My LO, who will be 6 months in 3 days, has been constipated , taken him to GP, and not much was done, passing stool with stain of little blood yesterday. Stool is hard like rock. Any advice on solid food/ fruits that naturally helps with bowel movements?

Anyone else’s LO refusing to eat all the food he liked when first trying solids? My LO absolutely loves stuff like avocado or carrot in his first week of weaning but by the second week he refuses to eat anything but the smooth baby rice. Should I still keep trying to give him these each day?

My baby boy turned 4 months on the 3rd. At his pediatric appointment, his doctor said solids can be started any time between 4 and 6 months. I planned to start purées at 5 months and then transition to blw at 6 months. His doctor said babies that start solids early typically start because they aren’t gaining weight ...

I always struggle when grocery shopping to find stuff that would be good snack foods! What do you like to feed your LO throughout the day between meals? 🤷🏻‍♀️

I hope to breastfeeding for at least a year.. my family is irritating me claiming that my son needs to start eating baby food. He’s 4 months and he gets baby rice cereal in his bottle about 60 percent of the time and it’s not much. From my knowledge babies bellies are not ready to digest food but I could be wrong ...

Do we need to sterlize baby bowl and spoon too? LO is 6 months old. Also any recommendations for baby cereal ?

My husband and I had plans tomorrow, it’s our week without SD. SD called 10 mins ago saying her mom can’t take her to her soccer game, once he told her he couldn’t, the mom in the background said “ok I’ll take you.” So it wasn’t a matter of not being able to, it was not wanting to. Now my husband is scrambling, tell...

what have y’all been making for dinners? I get stressed about foods that are safe and aren’t. I need some new ideas!

Is it possible to relactate after 2 months of not breastfeeding? My 6 month old doesn’t want to drink her formula anymore and will cry when it’s time to eat purées. I feel like I’ll just have to go back to breast feeding just to make sure she’s getting enough nutrients. I stopped breast feeding when she was 4 months...

My 2yo has become a picky eater, and it’s a battle to convince her to eat vegetables. I get her pouches with kale and broccoli, but it isn’t enough. She likes water, but isn’t always interested in drinking it. This of course means she is periodically constipated. I put spinach in her quesadilla the other day and she...

Little girl is 10 months today and up until this last week weaning was going well. We were on 3 meals a day, a mixture of BLW and purées. She would always finish her breakfast and lunch, then dinner being the newest meal introduced she was just about starting to eat that bottle. We were on 4 7oz bottles a day but t...

My LO is poorly and is barely eating anything he only wants yoghurts chocolate and any small snacks he’s refusing to eat meals and even breakfast now I’m unsure what to do. Would you feed him whatever he’s eating and just hope he gets out of it or push on giving him meals and nothing else? He’s full of cold, rash on...

Hello, I know this is controversial however has anyone gave their 4 month old the Ella pouches which say 4+ or the smooth porridge? My little boy suffers from reflux badly and I was wondering whether trying him with those would help slightly? Thank you 😊 ps what is the research that doing this would harm them?

I am still breastfeeding. I know before 1 it was offer breast milk then food. My little one is 13 months. Should I still nurse her before solids? I am confused.

Is this sort of nappy a cause for concern? He’s been having quite liquidy poos for a couple of days - some with bits of obvious food, others look more like discoloured water. Don’t remember my first going through this. He had weetabix for breakfast, so this is what this kinda resembles? Haven’t really given hi...

Hes been on solids since 6 months puree and finger foods. All he will eat is melty puffs. He put everything in his mouth but food. In 3 months he has probably had 2 weeks of actually eating. Now I'm lucky if he willingling opens his mouth 3 times a meal. When I do get food in he enjoys it and doesn't spit it out. I'...

Just staring to introduce lunch to my 7 month old! Started with just yoghurt but slowly adding more. First time trying egg, and she cried 😂 don't think she liked it, any tips on trying egg will be highly appreciated?! On the plate we have, Apple&Pear baby brekkie (left form yesterday) a yoghurt, scrambled egg and…

Hey I’ve dropped the morning bottle because when they have the morning bottle they are too full for breakfast. Is it too early to do this? They usually enjoy porridge first thing which is a good substitute

My LG 20mo is literally not eating a single thing but seems totally fine in herself? Even her favourite snacks she’s throwing away! Seems to only want to eat smooth food such as yoghurt or the fruit/vege pouches….. is this normal she hasn’t had a proper meal in days now

My LO is 4 months now and started on Purees she tried strawberry purées this morning and came out with redness around her face could this be a sigh it’s an allergy she only ate couple of spoons full and also she seems to be sleeping more than usually day is this normal?
