Where to buy fruits/veggies for baby puree?

Farmers market not in season until May but that's all we want to feed our baby. What are some good substitutions until the farmers market opens in May?

Is it okay if my 8 month olds don’t eat baby food every day?

Some days they are just not interested in baby food and only want their bottles and maybe will eat a lil crunchie or two. I’m a first time mom so I don’t know if this is okay. I don’t want to be underfeeding my twins. 🙃🙃🙃

Food

Just wondering how much food or how many meals your baby is having a day. I am really struggling with my daughter who will be 10 months this weekend. She shows little interest in food.

weaning - 9 months

So my LO is currently almost 8 months and is exclusively breastfed. I haven’t started weaning him into food yet because he’s not ready in the sense that he can’t sit unsupported, and he isn’t interested in my food (but he does put everything in his mouth toys wise!) and apparently they are the two signs that a baby ...

Dinner refusal

My 10mo has just started to refuse his dinner. We’ve been lucky that from the start he’s taken really well to solids and he will still gladly scoff his breakfast and lunch but the last 2 weeks he just is uninterested and sometimes very upset at the idea of eating dinner. We can’t work it out as it doesn’t make a dif...

Not eating solids

My baby just turned 7 months old today, and he still doesn’t sit up. He hates both of the high chairs I bought and refuses to eat solids. I’ve tried everything every day, but nothing works. My pediatrician says it’s normal and that I shouldn’t worry until he’s 8 months old. Has anyone else gone through the same thin...

Is my toddler acting up or is it me?

I’m pregnant, in my 2nd trimester with a toddler. I don’t know if I’m quickly irritated or my toddler’s behaviour has taken a turn for a the worst of toddlerhood but I’m slowly losing my mind! I don’t know what to do to keep him busy as he wants me stuck to him like his shadow in everything he does except screen tim...

Solids

I never had any issues with my first but my daughter barely eats any real food. She’ll eat yoghurt and fruit no problem, but no carbs or protein most of the time. She’s still breastfed so I’m not overly worried from a nutrition standpoint but could do with some solidarity or maybe food suggestions? I don’t know
