My son is on his third week of nursery and things are going pretty ok all things considered, but he is refusing to eat any solid food there. He eats 3 meals and 1 snack at home but will not touch a thing at nursery. I just wondered if anyone had experienced this with their little one and if anything helped? or did ...

My little girl is 6 and a half months now and has been having some foods, like smooth puree vegetables and fruits and some thicker ones and loves it. We decided to try some finger foods like really squishy broccoli. Carrots etc and she seemed to like some and gag at times. I’m terrified of her chocking and I do fis...

My 1y/o is refusing to eat meat. Can I sneak some ovaltine in his milk to give him protein instead? Ty!

My toddler is so picky she will not eat at daycare and she’s there for 7 hrs a day! I feel like she isn’t being encouraged to eat or they don’t care much because it’s about 10 other toddlers in her class. I thought her being exposed to other kids her age would make her want to eat like the others but it’s been 2 mon...

My son is 10 months old, he’s been on purées and baby food, but it doesn’t seem to be enough for him anymore Yesterday he kept acting fussy even after a bowl of banana purée and 9 ounces of formula, so 10 minutes later I had to make him another bottle which he drank about 4 and half ounces out of it until he was ful...

I was cooking and I put the ground meat container in the trash can. My 2 year old was playing with it. When I turned around I saw it and washed his hands. It didn’t look like he put it in his mouth but he could have. Do you think I need to worry?

We are going away to Cyprus for 11 days and my little girl will be coming up to 8 months when we go, I don’t know what to do about food. Do I pack enough pouches for the whole time? I know sounds silly but will there be stores where I can buy her food? I don’t know. Any recommendations

My husband recently started a new job with different hours. He gets home at 4 instead of 6pm. Every day so far (like 3 weeks) he has come home with food. Just for himself. Usually fast food. It often upsets my toddler cause dinner isnt until 6. My son wants the food especially french fries and such. He refuses to sh...

We’ve always had a well balanced combo of BLW and purées/ pouches. We used solid starts a lot and I’m aware 12 months is when you can start to serve food with little modification. I’m quite anxious around BLW still so I’ve been cutting everything into bite size pieces since 8.5 months. She eats a lot of different fo...

My son eats more than me some days 🤣 anyone else’s child a bottomless pit at the moment? Is it possible to overfeed them?

So what’s everyone’s opinions on starting to slowly wean at 4+ months? I know it’s a very hot and cold topic, some people think absolutely not till 6 months but why does some baby food/pouches have 4+ months on if it’s not advised? Please comment your thoughts 💝

Anyone else’s little one just eating non stop? I just can’t seem to fill him 🤣 He has 3 meals a day and half a million snacks in between. He also has cows milk first thing on a morning and right before bed. Is this a growth spurt thing? Or do I just have a baby with an insane appetite haha. He’s going to eat me…

My 9 month idk suddenly not interested in eating much... she'll take a bottle but we went from 6-8oz bottles to 4-5oz and not budging much... so her intake is down a lot... and I'm confused cause we haven't changed things up much so far as solid food. All other signs she's fine but idk ugh I just want her to dang ea...

About to start weaning so interested to know what other people tried first!

I have done BLW with my little boy since weaning him and he took to it so well, chewed everything properly and would eat anything, however the last couple of weeks I feel like we’ve gone backwards, he will still eat everything but I’m having to cut it up for him because it’s like he’s forgotten how to chew or will j...
