Is it bad to give my 9 month old (who isn't very interested in food yet despite me offering every day) the same foods I eat?

As in I don't purposely use less salt or seasonings. Obvs don't give honey or cow's milk uncooked

So we've been weaning for the last 3 months now. Everything has been fine all the way through. Our LO didn't eat much at first and alot ended up on the floor. Recently she's been eating alot more and starting to finish what we put in front of her. We seem to now have the opposite problem to what we started with. S...

7.5 month old dinner

My little munchkin had salmon and broccoli tonight & is absolutely loving it. We do a mix of BLW and purées, but she prefers our food, so BLW it is 😅

Hates touching foods

Hey mamas! I have an 8 month old who we originally started on purées and i’m now trying to transition to BLW. She is happily eating the food if i’m putting it to her mouth but will gag if the food touched her hands and will not move food from her plate to her mouth. Any ideas of how to fix this?

Meals for 16 month

Can anyone suggest meal ideas for 16 months please? Really struggling to get them to eat any type of meat and point blank refuses any type of pasta. Feel like we’re stuck in a rut of the same few meals on repeat

Picky eater

My son is 17 months and when it comes to getting him to eat food is impossible. I have done everything I’ve made his food look fun, no matter what I do it’s just wasted. He drinks his fluids and he’s yogurt all day. Dinner is about the only time I can actually get him to eat because he is hungry. Is this a stage?

Just curious how your babies are doing with food?

Mine was born 8/12. Until three days ago I had only given him frozen mango for his teeth or frozen apple juice per his pediatrician as he is constipated every so often. I was not worried or in a major rush as his father and I work opposite schedules and I wanted to prepare his first foods for him also his last dr ap...

Does anyone offer a snack?

A bit divided whether I should offer a snack. And if yes then when do you normally do it? The reason being is my girl is sooo hungry by 5.30pm that making it to 5.30pm so the whole family can eat together is a bit of a struggle for this last half an hour

Feeding problems.

I’ve been feeding my baby one jar of a fruit or veg puree (alternates daily) a day. And now she’s had a fully solid poop. She’s almost 7 months old. Should I continue the one a day or should I spread them out more. Also her 6oz bottles no longer seem to be enough for her. I even made her a total of 10oz and she’s st...

Fruit

Howwwww do I get my little one to eat fruit?! I keep offering it and he just won’t even touch it!! The only fruit he’ll eat is black grapes. I’ve been giving him fruit pouches recently so that he’s getting something but I just want him to be healthy! He does eat veg but he’s not always consistent with that either ...

Weaning

My little one was 6 months old on the 2nd of February however we started weaning him at 5 months (chunky boy who loves his food and was more than ready)! We have been weaning for a good few weeks now, I think we are going through another growth spurt as he’s napping a little more and there has been no filling him ...

Does your child eat their meals infront of the telly?

My son eats all his meals in our lounge sat on a small table and chairs infront of a telly with us. Sometimes I feel a bit bad when I think of family’s eating at a dining table in a separate room but our house is too small.
