Does my baby need teeth to eat?
The answer is no! Remember the readiness signs for weaning? Teeth aren’t on the list ;)

Have you ever heard of the BRAT diet?

Weaning - Are you ready baby?
It’s a question most first time mums will have with their baby’s six month birthday approaching. These are the signs to look out for: 👶Can baby stay in a sitting position with head steady. 👶Hand to mouth coordination.... 👶Making a chewing motion. It’s not too late to sign up for my newsletter, which I’ll be sending out this weekend, that covers this topic more in depth.

First of all a big hello to all my new followers, thanks so much for the mention @littlepeachlondon Over the past few months I’ve been thinking long and hard about how to continue Paxxi Family. I have a love-hate relationship with social media, as you might have gathered by now, and find daily posts impossible to keep up. However, I’d like to keep sharing ideas, weaning tips and recipes with you, as well as the occasional thought on parenthood. So I’ll be trying a new angle by communicating through newsletters. You can sign up for them via my site, link in bio👆The first one will be about readiness for weaning. #weaning #weaningbaby #weaningideas #blw #babyledweaning #foodblogger #blwideas

Hands up, who likes pasta?! It’s one of my girls’ favourite dish, so I make sure they get a nutritious sauce to go with it! This Bolognese recipe does need a bit of tic in the making but it’s worth every effort!

Are you in need of some energy but, like me, had enough chocolate and biscuits over the festive days? Energy balls might be the answer to your cravings! I love to get inspired by what’s on the shelf in health stores, I usually buy a selection and then try to create my own based on the ingredients. Here’s a very simple trick: convert the percentage of ingredients in grams and off you go. These energy balls are loosely based on the hazelnut & raisin ones by @deliciouslyella ...Just in case you’re wondering, they are absolutely fine for babies too ;)
TIME: 5 minutes MAKES: 15 WHAT YOU NEED: 50g medjool dates, stones removed 30g hazelnuts 25g raisins 1/2 tsp cocoa powder (without sugar) 1/4 tsp cinnamon
2 tbsp cocoa for coating
HOW TO MAKE: Put all ingredients into a small blender and blend to a smooth consistency, the hazelnut pieces should still be visible but tiny. Divide into 15 portions and roll into small balls between the palms of your hands, then coat in cocoa powder. #energyballs #healthysnacks #healthysnacking #babysweet #toddlersnacks #homemadesweets

👼 They might not always be angels, especially not at the diner table... if your baby decides to reject all that carefully prepared Christmas dinner, don’t take it personal, give them whatever makes them happy, be it rice cakes or three bananas in a row. Putting pressure on yourself during the festive period is the one thing you don’t need! And don’t let well meaning advice by family and friends put you down over the next few days... says ‘yes’ to everything but follow your instinct, it took me two babies to figure this out! On this note, have a very merry Christmas! #weaning #weaningideas #blw #blwideas #weaningjourney #familychristmas #keepcalmitschristmas #fussyeater

BLW and spoon feeding. We started our weaning journey exclusively baby led, so when my 14 month old suddenly started throwing down all her food (and plate and bib) at every meal time I offered her food on a spoon. And if by magic, she ate, she opened her moth at every spoonful... was I disheartened by it, that my independent eater suddenly turned a spoon feeder? No, because I know that she can feed herself if she wants to, I know how and when she tells me that’s she’s had eno...ugh (pulling on her bib and pushing the spoon away), and I believe that the success to a happy and healthy eater lies in us listening and observing what works best for our children. Whether you follow blw or traditional weaning, listen to your baby, follow their cues and don’t think that you must stick to rules, neither you or your baby are failing at anything just because you change the way you feed. It’s your child, you’ll know what’s best, and don’t look left or right for comparison, every child’s needs are different. The way you respond to them is the important bit! And remember, it’s most likely just a phase that’s over sooner than you think! Happy feeding everyone! #weaning #babyledweaning #blw #blwideas #weaningideas #weaningjourney #blwjourney #feeding #spoonfeeding #foodblogger

All she wants are sweet tastes... If your happy eater suddenly decides to boycott your food please don’t take it personally! As babies turn into toddlers their tastebuds develop and so does their personality, they suddenly feel empowered by being able to communicate and they’ll make the most of it by telling you what they do and don’t want to eat. If this is your first baby it might feel like the beginning of the end of healthy eating- but it’s not, believe me! It’s all a pha...se! For some it is over in a snap, for some it lasts what feels like an eternity, but it’s not. During these spells of food rejection remember to keep offering a variety of flavours and textures. They’ll all be back on the favourites-list sooner than you think. Another thing that helped at our table is sharing all the same food and eating together, you’re setting the example, they might try to fight you for a bit, but in the end they’ll follow 🐏🐑🐑 #weaning #healthyeating #toddler #toddlerlife #babyledweaning

Sometimes a change of scenery is all you need to get the ball rolling! These girls have been very difficult when it comes to food lately, teething and chesty coughs didn’t help... So you can imagine how thrilled I was when they literally stuffed their faces with food this evening! What did the trick? A change of scenery! We took the tray off F’s seat and moved her chair, so she sits next to big sis at the proper table. #weaningideas #weaning #dinnertime #familylife #hauck #highchair #sisters #toddlerlife #tablemanners

It's getting cold outside, and with low temperatures come runny noses, coughs and achy bones. Get a head start or treat existing colds with this natural remedy tea. I'm currently using it on both my girls (1 and 3 yo) who are suffering from a chesty cough. It also works wonders if you are suffering from Raynaud's syndrome. *REMEMBER: HONEY IS NOT SAFE FOR CHILDREN UNDER 12 MONTHS OF AGE!
