First time mum here & my LO is nearly 9 months…..food size they keep saying pincher grasp but how do I know when this has happened?

I know there’s been research to say baby led weaning is the way forward and when my LO was between 6-12 months I embraced it fully. Now he’s 3 he’s a terrible eater. He always wants to use his hands, plays with his food, rarely likes everything i offer from one day to the next so rarely finishes a meal and no joke...

I wonder if I started my baby with puréed food too early. He is not fully sitting yet but he does sit in a bouce chair and when I feed him with baby cereal mixed with his formula he likes it a lot. He is not choking or anything… what are the thoughts on this?

We’ve just moved onto BLW after purées. My baby’s has loved finger food like melts sticks. Any solids we give him at the minute for finger food he’s biting then spitting out. Any ideas?

Hi Baby is now on 3 bottles. Morning night and late morning and dropping to morning and night next week with three meals.

I’m a FTM and my 10 month LG is doing well with her meals but I’m a little stuck on what snacks to offer? Especially when we’re going out. Any ideas for snacks?

Hi everyone just a quick question my LO is 18 weeks old this week I’m just wondering what age did everyone start giving there LO the smooth pouches

My lo eats breakfast at home (a big portion of porridge), and then has snack, lunch (11:30) and tea (15:30) in the nursery, which is what we also do when she's at home, and then on those days she's at home we do dinner at 5:30 and bottle at 7. However, on nursery days she seems to come home ravenous, and wants to ...

hello all, just wanted to know what everyone is feeding their 7 month old 😁 He is my second born and he’s a foodie unlike my first one so I’m very excited to try new recipes . Can you please all share what everyone is giving their young ones and how much are they eating in a day.

Is it acceptable to give your 15 month old essentially ready meals for dinner every night? Like the Heinz ones etc.

My little girl loves having a snack after her morning nap. We do use kiddylicious snacks and she’s a very confident eater. I do offer apple matchsticks, pepper slices, cucumber batons that type of thing but looking for new ideas to jazz things up a little as she’s quite keen to try new things and always gives it a g...

Is anyone else’s 11mo not on solids yet? I’ve tried with my baby and he’s just not interested he’s still on thick puree foods, he’ll have finger foods like biscuits and stuff but is so uninterested in anything else I’m not sure what to do

What do you do with your toddlers while feeding your babies? I'm trying to breastfeed but am finding it really hard to give my toddler enough attention, keep him entertained and out of trouble while I'm basically glued to the sofa feeding.

I am really struggling with meals for my twin boys. They are picky eaters so far. Does anyone have suggestions for meals/snacks that kids love or apps/groups where I can find ideas? Thank you.

When is the best time to start baby food? Doctor has already oked it, but i feel like 4 months is still too young.

Does anyone else have a snacking baby? My boy is 15 weeks and during the day he feeds every two hours, sometimes less. Night time he goes longer (4-5 hour stretches).
