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...

Struggling to find time to eat. 😞

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).

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...

13-18 mo feeding issues

Hi ladies my little man is 13.5mo and I'm so drained and not enjoying BF because he comes to pull down my top and help himself just all the time.

Moving to solids

It’s a little early, but I’m curious so I’d like to get some feedback and educate myself. When did you move your babies onto some solids and what did you first start with? How was their reflux? Any negative impact or improvement? Tia ♥️

Is this a mental illness or just a form of abuse!

My baby’s dad is slightly insane and I don’t know if it’s an illness he has or he’s trying to make me go mad! I have offered food to him multiple times a day and he says no. For some background information as a young child he was starved by the person who brought him up and then when he went into care as a teenager ...

Not eating

Please can I ask what other mommy’s do when baby doesn’t want the food you’ve made. Ive gone from a baby that LOVED food since 6 months and now I’m struggling to feed him. Do you offer different food? I get so dishearted when he doesn’t eat a meal I’ve made that I know he likes. He ends up having breadsticks with cr...

Feeling like a crappy mom (venting post)

My LO is 1 yrs old and he doesn't really eat vegetables. I feel like I'm failing him because all we eat is rice and chicken - he has no variety and when i try he spits everything out.
