Our LO is 6 months and she seems to hate food. She just cries when offered any food - BLW or spoon feeding. Anyone else had this? Wondering if she is just not yet ready for food!

Hi all I'm rrally struggling with introducing real solids. My baby has chunky purees but I really want to move onto foods he can hold but I'm struggling with the choking aspect. He had toast about a month ago and had it fine one day but the next he bit the whole toast finger off and tried to swallow it. He was silen...

My little one is 1 in 2 weeks and I feel like we have the same things every day for lunch. I want to try and mix it up a bit. Please can I have some inspiration. Thank you

What’s the best milk to put my girl on now she 1year old? She has a milk allergy and the health visitor told me to start putting her on normal milk but cows milk has made her poorly🙃🙃

Are anyone’s April babies on 3 meals a day? If so, how are you fitting it all in😅I’ve just upped my LG’s to 2 and I’m finding that difficult to fit in with her bottles so that she is hungry enough to eat some solids. Surely it’s not time to drop a bottle already? She drinks between 28-32oz during the day, for context.

What yogurt do you give your little ones either cmpa? Will coconut yogurt have too much sugar in? Are there baby friendly ones?

I’m so excited to get my baby girl started on solids soon! What food are you starting with? Are you doing BLW, spoon-feeding, or combination feeding? Any must haves I should order beforehand? Would love to hear all about your experiences!

Is it okay to cook frozen veg for my baby or does it have to be fresh?

Just curious doctor said we could start giving him some and to give him same one for 5 days to make sure there isn't a reaction to food

My LO is on purées at the moment and feeds himself (well tries to) and doesn’t like it when we try to feed him. Not sure if this is fairly normal? With your LOs, are you putting their plate/bowl in front of them? I’ve seen BLW videos and there doing this, but my boy puts his whole face in the bowl. We’re therefore k...

Anyone recommend any storage containers for the freezer? We are getting ready to start solids in January and looking at suitable pots / trays or similar that is good for freezer?

When have yall started solids? I feel like mine is almost ready but I’m not sure and I also don’t know where to start. He watches me eat and he can mostly support himself sitting but he has no teeth. I don’t know if teeth are a requirement or what but I’ve heard lots of conflicting things like starting with bone bro...

We’ve tried bananas and sweet potatoes and she didn’t like either. We gave her the sweet potatoes about an hours ago and she’s thrown up a bit twice after. The amount is like spit up. Is this normal? Any ideas of how to get her to like food?

He is a confident chewer and if it’s a healthy choice even better. I am looking for light snack ideas I can just grab and give.

Once my baby turns one (Christmas Eve) her daycares nutrition requirements change. She’ll only have one month to wean completely off formula (at least while at daycare) and fully transition to solid foods no more purées. She’s having about 30 oz of formula a day still, along with 1-2 jars of purées and eggs and toas...

I can’t get LO in high chair anymore, can’t get him to sit at the table, nothing. When I finally do get him strapped in he just cries the whole time. It’s become the biggest fight and the most difficult part of my day. Please give me some tips. I feel like I’ve tried just about everything at this point to get some f...

Anyone else’s toddler obsessed with always having to hold stuff in his hands? Even the most randomest items

This may sound silly but I’m starting to wean my 5 month old, she is on CMPA milk Nutramigen & she doesn’t seem to like it mixed in with food which is totally understandable 🤣 I was just curious as to when she could try milk such as almond or oat milk? Would it still be around 12months like if she was going to have…

Okey moms with picky eaters come to the front! Lol my 4yo son is so picky with foods he will hardly eat at school 😒 he gets free lunch and I send him snacks.
