20 month old still struggling with solids

My LG still has the baby microwave meals as she refuses to eat any ā€œsolidā€ dinner. She will eat a proper breakfast and lunch, but will only have the purĆ©ed dinners! Is anyone else in the same boat or can recommend anything?

Weaning šŸ„—

Since our November babies are either already six months or coming up to 6 months, I’m wondering where to start with weaning. First time Mum so I’ve never done this before. I’ve ordered her some bowls, bibs and spoons. I’m not too fussy how we feed her however I would like to do some baby lead weaning alongside pouc...

Feeding

Does anybody else find if they are out and about for the day their little one doesn’t eat as much? My little boy is going on 10 weeks and he can go 4 hour stints without even giving cues that he is hungry. When we’re at home it’s every 2-3 hours like clock work.

My daughter starting purĆ©es and won't open her mouthšŸ¤¦šŸ¾ā€ā™€ļø

I'm not super worried because she's still at six months going on seven, but she is completely unwilling to try even just a little bit. I would hate for her to fall behind in nutrients or lack what she needs so I'm hoping she will become more open. Today she tried a couple spoons of banana, but was blowing bubbles th...

Reduced appetite

Anyone else’s little ones appetite completely gone? She’s literally only eating snacks and that’s what she’s been living of the past week. She’s gone off everything and not really eating much.

Food!

Help! Literally desperate here. We are currently on the waiting list for an evaluation. And we have been waiting nearly 2 years to see a dietitian. My child has ā€œsafe foodsā€ and often declines the new foods that are offered. We always put a safe food down along with a new food and chat him through the plate along ...

Do your kids eat well?

My 3.5 year old basically survives the day on pears and apple juice. He'll refuse actual meals unless it's one from his list he'll eat (which is about 10 meals). He's never hungry in the mornings and I can never get him to eat a proper lunch. Is this normal?

Weaning

Hello I’ve started to wean my baby doing purĆ©e and offering a finger food alongside it. I’m not comfortable with BLW but thought I’d try today as I was offering a banana. When trying the banana spear it broke off in his mouth is this normal? I fished it out straight away as I was worried he’d choke.

3rd meal ??

What age is everyone planning on introducing a 3rd meal? My LO is 7 1/2 months and on breakfast and lunch. I don’t plan on introducing a 3rd meal for a while, but I’m just curious about what everyone else’s plans are for when they’re going up to 3😁
