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. We have been doing veg purees and finger foods and have been letting her explore the food but s...

https://mylittleeater.com/basic-oatmeal-fingers-for-baby-family/ Thought I’d share this as baby seemed to like it for a breakfast. I added raspberry and grated tinned apricot as the extras. Made a change from readybrek. Excuse my ugly photo 😉

My 15 month old loves smoothies ,Can I give my baby frozen blue berries ..I hate buying non seasonal fruits ,strawberries and blueberries are so bad in taste if they are not in season . I prefer giving only seasonal fruits to my baby .

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...

How to serve kidney beans to 14 months old? Just wondering about the skin

Snacks in the household is for everyone but he’s been finishing them lately and there’s me thinking we had some more when reaching out for snacks for our daughter. Sounds so pathetic lmaooo but I literally have to top up yoghurt and ESPECIALLY the simple mills crackers every couple of days and from now on moving for...

Any advice for picky eaters? I know it’s pretty typical for this age but man it’s hard. He just wants to live off berries, yogurt and snacks. He really does not want to try new things at all. Any tips?

Peanut butter & oat pancake, mango rolled in coconut and Greek yogurt ice lolly.

Anyone having luck with solids? I am a nervous FTM trying to start solids with my son!

I’ve tried looking at a couple videos but they’re all pretty different, how would you serve spaghetti to your 6 month old?? Or should I not..? He’s 6m and we don’t do BLW everyday so I’m just curious if it’s a good idea or not, or if I should just give something else.

Hiya lovely ladies Been doing homemade purees for a few weeks now and feeling ready to tackle some BLW. so far we've only done omelette strips, Cucumber and tomato Anyone got any things they'd reccomend especially things I can prep and put in the fridge / freezer. I'm big on meal prep as I find making things dail...

Cause I’m just binging on kitkats! Help!

Keep seeing conflicting advice on feeding so…

What do you do if your toddler refuses a meal? Tonight my girl ate 3 pieces of pasta, and i don’t know whether to offer something else or just give her milk before bed?

I wish I could put anything in front of my toddler and he just eat it. Breakfast used to be good now it's just him saying no to everything that is offered. He will snack and eat those kinds of foods but what's wrong with having a breakfast and a sandwich some fruit for lunch. Followed by whatever I'm having in the ...

I feel so stuck on what to give him everyday, I want him to try a variety of food so he can get used to all different textures and tastes. I do both Baby led weaning and purres

My one year old son gets to play outside supervised but I let him do his thing and watch my toddlers and him playing. He keeps finding small pots that have dirt in them and he will walk around with it in his hand just scooping dirt in his mouth he does it faster when he see me going towards him. Is he missing a mine...
