Making dinner tonight, for the kids, trying my 8 month old on pasta tonight. My 10 year old already has this sauce. Is it safe for bubba?

My baby seems to eat loads and I felt a bit embarrassed today because people who we were out to lunch with made it out to be a big deal. We were out with family who have a 22 month old. She ate half a sausage and nibbled at a cookie. Whereas my 17mo boy ate 3/4 of a cheese panini, a packet of crisps, a bowl of abo...

I recently found out I am pregnant again! But instead of cooking with a newborn I want to meal prep and have frozen meals available. Does anyone have any recipes or advice where I can just heat up without cooking? Thanks!

Do you guys serve your baby fruit purées cold or warm them up?

What are y’all feeding your babies? My daughter is severely allergic to eggs!

Have you all done puree food at first? I’ve always preferred giving my daughter stick foods so she could explore the texture. Don’t know whether i am a reason or not but she prefers finger food over puree is that normal for a 7month old to not really try to eat puree at all?

Hello everyone! Manu of us started or starting soon to wean our LO. I am vegetarian and I would like to wean my little girl following a vegetarian diet. Is any of you vegetarian and wean baby before? What protein chart did you follow?

I'm currently 30 weeks pregnant and thankfully, I'm able to keep food down but my hunger has been increasing the further along I get. But dang, my toddler keeps asking me for food when she has food in front of. We're eating the same thing!!

My husband keeps encouraging our child to tell me to "chop chop." He thinks it's funny because he thinks I'm slow. I think it's teaching her bad manners. Thoughts?

Hey so my baby girl is about to be 10 months this month & she will not eat baby food! She doesn’t eat meat or cheese & is breast fed! Any pointers? Doesn’t drink bottles or any type of juice. She prefers water & breast milk. She’d just rather eat real food & she only has 2 teeth so I don’t like giving her too much &...

Heya, I've been a bit nervous with blw and been giving my 8 month old mainly purees and smaller things until now. Please can you let me know if the below is cut OK. He managed most of it ok and chewed on the cucumber but want to check if I need to change anything. Thank you

I want to make a cheese sauce with butternut squash and would like to add nutritional yeast… can she have that? Thanks for your advice!

Hey guys, is it just my baby who’s not eating until now? I’ve tried purée but he just spits it out. Baby led weaning also not interested. My LO is exclusively breastfed and refused formula when I tried. Is it just me?! 😩

We started our weaning journey at 6 months and it is going well so far. We moved quickly from purees to mashes and my baby actually prefers textures. She has tried a wide range of veg, fruits, fish, meat, etc and we introduced the main allergens without any issues so far. We do a combination of baby feeding herself ...

I know harassing is a strong word but I feel like it’s practically that now. They’re obsessed with trying to get him to eat and ‘finish his plate’. I’ve explained to them 100 times that he doesn’t need to finish his plate. If my son had a serious issue with eating then that’s a separate issue but he’s a toddler, s...

My almost 7 month old is just not interested in food at all. I’ve tried Blw and purées, I’ve tried so many different foods , I’ve tried being consistent in one food and he’s just not having it. He’ll open his mouth for the first bite but after that he will seal his mouth shut. He had banana this morning and had som...

What’s better to serve to an 8 month old? Fusilli pasta or penne? Tia 💕

My girl is on a fruit strike at home right now. What are some creative ways that I can incorporate fruits into meals without them just being there. Like today she had mashed strawberries in her weetabix but other ideas would be helpful.

He was always a fussy eater but it's become insane. He won't even eat pizza and hates anything you'd assume a kid would like! I've already given up on healthy options. I baked chickpea and banana cookies for him which he hated. I just noticed he has his molars and most of his top teeth all breaking through at the mo...

My LG is 5 months old in a few days & has slept through the night right from the start. She has always been a ‘little and often’ eater and still only takes 5oz at a time but has started waking in the night for a bottle. Would you take this as a sign she is hungry and start giving her some rice? I am reluctant to spe...
