Anyone else's kid try to eat books? Or just mine 📚🙄😂

Our 15 month old has gone so fussy with food, she refuses pretty much everything. We've had to buy pureed food to get something in her 🤦🏼‍♀️ she is still having milk but won't have much else! She does seem to be teething so I'm guessing it is that. Anyone else had similar?

Getting close to 6 months now and I wanted to start pre making some bits for the freezer, some of the recipes I have say make with babies normal milk and I dont know if im being overly sensitive but the nutramigen tastes so bad I don’t want him to think food tastes terrible too 😂 just wondered what others did in…

What was everyone’s first bits of food they tried their baby with for their first tastes? Weaning starts at beginning of next month and I just don’t even know where to start I’m Definitely wanting to start with purées first as I don’t feel comfortable with her having big chunks of food, the thought of choking scares...

I have been giving my son a few spoons of purées the last month, he really enjoys food. I know to start it’s just about little tastes to get them use to it but he always wants more or a bigger portion. If he’s eating and enjoying can I give him a bigger portion or should I stick to ice cube size amounts ?

Hello, I have a 20 month old who is very fussy with food and has recently caught a few colds at nursery. Since then whatever few things he did like he won't eat anymore. It's getting VERY difficult to feed him. He just wants milk all the time... Any advice?

Hi, Im in desperate need of advice please. My 3.5 yr old (yet to be diagnosed) has previously been a very picky eater and struggled with textures and eating unless it was food he wanted.

My baby has just turned 6 months. Im wondering what people have started with and how to best get started.

Does anyone else's toddler chew chicken fingers then spit it out?

Does anyone else's toddler still put everything in their mouth? My toddler is nearly 17 months old and he still mouths things all the time. Is this common / something to worry about? I don't see babies his age do this anymore.

Hiya, I need meal ideas to give my 8 month old boy. We are using Ella kitchen pouches. I’ve tried him with most of them just struggling to think of what to give him for tea. At the moment he’s having brekkie and dinner and I give him a yogurt or fruit in the evening. What is everyone else doing? Thanks in advance.

Favorite crackers to put hummus on? My son is 12 months old.

What are you giving your little ones for breakfast? I want to start planning some meals but I’m looking for nice recipes.

My 5.5 has his 6 month checkup soon & I plan on starting solids. But he isn't sitting up independently yet. Did you wait until your baby could sit up properly before starting solids?

Need inspiration for BLW ideas. Trying to get my 8 month old off mashed/puree foods. She does well with a sandwich and toast etc but can't jist give her bread all the time.
