He could eat a full sized dinner and dessert (like a banana)...

For those of you doing BLW, what do you do with cereal like Weetabix? Do you let them feed themselves, spoon-feeding them, preloading spoons?

Hi all! Looking for advice regarding weaning - Tried doing research but it's all so conflicting. My HV has said our little boy (4 months currently) will be weaned early due to being high percentile... and has been obsessed with watching us eat from 3 months... which he is now getting frustrated like "Where's mine?!"...

Anybody else’s toddler suddenly hates eating? My LG wasn’t a bad water, a bit picky but not bad and suddenly even her favourite dinners, lunches even breakfasts are a no.

Hello, I’m trying to get my head around weaning as I will be going back to work at the same time so want it to be as simple as possible 😅 From my research my understanding is that baby eats what we eat & we all sit and eat together. Does it matter what meal it is or what they eat? Does anyone have any tips on how…

Does anyone know of any special desserts you can buy for our little ones? My boy just usually has fruit but I’d like to give him a more special dessert on Christmas Day. He’s dairy free. Thanks!! X
