What are you giving your babies to eat after nursery?

My son has tea at nursery at 3.45 and then a snack when he gets home at 6pm. He then has 8oz formula before bed but I want to cut his formula out now but worried he’s going to be hungry. Are we cooking our babies proper meals after nursery due to their nursery tea being so early??

Weaning amounts?

Feeding

Hi My baby is 10 months and still isn’t particularly interested in actual food, he still much prefers to have a bottle. Is this normal or is there something more I should be doing?

100 foods

Anyone working on trying to get their baby to try 100 foods before 1? My babygirl started purees at 4 months, then solids at 6 months, but she started getting this blotchy red rash on her face sometimes even on foods that she hadn’t before so it kinda made us take a bit of a backseat on trying a lot of new foods. No...

Toddler eating nothing

She won’t eat any other food, I’ve been giving her a multi vitamin to make sure she’s getting enough everything she needs, but I’m getting so stressed… she takes one bite and is done with everything on her plate… ...
