My sister in law is getting induced in 3 days so that means prepping her freezer for baby! I’m so happy I can do this for her so she can focus on baby instead of making food for the family! I love her so much. She has two toddlers so there’s a lot of hidden veggies to keep the tantrums to a minimum. 💕

It is alright to give a pinch of salt preferably pink salt just to make baby eat more. My lo seems to be rejecting everything but with hint of salt is happily eating.

I’ve been terrified of BLW. I give my son purées still. I give him teething biscuits and puffs and sometimes he gags and throws up with the puffs. My question is how do you handle the gagging and throwing up? Once they throw up do you continue feeding them or do you stop? I’ve tried once I while to give him s...
