Is anyone else still breastfeeding and finds little one prefers boob to food? My little one usually ate well, but he’s been poorly with colds on and off, flu & HFM since November. He’s definitely lost his appetite throughout. He’s seemed to get better this past week however does not want to eat. Today he’s ate a b...

A lot of people keep asking about how to do blw and what sort of meals my baby has, so here's what she had today... wheatabix for breakfast. I made up 1/3rd wheatabix with some milk and she had about 2 spoons worth! Lunch was 2 raspberries, 2 blueberries a bread stick and 2 melty puffs, but she actually just stole ...

I’m running out of dinner ideas for my toddler! She seems to eat the same things every week, I have a 4 month old too and work full time so don’t have a lot of time to make creative meals on a budget.. any ideas?

Every time I make a meal for my toddler he refuses to eat it and spits it out. He was never like this until a month ago? Example now I made some roasted potatoes, carrot, chicken and veggies. He refused to eat it. So I made him plain pasta with cheese and he’s eating it? The only time he eats anything is when it’s a...

Hey my LO is 11 months and I think he’s teething hard, seems to be in pain and calpol isn’t working would you use burden instead? Also he’s refusing to eat any solids would you just keep giving formula?

My toddler is too short to be able to properly reach the table when eating but also doesn't like being in his high chair anymore. Can anyone recommend the best way to help him so we can sit together as a family at the table?

Wasn’t sure on if my LO is eating enough and done some research on google, not sure when to start puree foods as well as formula or when to start? Has anyone else tried it already with a 4month old

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...
