What are you giving your babies for breakfast? My son doesn't like porridge and is dairy, egg and gluten free 😵‍💫

My little girl is currently refusing to eat anything that isn't fruit or veg or yogurt. I'm worried about her not getting enough protein. I know veg have lots of protein in them and iron too (I'm a vegetarian but I'm raising my little girl on meat). I can't get her to eat beans or lentils either. Is this just a phas...

How many meals are your babies having atm? My LB will only manage 2 meals (breakfast and dinner/tea) we've tried to add lunch and he won't touch it 🤦‍♀️ he still has 3 8oz bottles and 1 9oz bottle before bed

can anyone give me some lunch time suggestions? i struggle so much coming up with lunches🥴 why is it so difficult?!😭 baby is almost 1 and is always down to try new things so im open to any suggestions!!

How much is everyone’s LO having in terms of solids? I offer my LO 3 meals a day but she has such small amounts and I don’t know if I should be worried/how much is normal?

I Feel like I only feed her veg, fruit and potato’s etc.

My son is almost 11 months old and struggling with quick ideas for lunches.. what do you give your babies?

This feels like a stupid question, but when people say they're just giving their baby a bit of whatever they're eating, what kind of foods are you giving them? We mostly eat like one-pot stews and things like veggie chilli or curries. How would you serve that to a baby for them to feed themselves? Give them a spoon...

What weaning bibs are every using? I use the coveralls, and the tray bibs too. My little one still seems to be covered in food after each meal. He needs a full clean and outfit change after every meal.

Hi, just wondering if anyone has advice or any tricks to help with a very sicky baby? Every feed he's being sick and then searching for food constantly. We've tried from boob, expressing and formula feeds to see if this makes a difference but it doesn't. Any hints/advice would be really appreciated 🙏

What dinner/snacks do you pack for your little ones when out and about during the day? Trying to stay off the pouches so much and start packing up a dinner now they are finger food eating more Thank you!

So I explained to the nursery where my little boy will be going in a week😫 that he isn’t fully BLW but he still has toast and sausage and mash and some fruit that is puréed. But he doesn’t have three set meals a day. It’s more breakfast and then yoghurts or melts sticks. And they just kept asking me if he’s had…

Ideas welcome For adults and the baby Small gathering at home Thank you

My 8mo refuses to eat any food. I’ve tried spoon feeding and finger food, nothing goes in. Sometimes he won’t even pick up the food. If he does get something in his mouth, he pulls the face like it tastes bad gags and spits it out. We know he has a dairy intolerance so we’re avoiding that, but it doesn’t seem to mat...

I have no idea if weaning is going “well” or not 🤷‍♀️😂 We’ve done 3 weeks but wow what a mess my lg makes 😳 she doesn’t really hold and eat anything herself, she holds it and waves it around and licks it but doesn’t actually really “eat” any. Except banana it always ends up on the floor so I don’t understand how to…

I just gave birth 3/11/25 and my son eats every two hours and he eats about 3 ounces we think. He’ll eat from me on both sides then sometimes a bottle afterwards because I think he sucks me dry. Is there any tips or tricks that aren’t the common or bad food ones😅

Best app to record feeding times

Is anyone else's toddler not eating. My daughter was going through this phase each time she was teething and then she started eating really well and now all of a sudden she's back to the same thing. I don't see signs of teething so idk if it's just a normal thing that happens with toddlers or if it's just her. She'l...

So I’m looking for snacks to eat that can help increase my milk supply and stash for when I pump as I plan on going back to work at the end of April (24th). I only ever get one good pump a day though I try pumping 3 times a day. If anyone can give me any recommendations I would appreciate it. I’m not allergic to any...

Hi there! My boy would eat everything and for the past few weeks it’s been hard to get him to eat dinner. He’s only been drinking his milk and he’ll eat his snacks throughout the day like string cheese, crackers etc. but when it comes to dinner he’s not interested. Is this normal?
