I’m finding it really hard to feed my 1 year old. I have tried everything pouches, home cooking, putting just pieces of food on tray, letting her feed herself. But she is really struggling to eat any type of meal. She will eat picky bits like veggie crisps or fruit in a soft feeder. But anything else I’m finding har...

My daughter loves to eat sometimes and then the other times, she just throws her food everywhere. Is she being overly picky or is this a phase thing?

My little girl has just turned 1 and a half and she's a total foodie. She loves fruit but I can't for the life of me get her to eat veg. When I started baby led weaning she would eat a range of different vegetables and seemed to really enjoy them but over the last 7 months she just won't eat them. I have tried blend...

Is this happening to you too? My 11 months old baby had a great appetite but for like 3 days now he's just been eating less and less. He doesn't mind fruit pouches or yoghurt and but something else he just eats a little and he's done. Thankfully he's still breastfeeding.

Hi ladies, my baby is turning 6 months in couple of days and I am looking for any tips on weaning. I have read and watched videos about it but want some advice from mums who has done it recently. I want to start with purees. Should I start with one meal a day? If so which meal should be the best? Appreciate your ad...

My little girl has tonsillitis now for the 3rd time and this time it’s completely stopped her eating all together! She hasn’t had anything solid since Tuesday (she’s had 1 mouthful of weatabix and spat it out), people keep telling me as long as she’s having milk she’ll be okay but I can see the weight dropping off h...

My daughter hates anything that isn’t sweet. She’ll have fruits, yogurt, her milk etc. But refuses to eat any real food, purées is a nightmare, I have to trick her into eating and it’s a massive fight (loads of spitting on her end lol) Anyone facing the same struggles or does anyone have any meal suggestions? I’ve...

We’re on the dairy ladder atm and want to try butter with little one but he also can’t have salt bcos of a kidney problem. Any recommendations for which butter we should use please

We started purées at 4 months and when he hit 6 months I started BLW and puree (here and there). We are completely BLW now but he plays with everything and most of it ends up on the floor or his lap. I’m assuming this is normal since he’s so young and he is learning and soon enough he will consume more and the flo...

My little girl is 11 months old, and since she’s started solids at 6 months she’s never really taken to drinking lots of water. she might have an oz or 2. with summer approaching of course i want her to be getting a good fluid intake. i have tried so many different types of cups and nothing makes her interested, unt...

Started to move from baby porridge to normal porridge but she's having none of it. Tried 2 brands. Adding sugar, fruit, fruit pouches. Nothing. Anyone any tips

What is everyone’s thoughts on food beliefs? My baby dad isn’t a Muslim, but he has very strong feelings towards NOT eating pork, he’s never set rules with our baby but he says this is the one thing he asks, is that I do not give our baby pork, he believes pork is dirty and unpure (which is true) Do I keep our son...

I need ideas for breakfast. I feel like we're in a rut having the same foods over and again currently we do 1 wafer, flavoured yoget or porage, and a pancake (not every breakfast) I need other ideas she's doesn't like banna on its own and she hates weatabix ( I've tried doing all sorts to it still a no-go) I'm tryi...

My baby has suddenly started crying whenever eating solids over the past couple of days. Even if it's a chunky purée. I can't work out if it's a pained cry or a frustration cry. Could it be hurting his gums/teeth?

My 8,5 month old baby is still only eating purees. This because I am so afraid of her choking and I don't know how to get past this. I told my healthvisitor but she was very insensitive and not helpfull. I have a fear of choking myself (I avoid eating certain foods and don't eat on planes or boats). I know baby's...

What cups/bottles are your babies drinking out from throughout the day? Also, my boy refuses water so much so we add a dash of juice.. We brush his teeth daily.

Hi! First time mom here…my one year old has suddenly started getting very picky about eating foods he previously LOVED. In particular, I’m seeing it happen with proteins. He tosses aside any protein and focuses only on fruits and carbs 😣 in the last week I’ve had to “hide” chicken in his rice or pasta just to get…

Have y’all been seeing these trends of mammas giving their babies straight butter, tallow, and whipped bone marrow? Obviously babies need lots of fat and fat intake should not be limited because it’s so good for brain development, but does that also apply to saturated fat? We’ve been giving him lots of avocado, egg ...

My husband's family is large, and we are expecting around 40 people. I have planned the desserts, but I'm still unsure about what to offer for the main food. What have you all done in similar situations, or do you have any suggestions?
