We have just started tasting a few veg purées and so far he has screwed his face up at most of them and just sort of moved them around his mouth (assuming he’s swallowed) How long do we do this for? Will he eventually take bigger mouthfuls or how have people transitioned to full “meals” ?

How much is your little one drinking? My boy is on 3 meals a day, he sees his sister eating and has to eat too lol, so wondering how much everyone else’s babas drink too.

Hey guys..not sure if I'm doing weaning right. I've tried carrot, broccoli, potato, sweet potato. Out of them the best one was potato. I'm worried I'm not doing it right, my little one seems to store it in her mouth and doesn't swallow. Breakfast is a fail, she doesn't like porridge. We've been ok with pear, mango,...

I'm running out of ideas for lunches for my little girl. I need some ideas please! Share your toddlers favourite lunches to give me some inspo please! ❤️

I’d love to know some ideas of what your little ones are having for lunch? I’m struggling to think of different things for my LG and I feel like I’m repeating the same things every week

Hey mamas hope your all well! I’m currently trying to wean my boy. I have given him many puree foods to get an idea of what he has enjoyed. I’m now frightened to start foods that are solid e.g slice toast/ scrambled egg etc. I would really appreciate any advice on how to do this. I also wanted to ask how many times ...

What are we all staring our babies on in BLW I’ve tried finger foods with fruit but he’ll take a chunk out and gag and then spit the chunk out I can’t lie it scares me! I’ve tried veggies in purées and he gags and hates them and will only take fruit ones- how can I change this?

I’m literally going through it rn. My LO is 10mo and won’t eat any solids, just milk. I’m even more worried / filled with mummy guilt because his last weighing they said he was small for his age. Funny thing however he was a big baby all the way till he was 8 months, I really need all the advice I can get

Hi all! My 13months old baby started nursery a couple of weeks sgo. First week, he got norovirus ( stomach virus ) and since then he is not eating much ? I am a bit concern cause he looks very skinny and is not interested in bottles, cereals or in any other solid food. He eats, but very small portions as he used to....

Go to meals that your toddler will eat no doubt? Ideally a post for fussy eaters! LO surviving off pesto pasta atm 🤣

Just a first time mum that needs help! Since we started weaning my little girl has been on purées with a few snacks such as melty sticks and now I’m feeling guilty that I should’ve done BLW instead of relying purées and sometimes pouches. I’ve tried transitioning into BLW but it’s such a fail. Can’t get her to pic...

How do you feed your baby solid foods while away from home for the day? I obviously can’t bring my high chair with me, and I don’t want to make a huge mess at someone else’s home. Is there a trick to making sure they get their food feeding in?

feeling very defeated, my 1 year old won’t eat anything but fruit and canned soup and rice dishes. He used to love pasta and certain veggies but seems like he doesn’t like the texture or just doesn’t want it. How did yous deal with the picky faze? do i give in and only give him what he’ll eat? or do i just keep trying.

I’ll put a plate of food in front of my toddler and she’ll try putting all the food in her mouth then spits it out. Anyone else toddler does this ?

Is anyone else's little one eating like food is going extinct? My little girl turned 1 on the 16th, and from about a week before her birthday, she has been eating ALL. DAY. LONG. I'm not even joking. It feels like she has to be fed every hour unless she's sleeping. Ay nursery the other day they gave her 3 portion...

I'm trying to think of more finger foods for on the go

I need to start the milk ladder again but I think step one is the biscuit step and my little one no longer likes malted milk biscuits. Are there any other store bought alternatives I could try, or was anyone given any recipes to use? My HV has never sent any information through, despite asking a few times since he t...

My LO is still on the weaning journey and isn’t completely eaten solids yet I feel quite bad. I feel like she needs to be eaten solid already and properly cooked food.. who’s baby isn’t completely weaned yet? And still has milk and baby packets… Mines on 7months (Ella’s kitchen)

Anyone’s little one not feeding as well?

My son is a 4/1 baby and since developing his pincer grasp he has been putting EVERYTHING in his mouth. Now I KNOW it is normal for kids to taste their world to learn but this is different. I'm talking singular strands of hair, a grain of cat litter, a wood chip, a spec of fuzz, a crumb. He is brilliant. He started ...
