My girl is 22months - all of a sudden won’t eat meals. The bib is an issue - she sees it and screams! All the meals she used to eat, especially her Fav pasta - it’s a full blown war to get her to eat. Anyone else?? Help??

Hi lovelies! I have an 11 month old and I’m working on weaning him off his milk. What’s your favourite recipes for anything?

Hello, is there any people on here who aren’t doing baby led weaning? We seem few and far between. My little girl is six months old and just wanted to get a feel of how much she should be eating, she is still primarily breast fed and she has half a fruit puree in the morning and then the rest of the pouch in the aft...

My bundle of joy is turning 3 and doing a party is lots of hard work, especially with a dairy free child who only like chicken and steak with spinach, not really into much. What can I make her separately and for the party. Any advice, Mama Bears? Ideas? Recipes, you name it i want it.

Ugh can someone tell me simple foods to feed my picky 15 month old? I’m talking about stuff that’s still kindof healthy but not some fancy ass meal. Alot of you moms make these extra crazy extravagant meals and I’m thinking how the hell do you have the time and money? My son is picky and I feel like he’s either not ...

Mamas I am stressed we have the sweetest happiest boy who just turned two. He has always been more of a grazer and select eater but lately it’s been hard to get him to stop playing and eat much. At his last check up he did not quite meet his growth curve and I am SO STRESSED. We did just wean so now we are making su...

Hi is anyone else nursery starting to refuse packed lunches being brought into the setting? As of September my son will not be allowed a packed lunch into his nursery and I have to pay for the meals the nursery will be providing for him.

I’ve been giving purées and making some out of my cooking as well for her, but I’m absolutely terrified to give her more solid foods because she can’t even have those little puffs anymore without gagging. This morning though I had a serious urge to make her pancakes but idk if she’s ready for that. Any advice on whe...

I feel bad because I gave my son carrot on Monday and broccoli on Tuesday but I didn’t give him anything yesterday or today. He turned 6 months at the weekend. Am I supposed to be giving something every single day? I don’t have anything other than carrot or broccoli in the fridge which is suitable to give him hence ...

Hi mamas, I’m feeling really exhausted and worried. My baby is 7 months old now, and I started introducing solids around 5 months—first with fruit feeders, then purées. But she shows no interest in food and often cries or struggles to swallow, even with very thin purées. She also refuses bottles and formula, and on...

My daughter doesn’t really do sandwiches and she isn’t into pinwheels anymore. Just never know what to make. Feel like she’s having the same thing over and over. She can also be very fussy!

My LG turned 6months on Tuesday. And I don’t feel likes she’s ready to wean. My first weaned straight away starting around 5.5months. She won’t bring food to her mouth or open for a spoon. She still has her thrust reflex. Do I keep trying to offer her food or wait a few more weeks? I’m quite chill when it comes to...

Hey moms ! I feel like I’m feeding my son the same things over and over. Drop me some nice finger foods or lunch/dinner combos. I need to maybe see if there’s something we haven’t tried yet. Or maybe just something I’ve never thought of. Or even possibly a refresher on something that’s been a while. Thank you.

I am at my wits end at the moment. My nearly 2 year old has been a great eater. Loves having his Indian food and other dinners.

Is anyone else having issues getting their LO to eat their dinner? I actually dread dinner time just now because my wee girl seems to just not be hungry. I’ve tried giving her an afternoon snack earlier in the day so she’s hungrier come dinner but that made no difference. Also tried offering different things. Sh...

What we all giving our toddlers for Easter? She doesn’t eat a lot of chocolate so I’ve got her 1 paw patrol egg that comes with a chase teddy and then I’ve got a little basket with her name on to put some little things in like a small bunny teddy and chick bracelet thing.
