When to introduce solids?

When did you introduce solids to your baby? Also was your baby sitting on their own? Our doctor said to wait until our son is able to sit on his own. He will be 5 months in a few days and he has been showing interest in food like crazy. He is able to hold his head up but doesn’t sit on his own yet. Should I wait or...

Overreacting?

MIL keeps making remarks about my toddler’s eating and several were accusatory of starvation. This is something she has done since he was born. I have finally gotten to the point where I am sickened by her. We were in my car. My OH was driving, my In-Laws were in the back with my toddler. He likes to chew on one...

Meal Ideas for 10 month old

So I’m trying new things with my LO and I’m completely clueless when it comes to food because I personally don’t really have a good relationship with it, I eat once a day and I’m happy with whatever because I’m not a massive foodie. So if anyone could drop some meal ideas that would be a great help ❤️

She won’t open her mouth without me basically...

Not eating

I’m one week into weaning - I’ve done a mix of puree and baby led but she just isn’t interested. She’s exclusively breast fed and just seems to push the puree back out her mouth . Shes brought some of the food to her mouth but gags awfully if she gets a chunk in her mouth (I’ve only done really soft veggies so far)....
