As long as there is no honey, that looks good!

I would say that’s fine. My son is 7 months and eats like that

Definitely fine

I’m still pregnant but really hoping to do baby led weaning when the time comes - do any of you know of books/guides for suitable foods at different stages?

I read that giving things that can be a bit gaggy like this with sauce- either mixed in or dipping sauce- helps a lot to prevent choking and gagging. I've been doing that with my 10 month old and it helps a ton. Of course then the cleanup is more exciting 🤣

I would say yes, I give similar things made from chicken of beef mince to my 7 month old. As long as there is no salt

Only thing to watch for is the salt content, if homemade definitely ok

This is a great resource, you can search any ingredient and they will tell you the safest way to serve it depending on age.

Looks great! I made some meatballs for my baby today! Turkey meat balls with spinach and apple. The apple made them so juicy and soft would recommend!

Help

My 5 week old is always up from 1am every hour grunting and squeaking and just won’t sleep. I end up having to bring him with me and I’m worried I’m creating a rod for my own back. I’m exhausted. First half of the night he’s okish. But from 1/2 it’s absolute hell. He farts a lot then as well but I just dunno what to do. Last night was the worst it’s been.

Naps!

My lo is 7.5 months and has recently struggled to be put in her cot for naps/sleep. She will sleep on me but as soon as I lie her down wide awake! Help!

Not sure what’s wrong- 5months

Has anyone experienced any of the below problems with their baby?
He’s always a happy baby so this is completely not him. He’s a terrible sleeper but now it’s worse, if it could.

He’s was EBF but now on formula for the last 2 weeks. 2 days in a row now he’s vomitted a lot of milk out everywhere in the evening and just before bed.
For example I was walking around the room with him around 18:45 and it just came out of no where everywhere.

He’s very miserable and takes ages to get to sleep. Crying lots.
He’s been dribbling a lot, flushed one cheek but I can’t see any teeth coming.

All night he just won’t settle in his cot. Sometimes just starts crying hysterically and I can’t settle him at all.

A very tired mama.

Any advise on what it could be?

Sleeping through

If your baby is sleeping through the night are you ever nervous about saying that to other parents with babies of the same age? My toddler no longer sleeps through without coming into our bed but did until about 11 months old and now my 11 week old has been sleeping solid for 3 or 4 weeks now. I always feel like I can’t say it to other mums because it comes across like I’m showing off…I know what the sleep deprivation feels like and how you can just resent anyone for anything🤣 but I kind of feel like I can’t relate sometimes.

Changing pram

When is everyone planning on moving baby from carry cot to the upright pram? Mine is nearly 4 months. Theres lots of different advice online.

Pregnancy insomnia??!

Hey, I’m 28 weeks and this is my 3rd baby. For the past 2 weeks I am able to get to sleep fine but really struggling with 3-4am wake ups. Once I wake up I cannot get back to sleep, meaning come 9-10am I am absolutely exhausted. Has anyone gone through this and is able to shed some tips on what might help
