Good finger foods for 7.5m old? She loves her crisps, biscuits and toast, trying to encourage to feed herself a few more bits, easy for her to keep hold of, suggestions please as my mind feels blank! Also what kinda meals are your LO’s currently having?

Hi all! My son is currently on mashed or lumpy puree meals and with some finger food. Fingers crossed food is mostly the dummy with the fruit in to hold or boiled veggies or melty sticks, or pasta. I would love some ideas for everything from breakfast, and dinner. We have lots of purées to use up in the freezer ...

What sort of things are you putting in your little ones packed lunch or offering as snacks? We try and be low processed but find it hard when on the go or needing something quick?

What are you giving your babies for lunch and dinner? And is anyone not really doing BLW yet? We have attempted a few times but my baby will take a massive bite out of the appropriately cut food we give him so obviously a choking hazard and it just terrifies me and we have to stop, so still feeding him myself. We a...

I have a friend who suffers really badly with anxiety and as a result isn’t eating. She’s already very slim and I am worried that she’s going to make herself really ill.

My son (2) is seated in highchair for every meal and snack. Otherwise, he runs around with food and won't sit still. Having problems at the moment with constantly tipping and throwing his food (1 bite of 1 thing. Throwing another at the same time and it's like this for the full meal). Do you have any ideas on how I...

My little girl is 6 months and we started weaning a week ago. She seemed really ready staring at us eat and sometimes trying to take stuff off our plates obviously alongside the other indicators for weaning eg sitting up.

I’m a first time mom and will be starting BLW. What are some essentials I should get? We already have a little chair for him to eat on. I want to start with just mashed everything not completely puréed but not Whole Foods if that makes sense.

We started solids 10 days ago, but my baby refuses everything—makes faces, turns her head away, and seems uninterested.

I grew up eating extremely spicy foods so this question had never crossed my mind before today. I made beans with chorizo to go with our dinner today and gave some to my 10m old. Seemed to enjoy it, but after a few bites asked for water and drank so much of it . Then I worried that I accidentally gave her something...
