This might sound like a silly question but can you give baby any bread for toast? He’ll be 7 months on Tuesday and want to try giving him toast. Also can you put butter on it or leave it plain? TIA x

Today we have started BLW and I am terrified 🫣 I’ve started with avocado which LO has gnawed on but is this a big enough piece? Should it be bigger??? I’m so scared of him breaking a piece off and choking, I’m using the solid starts app but I just don’t trust myself that it’s correct 😭 what does everyone thing? any…

We just started weaning today and I’m following the suggested schedule in “How to Wean Your Baby”. My parents are visiting and my dad keeps saying “just give her porridge! Just give her banana!” We gave her broccoli for her first taste today and she wasn’t sure, but my husband and dad both told me “oh she hates it. ...

If you have fed your baby weetabix, how much do they typically eat? 1 biscuit? Half a biscuit? More? I tried to feed 1, mixed with 1 finely chopped dried apricot and 3 mashed raspberries but she barely seemed to have much. I know it goes all mushy but it's hard to tell!

My daughter will be 9 months in a week. She hasn't been gaining any weight for about a month. She was always on about 35th to 40th centile on weight and 90th on height. Long and slim baby. She continues to grow taller but her weight drops to under 30th centile. Should I be concerned? She's doing okay with solid, no...

Hey girls! I have a 9mo son who is loving BLW. However I’m really struggling with non-cook / cold BlW ideas for when we aren’t at home. For example we went out today and we weren’t home for lunch time so bought fruit whilst out to feed him but I’d love to take cold meals out that he can eat. I’ve made loads of d...

My little girl is 9 months and barely eats. I know good is for fun till they're 1 but what happens if when she turns 1 she still isn't eating and just relies on milk? When I have my 1 year check with the health visitor will it raise concerns if she isn't really eating?? I try so hard everyday but it doesn't help. I'...

Anyone recommend combi feeding? Any advice be much appreciated and when best to start, my baby is 4 weeks.

Has anyone got any good recipes I can make my daughter for the freezer, ideally ones that can be microwaved straight from frozen. She absolutely loves broccoli and cauliflower risotto and lasagne!

When my son was weaning I was giving him chicken with sweet potatoes and broccoli and more! But now he won’t budge. I’m struggling so much with my sons food. He doesn’t want to eat chicken or lamb or fish or anything new he will be turning 3 in June. He just eats lentils (daal) with rice, waffles, weetobix and c...

I’m due to start solids properly with bub in about 10 days when she turns 6 months. I started to introduce purées here and there around the 4 month mark but she just seems to be disgusted in it and only wants her bottles. She is showing all signs of readiness but once the food is actually presented to her, seems to...

Hello! My LO has always been a very fussy eater and so I had caved a while back into using screens or distractions to get her to eat well Recently, she’s becoming even fussier and I don’t feel the screens are helping much and would really love to cut them out and encourage her to feed herself. I really do feel li...

Sorry long rant. My mum has been super obsessive over the way I raise my son since he’s been born. Everything I’ll take because she does help out, but one thing I can’t take is the monitoring of his eating constantly. It’s already stressful enough without her constantly asking me, what he’s eating, whether he’s ...

How are little ones with eating at the moment. Mines eating sooooooo little and I'm not sure at what point I should see someone about it if at all 🤷‍♀️ I know they go through fazes but feels like he's on a food strike. This has been about 2 weeks now
