LO is 6 months and we’ve just started weaning on purées. So far, he loves the food we’re offering and keeps opening his mouth for more but he keeps crying during the meal! The only time he doesn’t cry is when he can see there is a spoonful of food about to go in his mouth. Surely he’s not crying because he wants mo...

Is anyone else’s toddler refusing meals but wanting to snack all day 🫠 event he foods he used to eat he turns his nose up at. SOS 🤣

How do people get their baby to eat soft foods like porridge which need to be on a spoon? My LO refuses to be spoon fed. We load the spoon up for him but he usually just waves it around before putting it in his mouth and the food comes off

I am looking for some ideas for breakfast and lunch for my 2 year old girl. She's been okay with food, but lately, she's very fussy. Her usual meals are potatoes in crispy form, plain pasta, bread but without butter or anything on it, not even toast. She doesn't like meat as well. She used to love sausages, ham or h...

Anyone elses diet vastly improving while blw 😂 If he's having egg yolks best believe I'm eating an egg white omelette If he's having steamed broccoli we both are bud 😂 Never eaten celery sticks in my life but we're both teething now 😂 Thinking of baby safe banana pancakes for dinner tonight 😂

What are you giving your babies to test for gluten allergy? I do purées for now and am so nervous to try our toast. Should I purée pasta or toast? Sounds unappealing lol

My baby started nursery last week. He has been very upset, what I think it’s normal but what worries me more is that he’s not eating there. At home he eats very well, 3 whole meals plus loads of snacks. I don’t know what to do. Does it get any better? Any successful story or any advice? Thanks ❤️

Anyone else getting frustrated with BLW? My girl has loads of different textures and will put food to her mouth most of the time. But whenever it’s finger foods she won’t eat it. I know food before 1 is just for fun, but I’m also trying to fill her up 🤣 I did her a bowl of pasta bolognese yesterday and she…

Any mamas struggling to get toddler to eat meals and worried about their weight as result? haven’t had his 2 year health check yet (he’s 25 months), but my boy is only just on the 2 stone and worried he’s too small as he’s also quite tall but also just been through a growth spurt which I think can cause them to be q...

Baby is 6m and have been doing purées once a day for a few wks (due to reflux) she doesn’t know how to open her mouth properly so I tried BLW and doesn’t even try to explore or eat it. Help! Will she ever eat??! She’s 7m soon

Hi all. I suspect my 10 week old has a CMPA, he is 10 weeks old but I have thought this since he was a few weeks old (was told I was being ridiculous). He’s exclusively breast fed, granted his symptoms are very mild really, he had some mucus in stools occasionally, alot of gas and gets small patches of spotty skin. ...

Who’s LO is not eating 3 times a day? I feel like a terrible mother. When I make her something, she does not eat she will just cry or throw it on the floor. However, if anyone is eating around her and you feed her some she might have about 4-5 bites. I have even tried to trick her and placed her food on a tray prete...

Hi all, my baby was born prem 6 weeks early on 24th May. She is now 9 months. She has two front teeth and when eating she doesn’t chew she bites and swallows. I’ve had two choking incidents and since then I’ve been hesitant to give finger food or anything that’s not mashed into puree. It says online we should stop p...

So my daughter is six months old her pediatrician said we could start solids at four months. She was good to go so we started she loved them. She loves everything we’ve given her and now she’s six months and she wants nothing to do with baby food now if you were to sit there and set some chicken nuggets or something...

Hi! I'm struggling to figure out what to pack my 10 month old for lunch at day care. He's grown out of purees (or at least a puree doesn't seem like enough), but day care is very picky about what he can have. I tried a Gerber pasta stars thing but they said he can't have peas that aren't crushed up. What do you guys...

Celery ?! tortilla chips my child has theee teeth , mamas who have babies in daycare is this a normal Menu should I raise concern...

I’m trying to prepare for weaning in the next couple of weeks but it just seems like a minefield! I’ve heard the solid starts app is good so I’m going to sign up for that but everything I read conflicts each other. What time of day do I first feed baby? Do I start with baby rice/ cereal or veg? When do I increase...

My boy will be 6 months in 2 weeks and I’m feeling totally overwhelmed about where to start with weaning, have anxiety at the thought of him choking and haven’t even tried anything yet. Where do you start?

At all. None whatsoever. He will only eat more or less freezer food. I HATE…
