What snacks is everyone offering? Feel like we have the same ones over and over again. Must say I do have a fussy toddler who throws a massive melt down when offered something he doesn’t like the look off

Hey mamas how many Oz are you feeding ur babies? Mine drinks 6 but doesn't seem hungry but tries to eat anything he can get his hands on. So do I need to up him or just keep him at that. He's also on purees.

Just need help! Feel like a bad mother, basically I have a 1 year old and I'm struggling to let him go on to solid food because I have a massive fear of him choking 😔 I went through a very traumatic time because my brother passed away from choking 😢 now I have the biggest fear ever , I give him baby food like 12m…

My baby boy is 7.5 months, he's exclusively breastfed and it's on the 99th percentile weight wise (nearly 11kg). I tried to give him first food when he was about 6.5 months, but he never really wanted it. Since then I'm trying various things, purees, yoghurt etc and he's not having anything, few days ago he ate a ti...

Hi My baby is 10 months and still isn’t particularly interested in actual food, he still much prefers to have a bottle. Is this normal or is there something more I should be doing?

I’ve noticed about a week ago when I gave my toddler some buttered bread that he was only eating the butter and leaving the bread. He then kept asking me to me top up the butter and just kept eating it off the bread. It’s now turned into a full blown obsession. If he sees the block of butter out he asks for it lik...

We're doing a mixture of purees and BLW and have been doing purees since 4 months. Curious as to how much food your little ones are actually having each meal as I am not sure if my boy is eating loads or nothing compared to others 🤣 Our routine is: Wake - 7oz Bottle Breakfast - Porridge (huge bowl!) 10am - Snack…

My son has tea at nursery at 3.45 and then a snack when he gets home at 6pm. He then has 8oz formula before bed but I want to cut his formula out now but worried he’s going to be hungry. Are we cooking our babies proper meals after nursery due to their nursery tea being so early??

My lo is not eating as much as he used to. His appetite has significantly decreased. I understand his taste has changed but I try to offer different things to see what he likes. But it is very inconsistent. I am mostly worried because he is not at a good percentile on weight.

Anyone else hungry all time? I am breastfeeding and I am never full and always hungry, I would like to lose some baby weight, anyone got any ideas of satisfying snacks? My baby has cmpa so I am dairy free

Has anyone ever experienced this with their baby? Did they get better and were there any lasting effects? Just found out my 1 year old may have rickets and he’s just started a higher dose of vitD, iron and multi vit. The dr didn’t seem too concerned but said since I have been ebf he probably didn’t get enough v...

My little one is really off her food but we were on puree as she didn't go for baby let weaning but she has now grinded on the breaks and today she was stealing chips off my plate so I gave her them for dinner and she lost mind....stuffed her face. Now I don't want her eating chips all the time, any suggestions? H...

Anyone working on trying to get their baby to try 100 foods before 1? My babygirl started purees at 4 months, then solids at 6 months, but she started getting this blotchy red rash on her face sometimes even on foods that she hadn’t before so it kinda made us take a bit of a backseat on trying a lot of new foods. No...

Can anyone recommend any slow cooker recipes for the family and my 8 month old to eat? I’m having the kitchen redone and will be struggling for a week to do fresh meals so looking for some easy slow cooker and air fryer recipes.

Where does your child eat or ate at 3 years?

Just curious because I don't think my little one is eating enough. Can you give me examples of what your baby finishes in a typical meal? TIA x

I have oatmeal strawberries and bananas or at least access to them is it better to buy this pouch or make our own with my WIC benefits someone showed me this same person showed me this and a few other foods

My daughter has never been great with food but this is next level… she is living off fruit and yoghurt. She won’t eat any other food, I’ve been giving her a multi vitamin to make sure she’s getting enough everything she needs, but I’m getting so stressed… she takes one bite and is done with everything on her plate… ...

Does anyone have like a list of things they started offering their LO when they started weaning? Need some recommendations, don’t know where to start from! and how many times a day do you feed? My LO is 6 months now.

my almost 13m old is still uninterested in solids most of the time and only wants milk. is anyone else in the same boat? he’s not eating enough. i don’t know what to do.
