Is there anyone else LO experiencing difficulty in bringing food to their mouth? My son seems to have a bit of difficulty in grasping the food. When he finally manages to do so, it seems like he takes quite a while to get the food into his mouth or misses it entirely. Is this something I should be concerned about?...

Toddler surviving off of yogurt and berries? 😅

My lo has started to randomly request a snack during the night, I give her the same thing each time-an oat bar and she goes back to sleep pretty much straight away. It doesn’t happen every night just a couple times a week and only once per night.

My family is semi-crunchy and we honestly have a tight grocery budget.

I want hi...

Hey! How are you weaning your little ones?

Hi guys, my baby is 8 months old and is not really liking solids yet? Like, even if I feed her regular baby food, she starts whining.

Since my baby was 6 months I’ve always had her on purées with a few snacks like melty puffs/sticks, also me feeding her bit of my food from my hands .
