My son 14 months. Will not eat any food unless it’s a potato waffle or a chicken nugget. We are a house that has quite an extended pallet and we offer all our food to our 14 month old. Food has ALWAYS been an issue but he would rather starve than eat anything aside from a potato waffle or a chicken nugget. Which ...

My LO is 4.5 months now. She stares at mouths when we eat around her and she stares at food now. She hasn't cut any teeth as yet although she is teething. How do I know when to start giving her vegetable purees?

Morning all- my first achievement of the day is - making a breakfast my daughter has half eaten 😂 for the past 3 days I have been cooking food left right and centre and my daughter has hardly eaten anything- to a point i am started to get worried and considering going to the GP! However - I cut the toast into a…

Does anyone else have a problem getting their toddler to eat meat or any other type of kids foods? I have a 2 yr old son and I can’t get him to eat any type of meat, not even chicken nuggets (which he only ate 2 times. 1 time at daycare and 1 time at home.) He refuses to eat any other foods like Mac n cheese, pizza,...

Hi friends! My 11 mo is still spitting up/puking/whatever at times. He bottle feeds and breast feeds and does BLW with solids. It’s always milk that comes up never food. Is anybody else experiencing this? Is he maybe just taking in too much milk after solids?

I try my best to offer all kinds of food to my son but after 2 bites he's always done or spits it out. Then he only liked eating the food pouches. Recently the last 2 weeks he won't even eat that just a bite and then will spit it out. His doctor told me to keep offering and don't worry but is anyone else going thru ...

We’re getting ready to start our boy on solids (he’s 6m on 24 Sept). He is SO different to his brother who didn’t care and was happy to be spoon and puree fed. How are those doing BLW at this age? Are you doing breakfast lunch and dinner? Is there a good guide online? Not sure how to start with this hungry boy 😂😂

how old is your little one and how much are they eating? my baby’s almost 3 weeks and eating 2 1/2 sometimes 3 oz but i feel like that’s so much 😭 i feel like im over feeding him

I need help Girlies... My baby is 5 months and 2 weeks so i want to start him on little tasters so he can start tasing flavours! I just need help with how and BLW like i am hearing loads of different things like: only give food at breakfast, no food after 3pm, still give bottles but only snacks in between etc…

When can I start giving foods like toasted bread or pancake? Do I need to wait for teeth? Or just dive right in? I’m not afraid of choking etc I’m PFA trained and got the time with sit with baby and wait it out

My son is 1 years old, he sees me eating honey or just sees it and wants to reach for it, he tries to put it in his mouth and I take it away. I would like to let him try it but i don’t know if it’s safe for him to try it yet, can someone please tell me if it’s safe or not for him?

Anyone else’s little one not overly fussed by food?😩 We continue to offer lots, but no where near 2 meals a day yet. We are doing both BLW & purees.

Would you be okay with the provider only providing breakfast to the children and we as parents have to send in their lunch & noon snack? Or do you think the provider should handle all meals or none at all

My LO still isn't showing much interest in food - none at all for solids and limited for purees and things! I'm getting worried!

What are some foods your baby has tried? So far my baby likes waffles (plain), we also do purées so hes had a lot of those but I want him to try some solid fruit and veggies with him! Also if you have any meal inspo lmk! (He’ll probably just eat what we eat but modified)

Anyone else’s baby is really cranky when outside? Especially in restaurants? From the moment I sat her down in the high chair she would want to be held or want to be out. It’s really hard for us to enjoy a meal out as a family of 3. I bring loads of different food and toys for her, and I also order something from th...

Does anyone struggle to get your LO to eat all day. Mine is such a picky eater we basically do a banana at breakfast or yogurt. Lunch is spaghetti of some sort. Sometimes chicken salad. And dinner he gets super fussy not wanting anything until it’s late or nothing at all. I feel bad when I can’t get three meals in. ...

Thinking both mummy and baby getting fed and less dishes 😂 Ours is baked potato beans and cheese my little boy absolutely loves it To be fair my husband would have meat potatoes and beans every night if he could so no shock there 😂 Also loves broccoli but maybe a bit too…

My baby is 9.5months.. At what age do you stop making separate food for baby? Meaning if I’m making spaghetti Bol.. baby can have the same dish as mine supposed to me making another dish without salt ?

Hi, I'm BF my 14 month old and I've had comments from people that he isn't eating enough solids. We eat 3 meals and 1 to 2 snacks per day. Having said that the amount he eats can be quite varied. Sometimes a lot, sometimes not. He's 85th centile so no weight issues. But doesn't sleep through the night and BF minimum...
