4 month old taste trial

I know you shouldn’t let baby digest food at this age but all the other moms have been telling me it’s a good time to let baby try some food. I also read that this is a good time to try foods that most people have allergens to because there’s a boost in their immune system 4-6m ? Baby is also showing signs that she’...

BLW advice

After a slow start to weaning my baby has started munching on some finger food (different veggies, toast etc) but he won't let me spoon feed him at all, won't pick up the spoon to feed himself and also won't stick his hand in a bowl then his mouth either. I know he'll get there with this so that's fine but I'm run...

First cereal

Hi mamas! My baby is 5 months, we’ve been given the all clear at 4 months but I personally didn’t think she was ready. Now at 5 months she appears ready, reaching for our food and watches us eat and she sits up very well. While I do intend on doing BLW, I want to start her off with cereal and then graduate to BLW a...

Help! Difficulty feeding my almost 1 Yr old!

My almost 1 Yr old is so bad with feeding (solids). He has about 8 teeth, 4 on the bottom, 4 on the top, but he can't really chew as he doesn't have any back teeth yet. Anything I seem to give him he doesn't want, and it's been this way for several months. I've become to get very stressed and dread mealtimes. I know...

Food ideas for baby

Okay so we aren't going like the BLW whole chunks of food right now. I learned with my first child with a tongue tie that they can gag a lot easier and when this happened with my first he would throw up and then he'd resent that food. So we just do a slow start with only soft foods, pureed foods, or mashed foods. Si...

Not self feeding

Does anyone else's baby refuse to feed themselves? My baby is 8 months old, and no matter what I put in front of her, she just doesn't want to touch food, but she will happily eat it if I feed it to her by spoon or with my own hands. I know it takes some time but I feel defeated 😩 Trying to remind myself to lower…

Ella’s melty sticks

Anyone had reaction to these? My LO is having a reaction and we’ve only fed him broccoli, avocado and these.. so I’m assuming it’s these?

If baby (7months) has only a few spoonfuls of a homemade meal do you save the remaining in the fridge and try again later that day or throw it away?

Does it depend on the meal? If so please comment
