Picky eating

My daughter will not try new food. If she hasn't had it before she will refuse. Take alot of persuasion and time for her to actually eat it. Then once she does it's a breeze. Do you have any tips or tricks on introducing new foods?

So we have been doing a mixture of puree meals (me feeding him) & finger foods. This lunch time we just did a full meal of BLW and he seems very settled (why did I pick pasta and tomato sauce for the first meal?😂) I put the pasta and sauce one section of plate Watermelon in another And yogurt in another section…

How often does your family eat (breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert) at the dinner table TOGETHER (assuming your child is eating food at this stage)

I’m not talking about your child’s ability to stay at the table and eat…because we know some kids just can’t do this. But more so: how often do you typically find that YOUR family is eating a meal together at the same spot & same time (because I do want to acknowledge that not everyone has a dinner table)

Eating

Does anyone else's toddler just eat when tf they want? I provide breakfast, lunch and dinner obvs but half the time he won't even look at it, even if it's something he's asked for! It feels like we are just throwing money away. Meals bleed into one another too, so he will ask for his breakfast back at like 10, then ...

My almost 8 month old is still only having two meals a day. Anyone else?

He has breakfast (normally porridge) and then dinner time he has some sort of puree. I still don’t think he is massively interested in eating, he also hates anything with texture in and just spits it out. I keep seeing that 8 month olds should be moving more towards lumpy and finger foods but I feel like my little o...

I've made the consistency's really runny and she still does it! So I've tried her with avocado and banana and broccoli and apple and she has been eatin...

Appetite after stomach bug

How long did it take for your little ones appetite to get back to normal after a stomach bug? My son was last sick on Monday and only wants to drink milk or eat veggie sticks. I know it can take some time but I’m worried he’s not eating enough!

Fruit teether? Is it safe at 4 months?

I know you’re not supposed to start solids until 6 months but my baby girl seems to be teething. She is constantly chewing on her hands and won’t take a pacifier or regular teether. She’s also drooling a lot. The packaging says 4 months has anyone else started or tried it before at this age?

Lunch/dinner ideas

I have a toddler who is always a guessing game on food. A husband who doesn’t like vegetables or seafood. Looking new ideas. Veggies can be on the side. Doesn’t have to be cheap cheap but not 40$ dinners unless it’s going to be a lot for leftovers. Pinterest is just showing noodles and chicken. Need help!!

Solids

I'm looking for advice so please don't judge me. My daughter has been eating puree until today. I decided today she was gonna transition to solids (baby LED weaning). The only reason why she hasn't transitioned yet is because we didn't think she was ready. When we would give her solids she'd eater gag on them, spi...

Greek Yoghurt

Any ideas for things I could mix in Geek Yoghurt to make it more appetising for a 7 month old? I’ve tried blueberries but feel they don’t burst enough to give the juice alone - if that makes sense :/
