So my lg has always struggled to eat well I think. Before when Ive tried to feed her she would refuse but recently I am able to feed her and she’ll take it just fine but it can take up to hours to finish one single meal, it consumes my whole day tbh. She has to have the TV on or we’d be playing in the play pen in or...

So I had a single mama order a small order of my carrot cake cups for her kids small get together. They loved them! And I loved them right along with them 🤣🤣🤣 I was so damn happy I had two cups worth of left overs 🤤🤤 This picture is my second cup 🤣🤣 yes.. yes it is a cheese dip jar. We don’t throw glass away…

I Will Post The Other Meals In The Comments. This Photo Was Our Lunch! So damn good 😮‍💨 It was clam chowder, all fresh ingredients served with fresh homemade half (wheat) n half (white) bread topped with a rosemary and garlic butter spread. Breakfast was a delicious fresh homemade apple and sweetened cream cheese…

Hi all!! My toddler is 14 months old and refuses almost everything with texture. He would much rather have pureed food still. I feel like I am at a loss as we offer him everything we eat every meal (which is a wide variety). Any tips, suggestions would be appreciated!! I don’t know if this is a cause for concern?? 🙁

Hello! My little girl is 5 months and we’re looking into weaning her with either baby porridge or baby rice with purées. Does anyone have any dairy free recommendations? Thank you!

Hi, Do you recommend silicone or bamboo weaning sets? Bowls/plates Planning on doing a mix of BLW and traditional way

Did your pediatrician give any advice about what to start with? Mine wanted baby cereal or baby oatmeal. Then veggies then fruits. Said cereal is easy and has iron. We are on Bobbie formula that literally has all the iron she needs. I don’t want to start with it. Her dad is also a person who wants to follow the do...

Anyone else 15 month spitting food out he use to eat everything now all of a sudden he barely wants to eat and just plays with the food

How do you get your little one to stop throwing food on the floor? My daughter is 15 months and she knows not to throw the food on the floor, but she does it anyways. Especially now that she knows the cats will come over and eat the food. She will purposely throw it on top of them. I understand she’s still young and...

Looking for advice or support please. My LB eats without much fuss when his daddy feeds him meals. With me, he tries to take the spoon away, throws food around and he doesn't eat more than 3 bites (and sometimes wakes up hungry at night). I don't know why he's different with each of us. We both sing songs to him whi...

My 8 month old is refusing milk.not little but a lot. He is just pushing the bottle away. He used to drink well up until 8 months. I tried reducing the solids but he is still refusing the bottle and drinking way less than he should be drinking a day. He loves solids but as milk comes first I want him to have that a...

When did you introduce cutlery? What training spoons etc did you use?

Tuna sushi bowl (baby’s tuna mixed with Greek yogurt instead of mayo)

I honestly just need a rant because I am honestly HATING and DREADING meal times with my one year old…. All he does is moan sitting in his chair…. Will constantly turn his head away from the spoon, any finger foods will throw…. I am sooooo sick of making meals for him to just CONSTANTLY REFUSE and just be constantly...

My 17 month old used to be a great eater but the last couple of weeks have been so hard. He’s currently living off Greek yogurt and nothing else. I’m hoping it’s just a phase. Has anyone else had this?

How much puree can I feed my 5.5 month old. I’ve been giving a couple of teaspoons full at dinner but no idea if that’s enough. He seems to want more but no idea what’s too much Only just started purées the last couple of days

Is anyone else’s LO biting the melty sticks/ wafers rusks etc, my LB just wants to bite them all and he’s not giving it enough time to melt in his mouth before swallowing which is leading to him gagging and bringing it back up, which is a good sign but he then goes straight back to biting them, anyone else’s LO doin...

My baby girl is currently 12 months and 1 month I am still breastfeeding her throughout the night but I am having trouble feeding her through out the day she won’t eat breakfast or lunch or dinner she will ether nibble it and just throw it what should I do

Is it normal for a 9 month old to completely refuse many foods? My little boy won't even pick up most foods, let alone try them. There's a few safe foods like toast, baby Crisps and oatcakes which he will always eat though, but he won't try new textures, most fruits and veg unless pureed. Should I be worried?

My daughter was ill a few weeks ago and off her food (understandable and normal), but she is still refusing most meals now she is better. The last few days she’s probably had a weetabix a day, maybe with a few breadsticks, and her usual favourites like bananas, salmon, curry are just a complete no. I don’t know if s...
