BLW advice

My LO is 10 months (starting nursery next month) and always had a combo of purĆ©es and BLW from 6-8.5 months. then she started taking massive bites, shoving lots in and struggling to break it down (I know this is normal for that age), but she would panic very quickly and then I couldn’t get her to copy me spitting fo...

Snacks

If your toddler is anything like mines, a snack bin has done wonders. I put one in their play space and they just come grab what they want, when they want it. Before my oldest would throw fits if you didn’t guess what snack he wanted. Something so simple can make such a difference.

My ā€˜what do we feed the baby’ lunch šŸ˜‚

This lunch is so easy and quick to make when I forget to pre-cook something or me and his Dad aren’t eating with him at lunch time. A real crowd pleaser too! The plates normally clean at the end. Scrambled egg, avocado and a toasted bagel with butter.

It’s bananas: based on the picture below, what is considered the best and worst stage to eat a banana (in YOUR opinion).

I know some love overly ripen bananas to make other recipes, and I do too. But I’m asking about eating the banana as is.

Am I doing this right?

We’ve got chicken for protein, noodles with cream sauce for carb and dairy, vegetables and fruit. Am I missing anything? My toddler will chew through this and ask for more, so I thought maybe he was deficient in something but I don’t know what.

Weaning

I would have been happy to have him try things like ready brek, rusks, weetabix etc but he wants him to have only natural things and now I feel like I don’t know where to start.. not...

Does anyone’s toddler actually eat soup or anything with similar consistency?? She’ll eat weetabix, porridge, hummus type things but not soup/stew. I’ve been trying consistently 2-3 times weekly for months but still no luck!

She used to be fine with soup/stews when we started weaning up until she turned one and then it’s gone downhill from there. She’s now 18 months and still refuses to even try it. I’ve tried giving it in different forms, with rice, with bread to dip etc but she just won’t try it 😭
