Hi, my 17month old is getting his back teeth through and is struggling with normal meals, does anyone have any soft meal ideas? He doesn't like;- eggs, fish or pasta.

Im trying everything to get my 8 month old to eat “normal” meals like us. Trying spag bol, sausage and mash etc. but its so weird i spoon feed her she takes 3/4 spoonfuls then stops and refuses any more. But she isnt full because shes starving then and eating youghurt and puffs for me (i give these because i dont wa...

Hey girls, is anyone else’s 10 month old not eating anything at the moment? My little boy has had a love hate relationship with food ever since we started weaning, some days he will eat everything in sight and other days all he wants is his bottle. Today’s one of those days where he will not even look at his foo...

What are we doing with lo that used to eat anything put in front of them to now just looking at it and throwing it on the floor then screaming if you try and give it to them by hand 😭😤 I’ve just ended up boiling some pasta and giving it to her so she’s eaten something but she’s gone from eating all our home cooked…

My daughter is 21 month old she was eating very well she was having her three meal and snacks everything was good idk what happened from laft week she’s refusing everything even breakfast nothing she don’t want nothing 😮‍💨 breakfast struggle to eat only one pot of flavored yogurt and having only some bites in lunch…

This probably sounds stupid but is anyone getting really sad about weaning? My baby is 5.5 months in a few days, and he’s showing all the signs of readiness. Good head control, sitting well supported, no tongue thrust reflex, etc. I don’t think weaning him 2 weeks early will cause him harm, his digestive system isn’...

Before some people start coming at me, I do not mean full on weaning. I know all about the negatives of weaning before 6 months and I will 100% be waiting until 6 months before I start weaning. What I mean is can I let my baby have a taste. for instance, get some of the juices of a strawberry on my finger and let ...

I think I’ve not been giving her enough solids. Today she has had more, so hopefully this is more similar to what everyone else is doing? Porridge for breakfast Snack of avocado (1/4 small one) and baby crisps dipped in Philadelphia Late lunch of chicken slice, half an Ella’s 10 month pouch, half banana, & a peach ...

Starting actual solids that baby can chew and swallow. My baby is 10 months. The few things I’ve tried so far that he liked is avocado, eggs, shredded carrots and shredded cheese. He seems to like bite size food instead of strips/wedges so far. I’m just scared really to give him anything. I’ve tried sweet potato...

My baby won't eat anything but cucumber, toast and melty puffs. I tried purees /natural puree and he hated it so I went back to blw. He deffo much prefers it but won't eat anything and even what he is eating he's not swallowing he's just chomping and disguarding it. He did have a good chew on some lamb/beef at the...

My LO turned 6 months on the 14th and I started weaning on that day. However, she seems completely uninterested in food. She doesn't even open her mouth when I bring the spoon towards her, and if I do manage to get some food in her mouth she doesn't seem to enjoy it at all. I've tried BLW as well, but she barely eve...

So I bought those microwave Mac n cheese bowls for my daughter because she absolutely loves Mac n cheese. Can I do that with a side of like veggie puree?

We're encouraging our LB to use spoons as well as his hands, but a think three is a little excessive 🤷🏼‍♀️🤣

We’ve just been told by our dietician that our little girl should’ve been swapped from Nutramigen LGG 1 to Nutramigen LGG 2 when she turned 6 months (she’s just over 7 months now), as we had a lot of other things going on in the appointment I completely forgot to go back to this point and ask what the actual differe...

I have a teething toddler who went from eating all foods - pasta, chicken, steak, all veggies mostly to for the last 5 days refusing all food (except for custard, strawberries etc). And having complete total meltdown every mealtime. Except breakfast - porridge is acceptable?? And half the time won’t finish a normal ...

I need a little help with breakfast ideas for 7 month old. He refuses anything milky like weetabix/porridge think it’s the stodgy texture as he doesn’t like lumpy purées either. He’ll happily have toast but I’d rather him have that with his lunch and it gets a little boring having that everyday. He likes yogurt bu...

Who has started foods yet, and when did your baby like them? We have offered baby food 5 times and he HATES it! He will gag, cry, and lock his lips shut. Won't even want to chew on the spoon himself and he chews on EVERYTHING. I want to give him time so he doesn't have a bad association with it but do I keep trying ...

My son had a piece of plain bread, some blue berries and a few strawberries for dinner 🥴

My toddler has absolutely no fear of heights. I can never remove eyes of him because he climbs a bed/sofa/chair all the time and if I don't catch him, he just jumps. I noticed that other toddlers that we know are more careful. But they are 3-4 months older. So I am not sure if this is a temporary thing or just the w...

Hey mamas, I started solids with my little one a few weeks ago but she still doesn’t seem interested in the slightest… any suggestion’s?
