Hi everyone My daughter is 7 months old and is doing so well with food. Im doing a mixture of blw and puree. She is having 3 meals a day and is trying loads of different foods. Im trying to give her what we have so she loves a roast dinner, steak pie, soup etc (all made with no salt etc). Im worried 😟 m…

I took my LO to her 1 year appointment & her iron was slightly low, not by much. But I kind of expected it since she won’t eat eggs, oatmeal,spinach basically all the iron foods. Any moms have any recipes where I can hide any of these foods in without the baby noticing. Thank you.

So my son turns 9 months tomorrow and the past few days he has not eaten anything I've made him, he will eat a mouthful of bits and bobs but that's it. He is waking in the night because of it as he is hungry but I don't know what to do if he keeps refusing it ☹️ Also gotten a pretty bad attitude lately too, growls ...

Anyone have any idea what I can do to get my little one to eat her dinner? It’s every single day! We try a variety of foods (even just freezer food) but she’ll take maybe two bites and just play with it. I know she’s hungry because she asks for snacks instead. She eats breakfast just fine and sometimes lunch but she...

Broccoli Mac and cheese, green beans and a poached pear

So I have a friend she’s been “weaning” her baby from 4 months ( was not told my ped or dietitian so she shouldn’t be ) but I don’t want to argue about that, that’s just one layer to this. NOW: she mentioned she was putting baby rice and rusks in milk bottle She also feds baby with something propping bottling...

Won't have sauce on it or anything. Any tips for fussy eaters to get some nutrients in?

Has anyone’s little one went through or going through a phase of just throwing food on the floor? My little girl still sits in her highchair but it’s on the floor like a normal chair, I make her food and she just throws it on the floor and eats some of it; I’m sure I’m making the portion sizes correct and I make thi...

My LG is 6mo and ready to be introduced to solids. This week, I've tried a bit of BLW e.g. stick of potato, stick of avocado, and toast, following guidance from Solid Starts. I'm struggling with this so much, it's giving me way too much anxiety. Do you think its okay to stick to purees and mashed foods for say the...

My toddler just dips his utensils into his food and doesn't try to scoop. I've shown him loads and he still doesn't get it 😅 It sort of works for some foods, but other foods like potatoes sort of need scooped up so I'm struggling

My baby girl is only 4 months and we don’t plan on feeding her solids until 6months but wanted to get researching from now. Does anyone know any good resources on how to start feeding baby solids?

I’m cooking it to blend into veggies etc But what would you do with quite a lot of leftover cooked mince for future meals for baby? Thanks for any advice pray 🙏

I cannot keep any weight on me I’ve lost almost 20lbs in the past 6 months. I’m breastfeeding and honestly considering stopping if this keeps up. Any food/ meal ideas for gaining ? Thank you all in advance 💕( pic just because he’s a cutie)

My little one only drinks 5oz per feed every 2.5-3 hours, sometimes he will drink a 6oz (maybe once a day). He really doesn’t seem interested in food but we try every evening with some puree and finger foods. Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing similar?

My LO has temperature today and does not want to eat or drink anything. Before he would at least take the breast, but since I’ve weaned him, I don’t even have that as an option. Any advice on how to trick them into eating? 😭😭

Anyone else’s baby only seem to like sweet food? He’s hardly eating anything ‘proper’, hardly eating anything at all really!! For an example, lunch today I offered him meatballs made with turkey, sweet potato, spinach and cheese with potato and broccoli ‘tots’, strawberries and yoghurt. All he ate was the strawberri...

So my daughter will be 8 months old on the 29th, and she has been on purées ever since she was almost 6 months old. She eats food twice a day for breakfast and dinner and has bottles throughout the day. She's done well the entire time, but for the past 2 weeks, she seems uninterested in breakfast. I'm not sure if sh...

My baby has just been on purées and ready brek but I want to try more proper food. I want her to have pasta and get it everywhere I think it’s the cutest thing in the world 🥺. BUT I don’t know how to serve the pasta please can you share what you do x

Hey! My little one is making me question my sanity lol! She will eat most things for dinner - she will eat any meat/veg/pasta/rice etc but breakfast time is always a struggle. She will only eat fruit/veg and natural yogurt. I have tried oats, weetabix, ready brek… anything other than natural yogurt and she just won’...

Hi, anyone else still got a toddler that BFs loads including to sleep and multiple times in the night and doesn't seem to eat much? I just feel like we should have progressed from this and I'm not sure if I need to try and do something about it or if it's still within the realms of what's biologically normal? He har...
