My LB is 7 months old and has a milk protein allergy. I’m finding it so disheartening not being able to include cheese, yoghurt etc but I’m a little worried that the vegan/dairy free aren’t good for babies. Plus vegan cheese doesn’t seem to melt (?!) Does anybody have an suggestions for good alternatives please so...

My baby is 6 months old and I've never done BLW before but would like to try her with it, but I don't know where to start. She doesn't have any teeth yet so what sort of foods can I give her to try?

Please help me - I am so stressed by weaning. EVERY meal is refused. EVERY single meal causes tears and whinging and food being thrown on the floor. My baby won't sit still or even look in one place for a second let alone focus on a spoonful of food - I've managed successfully about 5 spoonfuls of food whilst she w...

My baby is drinking aptamil milk so does he have to be eating aptamil porridge or can he try different brands (eg cow and gate)? i haven’t tried him with any other ones yet but im just wondering 😊

I swear my child only lives off fruit. Any other moms in the same boat ?

I have tried to give my little one every possible fruit but she won't have it. Does anyone have a way or feed fruits in any other way and your little one and it has been successfull?

Just arrived today and am not sure whether let my lo play with them for a few days and then add food to it?

Little one won't eat bread, won't touch meat other than a chicken nugget if the stars align, is picky on and off with potatoes so no more mash, no chips etc. Also won't entertain eggs, any kind of pasta sauce or fish of any kind. I'm really struggling to find things to feed her she is rejecting absolutely everythi...

He won’t even open his mouth for a spoon. I’m trying every day but haven’t seen any change He will eat a melty puff with his hand but no other finger food. Anyone else in the same boat? I’m so fed up of making stuff and it’s all wasted.

Cream cheese and salmon on a bap with some cucumber and cheese savouries, first time trying salmon properly and she loved it!!

Hey mamas I am trying to introduce purée to my LO and she’s just committed everything she’s had all morning out. She’s BF but I added some pre-made formulae to her puree while making it because I’m looking to stop BF soon. Could this be the cause? I’m concerned she won’t get used to other meals if her body keeps re...

Anyone else’s toddler living on toast and fruit or just mine? Hahaha she’s barely eating, doesn’t have bottles anymore either, drinking lots of water but not much else? I’m worried she’s not eating enough but she’s obviously not hungry? She just asks for toast or cereal. It’s driving me crazy!? Any advice?

Thinking of giving baby bits of our dinner like cottage pie etc and blend it, but would still add a stock cube if giving some to your baby?

I know kids can be fussy just checking it’s still within the parameter of toddler behaviour and I don’t need to watch out for OCD anxiety

Is it normal for my EBF baby to be eating less often? My LG is 10 weeks old and was 7.4lbs when born, she's now 12lbs. She used to go every 2½-3½ hours but lately she's been going every 4½-5½ hours. Is that normal? Should I be worried?

We are having a Christmas party coming up and basically we’re having finger food so I been trying to think about what I’d like to take. I’m thinking jalapeno peppers 🫑 I’d like to hear other options though. Something reasonably priced. Will need 100 servings. Thanks!

My daughter has had tummy problems since she was born. Almost always has a difficult time pooping so I’m trying to change up her diet. She already doesn’t eat many foods so I’m looking to “hide” veggies and such! Please let me know of any meal and snack ideas🤎

Help I think my baby accidentally swallowed a small button like joystick of a video game console I recently bought. She had been chewing it off before now and I’d been taking it from her and keeping it away from her reach. Somehow I forgot to hide it and she found it and chewed it off but now we can’t find it anywhe...

How much does your little one eat. Mines 4 months and he eats 8 oz already. I try to get him to eat every 4hours but it's sometime 2 maybe 3 hours after eating. Is that okay. I just don't want an overweight baby
