Need some easy meal ideas sense i don't have a stove or oven. He wants regular food but not to sure what to feed him. He doesn't want the baby food anymore.

As you guys may know I can’t eat by myself so miss maam had baked chicken, rice, green beans and cornbread

Our little one seems to have no interest in spoon feeds and wants finger foods. He’s had melty sticks but I’m so fearful of choking I’m putting myself off of the idea. Anyone who did BLW, what foods did you try first?

I’ve been feeding her mostly mashed foods and purée but she hates all the savoury foods like homemade soup (potato, carrot and tomato) and supermarket purées such as carrot and sweet potato etc. She only likes sweet foods thanks to my MIL. She does love avocado. What else could I give her to encourage her to eat mor...

Hey ladies. Merry Christmas! 🎄 We picked up some of the Heinz jars for our 7 month old. (She hates BLW so the jars are our go to) Now the 6 month+ ones are the size of the one on the right but the 7 month+ jars are double the size. Now usually at tea time we would do a small jar and a yogurt or fruit puree. But…

My little girl is 5 months old and is showing so many signs she’s ready to eat. Today she actually grabbed an entire Yorkshire pudding off my plate and tried to ram it in her mouth (I caught it before she got a taste haha!) when are you all weaning your little ones? I know nhs guidance says 6 months, are you stickin...

Has anyone’s little one self weaned off of having milk as meals and just having one in the morning instead? Recently my son has not wanted to finish any bottle besides the first morning one, and instead is eating anything and everything he can get his hands on😂 I’m wondering if he has started self weaning?…

I never understand why some people love imposing their views on parents. Visiting French in-laws for Christmas. First thing this morning I got told off for giving my baby too much milk ( he had 7 oz bottle of toddler formula, served in two portions with a significant break between the two) and now they want to feed...

My lg is 16 mo and I refuse to give her any sugar or salt (except that from fruits or sodium naturally present in foods - eggs etc). She is refusing the foods she ate before and those that she liked but I also attribute that to her growth spurt. I did try adding some pink salt to her mashed potatoes and I think I...

Has anyone found an app or strategy that has worked for tracking first for exposure? I'm visual and like data and would like to find a way to log food exposure and preferences that is searchable for later.

Getting so disheartened with how little my 14 month old son eats. He has zero interest in food. Apart from breakfast that he will finish which is normally porridge or wetabix. He loves egg and toast, he will happily eat yogurt and fruit pouches He still loves his milk. I've tried the whole reducing the bottle th...

Ugh, I feel so pathetic for even typing this out, but I’m at my wits end. I look after my niece sometimes, she’s 19 months and my daughter is 13 months. My child will not leave her plate alone. Everytime the poor child attempts to eat, she goes and snatches her food right away. I can’t feed them both at the same tim...

Should I be offering my baby more than 1 food with every meal? I only give her like one thing per meal. So only French toast for breakfast. But I see loads of people offering French toast yoghurt and fruit all on the one meal. Is there a reason for this? Should I be doing that too? I've been making loads such as f...

Bit of a random one but has anyone else’s toddler got a favourite food that they constantly ask for , mine LOs is tomato’s 😂

My 18mo won’t eat anything. Eats well at nursery but won’t for me or my husband. What do I do? When should I be concerned? We’ve done a mixture of sitting elsewhere, baby led and spoon feed, different food and textures. He’s only interested in sweet stuff so we’ve stopped that. Then he’ll only eat some cheese 😩…

How should I solve this one? I’m not a fan of putting a lock in the fridge, it feels icky to me. I can try to hide but it’s Christmas so there’s cookies, cake, and fudge in there. I suggested a gate for the kitchen but my husband is certain that our 3 year old will climb over it. This is the third day he did thi...

Looking for clean cereal recommendations so my toddler can start eating his cereal in a bowl.

How do I get my baby to take to other food? We’ve recently started weaning and her first food was bananas. I feel like she’s declining other food as it’s not as sweet as banana. How do I get her to try other food?

Pretty please can everyone tell me what they give their little ones for lunch? Baby girls not massiveee on BLW but trying to improve this and just fed up of mashed avocados on toast🤣 Thankyou!!!🤍

My SIL was kind enough to babysit for me & she was giving my LO squash instead of water lol. I’m not mad at it bc hey, my LO never had squash before but now it seems like she prefers that over plain water. I’m not fully against her having some squash, I’d like a balance of water and some sweetened drinks, but do you...
