Stupid vent

My husband recently started a new job with different hours. He gets home at 4 instead of 6pm. Every day so far (like 3 weeks) he has come home with food. Just for himself. Usually fast food. It often upsets my toddler cause dinner isnt until 6. My son wants the food especially french fries and such. He refuses to sh...

How are your 11m olds eating?

We’ve always had a well balanced combo of BLW and purĆ©es/ pouches. We used solid starts a lot and I’m aware 12 months is when you can start to serve food with little modification. I’m quite anxious around BLW still so I’ve been cutting everything into bite size pieces since 8.5 months. She eats a lot of different fo...

Weaning

So what’s everyone’s opinions on starting to slowly wean at 4+ months? I know it’s a very hot and cold topic, some people think absolutely not till 6 months but why does some baby food/pouches have 4+ months on if it’s not advised? Please comment your thoughts šŸ’

Eating for England!

Anyone else’s little one just eating non stop? I just can’t seem to fill him 🤣 He has 3 meals a day and half a million snacks in between. He also has cows milk first thing on a morning and right before bed. Is this a growth spurt thing? Or do I just have a baby with an insane appetite haha. He’s going to eat me…

BLW

I have done BLW with my little boy since weaning him and he took to it so well, chewed everything properly and would eat anything, however the last couple of weeks I feel like we’ve gone backwards, he will still eat everything but I’m having to cut it up for him because it’s like he’s forgotten how to chew or will j...

Struggling to feed 1 year old

I’m finding it really hard to feed my 1 year old. I have tried everything pouches, home cooking, putting just pieces of food on tray, letting her feed herself. But she is really struggling to eat any type of meal. She will eat picky bits like veggie crisps or fruit in a soft feeder. But anything else I’m finding har...

Does anyone else’s 12 month old love food one day and hates it the next?

My daughter loves to eat sometimes and then the other times, she just throws her food everywhere. Is she being overly picky or is this a phase thing?

Getting my little one to eat veg.

My little girl has just turned 1 and a half and she's a total foodie. She loves fruit but I can't for the life of me get her to eat veg. When I started baby led weaning she would eat a range of different vegetables and seemed to really enjoy them but over the last 7 months she just won't eat them. I have tried blend...

11 months not eating as much

Is this happening to you too? My 11 months old baby had a great appetite but for like 3 days now he's just been eating less and less. He doesn't mind fruit pouches or yoghurt and but something else he just eats a little and he's done. Thankfully he's still breastfeeding.

Little one not eating solids

My little girl has tonsillitis now for the 3rd time and this time it’s completely stopped her eating all together! She hasn’t had anything solid since Tuesday (she’s had 1 mouthful of weatabix and spat it out), people keep telling me as long as she’s having milk she’ll be okay but I can see the weight dropping off h...

My daughter hates anything that isn’t sweet. She’ll have fruits, yogurt, her milk etc. But refuses to eat any real food, purĆ©es is a nightmare, I have to trick her into eating and it’s a massive fight (loads of spitting on her end lol) Anyone facing the same struggles or does anyone have any meal suggestions? I’ve...

Is it normal for my almost 7 month old to just throw his food on the floor and not eat it?

We started purĆ©es at 4 months and when he hit 6 months I started BLW and puree (here and there). We are completely BLW now but he plays with everything and most of it ends up on the floor or his lap. I’m assuming this is normal since he’s so young and he is learning and soon enough he will consume more and the flo...
