What can my son eat at 5 Months?
I know the cans say they are for 8 months and up but my son really seems interested in the food his dad and I are eating. Would it be okay to give him stuff like the pictures I posted?

fruits! any and all fruits and veggies chopped into tiny pieces steamed soft but not super soft my baby loved anything with no skin so anything you can peel and steam is perfect unless they dont like veggies idk what soft meats there are but if you give them a lil tiny piece of whatever ill think he would love it ✨ u can never go wrong with mashed potatoes!

Williams Sonoma and Pottery Barn often have great tools for kids, especially around Easter, they tend to have cute stuff on sale. I’m always lusting after it for my toddler. Lol! Right now they have adorable Harry Potter stuff! https://www.williams-sonoma.com/m/shop/gifts/gifts-for-kids/
Food rejecting 23 month old
Our 23 month old, who used to eat often and a variety (fruits/ veggies, applesauce, yogurt, rice, meat) has started slowing down and now won’t eat much from any offering and now won’t eat dinner at all we sit together at night). Not sure if it’s from our resent move (new to Orange) or change of his usual environment (our Aunt who helped care for him while we are at work is no longer with us) or... More

Also, don’t worry too much about the new baby. Just do your best to give the older one individual attention during naps and even during baby feedings. It’ll mean chores don’t get done, but that’s okay. It’s survival mode those first few months to keep everyone emotionally secure.

My son will be 2 at the end of this month. The last couple of months his eating habits has drastically changed. He would eat just about anything I would offer him before but now he is very picky. He will basically eat cheese, crackers, and fruit all day long if I let him. When we sit down at the dinner table he wants out of his high chair within 10 mins. What works with us is I feed him when he... More
What does your toddler eat while on the go?
We are away from the house for a few days, I brought all kinds of snacks, but I am stumped on what to offer at restaurants? My toddler is 21 months old, doesnt eat veggies unless pureed into a sauce or chopped small enough to be hidden in something. Also doesn’t eat meat or eggs :( (believe me I’ve tried!)

What Aida suggested- also as most restaurant food is packed with salt and oil- and maybe try ordering some potential winners to share with baby, like creamed spinach, mashed potatoes etc? I used to ask for unsalted food at restaurants as much as possible!

My son used to eat everything until after his first birthday. Now he’s picky and won’t eat meat of any kind. We usually order vegetables, fruit, or fries and Mac and cheese mainly.
13 mo old boycotting food- used to be a major foodie!
I don’t understand what happened to my baby. She would devour an entire piece of salmon or turkey burger like she hasn’t eaten in days, obsessed with mashed potatoes and baked sweet potatoes. And breakfast was her favorite time— sometimes she ate more than I did I think!! Now I can barely have her drink a 4 oz pouch and eat a couple of peas or blueberries. I’ve thrown out plates and plates of... More

Feeding issues - picky eater
Long story short, our daughter has some weight gain issues at 15 months and my mother in law moved in for the next month. We’ve been told to try not to make meals “about the baby” and stare at her and clap when she eats etc... While it’s cute and clapping make she smile and she claps as well this could also being causing more issues since she is like on display or performing. I know it’s amaz... More

@ Julie... thanks! Yes, our daughter is home with us but we are hoping to do meal play dates since she liked to watch other babies. She really enjoys it! I think I’ll be looser with the idea of cheering with meals as I know she gets happy and loves to clap and be playful with us all. I just need to adjust to having a MIL living with us for a month... small house, limited time alone with me ... More
Snack time
Do you stick to a schedule and give snacks at the same time everyday, or, do you wait for the child to say they are hungry or ask for a snack?

What ideas for play time and learning time and snacks and food do I do for a one year old. I’m a new mom and would like any helpful tips. Thanks
One year old won’t eat
Anyone have/had a one year old who basically refuses to eat anything? It’s been almost 3 weeks and my sons usually a good eater but he suddenly refuses almost everything besides yogurt. He won’t drink water or milk too. He hasn’t been sick or anything. Advice please? How can I get him t eat more

Right around 11.5 months to almost 13 months my daughter started cutting all 4 remaining front teeth. Then starting at 15 months for another 4 weeks she cut all of her first molars. So it’s possible it’s teething but I would have him checked out. It could be an ear infection associated with teething or something like that, and for me I’d just want to know for sure that everything is okay. Good ... More

Have you tried distracting him with your phone? When my 14 month old goes through phases of refusing food I’ll put Daniel tiger or Sesame Street on my phone and it distracts her long enough for me to feed her

Oatmeal, avocado, banana, boiled eggs all are very filling. Apples with peanut butter always help me out. Yogurt for kids and toast
Breakfast for that 15 months old
Hey everyone What are the choices for your kids breakfast? My son is 15 months old and we just started to give him milk in sippy cup. He adapted it well. But he is not finishing it at once. Usually he was able to finish 6-8oz at once in a bottle. Now from a cup he hardly drinks 4oz at a time. Then he doesn't want it anymore. But I feel he is hungry because the same time he asks for some... More

What about smoothies? You can do milk, Greek yogurt, peanut butter, a little honey or maple syrup or agave nectar, or fruit, and even veggies! Just get it all in there!

To make sure our LO gets all the vitamins she needs.. “we have a picky eater” the doctor recommended FlintStone Vitamins. She’s 18month so we cut them in half then crush them into a powder..from there into peanut butter or applesauce. We use the immune booster FlintStone this one doesn’t include IRON which causes her constipation.
Suggestions!
Hello I have a one year old and she will eat the bare minimum in her high chair. I think okay she’s full? But then once she goes about playing she comes back to me and wants to be fed while walking around. This is something I want to avoid!! Please anyone have suggestions on how I can keep her in the high chair for her full meal???

I’ve seen people who feed in the Walker- putting food on the little tray part. Maybe when she starts asking for food plop her in her chair. Let her down when she wants down. Repeat. I’m sure it won’t take long for her to see that’s the one and only place she’ll receive food. Remember- YOU run the show, not her :)

Sit down and eat with her, model the behavoir you want to instill in her. She probably doesnt see eating in the highchair as personally enjoyable /interesting as eating while exploring, interacting with things around her. Sit down with her, eat with her, and interact with her while she's in the highchair to instill the behavoir.
Refuses any meat
My almost 2 year old daughter hates meat. I’ve tried different types of meat, different seasoning, baked, breaded, grilled, even Mc Donald’s chicken nuggets. Wants nothing to do with it. Her diet consists of veggies, noodles, and potatoes, and yet she’s been the same weight for the past 8 months. She’s just such a picky eater I don’t know what to do any more. Any ideas?

Chick peas (Gabanzo bean) Falafel is delicious! Tofu she loves it surprisingly, I hated it as a kid. Peanutbutter or other nut butters. Cheeses, yogurt, cottage cheese. Even some veggies lik... More
I need reassurance and you tell me what you think??
So my in laws have been watching my LO for a couple of days and they seem to think my son has autism/some type of eating disorder. He doesn’t like eating solids, and he’s really picky with what he eats but he does love sweets 🤦♀️ because of his dad. (We still encourage him at home to eat solids/healthy food etc.) he loves those pouches that are like purée foods (apple sauce pouches) etc. so he... More
