Hi all In need of some advice as I don’t know if I’m doing this weaning thing all wrong or not!!!!

We have been weaning our 6 month old for 3 weeks now and she barely touches her purées. At most a tiny mouthful. I have been trying different veg purées and fruit purées. My book says to do 2 meals a day. Not sure whether to just keep offering the same food or whether to try ready brek or something. Any ideas?

So my baby is 8 months and I’m worried about some of her milestones. She’s not really interested in food just yet.. and when she does eat she rather use her mouth rather than her hands. Does anyone else experience this?

Every hour.... Nack please mummy?!? Nack?!?!? Me have Nack now?!?! 😂😂 What do you give for snacks? She eats alot of fruit, but I worry about too much sugar. Sometimes I give a cream cracker, a couple of breadsticks, a handful of quavers. What do you all give for snacks?

My husband tells me that he's mentioning on pick up to please not give her these things but then it ...

Hello ! My son is 18 months old. Trying to figure out what he likes to eat and making sure he gets healthy foods has been tough. I served him the Happy Tot ravioli meal, and he loved it!
