Anyone’s toddler refusing to eat?

All he wants to eat is cucumber. I have tried offering loads of different foods and he’s just refusing to eat. He was such a good eater I don’t know what’s happened 😩

Tips/advice on weaning please!!

I feel so so lost with the whole weaning process 😥 I feel like we’re not doing enough for our little one. I have made my own purées on different veggies and he does enjoy! However twice now he has projectile vomited after his last bottle of milk. Bare in mind we’re only giving small tasteful amounts of veggies just…

Fussy Eater

Any tips on how to get my 10 month old son to eat/try more than just Greek yoghurt and fruit? He won’t even put any other food to his mouth to try and just bats away the spoon or throws it straight on the floor 🤯

Weaning (8 months)

Is anyone else’s baby just absolutely unbothered by food? I’ve been trying for 2 months but she just isn’t interested. I’ve tried BLW and also spoon feeding. She shows interest when we’re eating but just doesn’t want to eat anything herself. Everything else goes in her mouth except for food though 🙄🤣. I know food…

Nearly 7 month old feeding a lot and feeding to sleep

In around a week my little boy will be 7 months, he seems to be still feeding quite frequently and it seems like it’s too much, I know the health visitor says just feed when they want and follow his lead but it just seems like a lot for him to be taking in. We are slowly weaning but we’ve had some difficulties so he...

Self feeding with hands

We started weaning our now 7 month old when he was 6 months by doing a combination of spoon feeding and offering finger foods and preloaded spoons. He took on really well to accepting preloaded spoons and feeding himself but wouldn’t touch any food with his hands if placed on his plate or tray. I would really lo...

Weaning!

My little boy is nearly 6 months old but I have no idea where to start with weaning! 🙈 Can I cook a normal meal and blend it up for him? Or do I have to use the baby foods? HELP

Food for 8mo baby

Hey loves so by baby is obviously teething yet no teeth. We have to stick to purees for now and baby cereals since he technically didn't learn how to eat on his own until he was 5weeks old. That's when he was discharged from the NICU. Any led weaning advice and/or recipes. He can sit upright with support.

Health/ Feeding

I’m reading lots of posts about people feeding babies adult crips and biscuits etc. No judgement at all as I imagine these are habits formed through a generational lack of understanding and education on healthy eating but baby’s little bodies (kidneys specifically) cannot tolerate the amount of salt in these sort of...

Baby feeding herself.

My baby is 8 months old. She has always refused a dummy and teethers and therefore doesn’t put food in her mouth. She has just started letting me spoon feed her but when I give her finger food or a spoon she just throws it on the floor as she’s not used to putting anything in her mouth herself. I’m getting worried a...

Feeding

My baby just refuses food all together. He won’t even open his mouth once he knows I’m going to feed him purees and I really need him to enjoy his food because he’s been really difficult from then get go. I mean like he has 2/3oz of milk every 2 hours even through the night!!! At this age 😩😩😩😩

Not too messy, easy to pre make ‘snacks on the go’ (As MIL keeps giving my LO a ton on those baby snacks)

Nothing against them (like the ones in the pic) they have their time and place but they’re making my baby constipated and she literally gives them to her all day long when they’re out with her. Does anyone have any recipes for some pre made (not too messy) snacks on the go. That have a bit of shelf life. That I can...

Hey guys, I'm really needing some advice. I have a 2 month baby boy. I love him to death. We are currently BF almost exclusively ( a bottle here and there). I've been having a hard time trying to eat. I've been so busy trying to take care of him that I don't always have time to eat or make something. He's cluster...

Weaning and meats

I'm a vegetarian and aim not to raise my little girl as one (I had the choice to transition and want to give her the same opportunity if she wishes too plus my partner sint either). I'm not sure what or how to introduce meat to her diet at the moment it's all veg and lentils. She'll be 7 months come Wednesday. Has a...
