loss of appetite after injections

my little boy had his 1 year injections 3 weeks ago now and still hasn’t got his appetite back since having them. He was mostly on formula still as is a bit weird with food but is currently having less than 10 oz a day and still only eating a few mouthfuls of food a day? Has anyone else had anything similar happen

Rant - husband doing bare minimum

I asked the husband (rare occasion) to feed LG dinner, I prepped the food and handed it to him whilst I cook. He gave her a few spoonfuls and gave up as she was refusing. When I'd asked how he fed her, he hasn't put her in her highchair (which she's used to and knows its mealtime) and he was feeding her in his lap...

Baby food

We’ve been taking it quite slow with introducing different textures of food while BLW . I have left rice and pasta last because I have no clue where to start. How did you introduce them to baby?

Transitioning to foods?

Hi moms! My (FTM here) little one is 5 months old so I was thinking about starting to introduce foods but I’m feeling completely lost and a bit nervous on how to go about doing this? Our pediatrician okayed starting to introduce foods in a 1 new food every 3-5 days ratio. I was just wondering how some of you are goi...

Will you ask nursery….

Would you ask nursery if your lo always returns home without her cutlery in her lunch bag? I feel it’s weird to ask them lol Someone might say it’s just a cutlery just get them another 😁 Opinions are welcomed TIA

Dinner time

Hi everyone! For those whose LO’s are at nursery during the day and eat a lot, what do you do for dinner times? My LO eats his lunch at midday and then a tea at around 4, I try to then make a normal dinner at around half 5 but I am finding he rarely eats/throws it on the floor 🫠 So wonder if I should just do snacky…

Any of you attempted to make chicken nuggets?

My nieces were over and they’re big fans of oven dinners, so when their mum made them some chicken nuggets my LO snatched a few lol. I’d love to give her these oven dinners but the salt content just KILLS me. Their tiny bodies aren’t ready for it yet (she’s 15 months old). Wise to attempt to make my own? If so, do y...

Baby not telling me she's hungry

My LO attempts 3 meals a day. Breakfast is an absolute yes, lunch is meh and dinner it depends on mood and what's being served. Today she napped late so she was woken at 1 and we were going to eat out. Barely any milk since 10ish, and refused lunch but had 2 melt sticks. Got home barely any milk but I could hear he...

When did you start sharing spicy foods with baby?

Everyone tells me to give my 9 mo bits of my food so she can explore different tastes. The problem is, I love spicy food and so that's half of what I eat. Thai curry and Buffalo wings, pickled Jalapeños straight from the jar, and basically everything coated in my favorite hot sauce. Obviously I'd take a lower spice ...

What time do your little ones eat?

I currently give my daughter breakfast at 08:00 (she stopped wanting her milk first, and eats really well at breakfast time. Then she has lunch at 11:30/12 And a bottle after this as she usually doesn’t do very well with food. Then has dinner at 4:00/4:30.. and again doesn’t do very well most of the time. She h...
