My son is almost 11 months old and struggling with quick ideas for lunches.. what do you give your babies?

This feels like a stupid question, but when people say they're just giving their baby a bit of whatever they're eating, what kind of foods are you giving them? We mostly eat like one-pot stews and things like veggie chilli or curries. How would you serve that to a baby for them to feed themselves? Give them a spoon...

What weaning bibs are every using? I use the coveralls, and the tray bibs too. My little one still seems to be covered in food after each meal. He needs a full clean and outfit change after every meal.

Hi, just wondering if anyone has advice or any tricks to help with a very sicky baby? Every feed he's being sick and then searching for food constantly. We've tried from boob, expressing and formula feeds to see if this makes a difference but it doesn't. Any hints/advice would be really appreciated 🙏

What dinner/snacks do you pack for your little ones when out and about during the day? Trying to stay off the pouches so much and start packing up a dinner now they are finger food eating more Thank you!

So I explained to the nursery where my little boy will be going in a week😫 that he isn’t fully BLW but he still has toast and sausage and mash and some fruit that is puréed. But he doesn’t have three set meals a day. It’s more breakfast and then yoghurts or melts sticks. And they just kept asking me if he’s had…

Ideas welcome For adults and the baby Small gathering at home Thank you

My 8mo refuses to eat any food. I’ve tried spoon feeding and finger food, nothing goes in. Sometimes he won’t even pick up the food. If he does get something in his mouth, he pulls the face like it tastes bad gags and spits it out. We know he has a dairy intolerance so we’re avoiding that, but it doesn’t seem to mat...

I have no idea if weaning is going “well” or not 🤷‍♀️😂 We’ve done 3 weeks but wow what a mess my lg makes 😳 she doesn’t really hold and eat anything herself, she holds it and waves it around and licks it but doesn’t actually really “eat” any. Except banana it always ends up on the floor so I don’t understand how to…

I just gave birth 3/11/25 and my son eats every two hours and he eats about 3 ounces we think. He’ll eat from me on both sides then sometimes a bottle afterwards because I think he sucks me dry. Is there any tips or tricks that aren’t the common or bad food ones😅

Best app to record feeding times

Is anyone else's toddler not eating. My daughter was going through this phase each time she was teething and then she started eating really well and now all of a sudden she's back to the same thing. I don't see signs of teething so idk if it's just a normal thing that happens with toddlers or if it's just her. She'l...

So I’m looking for snacks to eat that can help increase my milk supply and stash for when I pump as I plan on going back to work at the end of April (24th). I only ever get one good pump a day though I try pumping 3 times a day. If anyone can give me any recommendations I would appreciate it. I’m not allergic to any...

Hi there! My boy would eat everything and for the past few weeks it’s been hard to get him to eat dinner. He’s only been drinking his milk and he’ll eat his snacks throughout the day like string cheese, crackers etc. but when it comes to dinner he’s not interested. Is this normal?

Any 14 month old babies suddenly eating less? She was doing good and now she’s just barely eating. I got used to her eating a lot and wanting food but now she’s just like not interested in eating right now

My 1yr old boy is having major food obsession, idk if it’s appropriate to call it aggression or anxiety or what to call it. But anytime I have a snack or food or even a drink in front of me he is immediately ALLL over it, trying to climb up to get it, once he realizes he isn’t getting any or I tell him no then he wi...

I’m not sure if I’m being too hard on myself, but I am absolutely terrified of starting my almost 8M old on solids. Tonight I tried to smash a banana & give him small pieces. He gagged which I know is part of learning to swallow, but it was followed by excessive drooling and that’s the part that made me completely s...

My son will be 2 in July, and he has always been a GREAT eater. The only thing up until now he hasn’t really liked is beans. He’s always eaten all his fruits and veggies without complaint, and veggies are often the first thing on his plate he’ll eat. Within the last couple weeks, fruits and veggies apparently disgus...

I need help with weaning my 16-month-old. I've tried going cold turkey a couple of times to no avail. He feeds throughout the night and I'm exhausted. He also still feeds on demand l, I tried to cut his morning feed out but he will not eat until I feed him. He also pulls on the top or put his hands down my blouse wh...

Weird one..... I think my little lady hates the bumbo chair, possibly the high chair too and will keep her mouth closed near enough the whole time and will make sure everything flies off the table so she doesn't have to eat it and then tries to lift herself out. If I hold her on my hip and feed her like that she is...
