How many ounces should a 6 month old consume along with solids?

Dude wtf do I do my toddler won’t eat anything I give him…. All he wants is snacks. This morning I cut up a bagel for him, fried an egg and cut up banana and he won’t eat any of it I’m about to go ballistic he wastes all our fucking food should I call his DR?

How is everyone getting on with weaning? My son was born on the 9th so coming up 7 months and he is still refusing food! He pushes my hand away with the spoon, turns his head frantically so I can’t get it in. When I do manage to get the spoon in, he just pushes food straight out again. Nearly a month I’ve been tryin...

Is anyone else’s toddler not chewing their food anymore? Honestly takes my daughter about 1 hour to eat a croissant because she’ll sit there, take a bite and suck on it and then eventually swallows it. 🫠 I tell her to chew it and she just turns her head away from me so I can’t see her

Hi all, It might sound silly and I’m not sure if I’ve missed this somehow , but is your little one able to eat with cutlery yet,? I’ve been always feeding her with a silicon spoon which is kind of long so when she pick it up she can’t get in 😂 so I’m not sure whether she’s should buy some spoon that will be…

We are currently in the trenches of cutting his top 2 teeth and it’s been a nightmare, has anyone else’s baby gone off food when teething? He didn’t when he cut his bottom 2 but for the last 2 days he will have about 2 spoons and then just refuse and keep his mouth shut. I’ve even tried giving him finger foods but h...

Let me start with I’ve got severe anxiety and one of my bigger anxiety’s is around solids with my son. He is coming up to 11 months. I never done the baby led weaning going straight in with a wedge of avocado or a broccoli floret because well.. my heart couldn’t take it. I started on purees and gradually got lumpier...

Looking for advice or any shared laughs from mamas that are going through this! My little girl has completely out of the blue decided she hates the high chair. As soon as she is placed there for meal times she starts crying, throwing herself back, kicking and pushing the food away. The first few times I thought perh...

Hello mamas, Are your 7-8m old still fussy when eating solids? I’ve been introducing table foods and doing purées but my son is more interested in just playing with his food than eating. I’ve tried BLW and traditional weaning (feeding him myself) but he’s just so fussy when eating. Well he’s fussy and annoyed and g...

Travelling to Amsterdam soon with my babies who will be 24 months and 9 months and my husband. Is it possible to feed baby during lift off/landing to help with the popping? Also, what can I give to my toddler to help him? He doesn’t use a dummy anymore (weaned himself off just after turning 1) and don’t want to rein...

My little one is refusing all type of foods for a week now and he has lost weight. I have been twice to gp, once to A&E and also spoke with HV and they can’t find anything on my LO. He is playing and passing wee that’s all the my are interested on. I am going crazy they say is a phase, has anyone gone through this? ...

I already have the purées so I wanna use them up but my son prefers to be able to feed himself

My little girl is starting nursery for half a day, 1 day a week I’m just wondering if anyone has any good/nutritional ideas I could pack for her lunches when she goes? she’s a very good eater, this mum just needs some new ideas💡💭

We introduced solids when our LO turned 6 months old, he had no interest in BLW or purées. Fast forward 3 months later; we’re still in the same boat. He doesn’t eat 3 spoonfuls of food let alone 3 meals a day. He enjoys his milk; still having 6 bottles a day. HV has requested nursery nurse to come out and speak to...

how many meals/bits of food is everyone giving there little one in a day?

I’m beginning to worry now as he rarely finishes 1 full meal a day. He will snack throughout the day but not that much and he will never eat at nursery. Anyone else in the same boat or have any advice? 😢

We successfully feed our little girl BLW since around 5mo. She always took a big interest in food, and fed herself very nicely. In this past 5 months, she grew 4 teeth, went through some sickness but NEVER refused food. Now, at 10mo, I cannot get her to eat anything, no meat, no veggies, no fruit, no purees (which n...

My 11 month daughter has suddenly become very fussy with food. Would eat pretty much anything prior. Has anyone else found this and what did you do to try and get them back on track! Thanks x

When I say my baby was a foodie they ate literal adults portions and loved food! Switch gone off and now not really eating dinner? Do you always offer a substitute? Don’t want to create ‘bad’ habits but do not want them to go hungry!?

Anyone else struggling to get their baby to like veggies? 😅
