My little girl is nearly 8months old and is not interested in food I have been trying but she just cries and turns her head away will she naturally start wanting food like I don’t know and my health visitor is useless

My ebf baby is on a sleep regression but every time she wakes she seems starving. I really don’t want to give her formula, we’ve come this far and I’m yet to find one without unpronounceable ingredients. Has anyone started solids yet? Does it help with sleep? She’s 20 weeks.

My little girls not long turned 6 months BLW been going well the last week or so but she won't give any orange veg a chance and just plays with it for a minute or two then wants out the highchair is this normal ? Because my first baby was a dustbin and would eat anything I gave her to eat

I know I’m not supposed to start solids till 6 months. LO is 5 months and I’m considering putting some baby oatmeal in the bottle maybe in a few weeks idk. I’m very drained, the eating every 45 minutes, the pumping not stop. Just all of it, hoping it will keep him full a little longer because I am running out of en...

My 3.5 year old has never been a huge meat eater - admittedly I’m not and have never been. I usually only eat chicken or turkey. But my toddler I want her to at least try it once. She will literally only have prawns and mince (if in a spag bowl). Other than that the only way I can get her to eat meat is if I blend i...

Mainly a fork? Or Spoon 🥄

My baby girl turned 10 months on the 17th and we just had a 2nd weight check appointment as she has been losing weight and dropping on her growth chart 😭😭 she doesn’t eat anything, i offer her everything and she just shakes her head, she used to eat more when she was like 5-6 months. Anyone else struggling with…

Any recommendations for great freezable meals for postpartum??

LO is currently going through a fussy eating phase which I know is perfectly normal. What’s best to do in this situation? If he refuses all meals offered and asks for a snack instead should I give him one? Obviously I want him to eat something but also don’t want him to think that he can just have a snack instead of...

When are you guys gonna start? My baby’s already taking an interest in food. She licks her lips when she sees food in front of her 😂

My LB is just over 7mths and we've been weaning for nearly 2mths now! He was doing great at the start but now he's refusing everything!! Even the stuff we know he loves! We think he's teething at the moment but didn't think it would cause this much disruption with his food.. Any help or advice would be much apprecia...

My baby just isn’t interested in purée she just wants milk. Do I need to keep trying every day? I just don’t see the point because she just turns her nose up and won’t eat it I’m not sure what to do

When did you start introducing salt into babies meals. Its been really hard having to separate food for baby instead of just giving him what we are eating.

Chicken meatballs, egg fried rice and cucumber. (Hoisin and ketchup for toddler)

Does anyone else baby seem bored of drinking milk? My daughter is 13weeks and starts doing 'hungry face' and gets upset when she smells food cooking or sees us eating, like she feels she's missing out, even if she's just finished a feed and was content before. I know you're supposed to introduce solids at 6months b...

My lil boy we started weening at 4 month with doctors advice, he lived his foods ate most things I made most things from scratch for him, the older he is getting the worse he is at eating I'm struggling so much we have already seen the health visitor when I was concerned about his weight, and he managed to put weigh...

Obviously food that is suitable

My little one turns 10 months next week. He’s only really eating small amounts. I’d say the size of his fist at meal times. Not sure how to get him to eat a little more, anyone got any ideas? Also anyone recommended a silicone plate/bowl that actually suctions. All the ones I get up end up on the floor 🤦‍♀️

Looking for new meal ideas Generally baby eats what we eat but wondering what everyone else is feeding their little ones. We do BLW

My son does not like drinking cows milk, eating cheese or yogurts. I’m still breastfeeding him but I know my supply is very low so I’m not sure what to do. Any other mom’s experiencing this? I have to find other ways to increase his calcium/vit d
