We don't give our 14month old chocolate normally however at easter would like to give her a little taste. She only has 6 teeth currently. She has CMPA. What chocolate egg/chocolate would you recommend that's not too hard for her. We have asked relatives to get her books but we felt a little taste might be nice for her.

if your baby doesn't like a certain food? Avoid or keep trying? My girl doesn't like 🍌 🍌 🍌

hey! my bubba is 6months and we have been weaning for a few weeks now. She’s showing no interest in anything really, the only thing she’ll happily eat is banana porridge or she’ll suck on some of those melt in your mouth things. Whenever i try with anything else she just refuses to open her mouth after the first bit...

So I did a quick stock up of fruit yogurts, soft cheese, smoothies and yogurts for my little girl! When I got home last night I totally forgot to put it in the fridge! I woke up this morning and remembered. Will all this be ok or waste?

Got wheatabix and porridge sachets for breakfast She like pasta, sunday dinner and cauliflower cheese so far for lunch in adult type foods I give her a baby pudding And 10oz of regular milk Just want to know what's safe in adult foods that she can try, she only properly started weaning at 9 months due to throwing...

How did you guys get over the fear of giving baby solids? I’m just so nervous about chocking when feeding when I know she needs to eat solids. Any advice?

I have a question ladies. When did you move your kids to bigger solids? My daughter is almost 7 months old now and I wanted to know when I could start feeding her different solids like eggs or bread, etc. She’s had the purées, but I’m scared to give her anything else and I don’t exactly know when I should.

How are we getting our little ones to stop eating throwing their food?? My son keeps throwing food on the floor and than getting super happy when the dogs come to grab it. But because of that he’s almost not eating now 😭😵‍💫 I’ve told him no, no we don’t throw. And i continue to do that. I’ve taken his food away…

Hi, Do you all count calories that your baby consumed to make sure they’re reaching the daily goal? I am losing my mind trying to get my boy to eat as much as he’s “supposed” to throughout the day and it’s really taking a toll on my mental health! He consumes 20 oz whole milk per day (sometimes an oz or two more, s...

Is it bad that I prefer to spoon feed my baby rather than do blw? I’ve tried but she just doesn’t seem interested. I’m worried she’ll end up missing out on skills that come with blw. At least I know she’s definitely eating what I give her.

I provide food for my daughter when she is at her childminders and it is always a variation of this. The bottom layer may be things like a sandwich, pin wheels or fritatta but rarely anything else, and always with cucumber sticks/olives/cherry tomatos. Middle is always fruit, and then bread sticks/malt loaf/crackers...

Hey, is anyone else’s baby refusing to eat meat? She likes fish but refuses meat and gags before it’s even near her mouth. I’ve tried chicken, lamb, pork and beef and she doesn’t like any of it. Tried blending it too incase it’s the texture but still won’t eat. Curious to see if anyone else is having similar or how ...

We currently use NumNum spoons but we're thinking of transitioning to toddler cutlery. Does anyone have ones they'd really recommend?

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.

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?

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...

How many times should we be offering purées and/or solid food a day? (BLW) He drinks 25-30 oz of formula a day and we offer once a day but should we be doing more?

Hi mommies! Can’t believe our babies are turning 6 months this month 😭 how the time has passed 😮‍💨 baby girl is officially starting solids, I’m a FTM so if you all have any baby food recipes recommendations, let me know!

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

Hi all! I’m going to be away with baby for 2 nights, 3 days staying in a hotel. When we’ve been away previously, baby has had puree foods but now she refuses to eat unless it’s finger food haha.
