Having a bit of a tough time with solids generally but we were making some progress... but now my daughter is teething badly and has some sort of virus and she is right off food (except milk). She used to be able to handle big chunks of banana, but today she had a piece smaller than a pea in her mouth and she worked...

I keep seeing comments with the phrase “food before 1 is just for fun” and I want to point out that this is a myth. A baby would be way worse off if they didn’t have solids before they turn 1. If you refer to paediatricians and nutritionists they will not say that solids are just a bonus. Exposure to solids is so im...

I’m at my wits end. All my toddler wants to eat is cheese sandwich’s and quavers. I give her choices for dinner and she chooses one… then cries when it’s put infront of her. She’s also saying she’s not hungry at dinner time and point blank refusing to eat. I’ve just her dinner infront of her and she’s crying saying ...

My 7 week old seems to be very uninterested in feeding and in the evenings is very fussy on the boob. How often should a 7 week old be eating, she is EBF and not looking for food.

Anyone else 19 month living of air? Literally will not eat anything!!!

They have got avocado, spinach, carrot and banana in them! Little one had no idea.

My 3 year old absolutely demolished this 🤣

Is this weird? My LO is going to his grandads tonight and we have to provide his food while he stays overnight. His dinner tonight and his breakfast and lunch for tomorrow. I’m sorry but he’s going to his grandads surely they can make something quick!! The lack of effort is just pissing me off and this is the last s...

Anyone elses toddlerr still crap at eating and have few things they actually will eat? My little girl will only eat certain things, if i hide things like fish in mash she will eat it but on its own she will say she doesnt like it. I dont know what to do! She will lick a few new things others point blank refuse

Does anyone use these a lot? I feel bad for using them but I’m so fed up of cooking meals for them to wasted yet she never wastes these! I don’t just buy any old jar/pouch/ ready meal I make sure they are rated excellent on the yukka app but I still feel bad. - my baby also won’t eat finger foods so I’m having to c...

Other than doing the obvious let her play with the food I don’t know what else I can do. Nearly 11 months now and still won’t do it. She just cries if I try and get her to put anything in her mouth. Literally offered her chocolate to see if she’d do it for that but still no. Will only let me feed her.

My baby is 16 weeks tomorrow and some feeds in this last week have gone down in time quite a lot - round 8-12 minutes total time when usually it’s 20 minutes

How are you guys serving fruit like apples and oranges? The solid foods app says apples are a big choking hazard and oranges have to be cut out of each membrane but I wanted to see if this is what others are doing? Also what about grapes? I’d like to give LO more fruit but worried of the choking risks

My baby is 4 1/2 mo. Pediatrician said we should and can start solids to help baby sleep and that it would be fine to start this early since we introduced formula ?? I didn’t start solids until 6 months with my first. Not sure how I feel about starting so soon with my second, but he is a pretty big boy, eats a lot, ...

Anyone else’s toddler become really fussy and refusing to eat anything over the last couple of days?😩

My son has all of a sudden just refusing to eat and drink anything were lucky to get him to have a snack through the day... Im unsure if its teething or a phase or if i should ring the doctors 😕

Hey all! I’m going out for dinner tonight, obs can’t have much for obvious reason! So I am thinking to get 2 starters and olives as they’ll be very small portions! Parmigiana and salad - if goats cheese can be removed if not pasteurised. What do you think? For reference - I’ve a had mostly a high reading before brea...

I’m getting really concerned my 10 month old has been at nursery for one month, he will not eat anything when he’s there! He’s a great eater at home, loves his food! He’s only there in the morning for now so it’s not too bad, but there’s only 6 mornings left before he’s going to be there 7:30-4:30/5pm Starting ...

I don’t get the whole when baby starts watching u eat or grab at your food they’re ready for solids bit. My lo grabs everything and put it to her mouth regardless of its food or not and she also watches me all the time even if I’m not eating. So how do I know the difference? Because she’s doing that since 3 months ...

Hi, might be a silly question but my girl was mostly puree fed up until a week ago. Now she's bored and is eating actual food so I'm struggling for ideas. She HATES vegetables as finger foods so just trying to hide as much veggies in stuff. I've seen loads of moms make pinwheels. What pastry do I use and does anyone...
