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!

Starting Solids/purees

My baby is currently 5m , he turns 6m this 18th . I want to know if you guys waited until your baby had proper head balance or until they knew how to sit by themselves? My baby can pick up his head but doesn’t know how to sit and still falls when i try to sit him in bed . I’ve seen a mom on TikTok where her baby is ...

So stressed SOS

I literally want to cry. My baby is almost 11 months old and refuses everything. He only wants his formula bottles. I feel like I’ve tried everything. I will say he’ll nibble on a ritz cracker keep coming back for a popsicle but that’s about it. He will not eat ANY puréed combination. I try giving him anything I’m...

LO doesn’t like fruit 🍒🍓🍇

Does anyone else’s LO not like fruit? I feel like all I ever see is people saying their toddler eats so much fruit yet my LO won’t touch it. It’s like she hates the texture 😂 I’ve tried every one and regular enough but she just isn’t bothered. She will eat the fruit pouches and fruity snacks 🤷🏼‍♀️ It would just…

The level of defeat i feel with my daughter barely eating anything I put in front of her is out of this world. She used to eat everything. The past couple weeks especially have been incredibly rough.

She’s not really eaten for the last couple of days, we offer her food and she has two mouthfuls and then cries like she hates it.

Offering purees before mik

My LO is 8 months old and the whole process of slowly weaning baby off milk is so confusing. Right now we still do the same amount of milk she's always gotten but have added 2oz purees twice a day on top of her milk but I'm wondering when we should start decreasing her milk intake. I've been told if I start introduc...

Refusing to eat

Any one else struggling with their toddler not eating? It doesn’t matter what I put in front of her, she won’t eat it. I gave her one of her favorite meals for lunch and she just stared at it. This has been an ongoing thing for months and I’m almost to my breaking point. All she wants to do is drink milk, she ...

Slow to start solids

My baby is over 10 months, and we’ve explored all versions of solids. He just really isn’t interested! We’ve tried reducing his formula intake to make room in his tummy for snacks, but that didn’t go over well either. He thinks food is fun to play with lol… Anyone relate?

Can they eat anything now? 😅

Now the babies are all over 1yr old, is there anything they can’t eat? Is it ok to give them crisps? My husband just gave my son a packet of wotsits and that’s never happened before. He ate the whole packet and I’m worried it’s a bad thing? Is there any food off limits? I know everything in moderation but anything...
