How much puree to give baby

I was feeding my baby today and then I realised when do I know when to stop?? He would have polished the whole bowl of puréed broccoli. I’m worried I may have over fed him.

Snacks

I would love to start weaning LO off the boob but every time she’s hungry or tired she’s at me. I need snack ideas to keep in the changing bag. Ideally shop bought as I’m a mum of 2 and have no time to make snacks on top of everything else. What are your go to snacks?

Suddenly not eating

Is anyone else's LO just not eating? My daughter has always been a great eater and try different foods and has a very varied diet. Over the past couple of weeks it feels like she's surviving a whole day on a bite of a banana and a yogurt.. I dont know what to do. She point blank refuses her meals, even when I know i...

Not interested in weaning

My little one is 6 & 1/2 months old and she doesn’t seem interested in weaning. We have tried with purees snd will have 1 mouthful and then turn her head away and spit it out. Anyone else in the same boat

Lunch ideas?

Looking for any easy lunch ideas for fussy toddlers? We are stuck in the ham sandwich, toast and cheese, and beans on toast rut. She won’t eat eggs, and I occasionally make pancakes (sometimes she’ll eat them, sometimes she won’t). I’ve mostly given up on her food as she’s very fussy, and I’m hoping maybe I can fi...

Child 3 years old under weight and not eating

Hello ladies, I have a friend who’s 3 year old refuses to eat, she has resorted to spoon feeding him but she said he barely eats when she does that either.

Terrible with eating

Feel like my little girl is so behind with her eating. She’ll happily eat fruit and porridge etc but if it’s a meal she just refuses it or throws it off her high chair. She won’t have scrambled eggs, omelette, toast, sandwiches, snacky bits like cheese/ham/cucumber or anything like that 🥲 I keep offering it but…
