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...

We have a family meal at walnut tree farm today for a family members birthday. I imagine as it’s most of the family, it’s going to go on for a while. It will be first time going for a meal with a baby too! I have an 8 month old baby that is now on solids but doesn’t really eat a lot (most goes on the floor). I don...

I’ve had the hardest ride in this first year of my boy’s life…he got diagnosed late with severe oral ties after failed attempts at both purées and baby led weaning. I found out just a month ago that his tongue was so restricted that he literally could not manipulate or swallow food. 😭😭😭 He finally got the…

Any tips he’s not underweight or anything but he is on the smaller side any tips

My one month old has a really good latch and typically eats pretty well. Occasionally when I try to feed him, he seems really angry. He'll latch for like 5 seconds then let go and start crying and thrashing around. I would try a couple times, and if he couldn't settle down I'd try burping him or I would assume he ...

I’m at my wits end, I literally feel so defeated. My almost 2 year old boy is the world’s pickiest eater. Me and his father work opposite shifts and I’m thankful because we don’t have to put our son in daycare but I truly think this is what’s causing the pickiness. I work day shift and he works second shift, so I’m ...

baby girl is 5 months in a few days, doctor told us we can start solids but i feel like it’s not necessary right now, i feel she’s very content EBF… looking for advice/suggestions/opinions! 🥰

Would yall recommend to start feeding my 4.5 month baby cereal/oatmeal ?

I feel at a loss. My eldest is 8 years old. When I BLW him at 6 months he took to it like a duck to water. Ate everything and anything. To this day he is the least pickiest eater and I’m fully aware how lucky I am that he has such a great relationship with food. Now I know the whole food under one is just for fun a...

I was unaware of this until today, I make black pepper gingerbread cookies every fall. Gave the youngest kid (3) one to try and they licked off all the powdered sugar and tried feeding it to the dog. I quickly yelled no and called for the dog to back up because I didn’t know if the spices were safe. Luckily the dog ...

Im finding it really hard to think of different, easy to prepare and make meals for my baby for context I’m living in my family home and it’s very over crowded so I don’t get much time or space to prepare meals I’m trying so hard to make sure my baby is getting enough variety but worrying I’m not giving her enough.

Hi, I am weaning my baby tomorrow at 5 and a half weeks. We spoke with a health visitor and pediatrician and because my baby is struggling with reflux they suggested weaning. Just a quick question, do plates need sterilising? I understand about cups and spoons but do plates? Are they all suitable for microwave steam...

Just read tuna is a health warning for mercury levels. Do you offer your LO’s? Mine has this almost every week! Also does anyone buy low sodium canned tuna they can recommend?

Is anyone else really anxious about taking LO to a restaurant? They are super nosy so will not sleep whilst we are there and then start crying etc as they are tired so just makes me want to avoid them until they are older!

Does anyone know? Lol send me a link or pic if you have one. Thanks!

2 more months to be off formula I have no idea how that’s gonna happen any tips??

I am so proud of this dish because my baby LOVED it!

This weeks (or two) snacks for my little one! Found these in Aldi and boots I always like to get a different variety of flavours textured foods, both sweet and savoury options

Do your babies eat restaurant food already or do you guys still bring food out for them? Do you let them eat food with salt? I’m so conflicted.
