I'm struggling! I'm not sure why, but this time around I'm really struggling to find a routine around meal times. My eldest is 13 and loves making her own food and snacks, so before baby came along we were all sort of fending for ourselves with no major routine. We ate what we had in the house, and when we were hun...

Burro bananas gained popularity when Dr. Sebi a renowned herbal healer brought to light the amazing nutritional benefits of this banana compared to the everyday cavendish bananas which are highly hybridized and gmo… Burro banana is higher in minerals and lower in sugar and very versatile and can be cooked green lik...

Got an air fryer for Xmas! Does anyone have any good toddler friendly recipes to share? Preferably incorporating veg in a sneaky way 😅

We gave our baby her first food this week and i was wondering how regularly should i now be giving her solids/purees. i read online one meal a day but should i now be doing 1 per day every day? it’s been less than a week since starting and she’s had 2 “meals”.

Just curious really, would love to hear thoughts My 4.2kg baby eats 4-5oz every 3-4 hours, from a bottle. Does anyone else’s little one eat large amounts too? Midwives aren’t concerned, he’s packing on the weight but I do worry about over feeding. Has anyone introduced a dummy by this age already, how often do you...

Sorry if this has already been posted but does anyone else’s baby just barely eat anything?! My little one just doesn’t seem to like anything. Throws most of it on the floor.

My 2 year old has literally gone off EVERYTHING other than snacky/ unhealthy food. Can’t get him to eat a proper meal, literally won’t touch anything we cook for him. (A lot of stuff he used to love!) any help/ advice?🤯

Does anyone else feel so overwhelmed by this?! I try so hard to think of well balanced meals for my LG, but she’s so fussy!! She used to eat all kinds of fruit and veg, but now she’ll only eat a handful. I feel like I’m failing 😢 does it ever get better?!

I have half of a butternut squash in the fridge...can anyone share any favourite recipes for their little ones? Mine is 18 months and no known allergies. TIA 🙏🏼

Hi everyone! My daughter is 12 months old in 6 days and she’s been hitting her milestones well but I feel like her fine motor skills are a bit off, I don’t know. It’s weird because some things she can do so easily. She can pick small things up and clap her hands, even on demand. But doesn’t know how to hold her ow...

Is it normal for first taste of food to be unsuccessful? Baby turns 6 months today so we've tried him on some Broccoli puree but he didn't seem very interested and didn't seem to like the taste! He even started crying! Do we just try another food tomorrow?

I thought my son was coming down with something but he seems absolutely fine in himself, he's eating fine and drinking water but flat out refuses milk, cries if I even offer. I thought it might be the bottle so I put some in his cup and that was a big fat NO as well so definitely seems to be a milk aversion. Yoghurt...

My baby is still only at 9.3kg, 17.5 months, a really fussy eater but we have 3 meals and snacks a day plus milk feeds (ebf) should I get him checked? Never sure what's normal

anyone have any advice? I started weaning about 2-3 weeks ago and baby just is not interested. She is showing all signs of readiness and is 6.5 months old but anytime I try and I feed her she shuts her mouth, I’ve tried multiple different options and a mixture of BLW and purees and just nothing seems to be working?...

Hiya, How is everyone going about dropping day feeds? My little girl starts childminders in two weeks and I need to drop her second feed of the day as I won’t be with her and I can’t express very much. Are you replacing with water and a snack? She already has two snacks a day and then breakfast lunch dinner which ...

Can anyone give me some simple but nice dinner ideas for adults? I’m so sick of keep cooking and eating the same stuff. I need some inspo for new dinners

Our son has always been fussy with food, but he ate much better between 6 -12 months old than he does now. He has plain toast or jam on toast for breakfast. He won’t eat anything with egg or any cereal (even chocolate cereal) he wont eat waffles/pancakes. He literally is living off jam sandwiches for lunch - som...

My MIL was round over Christmas and was horrified at the amount of food my son was throwing during meal times. It made me feel really bad about it 😢. He’s been doing it a while now and I just tend to ignore and pick the food up and say ‘no’ and put it in a separate bowl. It’s killing me though 🥲 when does this…

Also a recipe for fruit roll ups in the comments 🍓🍉🍒🍑🥭🫐 😋
