Baby Lead Weaning

How the hell do you do baby lead weaning with twins? How do you start? I’m here spoon feeding them and love that they are enjoying it but feel that they’re only interested if I show them the food. They do eat their fingers but they won’t touch the food and eat it, so see no point in it. Any tips are welcome ☺️

The past few weeks we’ve delt with: utine infection, viral infection, ear infection, rashes, teething, constipation you name it she’s basically had it the last week. Over the past few days she’s been refusing all foo...

I was under the impression they would give another snack sometime in the AM. When he is home he gets breakfast at 8am a snack at 10am lunch at 11:30-12 a s...

Meals & Milk & Snack

How much milk are you giving your baby on average and when? Im so confused on whether my little should be recieving milk during breakfast, lunch and dinner or if it should be given in-between with snack? Do you give your littles 1 snack a day or 2.

Spoon feeding

My baby will be 11 months in a few weeks. He’s generally a good eater and will try different things. He’s eating more textured things but he never has any interest in feeding himself. I’ve tried leaving food in front of him but he’ll just play with it and not even bring it near his mouth. I let him explore and play ...

Baby not wanting as much food

My baby is almost 12 weeks old. She is putting on weight and has just been weighed today, however, I've noticed over the past few days she just isn't into her food.

Constantly throwing food on the floor

After she’s done eating or if it’s stiff she doesn’t like. Doesn’t matter if I say no, ignore it, remove the plate, explain it etc. any tips? It’s becoming really annoying. Been doing it for a few months, I thought it was just a new phase but it’s getting to me now. It’s not just the food, it’s also her water bottle...

Picky eater dilemma

I have a 3, almost 4 year old girl who is a very picky eater. Sometimes she will eat, sometimes she doesn’t. I have introduced her to different foods, and that’s also a hit or miss. I’m getting frustrated because I’m running out of options, and all she wants is milk. Anyone knows of any medication to give her to gai...

Have I started weaning too soon?! 🥑🍌

My lo turned 6 months last weekend so we began weaning. I thought she was ready because she’s very interested in our food but it’s day 4, we’re doing BLW and have tried avocado, banana, sweet potato and apple. She shudders at every food and seems revolted by it all 😂 On social media all I see is 6 month olds loving…

Dairy free meals

Unfortunately my son has to be completely dairy free. We're using soy milk on the daily now. Does anyone have any food recommendations that are dairy free? My son is getting tired of eating the same thing and is starting to refuse it

How many meals is everyone giving their baby? I’m still giving 1 meal a day as I thought it was 6-8 months 1 meal, 8-10 months 2 meals, 10+ months 3 meals but I saw a post saying they give 3 meals a day at 7/8 months. My baby on some days struggles with 1 meal and she doesn’t have a crazy amount of milk so I’m unsu...

Drop your recipes for meal prep breakfasts

I have a 1 year old. Looking for easy make-ahead breakfasts that I can warm in the mornings. She wakes up HUNGRY and it's hard for me to whip up something most days aside from a single egg which I think she's sick of. I've been looking into bite size muffins or pancakes. What have you made ahead that works?

I don’t know about you mamas but my toddler gets bored with regular toys in 5 minutes lately so I’ve been making toddler safe sensory bins to alternate during the week. Kinetic sand one day. Dirty ducks another day. Rainbow rice another day. Hiding toys in a bunch of beans. (The beans alone entertained her for 30 mi...

Crusts off

Really curious as to why people cut the crusts off their baby’s bread all the time. I get they could be thicker and harder to chew initially but I always see all the blw posts cutting them off. I’ve always served toast to my baby with the crust on and she loves it all the same Is there anyone else who actually serv...

Meals

Is everyone giving their LO breakfast, lunch and dinner now? We tried it and I don’t know if it was a coincidence but he was really uncomfortable at night and I thought it was because his little tummy was too full. He currently has 4x 7oz bottles and 2 meals.
