Okay, story time. I texted my best friend with a mini rant about how my husband gives my two year-old food to walk around with. This pmo because I don’t. If we have food, we sit at the table, which in our case is a counter with barstools because we are currently renting a smaller place. My toddler has the option t...

May sound like a stupid question but no one tells you about this weaning crack. What way would you work giving them dinner if their bedtime is 7.30? Would you do bottle, dinner, bed ? Or dinner earlier, bottle an hour later then bed? For example I gave my baby dinner then at 7.30 barely drank any of his bottl...

My baby is just turned 6 months, I have no idea what is okay and isn’t ok to feed her, I buy her purées and I give her bananas, but my midwife said I should just give her what I eat, however idk what she can eat without choking without me staring at her the entire time. I gave her a boil carrot And all she did was...

I’m planning on feeding my 6 month old the same as us, we are having spaghetti meatballs and tomato sauce. I’m aware the spaghetti needs to be cute up into small pieces but how do I serve the meatballs?

What is the best way to get my baby to gain weight? She gets cereal in her bottles and eats cereal by itself. Her doctor said she’s on the smaller side and told me to just feed her cereal but she already eats cereal. Her twin brother is only 2 lbs more than her.

I’ve been feeling a bit stressed lately by what I see on social media about what my almost one-year-old “should” be doing. When it comes to food, he still relies on four 8oz feeds a day and isn’t the best eater. I offer him three meals, and while he tries most of it, I don’t feel ready to drop any feeds. But seeing...

Hi everyone, looking for some help please. My LO was a good eater. She eats well for breakfast and lunch has cereal, toast, bananas, loads of Berries, oranges. Lunch can be cheese, yoghurts, beans, scrambled egg, rice cakes etc. But I cannot get her to eat any dinner food, potatoes, veg, meat, rice, noodles nothing....

HELP!! My daughter turns 2 in May and is the most picky eater I’ve ever known. She’s been this way since a little before she was 1. I’ve tried sneaking foods into the foods she likes but she knows every time and spits it out. She uses to lick it, touch it, smell it, but won’t even do that anymore. I keep getting tol...

What is everybody feeding their 7 month olds? Mine is mostly formula fed, little beast, rice cereal and some puree stuff.

Anyone else’s toddler just not eat anything??? I’m loosing my mind cause I’m making stuff I know he will like but won’t even try it 😩😩 I’m not sure if it’s more of a texture thing but no idea what else to do/try to get him to eat something that isn’t nuggets or pasta!

I need meal ideas! My son is very picky & gags just by touching food sometimes. I offer him a lot but he eats maybe a bite if any. He does fine with whole banana, oatmeal, yogurt & purées, but I feel like I need to be doing more! I’m a little discouraged.

FTM here so I just need some guidance on how this is supposed to work. If anyone can direct me on where to read because there’s so much conflicting information on the internet. So to my understanding babies start solids in stage 1: 4-6 months. This includes cereal & fruit/veggies purées. I don’t want to start over f...

What time does your toddler have lunch?

Hi mamas! Just wondering what are your feeding schedules or routines to offer formula feedings and solid foods. I’ve found myself struggling finding the appropriate window. As he seems to be full enough to not even wanting to touch foods or maybe too hungry so he only eats a few bites.

What can I give my 6 month old baby ? Food purées ?meal ideas ?💓

My daughter suddenly BARELY eats and she usually has a decent appetite where she’ll finish at least 1 full meal a day and snack throughout but suddenly she won’t finish ANYTHING! Anyone else having this happen?
