What would you do?

Hey mamas! Okay so staying at my husbands cousins place who has twin 6 yr olds. They were eating pastry and cake and my 2 yr old son wanted a bite and was going to both of them with his mouth open saying “ahh ahh” for one of them to feed him. I felt so sad seeing that … it looked like my son was begging. 😕 and I…

Introducing baby to foods

Early on, around 4 months we were given the go ahead to start introducing foods. At first, baby loved it. She had all sorts of sweet and savory foods and loved it. But we notice as more time passes she is avoiding the savory foods and doesn't want them. She used to veggies but now doesn't want them at all. She only ...

Food amount

For context my little boy was born 31st May so will be 9 months old next week. My little boy has never been a huge fan of drinking his milk. We've struggled with silent reflux, constipation from the gaviscon and lots of reflux and trapped wind...I started weaning him at 6mths (resisted the urge to start earlier!!) a...

Weaning - My baby is 5 months and one week old

He is showing all the signs to start weaning. I have tried broccoli once already a week ago and he had the best time trying it. I’d be keen to start baby lead weaning with large pieces of vegetables he can grab. I know the advice is 6 months. What are everyone’s thoughts?

What does everyone do with their babies after eating?

I'm not sure what to let him do after eating. He doesn't like sitting in his highchair after he's finished eating even with his toys. He just wants to roll around on the floor (6mo) but it's too soon after eating. Not sure what to do

Meals

Mums How much does your little one eat? I keep worrying that my daughter isn’t eating enough, she has a bowl of porridge and a yogurt for breakfast with about 7-8 ounces of cows milk. Then for lunch and dinner she will have around 250 or 300g of food. She always has some fruit too which she always finishes. Is this...

Snacks

Just curious how many snacks your little ones are having per day between meals and what kind of snacks are they having? It seems like my little boy constantly asks for snacks in-between meals but does really well with his meals too, so sometimes it's hard to distinguish when he's actually hungry and when he just wan...

Toddler not eating

My 19 month old has never particularly liked being fed off a spoon but now it’s worse than ever. Breakfast & lunch she’s great and feeds herself well but dinner time has become a nightmare. She pushes the spoon away and screams. If I try to let her feed herself she eats next to nothing then wakes all night due to be...

Weaning at 4 months instead of 6 months

Hi, So, I took my baby to the health visitor feeling like she was ready for weaning. She's having 7oz every 1.5 hours, very unsettled and showing interest in my food. She literally stares at me whilst I eat opening and closing her mouth like a fish. She's 4 months old and the health visitor agreed that she would be...
