So I started weaning my girl at around 4 months, just starting on porridge (no judgement please!). However, I’m really trying to start BLW but I just can’t and I feel so so guilty! I have a really fear, anxiety over choking and even have it as a fear for myself. I just don’t know what to do as I really want her to ...

What are some good breakfast/ lunch/ dinner ideas for an 8 month old ? I know they can’t eat much but he’s been curious of what I’m eating more than his own 😂

Baby is six month but not yet sitting unaided. When we start BLW, do I offer food at every meal or do I start with one and build up to 3 meals? Do I start with steamed fruit/ vegetables like apple, sweet potato and broccoli or do I go in with whatever we're eating? TIA

My son is 19 months and for the past 2-3 weeks he’s been completely rejecting any type of meat/protein source we try to feed him. The only food with protein he’ll eat are eggs (sometimes) & Banza protein pasta. Is anyone else struggling with this? He’s not a huge veggie lover either & I’m just starting to get worrie...

Toddler mums, please do you just wait for your toddler to give you signs they are hungry or force them to eat by trying other types of food since they are still adjusting to eating solid? My kid is 14months old and doesn't like to eat on time. It is 3:48pm now and she hasn't taken lunch 😕😕😕

At 8 months old, should babies’ foods still be mushed/soft? I also feel like I’m repeating what I give to my little one, any idea of how I can change it up? I do half blw and half spoon feeding

I have been offering my son pureed food for the past 3 weeks and he is just not interested. I have mixed breast milk with baby oatmeal. Breast milk with fruits and vegetables. And he just keeps his mouth shut and/or pushes the food out with his tongue. However, every time I am eating solid food, he reaches his han...

So when my son was 2 months my friend came to visit. She had two kids already. Her word of advice was not to let your baby get into the 2-4oz snacking mentality. Just like us if they don't eat a lot their stomachs stay small and you have to feed smaller amounts more often. Instead I had patience and fed him at least...

Hi ladies, I really need suggestions for meal ideas for my 9 month old. Does anyone have any meals that are going down particularly well with their little ones at the mo? Thank you 🤗

I put a post up previously about my son being poorly in hospital, obviously when he wasn’t well he didn’t eat much at all, but now he’s better (🙏) he’s still no interest in meals and it’s all about snacks!! He used to be a great eater when it came to breakfast lunch and tea, but now everything I cook he wastes…

So my little girl has just been measured and weighed, she is 75cm and just under 21lb so is very small for her age!(just turned 18 months) no matter what food I make her she will not eat it unless it is a snack, so fruit, rice cakes, yoghurt etc, does anyone have any useful advice or just words of encouragement woul...

Hi mums! I’m hopeful my breastfeeding journey goes better this time then it did with my son. I remember being so hungry all the time with him when feeding. Can you give me some good and easy snack items I can stock up on? I have my c section tomorrow

Hi ladies My 2 year old doesn't drink milk at all. He hates yogurt and cheese too. I tried chocolate milk and strawberry flavoured milk but it didn't work. He has not had milk for a couple of months. I read somewhere that children are picky at different stages so I let it go but I'm worried as it's been no milk for ...

My almost 14 month old was eating so good! 3 big meals with two snacks along with 16-20oz of whole milk. This entire week she is hardly eating at all. She will drink her milk perfectly fine but throws almost everything I serve her on the floor. I’ve tried giving her stuff I know she’d like but it’s no different, she...

We are already starting to wean our 5 month old lo when it occurred to me that thickening his milk slightly with oats might massively help his reflux. We have tried carobel - intolerant to it as it’s soya based. We have tried gaviscon and omeprazole and they don’t work. Before we realised he had coma we had tried th...

She can't just survive on snacks and fruit right? She will refuse to any other food resulting in her throwing food on the floor😮‍💨 she's a little under weight but nothing to notice as her pediatrician said but I'm getting worried 😮‍💨
