My 15 month old has started refusing her food 😣 even foods that she absolutely loved. I know this is a phase but what on earth do we do?! I feel bad to keep giving her toast, strawberries and raspberries😅 anyone else struggling?

I dunno why but I’m finding weaning so much harder than before just feeding milk because milk was just every 4 hours or so but now with solids & milk he’s obviously fuller so I’ve no clue about timing and my boy isn’t the best at giving cues until he ragingly hungry 😅😫 been giving solids and trying new foods out…

I’ve always let my 5 year old choose how much she wants to eat off her plate, as long as she’s had some of each food. I’d rather she eats intuitively and stops when she’s full. Having dessert has never been tied to how much main course she eats. Recently my husband has started enforcing she clear her plate before s...

So I’ve been putting my baby on purées the past few weeks as she’s past 6 months now, and she’s had broccoli, sweet potato, carrot, sweetcorn and cauliflower. Thought I’d treat her to something sweeter today as I got told not to do it too much or she’d be fussy. So I gave her apple and she hated it 😂spat it out and…

Does anyone else’s baby just refuse to eat, it doesn’t really matter what it is she just refuses to eat, spoke to my health visitor about it and she said to get to try new things, but still doesn’t want to there is a screaming match every day about me feeding her.

My baby is 6 months and Easter is tomorrow. Just wondering if it’d be fine to give her a bit of milky bar since it’s Easter and people normally get chocolate. I just feel a bit bad that for her first Easter she wouldn’t get to have chocolate but i dont know if she’s too little. Obviously not lots just like one milky...

Anyone else feel like they’re not making much progress with weaning? Baby will be 8 months next week and we’ve been weaning since just before 6 months and she’s still just not that bothered by food 🫠 we’ve been doing a mixture of purées and finger foods, sometimes she’ll eat most of a pouch in one sitting and other…

Hi girls Would you recommend offering quorn products to your baby? I have a 11 month old, almost 1 year, she never had those meat substitutes but was wondering if it was ok to offer her as we (parents) eat regularly. Thanks

My 7 month old is so interested in our food and a hungry baby and seems so ready to wean. But putting his food in front of him he has 0 interest. He just wants to get out of his chair. Anyone else’s baby like this? It’s stressing me out before the weaning has even got started

Does anyone else's 3 year old all of a sudden seem to have gone off food? My son walks around all day saying hungry hungry, we offer a variety at breakfast and he turns everything down, lunch and dinners are pretty much the same. It's becoming so frustrating because he seems to be living on air and bread sticks.

Need advice My 5 year old used to be an amazing eater but recently she has just stopped and is refusing most foods and stopping after a few bites of food. She has had a few cases of gastroenteritis since Christmas and is waiting for a scan on her stomach to make sure everything is ok It's just really worrying me t...

My daughter is a stacker but just loves crackers. Been trying to introduce other things as it’s obviously not healthy to keep just wanting crackers. Any other snack suggestions? I offer cheese fruit and cereals too.

My 5 year old asks for something to eat every night right before bed, even if she's eaten an hour earlier. Coparent is insisting that it's all for attention and it's poor routine to feed her before she goes to sleep. She always eats, tonight it was an adult sized bowl of cereal (yes she ate dinner and has recently g...

He only eats serenity patches, egg, rice, pasta, fruits ,drink lots of milk. Won’t eat baby cereal, veggies, potatoes nothing at all. I try many different things with him, he ...
