As of now she has an egg allergy, she had a mild reaction to eggs so we have an appointment scheduled for January. She is able to eat plant based eggs and I am thankful for this alternative.

We started at the weekend, had carrot and breast milk puree (twice) and avocado slices. I think we’re spitting out at least as much as we’re swallowing, but my little girl seems to be really enjoying it

Literally feel like my little girl just doesn’t want to eat she literally has like 2 spoons and won’t take anymore she’s only on bottle am and pm now but she just won’t eat much and I’m little worried now she’s 11 months

Lunch time today for my 3 year old and 11 month old. Ham pizza with crackers, raisins and cut up salami sausage. My son loves pizza, my fussy little 3 year old though will probs just eat the crackers😅🤦🏼‍♀️

Anyone else’s LO won’t eat sandwiches? 😩 tried brown and white bread and all different fillings, but not having any of it. BUT she is a brilliant eater and eats absolutely everything else!!

What are we feeding our picky eaters. My 15 months old used to eat anything I put in front of him now will only entertain chips, plain pasta, fruit pouches, banana pancakes, fish fingers ect starting to worry about not eating any veg

Anyone else have a partner who doesn’t just open the corner of the cereal

Hi ladies, Hit me with your finger food ideas please? My LO is 6 months +, and looking to introduce him to more solids but no idea what finger foods to use. Also, when did you start giving your LO finger food please? Thanks my loves!

I’m barely going to start solids with purées and cereal. I’m a ftm so how often do I give him solids a day starting off ? I’m combo feeding breast and formula right now.

After a visit to her pediatrician they advised me to start her on use of utensils. To which I tried and my daughter would only continue to chew just the spoon not food. She use her hands for most meals. Any tips or suggestions for this!? Thx in advance 💖

Has anybody weaned baby slowly to formula? Thinking of starting to wean my girl and just BF morning and night. Just looking for tips/advice!

How did you teach your little one to chew. In the last month or so she just learned to put food to her mouth but she mostly swallows it so I make sure to give her soft foods. I just don’t know what to do or how to teach her to chew. When I show her by putting food in my mouth and chewing she just laughs lol which do...

My daughter is always hungry she’s 7 months old and we feed her solids and breast milk but she’s still hungry and idk what to do. Shes on the chunky side so is that playing a factor 😂 she’s content after about 3 pouches of food which range from 90-100 calories

I am having such a hard time getting my kids to eat anything that doesn’t come out of a box or frozen. I try to offer meals we cook but they refuse and when I’m at my wits end I just give them something I know they’ll eat bc I need them to EAT something. I feel like such a failure.

My almost 7mo has started solids and he is LOVING every minute of it! Problem is my husband hardly ever feeds him purées, solids, etc because it’s “too messy.” I’ve been having health issues and asked him to take over feeding tonight (spaghetti) and hubs got some on his hand and freaked out and said that he knows to...

My little boy is almost 3, were on the waitlist to be assessed for autism. He constantly puts objects in his mouth and chews on them. Whether these are hard objects, chewable objects, books, and he quite often seeks these objects out, especially at preschool, has anyone got any advice or alternatives for me to buy him?

Anyone elses LO seem to have an issue with spoons when weaning? I've tried 3 different types of spoon with my LO but he refuses all of them. He'll happily take puree off my finger when offered, but won't touch it on a spoon. I've tried loading the spoon for him to feed himself, but generally he just flings the food ...
