Anyone else is stressed introducing solids to your LO?

My 27 week old had been “eating” baby oatmeal for a month now. Some days she’ll eat a table spoon or so, some a bite. Shea curious about egg, avocado and sweet potato. She just puts them into her mouth more than other things. She’ll eat yogurt but only a little. It gets messy, sometimes she gets it all over her face...

Need advice on how to teach my toddler patience

So I know my toddler doesn't understand but when he wants something like a drink or someone to unlock his tablet as an example he shoves into people's faces and even sometimes throws it at you. Is there a way to teach him to be patient because sometimes it's when im feeding the baby or my hands are full, or even whe...

Lunchbox recommendations

Does anyone have an excellent lunchbox with compartments they’d recommend? We bought a Sistema one in the return to school sales but one of the hinges on it is already broken and it’s really annoying me.

10 month old stopped eating solids

My boy just suddenly stopped eating solids a few days ago and it’s stressing me out! He got on a pretty good routine of having 3 meals a day and he has started either not opening his mouth at all when I try to feed him or storing it all in his mouth then spitting it out. I’ve tried feeding him with utensils and lett...

Did you toddler go from being a pretty good eater to suddenly picky and won’t eat anything unless it’s the stuff she’s familiar with which is not the best 🥲. (Mac and cheese, always eating 1 fruit instead of trying others, etc.)

Went from liking stuff to thinking it’s the worse thing on the planet. Fed her all kinds of stuff that she actually liked and now she refuses if she thinks it’s nasty like what ??? I know she’ll like it too and she just doesn’t want to try it im so frustrated. Today was actually a good day and she ate this chicken t...

Food throwing 🤦‍♀️

How is everyone tackling the food throwing phase? Since my little girl has turned 1 all she does is throw every meal on the floor… I’m starting to get concerned that she isn’t eating enough. If I try and feed her myself she kicks off like crazy, she hates it… yet if I give her food so she can feed herself she takes ...

Feel like a failure

In my 4th month of weaning my daughter, I started this journey when she was 6 months, she’s now 10 months. It’s been a really enjoyable experience so far she’s doing really well with different textures, colours, taste! She gets so happy about trying different foods, makes me happy seeing how much of a foodie she is!...

Is it acceptable to send your baby to nursery having not had breakfast that morning, knowing their nursery provides breakfast

I know this sounds like a silly thing to worry about but my baby starts nursery soon and her nursery provides breakfast, so part of me is wondering whether to just skip her breakfast on the days she goes in to save time? Because I’ll be in such a rush and I’ll already have to wake up extremely early! But also wonder...

Bottles and solids!

For those of you that are now giving solids, how are you working this alongside the bottles? How many bottles are you giving and with how many meals? Has your baby dropped any ounces or even a whole bottle? For some reason my mind has gone completely blank to when I weaned my daughter a few years ago and I just can...

I’ve tried feeding him myself and he’s not engaging with that. If I’m lucky he will feed himself the tiniest bit of food but no way near enough so I’m resulting in giving hi...

Not interested in food

Is it only my baby that has little interest in food? She puts every random thing in her mouth but food she touches with her tongue and throws it away! Purée foods she has a few mouthfuls and not interested. Can someone help me where I am going wrong?! 🫠
