What do you pack in your child’s lunch box for nursery for a fully day ?

Is anyone else’s little ones really bad when it comes to food? My son turned one last week. And he’s just terrible with eating! He’s such a fussy eater and whatever I give him he’ll just fling most of it on the floor. Or he’ll leave it in his mouth for a few minutes then spit it out. It’s driving me crazy!

My son is 2. Thursday he spent the day throwing up and only wanting half a banana and milk. Friday he ate half a banana for breakfast, nothing for lunch, and I had to basically bribe him to eat half a McDonald's small fries at dinner. We bought him a happy meal hoping that it would get him back to eating something a...

Hey! Wondered if anyone had started getting LO to help with making meals or food prep or baking. Looking for ideas for stuff to make with my son that is totally safe to eat raw in case he has a munch a long the way and also really simple and easy for an under 2 year old. He doesn't really have much understanding of ...

Hi!! Does anyone know if we’re allowed to give babies bone broth? I know it’s great health benefits for adults and looking for a stock to heat chicken and food previously frozen. My HV suggested using gravy but unsure of the salt content. My son is nearly 8 months old. Thanks in advance

My baby got approval from her ped to start solids and I’d like to start them too to reduce the likelihood of allergies. Solid starts though and BLW seems to be better started at 6 months so I’m curious for those who started solids before, did you stick to thin purées only? Or how did you do it?

When did you increase to 2 meals?

My LO is 9 months and has completely stopped eating her meals, which she usually had 3 times a day. I have to tiny bit force feed her throughout the day extremely patiently and then she would finish that one meal which she ate within 40 mins. Also, her milk intake has reduced significantly too, she use to do 3-4 bo...

Hey is anyone else baby not interested in using a spoon to feed themselves yet? My 14 month old can hold it but doesn’t seem to want to feed himself. When I’m feeding him things like yoghurts and porridge he sits with his mouth open waiting for me to feed him. Has anyone got any advice on how to get him to start usi...

Can I introduce spicey food to my 7 month old? I am making chilli con carne for tea. Can she have some blended? Also can I give her rice?

So my little boy has just turned one!🥳 and we’re trying to transition him to cows milk from formula (a challenge!) but he’s so hungry in the morning I feel like he needs a little snack when he wakes. The last 2 mornings we’ve given him his cows milk and a banana but he’s still hungry! His nursery only gives…

Going nandos tonight and don’t fancy cooking a separate meal to take with us for baby? But also feeling guilty about the fried chips. I know there are other options but can’t see her eating it tbh, she loves potatoes lol

LO is 24 weeks today and we’d like to introduce Kendamil porridge this weekend. Which cutlery and bowls did everyone buy for baby? Is there particular solids or purées that worked well for your baby? Do I try to give food once a day to start with? Any advice and guidance is appreciated!

Has anyone tried it? Any good reviews or cautions?

hello everyone! my 15 month old has been refusing to eat. he won’t eat off a spoon, he won’t eat anything but bananas, waffles (sometimes), french toast stick (no maple), breakfast sausage and his favorite snack cookie. how can i teach him to stop refusing other foods. clearly breakfast is his favorite but literally...

Does it contain cows milk and sugars ?

Any good weaning charts or websites that are good to refer to? My LB will be 6 months soon and looking for good tips / guides to help with weaning /solids etc. Thank you 🙏

Does anyone give their babies things with sugar in?

Any one else 7 month old not really into foods yet when trying to introduce.? My son is breast fed and seems to only want that and will occasionally try bites of purées.

My little boy is coming up 14months has been ebf and we started to wean him doing baby led weaning at about 7months as he was so independent and would eat better by himself but he has got fussier as the months have gone on and will hardly eat anything. Ive tried making loads of different things but he will just thro...
