I understand the goal is to get your baby off milk by 1 year old. I feel like this is gonna take my little boy a whole lot longer: (10month old baby) he’s on 3 meals a day but still spits his food out (I think that’s a phase) but yet still heavily relies on milk. (Atleast 3 a day!) any helpful tips? He normally wak...

So my LB is 4 months Thursday. I've seen different answers as to what age is best He is already able to sit supported sometimes unsupported. He is reaching and opening his mouth when I eat my food or he sees my food And I've seen purées from 4+ so can I actually start doing it now?

Thought I would share these banana and wheatbix balls sprinkled with desicated coconut. They are super soft and easy for baby to pick bits off and chew & swallow 💕

LO just turned 1 a few days ago and was wondering if she can eat those uncle Tobey’s honey porridge pouches yet or to wait a little bit

My LG isn’t bothered about breakfast how can I change this. She is 9 months old and iv tried porridge ( baby ones, oats and wheatbix) will only have a few spoons if that. Iv tried egg toast yogurt and fruit. She will again entertain a few spoons of yoghurt and put fruit to her mouth but mostly squish it. I just don’...

So my son's on lumpy purees still, he does feed himself little bits but isn't a huge fan of BLW. I've just started to introduce lunches to him but have no idea what to give him. He has porridge and fruit for breakfast and then some sort of pasta or potato-ey meal for tea. I wanted to stay away from anything too carb...

So I'm looking for some reassurance, baby just won't eat much at all. She will try things (pick up and taste) but isn't actually 'eating much' will end up clenching her fists and screaming/throwing on the floor. She won't let me feed her either and ive tried letting her feed herself with a spoon but it just ends up ...

Anyone else’s LO still having purée aswell as food? She had a phase of being really poorly, and in a desperate attempt to get something into her we gave her a fruit pouch, and she loves them. We’ve carried on giving her them, as if I gave her the same whole fruits she’s very fussy with them and most of it gets was...

Hi everyone, what squash would you recommend giving your toddler? My son is sick at the moment and not drinking as much water as usual. The doctor said we can give him some squash but no idea which one to get! I read online it shouldn’t be sugar free - is that correct? Any suggestions?

Does anyone have any easy meals to cook for 10 month old, I’m a terrible cook and I feel like I’m doing the same meals on rotation?

What sort of things are people making for lunches when their baby goes to childminders/nursery? He doesn't really eat purees and I need inspiration.

My little man has recently just started sitting up independently and shows interest when we are eating. He loves tasting things but he just won't eat or swallow any food or puree, he just licks things 😅 He also doesn't have teeth or is showing signs of teething yet, should I just wait till he starts teething or…

Hi all my little girl has confirmed CMPA and we’ve just started the weaning process. Was just wondering what substitute for yogurt I can give ?

When I try & give my 10 month old food he’s at a phase where he will use his tongue to get it out his mouth. Is this normal? I know he likes the food as he’s had it several times before no problems.

Is your 15 mo feeding themselves with a spoon or are you still spoon feeding and giving them things to eat in their hand? Mine eats some hand held foods for sure on his own and I’ve tested a spoon out and I know he knows how to if I hand him the spoon with food on it. Where are you guys at with this?

My Asian baby mama’s, who else feels this huge pressure around feeding our babies. My toddler doesn’t like to eat, she could miss all 3 meals a day and just live off my breastmilk if she had the choice but because she’s not a great eater, i am spoon feeding her, like forcing her to eat when she repeatedly keeps refu...

What did everyone wean their little ones onto for their first soilds when on aptamil pepti 1?

What are you guys feeding baby? How much formula/ breast milk a day? How much purée? Has baby started finger foods? FTM here and I don’t wanna give her something she’s not ready for but she is ATTACKING us when she sees us eat because she wants it too or she will scream and cry and freak out because we are eating ev...

What quick snacks can I give my baby? I feel so guilty when I’m eating something and he’s there watching me with hawk eyes

My daughter cant have milk or gluten and thus far I’ve struggled figuring out what meals to make her. She eats a lot of protein and veggies (not too keen on fruit). Any ideas on meals?
