My little one turns 10 months next week. He’s only really eating small amounts. I’d say the size of his fist at meal times. Not sure how to get him to eat a little more, anyone got any ideas? Also anyone recommended a silicone plate/bowl that actually suctions. All the ones I get up end up on the floor 🤦‍♀️

Looking for new meal ideas Generally baby eats what we eat but wondering what everyone else is feeding their little ones. We do BLW

My son does not like drinking cows milk, eating cheese or yogurts. I’m still breastfeeding him but I know my supply is very low so I’m not sure what to do. Any other mom’s experiencing this? I have to find other ways to increase his calcium/vit d

Could people pleeeease give me some dinner ideas for myself, my partner and my 10 month old? We're about to do a food shop and are just feeling so bored since we just seem to cook the same recipes that we know are good for our boy. For example we always cook bolognese, curries, and just too much pasta because it's ...

I’ve got a sheet of puff pastry just need some ideas of what I can do with it. I did cheese and veggie straws last time but my little one wasn’t keen on it. Not sure if it was the cheese because she’ll demolish all veggies. She’s got a dairy allergy and this ain’t the first time I’ve tried her with cheese. I’ve trie...

My LO has always been a good eater, he would eat anything and everything. But since he turned 12months he has decided he doesn't want to eat or try anything. Before he would love eating things like broccoli, now he just gags and throws it on the floor. Most things he wont even try to eat, just throws them on the flo...

Hi all In need of some advice as I don’t know if I’m doing this weaning thing all wrong or not!!!! My LO is now 8 months old, started purées at 6 months and he took well to it, slowly introducing more textured puree and ok so far. When I offer finger foods he will chew a little bit and then split it out or just t...

We have been weaning our 6 month old for 3 weeks now and she barely touches her purées. At most a tiny mouthful. I have been trying different veg purées and fruit purées. My book says to do 2 meals a day. Not sure whether to just keep offering the same food or whether to try ready brek or something. Any ideas?

how on earth do i get my boy to eat with a fork and spoon? he’s just so uninterested in it, he only eats finger food or if i spoon feed him. how can i change this? we eat around him so he sees us using cutlery, we offer him cutlery to use age appropriately, what’s our next step? pic of my little boy so i don’t get ...

My girl is about to turn 8months and I’m struggling so much with food ideas especially because she hasn’t got teeth yet

So my baby is 8 months and I’m worried about some of her milestones. She’s not really interested in food just yet.. and when she does eat she rather use her mouth rather than her hands. Does anyone else experience this?

(i can see this is a rate my plate sort of group but the other blw group i posted on doesn’t look like anyone’s active at all as none of the posts have any comments on whatsoever) my baby is basically 8 months now and since christmas (5 month old ish) she has had ella’s kitchen purees, part because i was terrified ...

Every hour.... Nack please mummy?!? Nack?!?!? Me have Nack now?!?! 😂😂 What do you give for snacks? She eats alot of fruit, but I worry about too much sugar. Sometimes I give a cream cracker, a couple of breadsticks, a handful of quavers. What do you all give for snacks?

Please ANY suggestions with getting these kids to eat. My little one is just not interested and I'm at my wits end.

It's more easy for her to eat like this 🫠 do your babies eat like this too?

I feel like since my daughter turned 1 , 2 weeks ago, she has stopped eating. Foods that we’ve been eating for months that she would eat several spoonfuls of, she now will only take one bite and be done. I originally was thinking it was because she was teething but now it’s going on too long. Instead of her usually ...
