I don't mind at treat of ice cream or chips here and there but she brings trash food all the time. Is it wrong if I throw it out

With a tomato & herb base and cheese on top! It’s dairy free cheese hence why it hasn’t melted but it was actually really nice! We had it with salad then strawberries and pineapple ☺️

Has anyone tried/thinking of giving their baby porridge/puree or baby rice? My little one is 4mo and heard so many mixed opinions on when to start him? I know the nhs guidelines are 6mo+ but I know mums who have started way earlier

Who else's two year old is becoming a picky eater? Any suggestions to push forward?

She just spits it out or wont take it at all. 😫 I am so worried that when shes off formula shes gonna start losing weight because she just wont eat.

I've been reading a little about serving hot food on plastic plates etc in terms of microplastics and chemicals leeching into food and am starting to move away from plastic and my little one already eats off of a adult side plate as her main dinner plate. I also find the plastic plates etc get scratched and grubby a...

Hi moms! 🧡 First-time mom here! 👋🏼 My baby just turned 10 months old, and I'm starting to wonder at what point we start "disciplining" babies. Mealtimes are more difficult because he throws food on the floor, not because hes not hungry but because he finds it funny! Also when we stop him from going somewhere or…

I want to start trying BLW with my daughter but i'm actually terrified of choking 😵‍💫 Anyone have any tips please?? She's eaten purées with no problem and loves food. She's always grabbing at what I'm eating

Anyone having trouble getting their baby to take purée types of foods after one? He is eating plenty of things he picks up himself like toast, egg, etc well he is offered them I should say.

My little boy is 9 months old and we’re in the depths of weaning. We did start at 6 months but he wasn’t ready. We started properly at 7 months (he was a month early born and a tiny baby so had a feeling it may have been the case). We now have 2 teeth and like to bite large chunks off and try to swallow before che...

I'm not sure I'm doing this correctly. My health visitor said to give my 6 minth old little tastes of foods. It's not meant to be full on meals. I give hr a few spoons of puree maybe once a day. Is that okay?

Hi, we're going on holiday end of May. My little one has probs with his ears so especially worried about them popping. When he was a baby I breastfed him, last year he had a fruit pouch, to stop his ears popping. What can I give him this year that will make him suck to stop them popping? He won't eat fruit pouches a...

Hi, is anyone’s 8 month old not eating any solids? It’s so frustrating as it’s so much mess and effort for her to not even eat any of it. Before I can get the spoon in her mouth she just grabs it turns it around and gnaws on the end of it. Any puréed food that makes it into her mouth gets quickly spat back out again...

What are we all making our toddlers for lunch? He isn’t a big fan of sandwiches and I never know what to make.

Could you please share what you are feeding your LO's for breakfast that are quick to make? My LO is almost 17 months and we have fallen into a habit of scrambled egg and toast pretty much every morning and I want some variety plus don't really want him having bread every day. He's very clingy so I don't get long to...
