Anyone else finding their LO will put EVERYTHING in their mouth but never food? My boy has just turned 8 months and isn’t interested in anything other than purées

How much is your baby eating and drinking? My little girl was 7 months on 14th April. She will have 3 meals a day, breakfast and lunch are purées and then dinner she will have soft veggies and meat etc to feed herself. She is a very good eater. She will usually have a bottle of 5-6oz milk in between these and th...

Ok so when I am in a time crunch, I sometimes give my son these tinned spaghetti hoops/tinned cheesy macaroni. What I tend to do, is rinse the sauce off and make a veggie sauce with fresh broccoli, or butternut etc. He does love it! My MIL was absolutely appalled and said I am feeding him like a peasant/poor per...

Is anyone else struggling with weaning? My LO turned 6 months last Thursday and we’ve tried different veggie purées and had them as finger foods for him to try but he’s not bothered about either. I’m a first time mom and have no clue what I’m doing. He doesn’t let me put the spoon anywhere near his mouth and he puts...

Hii! We are starting purées and honestly it just seems like my baby hates them. Regardless of flavor she usually gags and spits it out and then fusses and wants out of the high chair. Anyone else experience this? What helped? My little is 6 months old and able to sit on her own so I know she’s ready.

Anyone struggling with weaning? We started BLW but then found that a lot of food was getting stuck on the roof of our son’s mouth and probably paused a bit early. Now I’m finding it really hard to get started again! My partner is a little reserved about it, he’s worried about choking and doesn’t understand how our ...

Any other toddlers super picky!?

My 11 month old is having a hard time with food. I’m thinking it’s a texture thing. She wants food but the minute it enters her mouth she sticks out her tongue and takes it out. I do baked sweet potato strips with cinnamon but if they’re not soft enough it’s a no go. Banana is easy, pancakes, little puffs or puff st...

My little boy is 18 months now. I am struggling to say the least. I can't find anything that he wants to eat. I've tried literally everything I can think of. I've been on every site available. He's happy he's friendly. He's loving but oh my God I cannot get him to eat. What am I doing wrong here?

I can't get my 22 month old to eat much. Besides snacks, carbs, fruits he barely eats.. protein is always spit out and I'm struggling. Tonight I allowed him to have cereal for dinner because he needs to eat or he'll be up multiple times a night looking for milk (trying to wean). Any advice? I worry so much about mak...

My son can’t hold still when we are out at a restaurant. He can barely hold still while eating in a high chair and when he’s done eating he starts getting fussy. I typically bring toys but he just throws them on the ground. When he gets fussy or antsy I have to step out of the restaurant and let him walk around 😓.…

My Lo is 1.5 and is still 21.4 pounds. He eats well but is a picky eater so sometimes it’s hard to get things like veggies in him. Just wanting to know if anyone else’s LO is this weight but also really healthy. My ped said it’s ok but definitely need him to gain some more weight.

When we started our weaning journey we offered lots of varieties of food and she’s been doing really well. Lately, she fusses with her dinner unless it’s pasta. She turns her nose up at other food aside from pasta. I mean I love pasta but I can’t give it to her everyday. Anyone else struggled with their LO sudde...

Taking my LO away next month she will be 11 months and I'm stressing a bit about the food. Not so much breakfast as she can have eggs, fruit, yoghurt, porridge etc. But what do you guys do for the lunch and dinner. Do you recommend taking pouches (she doesn't normally eat pouches) but I'm thinking to take some as I'...

Anyone else's child really fussy with dinner? Is this a phase? Feels like a long one. Any tips?

My son is nearly 16 weeks. I’ve seen a few baby foods that say 4+ months on them. He’s on 7oz of formula and sometimes 1oz of breast milk extra. I’ve brought some baby porridge that says 4-6 months. Is it ok to start him on it? He seems hungry all the time. He’s a big boy almost 15lbs. He’s constantly watching us ea...

We started weaning at 6 months, started with purrees and finger foods. I wanted to do a mix of baby led and also spoon feeding. It’s gone a lot slower than I expected- baby now 8 months and used spoon as a teether most of the time. She likes to pick up and eat the finger foods but she ends up taking lots in not b...

My little one is 19 months we are due to go on holiday to Rhodes next week. I have not been abroad with him yet so feeling anxious. He has cows milk still at night and sometimes during the day…what do I do in regards to this when we are over there, will they have there own one that he can have or is he going to have...
