When people say their baby eats what they're eating can you give me some examples? My baby will eat finger foods and what I'd call meals but it's always something different to what me and my husband eat as I don't feel our dinners can be adapted with the exception of one or two things so looking for ideas.

Is anyone else still really struggling with weaning? My little girl is just not interested, she seems to have such a tiny appetite and is really not driven by food at all. In herself she is 1000 miles per hour all the time, she is so active and never sits still, honestly don’t know where her energy comes from!! Wean...

Pitta, red pepper hummus, bulgur wheat salad with lemon juice/ olive oil/ cucumber/ tomato/ red onion/ parsley/ salt & pepper. Since going non dairy for my breastfed baby with CMPA I’ve found it really difficult to eat healthy. I’ve been living off bread spaghetti and processed meat. Two under two so looking for any...

My one year old has mostly finger food I’ve found stuff he likes for breakfast and tea but can’t find anything good to give him mid day for his second meal , any ideas ?

My baby is 1 year old, she was eating fine but recently we both got sick with the viral flu/cold now she has lost her appetite. She doesn’t eat anything at all, even cerelac she just spits it out. I tried giving her different kind of foods but she take one bite (not enough to fill her stomach a little) or picks it u...

My little girl is 6 months old today she’s been having porridge since last week and we tried her with broccoli she wasn’t a fan which is fine but I’m seeing all these videos on tik tok of mums making all these lovely things (how do they have the time 😂) Do you give milk with meals? How much food do you give…

Saw this on a blw group the other day, thought is post it here incase anyone looking for a quick snack/ lunch idea. Literally took my less than 10 minutes to do, and little one loves them!

Hi everyone. My baby is 8 months now and has 3 meals a day. I have only fed him food pouches and jars. How much pouch is people giving? I have only been giving him half so far but not sure if it’s enough? Also anyone like me giving just only food pouches/jars can you share your meal ideas what you give? Appreciat...

We don't give our 14month old chocolate normally however at easter would like to give her a little taste. She only has 6 teeth currently. She has CMPA. What chocolate egg/chocolate would you recommend that's not too hard for her. We have asked relatives to get her books but we felt a little taste might be nice for her.

if your baby doesn't like a certain food? Avoid or keep trying? My girl doesn't like 🍌 🍌 🍌

hey! my bubba is 6months and we have been weaning for a few weeks now. She’s showing no interest in anything really, the only thing she’ll happily eat is banana porridge or she’ll suck on some of those melt in your mouth things. Whenever i try with anything else she just refuses to open her mouth after the first bit...

So I did a quick stock up of fruit yogurts, soft cheese, smoothies and yogurts for my little girl! When I got home last night I totally forgot to put it in the fridge! I woke up this morning and remembered. Will all this be ok or waste?

Got wheatabix and porridge sachets for breakfast She like pasta, sunday dinner and cauliflower cheese so far for lunch in adult type foods I give her a baby pudding And 10oz of regular milk Just want to know what's safe in adult foods that she can try, she only properly started weaning at 9 months due to throwing...

How did you guys get over the fear of giving baby solids? I’m just so nervous about chocking when feeding when I know she needs to eat solids. Any advice?

I have a question ladies. When did you move your kids to bigger solids? My daughter is almost 7 months old now and I wanted to know when I could start feeding her different solids like eggs or bread, etc. She’s had the purées, but I’m scared to give her anything else and I don’t exactly know when I should.

How are we getting our little ones to stop eating throwing their food?? My son keeps throwing food on the floor and than getting super happy when the dogs come to grab it. But because of that he’s almost not eating now 😭😵‍💫 I’ve told him no, no we don’t throw. And i continue to do that. I’ve taken his food away…

Hi, Do you all count calories that your baby consumed to make sure they’re reaching the daily goal? I am losing my mind trying to get my boy to eat as much as he’s “supposed” to throughout the day and it’s really taking a toll on my mental health! He consumes 20 oz whole milk per day (sometimes an oz or two more, s...

Is it bad that I prefer to spoon feed my baby rather than do blw? I’ve tried but she just doesn’t seem interested. I’m worried she’ll end up missing out on skills that come with blw. At least I know she’s definitely eating what I give her.

I provide food for my daughter when she is at her childminders and it is always a variation of this. The bottom layer may be things like a sandwich, pin wheels or fritatta but rarely anything else, and always with cucumber sticks/olives/cherry tomatos. Middle is always fruit, and then bread sticks/malt loaf/crackers...

Hey, is anyone else’s baby refusing to eat meat? She likes fish but refuses meat and gags before it’s even near her mouth. I’ve tried chicken, lamb, pork and beef and she doesn’t like any of it. Tried blending it too incase it’s the texture but still won’t eat. Curious to see if anyone else is having similar or how ...
