Using utensils

How good are they supposed to be at this age? My LB still enjoys using hands over spoons etc. He is good with the spoon, scooping things by himself and then bring to his mouth. But he then somehow turns the spoon as it enters his mouth and most of the contents falls off 🙃 I show him every mealtime. I guide his…

BLW - how to?

So, when the baby is done throwing all the food on the floor and it’s all over his hands and legs, what do you guys do? End up actually feeding the baby? Clean up and call it a day? In all seriousness, he’s 10 months and doesn’t put a single thing in his mouth. I’ve been feeding him so far so I get it that it’ll t...

Weaning and milk!

Looking for advice on how much food to give vs milk! What are you all doing? Baby is ebf and has taken to solids really well but obviously the more food he has, the less milk he drinks. I know milk is the main form of nutrition until 12 months but the advice from NHS is to be on 3 meals a day by 10 months and other...

Weaning - feeling like a failure!

My 6 month baby is refusing any foods, goes tight lipped and turns their head away. This includes if I try to show them how to use a straw cup/open cup for water. I’m really worried as they’ve not had water at all due to refusing and I’ve kept trying for nearly 2 weeks and still no luck so starting to panic! We’re...

Tips for getting fluid into toddlers

He had a vomiting bug last Monday/tuesday and then went straight into teething the rest of the week & has had 3 teeth break through the gum in the past few days so has been completely off food and drink.

Grandparent problems 🙃

I don’t know if this is a rant or a plea for help at this point 😂 First issue we have is my MIL plays favourites massively with my 2. It’s not even a discreet amount. She only wants my girl to stay round hers, only wants to take her out, buys her gifts every time she sees her and my little boy doesn’t get the…

Not eating much

Is anyone else worrying about how little their LO eats? My boy has been a brilliant eater since we weaned him he’s been eating 3 full meals a day plus snacks and he just eats what I eat (unless it’s too spicy or unhealthy) But recently; the last few weeks, he’s barely eating anything! I know people say it’s normal ...

How to feed baby AND myself

I work full time, my partner just had major surgery, and we have twins. I'm exhausted, and I'm having trouble getting myself to cook anything.

Weaning to solids

Need some advice! I’ve been giving my baby purée since he was 4 months and he’s obsessed and ended up wanting that so much more than milk, I ended up making my own purée because of how much of it he was going through. However he is now 6 months old so I have started blending the veggies less so there are more chunks...
