How does everyone do it? I have been feeling overwhelmed now my lo is eating more and running out of ideas on what to give her usually I give her what we eat for dinner or leftovers from the night before. But sometimes I am scrambling to make her something fast so she can eat before having a meltdown. Lunch and snac...

My little girl is 9 months old, and is refusing to be fed by spoon more and more, but I can’t cook and everything I try and make for her fails miserably😂 Can anyone offer any tips or ‘can’t f*ck up’ meal ideas please? I really want to get off using pouches! She’s also got an egg allergy

I'm starting over at almost 40 because my 23 year old step daughter didn't want to be a mommy. So my husband and I have guardianship of her. This is a new adventure for us as our youngest is 15. She was born 4 weeks early and is just now 8 lbs 5.5 oz. I don't know how to make her gain more weight. I feed her constan...

Blended frozen wonky mixed berries in the food processor with full fat Greek yoghurt, squeeze of vanilla paste, squirt of honey, and juice of half a lemon. Freezes absolutely solid 😅 so broke it into chunks to keep in a freezer bag, take out before serving the main to allow to soften. Big hit, and nice treat with…

(my boy is 8 months)

My baby boy has just turned 7 months & we have been weaning him for the past 4 weeks. I started with making my own single vegetable purées and also gave him the same vegetables as finger food too to encourage BLW. I’ve tried as many vegetables as I can think of and have also followed weaning guides/charts. I’ve intr...

My son will be 7 months on the 11th and tried puréed zucchini, squash, sweet potatoes, and carrots. His favorite is zucchini, and squash which gives him a ton of energy. What have you feed your infant so far at this age? I can use a few new ideas on what to serve my little guy💡

Now that our LO is having 3 meals a day we are struggling to come up with meals/foods that they can have when out and about. Right now our go to for lunches is scrambled eggs, avacado on toast or soup… all of which can’t be had when out and about. Anyone got any meal suggestions for on the go? For reference my LO is...

I go to the gym 2 times a week bc that’s all the time that I have to go after I had my daughter I waighed 145, now I weigh 138 it’s just so hard to get this weight off fast, My husband has been wanting me to get on carnivore diet with him...

My LO turned 1 on the 17 but still seems to be a bit iffy when it comes to eating solids. I’ve tried introducing him to all types of regular food and even tried doing breakfast, lunch, dinner. I’ve also switched over to whole milk a couple days after his 1st birthday. I’m a little worried. I know people say babies m...

When does your LO eat their meals? Do you give breakfast first or bottle first in the morning? I give my LO his bottle first in the morning then about 2 hours later I give his breakfast but I keep seeing people say you should give breakfast first I’m a first time mum and sort of winging it as I go

Anyone else’s 15 month old suddenly being fussy with foods? He used to love all foods,and now last couple weeks the foods he suddenly loved he’s being picky with. I understand it’s probably a phase and hell get there again soon. But how long does this last?

I want to introduce food to my 6 months old baby. Please I need a clue om how to get full fat Greek yoghurt(picture of 1 and the best place to find it will be appreciated). I already wasted money getting 10% fat Greek yoghurt from Lidl. Thank you 😘

My son has been super tricky recently. Last week he was refusing food and we went days with barely eating anything. I could hear his stomach rumbling and his mood was terrible, crying, clingy and just really irritable. I was practically throwing food at him and praying he would eat. 🙏🏻 I initially thought he was…

The weather is nicer and I've got 2 weeks off for Easter holidays so need to try to keep a rowdy 13 month old busy. Planning to spend as much of the day outside as possible. I don't always want to rely on getting food out so I'm looking for your recommendations for on the go snacks and lunches, preferably that requi...

We’ve just started BLW for my 6 month old who was showing the signs he was ready for food. It’s day 4 of giving him some food to try but he’s not eaten any of it, instead he just pushes it around the plate and plays with it. I tried to spoon feed him some but he’s going ‘tight lipped’ so none is able to go in. Woul...

I feel clueless this is the first time my toddler has had any kind of bug I am giving her calpol every 6 hours making sure her water is always in close reach She is an amazing eater never refuses her food and refused her usual breakfast so I offered fruit and yogurt which she eaten but in the meantime has been sic...

Hi everyone, Has anyone made the switch to solid food yet. Amelia is 5 months old on Friday, I know they say you should wait until 6 months. But, we were in hospital last month with her being severely constipated. Now she has stopped pooing as regular as usual again. Doctors aren't really interested until she hasn'...

My son just turned one like 2 weeks ago, but he has refused to drink cows milk so he is still on formula at the minute. He has also went on a phase of only wanting plain food like bread sticks or wraps.. he won't eat anything else and will stick his tongue out and drop whatever it is I'm giving him. 🫣

How are we all getting on with cutlery with our LO’s? I tend to offer one most meals but she just isn’t getting to grips with it well, I feed her things like yoghurt still, if I preload the fork for dinner she normally takes it from me and eats it but other than that nothing 😂 any tips?
