My son lives anything tactile/sensory play and I've thought about trying some play doh but I'm afraid he will try eating it 🤮

What's the earliest I can start my baby on super blended fruits, purees, yogurts, broths? No solids, just almost liquid foods. He's only a month so ik ive got some time but still wondering.

I’m having major anxiety about starting solids with my baby. He’s 6 months and I know he’s ready for and needs more than just milk but I’m terrified he’s going to have an allergic reaction to anything we give him. I planned to start with sweet potatoes but after doing some research I found out that sweet potato reac...

What's everyone feeding their wee ones at brekky? I feel like I feed him the same stuff all the time and wanna shake it up a bit. At the moment he'll have scrambled eggs with toast, porridge, avocado on toast, weetabix or has tried shreddies a couple of times.

Looking for some recommendations! Our kids daycare told us that our kids want to try the other kids juice boxes and dont understand why they don’t get them at snack time. We don’t want to start giving them juice yet (they are 18 months) but I feel bad that they feel left out. We let them drink coconut water at home ...

What's the best food to give your 8 month old as finger food ?

Reaaaally losing the will with weaning!! We have tried a mixture of BLW and puréed, we eat when he eats at the table and we still struggle to get him to eat. We’ve tried different textures and temperatures and he still clamps his mouth shut. We’ve tried homemade and pouches. He really took a liking to porridge (...

I need Mel’s ideas that are quick for me to prep and easy to reheat for my son. The people watching my child for me after school cannot cook so he’s stuck eating noodles and packet pasta every single day if I don’t prep stuff😭 Were pescatarian but most recipes I can tweak easily, I just need healthy stuff that’s…

When can toddlers try chocolate? I didn’t know it has caffeine until now so I wonder when can they, at least, try it?

Anyone’s babies still not taken to weaning? My boy is 9.5 months old and eats barely anything. Everything goes on the floor and doesn’t want to be spoon fed, ughhhhh.

Baby is 8 months old and will NOT eat food! I feel like everyone else's kiddos are eating pretty consistently. We have tried just about everything and it's all a no go. He might have a little of something one day and then won't touch it again. I have him try food at least 2X a day. The only thing he will eat that ac...
