6 months old-starting foods

Hello! We are going to be starting foods. I donā€™t know why but I am feeling overwhelmed about it. I am wanting to start with purĆ©es and with vegetables. My question is how often should I feed my baby the purĆ©es and when can I switch to other foods? Any tips and advice is greatly appreciated

Picky eaters?

My baby has been eating tremendously well since she began eating at 5-6 months. She would eat anything we feed her. But since three days ago she has been very picky, selective.. sometimes would eat something really well, then the next day we would offer the same thing for lunch and refuse it. Itā€™s just super odd. I ...

Does anyone offer a snack?

A bit divided whether I should offer a snack. And if yes then when do you normally do it? The reason being is my girl is sooo hungry by 5.30pm that making it to 5.30pm so the whole family can eat together is a bit of a struggle for this last half an hour

I was not worried or in a major rush as his father and I work opposite schedules and I wanted to prepare his first foods for him also his last dr ap...

Is it bad to give my 9 month old (who isn't very interested in food yet despite me offering every day) the same foods I eat?

As in I don't purposely use less salt or seasonings. Obvs don't give honey or cow's milk uncooked

Hates touching foods

Hey mamas! I have an 8 month old who we originally started on purĆ©es and iā€™m now trying to transition to BLW. She is happily eating the food if iā€™m putting it to her mouth but will gag if the food touched her hands and will not move food from her plate to her mouth. Any ideas of how to fix this?

Picky eater

My son is 17 months and when it comes to getting him to eat food is impossible. I have done everything Iā€™ve made his food look fun, no matter what I do itā€™s just wasted. He drinks his fluids and heā€™s yogurt all day. Dinner is about the only time I can actually get him to eat because he is hungry. Is this a stage?
