She will try and taste playdoh, puts stickers her mouth, I can’t have any small toys around either because she does the same. I thought she would have outgrown this by now 😣

Hey all, anyone’s LO here go to a nursery where you take a packed lunch in? Running out of ideas and LO seems to want more on his packed lunch Just need some easy packed healthy lunch ideas LO is 15 months old

Chicken, broccoli and sweetcorn noodle soup.

As in tuna mayo

I used to give 2 solids a day to my now 8 months old I wanted to make that 3 solids, but he is barely drinking his 24 oz milk perday. Is he not ready to have 3 solids perday? I don't want his milk intake reducing as he needs atleast 24 oz per day. Should I still continue with 2 solids

Anyone having an unsuccessful weaning journey? My son absolutely loves porridge for breakfast but any other meals / BLW he’s just not fussed at all, gets himself so worked up 🫠🥴

Anyone having same issue? My boy is fully breast fed, but ever since starting him with foods, hes just sick everytime any food goes into his mouth, gips at everything & sick everytime, just now hes filled up the high chair tray of sick, from me giving him 1 spoon full of baby pasta

My baby is 4 months and I’ve bought the kendamil baby porridge and banana pudding. It says 4-6months, when did we all start little bits??

Anyone else’s 15 month old stop eating as much as they use too?

Feel like it’s a silly question, but what do people do for lunch and stuff if you’re not at home? First time with my 9 month old out yesterday, all I could think of taking was a banana, yoghurt, cucumber and little crisps. Need inspo!

Hey, my son has been doing really well with purées. He averages about 6-8oz of solids including proteins, fruits, veggies and whole grains. I’ve been introducing some baby led weaning. Looking for some new ideas, what amount/how much to offer per meal time. He doesn’t quite have his pincher grasp yet, but he will se...

Just looking for some new ideas really! She’s quite an open-minded eater currently (touch wood it continues), she’ll at least try things so we’re not fussy with any suggestions.

What's everyone's feeding and milk schedule like now? I'm struggling to get my little one to finish bottles and eat food. The only meal he's really eating is his porridge at breakfast then nothing else really. He picks at food at most so feel I need a shake up of our schedule

Is anyone else having trouble introducing solids or have any advice? My first was totally fine from the start and took to it well. This baby is gagging and choking on every little thing even like the softest over boiled sweet potato, I’ve had to do back blows twice already now and it’s terrifying me. I really don’t ...

Have you gave sweets and juice to the toddlers, yet? And if you did, why did you? I am genuinely curious. I haven’t, yet.

My 2.5yo daughter has been on a bit of a food strike lately. In desperation her Dad put “magic” sprinkles on her tomato flatbread the other day and VOILA! Fixed. Now she’ll eat every drop of her food if it has some “magic”! I’ll take the little victory till she’s back on her food normally ☺️ today’s sprinkle surpr...

Is anyone else thinking BLW was just pointless now I’m getting toast lobbed off my head most mornings 😂😂 finding going back to spoon feeding just to make sure he’s eating something instead of loving the splat noise it makes hitting the floor 🤦🏻‍♀️

Does anyone’s toddler still do this? He stopped and started doing this again with literally everything, play doh, tissue, who knows what he’s being eating at nursery. Is this something of concern and I should check it out at the doctors?

Looking for lunch ideas other than bread based things like toast and crumpets please?
