Is anyone else having a really difficult time with weaning? I feel like no matter what I give him, he doesn’t like it. I try making everything fresh but so far he’s liked no veggies and the only thing he has taken to is some egg courgette fritters and some organic homemade natural yogurt. But he can’t have those all...

Since my baby was 6 months I’ve always had her on purées with a few snacks like melty puffs/sticks, also me feeding her bit of my food from my hands .

I feel like I’m just living off various types of breakfast bars!! I have a clingy baby who likes to be held, will only be put down for a few mins without getting frustrated, and will only sleep in the baby carrier until overnight when she goes down in the next to me fine. I don’t like cooking and eating from a bowl/...

My daughter is an amazing eater. She started solids at 5 months but she won't get off the boob! She will literally claw at me to get to them between meals despite having snacks between too.

My son turned 6 months last month and we were cleared to start single ingredient purees - we’ve done carrot, sweet potato, pear and apple. He loves them all, I’ve been trying to do one puree feeding per day but honestly haven’t been super consistent due to travel, events, etc. Just wondering if thats okay or should ...

When did your baby start eating soft solid foods other than purées ? My LO is 7 months today and has 2 teeth.

What’s your opinion on this? My baby is 4 months and has started on baby porridge and some purées that are 4+ months on the packet. My idea behind this is extra calories and he is really enjoying it. It’s not stopping any of his bottles, if anything he’s actually drinking more than he used too. Reason I ask is, ...
