But just recently, maybe the past week or so, she will eat a couple of mouthfuls and then she’s started holding her food in her mouth, she won’t swallow it or spit it out and sometimes will hold it in there for 20/30 minutes which then...

My toddler has been so wasteful lately!! I make him a sandwich when he asks for one and then all of a sudden he doesn't want it and wants something else!

Loves to self-feed soft foods like oatmeal and congee, but hasn’t quite gotten the hang of chewing. For example, he’ll take a bite of a toast strip, but if the bite was too big a...

Hey just wondering if anyone has any advice. My little girl (just turned 1) is a nightmare when it comes to food.

How did you teach your baby to eat from a food pouch without making a GIANT mess? 😮‍💨😩 He sometimes will intentionally drink from the little straw, but he doesn’t understand how to gently squeeze the bottom of the pouch to get more and just ends up turning it upside down and emptying it.
