What age did everyone introduce ground meat to their babies? I made some lamb koftas for my 7 month old today. He seemed to really enjoy the taste, but struggled with the texture. Lots of gagging and he even threw up. Should I wait a bit before I offer him ground meat again? Or should I try again and maybe serve it...

I have tried various purées with my 6 month old. I have made my own and tried the pouches…vegetables, fruit and baby rice. He doesn’t like any of them…just tries to spit it out as soon as I put it in his mouth. I see so many babies younger eating lots of different foods, so makes you worry. Just wanted to get other ...

How much food are you feeding your 6month old?

My baby is 7.5 months old and still has zero interest in solid food. He does eat tea, which is puree that I have to feed him but he's not interested in other meals and he doesn't bring any food to his mouth or even play with it or touch it. I am combi feeding while I'm trying to wean him off breastfeeding and I'm ...

Y’all, what are we doing for solids? How often and how much? Right after feeding milk? Snack in between feeds? Im also confused about cereal. How is a baby with no teeth supposed to eat that? 😂 i’m preparing sweet potatoes rn for his first official puree but I’m starting to get nervous 😭 honestly it’s not even that…

Do you all do breakfast/lunch/dinner bites or once a day type of thing where they get to explore foods?

My LO just got confirmed with having an egg allergy. What are some good egg free recipes for breakfast or egg replacements I could use.

My daughter is 3.5 weeks old and is only just over her birth weight. She is EBF but she just isn't that bothered about feeding, I generally need to prompt her rather her showing signs of hunger and she often only feeds for 5-10 mins. I don't really know when I'm asking, if anything, it's just my eldest daughter seem...

How much should they actually be consuming? My LO loved food to begin with. The past month or so he is not as interested (his first bottom teeth just came through). He will only actually eat when we spoon feed him or give him the food to his mouth. Even this he doesn’t always take it. We give him a solid (appropria...

I made green beans tonight and I usually add butter after I’ve taken a few out for baby to have, but I’ve been trying to allow myself to be calm to let him have more solids . So is butter okay for my baby?

Is it old school thinking to not start with fruit because they won’t want to eat veggies?

My son, Niran, was born on Oct 9th and we've been slowly introducing soft foods like mashed potatoes, and French fries (we of course assist with the fries right now) are there any others that I could possibly try before we get closer to transitioning to more solids?

Can anyone show me a picture of their child’s meal? my girl keeps chewing her hand/fingers and I’m wondering whether she’s hungry or teething.

Can any one give some suggestions on good biscutes to use for the first step of the dairy ladder? I’ve tried malted milk, I think they were too hard for my little one. I’ve tried biscotti but she dosnt seem to be a fan, never eats a whole one. I’ve not made the home made ones yet but will try this weekend.

So stuck for lunch ideas what do you give your little ones, don’t like to give her bread everyday as it makes me bloated and would worry it would do the same?

He won't try anything new if the texture is weird to him and I don't want him to lose weight because he is refusing food. Now he will eat snacks, like rusks or some fruit ect. But that's all he will eat an...
