Probably a stupid question

Hey ladies, I’ve been watching many videos on healthy eating and making homemade green juices, does anyone know weather they would be safe for my almost 15 month old, as he loves drinks and I feel it’s a good way for him to consume some more greens in his diet. Thank you 😊

Broccoli, potato and carrots with seasoning . Plsss help a mama out

Baby won’t eat solids

My little girl started off well from 6 months and would try both purées and finger foods. For the last 2-3 weeks she just plays with finger foods and I struggle to get any purée into her. She’s almost 8 months. Is anyone else experiencing this?

11 month old and solids

My son is 11 months and still won’t eat solids. I’ve been trying since 7 months. I do notice the texture of foods disgust him. Am I alone on this?

Gone off food

Has anyone else's little one become quite fussy with food at times? He used to be so good at trying food and now he won't eat things he's had before 😩. He will still eat stuff but is addicted to biscuits at the minute too 😩. Dinner times are becoming quite stressful.

Favorite solid combinations? Banana and avocado is a current favorite. I’m a little late to the party introducing solids.

Baby is 8 months and I plan to have her on primarily a vegetarian diet until she’s a certain age.

Using silver wear

So today at the WIC office, they asked me if my daughter was using silverware on her own and I had said no. We haven’t even started teaching her how to use it. I know that’s my fault. I should’ve asked sooner at what age to start teaching her. She can eat off a fork or spoon. She can also hold them(not correctly) an...

Steak for toddlers

How is everyone preparing steak for their toddlers? I normally cook my husbands and my steak medium rare and it comes out perfect. I try to cook my daughters well done and I end up burning it🫣 I’m too scared I’m going to undercook it and make her unwell. Any advice will be appreciated thanks

8 months old

Hi, I’m going on holiday to Egypt with my baby when he will be 8 months old. Please can you tell me what food and milk your 8 months old drinks? Will he be able to eat fruit etc from the all inclusive? Will he still be drinking a lot of milk?

Vitamins

Has anyone managed to find vitamins that their children like the taste of? We've currently got the abidec ones (bright yellow liquid) but my little one just spits out as much as he can of it whenever he has it. Are there any that actually have a nice flavour to them?

Dinner for my 10 month old!

Broccoli mac and cheese, sweet potato and carrot purée and natural yogurt with half an orange juiced into it. Not sure if it’s teething by my baby has completely gone off eating solids and wants to be spoon fed again? Hence a more spoonable meal. Has this happened to anyone else?

Increase in appetite

Anyone else noticed their baby eating loads more food since turning 1? I feel like I’m feeding my baby snacks every few hours in between meals and naps 🫠. He eats SO much. Do I have to be worried about over feeding at this age or just encourage it? Everything is home cooked and balanced so not worried about him…
