Is this the right size to serve egg strips to a 6 month old?

I know all Nurseries are different, but does anyone have any pictures of the meals their baby eats there? I keep asking if I can see some photos (because I'd like to know how much she is actually eating) and they won't send any. I'm just completely clueless!

Can I serve my baby tuna pasta mayo? Just asking as it’ll contain mayo. She doesn’t have any current allergies and eats eggs regularly.

We finally have teeth! What solids did you start with? So far we have only tried apples but want to give our little man more, especially with Thanksgiving coming up.

Anybody else getting annoyed at how distracted their baby is getting during feeding he’s been easily distracted for awhile but it seems like the last couple weeks it’s so much worse any body got any tips? I have two cats and it definitely complicates things now I’ll get him focused and then a cat walks by and all fo...

What do you do if you give your baby a pouch/jar of food and they don’t finish it once it’s already been warmed in water? Can you re warm it in water again or do you have to just throw it away? Baby is only eating a couple of mouthfuls at the moment! (Baby won’t eat anything cold so giving the left overs this way is...

What’s some nice puree combos? My baby just started weaning 2 weeks ago but I feel like I’m stuck on anything with potato. He’s tried a variety of veg and fruit but I’m worried to give him things like cabbage and beans. Any good combos? He hates strawberries, blueberries, apple, peas! He loves avocado, carrot, swee...

I express breast feed/combi feed my 11 week old son and for the first 2 months of his life he was super hungry and always guzzled down his food but the last few weeks he has not seemed as interested in his food and is not eating as much. He had been eating (on average) 4oz every 3 hours but now it varies and sometim...

Hey mama, Does your little one throw food on the ground ? Mine looks straight into my eyes and starts throwing her food down (she sits in the high chair) as soon as she is done or does not want to eat :(. She is just 17 mo and it’s sooooo annoying ! If you are also facing this, how and what do you do to change this ...

My sister is doing our Dad's birthday cake and having a wobbly because it's not perfect. She is getting angry at me, like putting her hand up in a stop motion at me, for trying to help and refusing to listen because I'm not SIL, who is a hobby baker. Then Mum was starting to prep lunch and started to ask a question...

My 15 month old will not stop chewing on and trying to eat string/fabric. I’ve tried teething toys and he eats plenty of food but I am always trying to stop him from eating socks, blankets, wash rags, blankets, his shoes, etc. Any of you mommas have suggestions?

My daughter is about to be 4 months old. Several people have recommended that I introduce cereal already, but I was thinking of waiting until she's at least 5 months. I also would like to find a cereal that is organic, has more natural ingredients and is infused with iron. Any recommendations for a good one?

My little one is constantly sucking on his hands even when his not hungry! He is 13 weeks old anyone else’s the same? 😅

My May baby still tries to eat so many not food items such as dirt, play dough and crayons. I thought he would grow out of putting these things in his mouth. He gets extremely distressed when I try and stop him. It’s not like he plays and then tries some. If I get the play dough out he will grab it and immediately p...

My LO is 20 months old and has become so fussy. He will happily eat breakfast but then refuses lunch and dinner and prefers to snack throughout the day. It’s getting to the point where he would happily not eat if it’s something he doesn’t want. He used to eat anything and everything and then became fussy at around 1...

Hi guys, so we’ve been on a weaning journey for a couple of weeks now. Just purées atm as he’s 6 months on the 19th but he was giving all the signs (NO HATE PLEASE). Nothing major, just every now and again and he’d taste it but then spit it all back out which I expected but the last week (as we’ve had the thumps up ...

Anyone’s 13 month old just decided to eat absolutely zero food every day? 😅😅

Is anyone else’s little ones really bad when it comes to food? My son turned one last week. And he’s just terrible with eating! He’s such a fussy eater and whatever I give him he’ll just fling most of it on the floor. Or he’ll leave it in his mouth for a few minutes then spit it out. It’s driving me crazy!

My son is 2. Thursday he spent the day throwing up and only wanting half a banana and milk. Friday he ate half a banana for breakfast, nothing for lunch, and I had to basically bribe him to eat half a McDonald's small fries at dinner. We bought him a happy meal hoping that it would get him back to eating something a...

Hey! Wondered if anyone had started getting LO to help with making meals or food prep or baking. Looking for ideas for stuff to make with my son that is totally safe to eat raw in case he has a munch a long the way and also really simple and easy for an under 2 year old. He doesn't really have much understanding of ...
