Tesco Meatballs for Baby?

Can I give my baby 1 or 2 (cut up) meatballs from Tesco? I’m just worried about the salt but it’s classed as medium at 14%? I never know whether I can give baby any foods we have that include any salt at all ..

Weaning

We’re due to start weaning our little one this weekend, just looking for advice. We’re starting with baby porridge and then building it up with purées and BLW. When is best to give little one porridge? Morning, afternoon or tea and before or after bottles? Thank you!

Is it time to try small chunks of food?

Noticed over the last week my LO has really mastered his pincer grasp. He is loving cheese and can pick up grated pieces very easily. I have mainly fed him mashed and puree’d food but have started to offer finger foods every meal time now also. I’m honestly still very anxious about him choking especially on toast....

Once or twice she has made herself sick after making gagging and choking faces Tried with bricolli, potato, banana, Carrott...

Asking for food then not eating it

Does anyone else's LO throw a tantrum when they want a certain food and then when you give it to them they don't eat it? My LG screams for bananas and then half the time as soon as I open it she says no ?!

Fed the dog for the first time!

Just given my little girl some toast and butter for lunch, she normally drops bits and bobs so my dog is in food heaven, however she just held a bit of toast over the edge on purpose and my dog took it out of her hand (very gently!) I'd be lying if I didn't panic a little but was very proud of my dog for taking calm...

Lost interest in food

My little one was doing pretty well with weaning, would try most things, mainly loved finger food. For the last week or so he’s pretty much completely gone off food. Eats the odd sweet potato wedge, or something. But he really doesn’t seem interested. Not sure what to do!
