MIL force feeding my baby.

My mother-in-law gives my baby a lot of butter while cooking, often putting small pieces directly into his mouth. I already include enough butter in his meals, so this is additional and unnecessary. Once, we playfully gave him a tiny piece of garlic to see his reaction, but now she gives him raw garlic every day....

Nursery junk food

My nursery insisted they were healthy eating only when I joined and tried to explain that nutrition is very important to us. How common is it for nursery to rarely serve vegetables and give highly processed food several times a day? We’re sending them an email about it. I am worried they will think we are retalia...

Food recommendations for 9mo?

This is a weird one, at least for me. My second born has been given the ok by the doctors for weaning to solid foods about 2-3 months ago. He has absolutely no interest in the purées/baby food. He makes gross faces, and just spits it out after gagging. BUT He will get ahold of his older (almost 3yo) brother’s food a...

Is anyone giving purées yet?

Baby girl is 5 months, tried her with an Ella’s kitchen 4+ month puree yesterday and today and she’s certainly interested. Just wondering if anyone else is doing this too? Conflicted between whether I actually take weaning seriously or just wait till she’s 6 months to properly give it a go 🧐

Toddler struggles with food

Ever since I started weaning, my daughter has never been interested in food. Every meal time is a mission to get her to eat. And on some occasions (most) it’s like a washing machine in her mouth, the food just goes round and round for like 10 minutes before I have to ask her to just spit it out. Which avenue do I go...

I’m getting so frustrated with this not eating and worried she’s not ge...
