Heya ladies so I have a 1 year old and he only has 2 teeth , it's hard to give him some foods because he can't chew them .... any advice what I could give him

Now our babies are 9 months old how is everyone preparing the food now? Am I right in thinking it's bite size pieces now? I'm curious how everyone is serving toast and sandwiches?

Anyone's babies still hating it? My little boy will literally have tiny mouthfuls of puree, anything slightly lumpy he gets so upset and BLW he just throws on the floor will not entertain putting anything to his mouth 😅 I know its a process and they learn as you continue trying but we don't seem to be getting…

My lb only recently started liking food and I’m not sure if he’s eating enough. For breakfast today, he had 1 weetabix mixed with 3oz milk and half a banana and blueberries chopped up in it. Is that enough?

Does anyone here give their toddler protein shakes? My boys diet is terrible, he's horrendously picky and barely eats anything. He won't touch meat at all, the only dairy I can get in him is greek yogurt. Fruit is now becoming a task and he'll only have it in puree form 😩 and obviously veggies are a big no no. He…

My boy has been refusing his meals I’m thinking I’m giving too many snacks.. as I’m thinking he’s hungry so food isn’t ready but then giving him something small but it’s not working out recently.. kinda stuck..

My son is 12 months old. We’re a bit late to start with BLW (my own worrisome wasn’t helping) He gags a lot but I think it’s because he shoves a lot into his mouth at once. I demonstrate to spit it out and he sometimes does. Is the meat a good size here? It was his first time eating meat alone and I’m wondering ...

He tries so hard to use the spoon and fork, but just can't grasp how to load the food on himself 😩 is it just practice makes perfect?

Anyone else dealing with their Lo refusing to eat almost all of their meals and just wanting to snack all day.. he eats a large variety of food and nothing is ever the same as the day before, but recently he’s only been wanting to snack or eat certain meals.

If someone gets offended if you don't eat their food wtf is that?

How many bananas do your toddlers eat a day?! And how many is too many?? My 14 month old will eat at least three bananas a day (amongst other food) and I’m just hoping some others are the same!
