Hi, my baby doesn't want to eat anything. I’ve tried spoon-feeding and baby-led weaning, but she won’t touch anything I put on her table. Occasionally, she likes grapes and cantaloupe, but only one slice at a time. When I make her puree, she won’t eat it voluntarily; she just closes her mouth when I try to feed her....

My pediatrician told us our baby girl is in the 15th percentile for her weight and needs to eat/gain more. She did gain weight from her last appointment, but not as much as expected. She’s averaging 24 oz per day. Dr said she needs to eat at least 28. I’m trying not to make myself crazy as a FTM but I don’t know wha...

Any tips on how to get 9 month old to eat? Breakfast she has porridge which she eats fine. Tea she has pouch as she refuses to eat homeade food even if i get the texture exactly the same. And lunch is a nightmare. We tried crumpets, cucumbers, toast, sandwiches, eggy bread, jacket potato and beans. She just refuses ...

Can you all share what yoghurts your feeding your 8+ months old. Please only reply if you can provide a photo as there’s loads of different Greek style yogurts out there.

Anyone else with short arms and have multi purpose kitchen tongs to retrieve little miss’ dummy’s 😂

So tonight I’m hoping to do his first fill plate of blw…..I have just been doing puree up till now, but what’s a good ‘quick’ meal and I’m so scared he’ll chock I’ll take any advice

I’ve never been a big breakfast or lunch eater and tend to eat late but obviously baby needs to eat at decent times. I’m not planning on starting 3 meals a day immediately, we’ll start breakfast and work up but what times do u feed them? His sleeping all over the place atm, we’re still in the after effects from the...

Baby will not hold a spoon or pick up food and put it in her mouth just throws it and she’s 8 months now. No idea what to do.

I’ve tried everything, making her laugh (that’s yucky), explaining (stickers are not food because xyz), getting serious (please take that out right now) but nothing works.

My very good friend’s baby is 5 months and weighs 4.5kg. I have a 10month old so I understand the worry that comes with baby’s growth. She said her baby doesn’t eat long and eats in tiny bits and the doctor said the baby is underweight and she should focus more on her feeding. My friend doesn’t know what to do bec...

We live with my in laws. Last night I made tacos for everyone but my FIL eats later than us so we left the food for him to eat when he was done working out. I am vegetarian so I make a separate “meat” for myself. And the rice is a communal dish everyone can eat. My FIL packed the meat in the same box with the rice a...

My LO is almost a year old and has shown no interest in eating solids. He will eat puréed food but not actual solid food. I don’t know what to do. I feel like failure 😞 I feel like most 10 month old are eating solid food no problem.

What are you all feeding your 8 month olds out and about without a way to heat things up and who won’t eat unless spoon fed…

My girl loved weaning in the first week I did a mix of pouches and home made just puree cause we tried blw but she was just sick. I've tried making the purees more mashed than just like water and she's been sick just with mashed up cauliflower, but she's never ever sick and doesn't turn her nose up at the ellas kitc...

Currently my baby can tolerate textured puree. I want to try giving her a large melty puff stick crisp but wonder if it’s to soon as I’m worried she will choke on it. She’s 7 months but 6 months corrected

Still on a solids strike so we have kiwi pieces, apple and celery purée, and star pasta with bone broth and garlic. Trying to kick a cold that won’t quit!

We are really struggling with our little one and feeding - especially lunches and dinners, as he seems to have gone backwards on this. He will now only consistently eat yoghurt. Solids and purées are 99% of the time firmly rejected. He will occasionally eat some fruit, but most of it gets spat out. If we hand hi...

I am desperately trying to find recipes that are affordable that my kid will eat. What do you feed your toddlers?

Is anyone else struggling with mealtime? My daughter is 10 months old. She was doing great with mealtime until recently and she will shake her head,stick out her tongue or spit the food out when we feed her. Does anyone have any recommendations on how to get her to eat? Thanks!
