My son won't eat anything other then toast

Toast with lurpak melts in his mouth. The only thing he eats is. Are there any suggestions on what else I can introduce to him that is a similar vibe and will melt in mouth except yoghurt? He won't eat puree foods either.

Do babies stop eating randomly?

Today my baby turned 17 weeks and he was eating 6oz per feeding and heā€™s been struggling to eat even 3oz. Sometimes he can finish it but it takes us about an HOUR or longer. My mom says its normal but it makes me feel something that he is not eating :(

Food help??

Doesnā€™t matter if itā€™s something I know he likes or something new LO is refusing all types of food!! What am I suppose to do. All I keep hearing is he will eat when heā€™s hungry.. well he must never be hungry because he eats nothing and when he does itā€™s 2-3 spoonfuls šŸ˜©

Hungry baby

My first born was a complete boob monster & wasnā€™t really interested in food when we started weaning. But my almost 7 month old is absolutely loving eating. I didnā€™t want to rush it, but whenever Iā€™m eating he cries because he wants it. So I have started giving him a small amount of food every time I eat. He is defi...

Am I wrong for feeling this way? Long story/rant

Okay so my BD and I are trying to figure out life together. Itā€™s a been long rocky road for us. I thought when we found out we were pregnant heā€™d grow up and stop being selfish. Iā€™ve had an eating disorder for the past 4 years (itā€™s still off and on) so itā€™s very DIFFICULT for me to have a comfort food/snack. Part o...

What to do

What do you do if your child is just refusing food? Wonā€™t eat meals unless itā€™s nuggets, sausage, hotdog etc. even refusing past that he normally eats. Itā€™s really getting to me and I know that if he doesnā€™t eat he wonā€™t sleep at night. He just point blank refuses. Heā€™ll eat snacks fine and eats fruit, has gone off ...
