My little boy throws himself around and constantly moves his head. He does eat it eventually and he does seem like he’s enjoying it but just trying to keep his attention whilst I’m feeding him is hard work🙈

My baby always shoves a large amount of food into his mouth and gags on things like the heinz biscotti as he puts almost the whole thing in and then it breaks off in his mouth and he doesn't know what to do with it. larger size isn't better for him ie banana we have always broken up into bite size pieces as otherwis...

Do you pack your child a lunch for nursery or do they eat a hot lunch at nursery?

This is my second baby but first time attempting BLW. So our pediatrician said it's okay to offer our baby rice cereal, but I thought with BLW you can skip that and go straight to actual foods, cut appropriately. Which is the right approach or how did you start solids when doing BLW?

I'm so tired of the same old same old. I am 28 weeks pregnant with a 1 year old, so low effort is preferred lol. I'm tired of the usual spaghetti, tacos, soups, ect

My baby is 5 months old and is showing every sign in the book for being ready to start solids . Oh and he is cutting 2 TEETH at the top of his mouth 😭😭 what is the solids schedule ? Like how do I go about starting him on purées then solids ? I feel like my pediatrician never helps me to literally keep my child…

I want to make my baby’s food myself I just don’t know what steamer/blender is the best for that

Hello my nearly 10 month old loved his food ate every meal but past few days just keeps refusing food! Does anyone know what will help? Or will he just start eating when he's ready x

When you make your little one porridge what oat and milk quantities do you tend to use for a single serving? My little girl is now having porridge for breakfast most mornings, I just throw in a random quantity of oats and oat milk until I get the right consistency and then we share it. She’s suddenly dropped down to...

Lunch today for my 2 year old and 8 month old. Creamy tomato soup with some garlic bread. Quick and easy yet super comforting in this cold weather 🥰

I've just started weaning and just wanted to see what others are doing. Are you doing BLW, purees or mixed? If BLW, what kind of finger foods are good for baby to hold. I've tried banana and avocado but too slippery for baby to hold. If purées, are you making your own or using pouches? Also would be grateful if you ...

I’ve noticed my daughter only swallows purées. If I give her things with texture for example toast, eggs, pasta she just keeps it in her mouth and only swallows if I follow it with water. Does anybody else’s baby do this?

My son was 6 months on the 3rd Jan and we started weaning. Doing a mix of bow and purées but he’s just not interested. Any whole food I give him he won’t even bring to his mouth (but everything else goes straight in, toys, muslins, his sisters hands🤦🏼‍♀️). I can just about get a few spoons of purée in but that’s…

To mothers who have had success in introducing solids to their babies, can you please share tips and tricks. I want my baby to enjoy food but I’m afraid I’m going to fail

My almost 8 month old has been on pouches since 5 months. Currently he has half a pouch for breakfast, the other half for dinner and a full pouch for tea. We have offered him solid foods but he refuses to engage with them. I made spaghetti Bolognese cut up small for him and he kept choking and when I offered him mor...
