Hi mamas! What snacky snacks are we giving our toddlers. Mine likes fruits but I feel like I should be giving her something else like yogurt. What do you guys give your babies ?

My little boy refuses to eat any solids and gets really upset / throws food on the floor/ spits it all out when given food. He also refuses formula and will only take a breastfeed.

Is anyone else finding weaning very up and down? In the beginning my baby took to it really well but now more often than not he’s closing his mouth, refusing food and gets upset.

Looking for new ideas to try

tried weaning for just over a month now my boy is not interested in the slightest about food just spits it straight back out

My little boy is generally a good eater but he just will not eat any form of meat iv tried disguising it and cutting up really small but he just spits it out everytime. He won’t even eat chicken nuggets! He’s nearly 2 so thought if I kept trying he might eventually change his mind but not working yet 😂😩

Anyone else’s 20 month old just throwing all their dinner? It doesn’t matter what I cook him, he just throws it all! I’ve tried all his faves and new things but it’s just been the same every night this past week! Hoping it’s just a phase!
