My MIL came over to bring us food for dinner which she does pretty often so she can watch the baby. She pushed my fiancé and I to sit down relax and eat so we did. I got my baby’s dinner plate ready and told my MIL you don’t need to feed her she feeds herself she’s just a little slow because she’s still learning (sh...

What drinks are we giving 6m+ babies? My boy still drinks his milk as usual but I’m worried he gets thirsty after having his puree or baby porridge. He doesn’t seem interested in water or baby tea. Is there any juice he can have?

What are some good snacks to stock up on for breastfeeding?

My little one is 9 months and for the past month or so every mealtime has been a horror! Baby absolutely screams, cries, gags and vomits. Thrashes around to get away from food. I’ve tried feeding in high chair, floor seat, no seat and on my lap by no difference. I started out with blw and little one took no interest...

Advice on bowls that ACTUALLY stick down! I’m fed up of not being able to do BLW for my boy because he’s managed to pull the bowl up! Bought easytots and the plates are great but bowl is awful.

My son is at nursery full time and has just transitioned to “tots” room where they are encouraged/learn to drink from an open cup at mealtimes.

Do you think it’s better to give a toddler chicken wieners or have him never eat chicken? Mine eats everything except fish, chicken and meat. He loves fruits, beans, rice, eggs, toast, pizza etc. Husband feels like junk meat is better than no meat.

Hi can people please share their weaning schedules and meal ideas please?

To explain to my MIL why 4 hours is not a reasonable expectation.

What do you all give your babies to eat after nursery? Mine has a tea at 4pm there and I collect him at 5. I’ve tried giving him dinner at 5:30 but he chucks it on the floor 🥲 but will happily eat some toast.
