So we are weaning and have been for about a month now.. I know yoh should do the one good ever two days and then change! But I’m finding it hard to know when to progress. Baby is having like three “meals” three ice cubes each time of either fruit or veg. Also just tried mince. But I feel like when do you do more and...

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...

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…

Our little girl is 6 months old and we have been offering some pureed food such as porridge for breakfast, sweet potato, carrot, some Ella’s kitchen pouches etc and she will try a couple of mouthfuls and then refuse any more. Should we stop for a week or so to see if she is more interested, or keep persevering?? Fe...

Ideas.. what can I put on my baby’s toast she’s 8months other then butter

Breakfast time 😄 Baby is eating purees now .

What kind of food are you have at your baby’s party?

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?

Does it depend on the meal? If so please comment

Anyone else’s Lo still not confident with picking up slippier bits of food like strawberry or cucumber etc? He plays with it but doesn’t pick up any foods and eat them unless it’s dry food such as bread/crumpet/crackers etc. we’ve not long just properly started BLW last month, still doing that along with a mixture ...

Strawberries, jumbo blueberries, sheet pan eggs with cheddar and parsley, and mini pancakes

If anyone has any pictures of info that I could give my baby throughout the day, we are doing purée at the moment, but I’m just struggling to think of new things. I feel like he’s just living off of potato sweet potato carrot 🤣 I’m currently doing a new veg or fruit every two days so it just feels like it’s taken…

Anyone else’s toddlers at the stage where everything you give them to eat just gets thrown onto the floor? I worry that he’s not eating enough, but I also think if he was that hungry he would. 16 month olds are wild 🤪

Just wondering if anyone’s little ones are the same… My little girl has 1 meal a day as she’s not quite 6 months and has been on purées and finger foods for 2ish weeks. However, I sit her in either her high chair or bouncer every time I eat and she goes nuts!! She’ll try and grab the food off my plate and shout/cr...

I'm literally here seeking reassurance, I made bread and gave my LB some. I completely forgot I added 2 tablespoons of honey to the loaf. I'm just a bit worried about the fact he's had honey.

Hi mums, I’m quite lost, for the past 4 days, my 8 mo been spitting his food out during his meal/doing blowing raspberry whenever he eats now. We thought he doesn’t like the food so we gave him food that we know he likes but still the same. The only thing he doesn’t do this to is one of those ella’s kitchen snacks/...

Honest answers please at what age did you start trying your baby with puree, rusk, baby rice/porridge etc? I know it states on the packaging certain months but was curious on actual ages people start.

My baby is so so fussy with food, hates pasta, hates veggies, very hit and miss with fruit, won’t eat bread, won’t eat meat, spits nearly every meal out I make her. The only way I can get her to eat is if the food is very very smooth and the only way I can get any meat into her is if I feed her a 12m+ ready meal bou...

Is anyone just at the end of their tether with a bad eater?!! It sends me crazy. He used to eat breakfast quite well and I've always gave him weetabix, yoghurt, or readbrek. The only thing he eats now is cheese and fruit. Every day is a struggle, I know if he doesn't eat well he's up in the night for a bottle. I ma...

It’s getting more and more impossible to feed my now 2 year old daughter like I know there’s a picky phase but my goodness this is impossible! We are going on day 3 of no dinner and I don’t have a lot of ingredients unfortunately cause I’ve been really broke lately so today I made chicken and potatoes yesterday I ma...
