Looking for clean cereal recommendations so my toddler can start eating his cereal in a bowl.

How do I get my baby to take to other food? We’ve recently started weaning and her first food was bananas. I feel like she’s declining other food as it’s not as sweet as banana. How do I get her to try other food?

Pretty please can everyone tell me what they give their little ones for lunch? Baby girls not massiveee on BLW but trying to improve this and just fed up of mashed avocados on toast🤣 Thankyou!!!🤍

My SIL was kind enough to babysit for me & she was giving my LO squash instead of water lol. I’m not mad at it bc hey, my LO never had squash before but now it seems like she prefers that over plain water. I’m not fully against her having some squash, I’d like a balance of water and some sweetened drinks, but do you...

How are you all serving the food you have to baby? I started on purées and added finger foods in at 8 months. He now has toast, chips, roasted veg etc. but always with a puréed meal such as spag Bol, curry, chilli. I’m wanting to start serving it more as we have it but I’m worried about pieces of onion and small str...

I’m starting to really worry, we have a pediatrician appointment soon and I will be bringing this up but just looking to hear that this is normal and looking for solidarity!

Anyone else’s baby suddenly refusing food they usually would enjoy or eat a decent amount of?

Okay my kid used to be a crazy good eater!!! He’s 18 months he used to eat everything he seen! Now I have to put food on the floor ( on a plate) and he will pick at it. He just doesn’t wanna eat anymore UNLESS it’s bread. It’s so weird to me! I don’t understand why his appetite has tanked. He will obviously still ...

My LO is 2. He struggles to eat and only wants to be breastfed, even throughout the night. He got 2 cavities because of this.

For those doing BLW what might a typical day of food look like for your little ones? We do lots of finger food, curious for ideas but also to get a gauge on volumes. TIA

My little one is 1 tomorrow. She was amazing at eating and would try anything. However, the last 2 weeks or so, she's become incredibly fussy. Won't try anything new, won't eat anything she used to like. All she wants is snacks or toast.. it's driving me mad. For her dinner I'm buying Sainsburys baby ready meal bo...

I know food is for fun before the age of 1 but my little boy is showing no signs of being interested any time soon. He has just turned 7 months. Some days he opens his mouth slightly and has a few mouthfalls and then refuses to open it and other days he point blank refuses to open it at all. I’ve tried to give him f...

Has anyone started weaning their little one yet? If so what are you giving them? My little one just turned 4 months and looking into giving her porridge and pouches that are suitable for 4 months+

Does anyone have any tips on how to deal with their toddlers refusing meals? It’s become breakfast, dinner and tea, we even let her choose what she would like yet when it comes to eating it, she pushes the plate away and flat out refuses. We’ve tried offering nothing else until she eats but makes no difference, but ...
