Eating

I wish I could put anything in front of my toddler and he just eat it. Breakfast used to be good now it's just him saying no to everything that is offered.

Anybody else’s kid eat like a grown man?

My sis in law was babysitting for me yesterday and was astonished by the amount of food my tiny girl can put away. She’s very tall but honestly, she doesn’t look the amount she eats lol. She said none of her kids could have ever had a portion my LG has & was so gobsmacked. Not in a bad way, I think she was so confus...

Food

Anyone else’s toddler loves fish? I can’t eat any around him without him stealing some, but he won’t touch mash potatoes. By stealing I mean willingly giving my food to him because he’s adorable 🥰

Weaning

Hows everyone getting on with weaning if started? This is my second week with purées using Ella’s kitchen book and feel like she’s just not interested 🙄 has a teaspoon or a little more then just spits it out everywhere. Is this normal ?

My little boy is CONSTANTLY saying he is hungry and asking for food

Anyone got any advice on how to deal with this? It’s mainly in the mornings after he has his breakfast. I really don’t think he is hungry as he has a big bowl of cereal followed by toast. He is constantly following me into the kitchen and saying he is hungry. There’s only so many healthy snacks I can offer him🙈…

Not wanting to eat

So my little one is 9 months old started to do really well with eating. But the last few weeks is just refusing to eat food, won’t let me spoon feed but he never has, so we do BLW. He will put food to mouth but not always in his mouth and then when he does he just won’t swallow it. Help!
