Baby-led Weaning

My 7 month old absolutely loves her food and we're doing a combination of BLW and spoon feeding. There's nothing she's not tried and liked! But...I'm constantly sh!tting it that she's going to choke on finger foods and it's horrible. She's tiny yet tends to ambitiously shove entire finger foods in

Hi, any tips on getting my daughter to stop putting her hands all over her hair when she is eating? It is funny but not when it comes to cleaning her up. I can't start bathing her after every meal so at the moment I wash her hair in the sink but it doesn't seem that pleasant for her. So, apart from

What diet can I give to my 5 and a half month daughter?

Hi, my 8 month year old LB only really screws up the food and throws it about. He eats purées and yoghurt brilliantly but finger food isn’t working out as well and I’m not sure he really eats any of it. He gets porridge at breakfast, then he has chunky puréed food with his grandparents at lunch then

My little girl is nearly 10months old and she’s getting bored of the food jars we buy her and is more interested in our foods. What foods/meals can I prepare for her, possibly in batches and freeze, for her to eat that aren’t going to be too chunky or too costly for us. She’s not a picky eater thank

I make sure my 6 month old is fed before we sit her down and she seems to like handling food and even swallows some, but she randomly bangs her hands on the tray like she is frustrated, is this frustration for more food or is it just playing and this will stop? Thanks sorry if stupid FTM question!

I made some and DD2 LOVED it, but is in nursery for 2 days now, so fear I may have to throw it away.... could I have frozen it, does anyone know??? I'd just like to know for next time thanks!

Just a rant really! I am a first time mother and read up all about BLW for weeks before starting my baby with it two weeks ago. I could only do few meals here and there and baby is doing so well. He is soo interested in tasting everything we give him. But I am doing this alone. The whole responsibil

Hi my lo is a very active and healthy looking little boy and the only reason I am concerned is because I've heard stories of toddlers getting seriously ill from drinking more than 21oz cows milk in 24 hrs (I can't find out if formula does this too). And the only things he eats are dry Cheerios, rice

Hi all I hope you are well. My LO will be 6 months in 3 weeks and I’m now looking at BLW and trying to prepare for it. I have a few of questions; 1) do I start with just one meal a day? And when I mean meal I mean just one bit of food 2) do I give it before, after or halfway during a feed? I wo

Are they ok to give lo? I hope so cos we had some when we went to the beach today and Arlen seemed to love the piece I gave him....

Have you ever had a burning general question that you would like answered but cannot find the right group? It might not fit exactly into any of the popular groups. Eg: Toy advice, what to do with pets when away-not really fits into Debate or AIBU. Of course one can ask in the birth group. But after

My 6 month old is pooping a small hard lumps like almond. Is he constipated? I am giving him prune puree and water in between feeding but doesn’t help him to poop properly. Any advice please.thank you

Hi all! My lg is 8 months now, ebf, and we have been on solids (full blw) for 6 weeks now.

Not getting th

Hi everyone. I was doing finger foods+purees with my 6.5 month old. we were learning to eat food but then he catched flu and isn't eating well since then. At first he was atleast bringing food to his mouth and chewing a bit but now he has started rejecting altogether. Everytime I try to bring spoon

Hi! I’ve been doing blw since 6 months Nd my dd is now with 9.5 months but still doesnt swallow. She is curious and will bring the food into her mouth... she will even bite and cut the food but she will spit almost everything. I know her most important food is still the milk but we are just concern

Does anyone know of any eco-friendly splash mats available in the UK? I accept we’re probably going to end up with something plastic but I’d like it to be made from recycled materials at the very least.
