We'll have a party of 10. Just aunts and uncles and close friends. I might be cooking just to save on catering . What are yalls plans with food?

When I eat little and often it helps me not feel so nauseous. What snacks do people recommend please?

So my LO is currently almost 8 months and is exclusively breastfed. I haven’t started weaning him into food yet because he’s not ready in the sense that he can’t sit unsupported, and he isn’t interested in my food (but he does put everything in his mouth toys wise!) and apparently they are the two signs that a baby ...

My 10mo has just started to refuse his dinner. We’ve been lucky that from the start he’s taken really well to solids and he will still gladly scoff his breakfast and lunch but the last 2 weeks he just is uninterested and sometimes very upset at the idea of eating dinner. We can’t work it out as it doesn’t make a dif...

My 3 month old is fussy quite often, he’s not colicky and eats on time but is 3 months just a stage for general fussiness?

Hi guys! I’m just wondering the best time to serve dinner for my little one? Should I be leaving a 2 hour ish gap between dinner and bed? She currently goes to bed at 8:30 and start bedtime routine at 8 xx

Hi ladies! Any recommendations/recipes for meals you have prepped to store in your freezer to help postpartum? xx

My baby just turned 7 months old today, and he still doesn’t sit up. He hates both of the high chairs I bought and refuses to eat solids. I’ve tried everything every day, but nothing works. My pediatrician says it’s normal and that I shouldn’t worry until he’s 8 months old. Has anyone else gone through the same thin...

How do you deal with a picky eater toddler, mine doesn't eat all day he just wants snacks and a piece of apple, before he was eating regular, I wonder he is having low iron because he tries to eat soaps and stones whatever he founds outside, but he is not low energetic because it says a low iron preson will have low...

I've seen some products which are 4 months +. When is everyone starting to give little tasters? I was planning on 6 months but now I've seen these pouches, I don't know whether to start from 4 months? Does anyone have any advice?

So my 19 month old just doesn’t want to eat dinner for some reason! She will eat fruit, snacks, toast and sandwiches even cereal but as soon as I put dinner in front of her she wants nothing to do with it. She’s always had a problem with textures so I already struggle getting her to eat veg and I’ve even tried givin...

Hello! I started feeding my baby purées when she turned 6 months and now she’s 7 months and wanted to offer new things but I am so lost lol I can’t remember what I would feed my other child when she was a baby. It’s been 4 years! What do you guys feed your 7 month old babies?? Im not doing baby led weaning just bc I...

I’m pregnant, in my 2nd trimester with a toddler. I don’t know if I’m quickly irritated or my toddler’s behaviour has taken a turn for a the worst of toddlerhood but I’m slowly losing my mind! I don’t know what to do to keep him busy as he wants me stuck to him like his shadow in everything he does except screen tim...

I never had any issues with my first but my daughter barely eats any real food. She’ll eat yoghurt and fruit no problem, but no carbs or protein most of the time. She’s still breastfed so I’m not overly worried from a nutrition standpoint but could do with some solidarity or maybe food suggestions? I don’t know

My husband's 7 year old sister has a sore throat and I'm worried about going out to lunch with her. My husband thinks it would be fine if she stays away from the baby and sits at the other end of the table. Even if she did stay away (I'm not convinced she would as she's very excited to see him) it still worries me.

We did a mix of baby led weaning and spoon feeding from 6 months. He has just turned one. Loves BLW but isn’t doing well with spoon feeding himself at all. I know it takes time but any tips to help as he’s getting 20% of the food in his tummy with the spoon and I end up doing it for him so he doesn’t go hungry. ...

My baby is 6 months old and she was positive for Covid, she is also teething so she doesn’t want to eat anything. I tried solids, milk in spoons but nothing is working. Her dr just told me that is part of the process but as a mom I can’t just see my baby without eating. Any experience with this? Help

My 18 month old is super fussy with food all of a sudden 🤦🏻‍♀️ Anyone else going through the same thing? I feel awful as he doesn’t want to eat anything unless it’s a yogurt or some crisps. Sometimes a slice of watermelon 😂

Do you encourage your LO to hold cutlery to eat? Even if unsuccessful 👀 If no, comment when you will start
