daughter had homemade vegetable soup with cheese on toast with it Normally I don't get bothered about it too much until my partner said that a stock cube went into it, just a normal Tesco's own one. My daughter had about 10 spoonfu...

First time mum here & my LO is nearly 9 months…..food size they keep saying pincher grasp but how do I know when this has happened?

I know there’s been research to say baby led weaning is the way forward and when my LO was between 6-12 months I embraced it fully. Now he’s 3 he’s a terrible eater. He always wants to use his hands, plays with his food, rarely likes everything i offer from one day to the next so rarely finishes a meal and no joke...

What are your favorite puree utensils for just starting out? we literally only have one spoon so i'm looking for recommendations. Bonus points if it's on amazon and i can order quickly. TIA!

We're starting purées this weekend. What are you favorite utensils for starting out? we only have one spoon and one fork 😂

I wonder if I started my baby with puréed food too early. He is not fully sitting yet but he does sit in a bouce chair and when I feed him with baby cereal mixed with his formula he likes it a lot. He is not choking or anything… what are the thoughts on this?

We’ve just moved onto BLW after purées. My baby’s has loved finger food like melts sticks. Any solids we give him at the minute for finger food he’s biting then spitting out. Any ideas?

Hi Baby is now on 3 bottles. Morning night and late morning and dropping to morning and night next week with three meals. I keep seeing online that babies under 12 months don’t need snacks but if they’re not snacking how can I keep her going from 1pm to tea time? Do people give snacks? I tend to make these myself ...

When are you starting your babies on food like baby porridge?? My little girl is 4 months old and a few people are questioning me why I haven’t got them on porridge yet… Should I start her on it or continue with just her milk??

I’m a FTM and my 10 month LG is doing well with her meals but I’m a little stuck on what snacks to offer? Especially when we’re going out. Any ideas for snacks?

Hi everyone just a quick question my LO is 18 weeks old this week I’m just wondering what age did everyone start giving there LO the smooth pouches

My lo eats breakfast at home (a big portion of porridge), and then has snack, lunch (11:30) and tea (15:30) in the nursery, which is what we also do when she's at home, and then on those days she's at home we do dinner at 5:30 and bottle at 7. However, on nursery days she seems to come home ravenous, and wants to ...

hello all, just wanted to know what everyone is feeding their 7 month old 😁 He is my second born and he’s a foodie unlike my first one so I’m very excited to try new recipes . Can you please all share what everyone is giving their young ones and how much are they eating in a day.

Is it acceptable to give your 15 month old essentially ready meals for dinner every night? Like the Heinz ones etc.

My little girl loves having a snack after her morning nap. We do use kiddylicious snacks and she’s a very confident eater. I do offer apple matchsticks, pepper slices, cucumber batons that type of thing but looking for new ideas to jazz things up a little as she’s quite keen to try new things and always gives it a g...

Is anyone else’s 11mo not on solids yet? I’ve tried with my baby and he’s just not interested he’s still on thick puree foods, he’ll have finger foods like biscuits and stuff but is so uninterested in anything else I’m not sure what to do
