How many bottles and oz and then meals/snacks does your baby have with examples? Not sure if I’m over or under feeding to be honest!

Can you give me some ideas for Advent Calendars for 2 year olds? He doesn’t have chocolate so I don’t want it to be with that so maybe like a healthy snack? I can’t be asked to make my own as I am very pregnant 🤰🏼 and I would rather buy him something. It doesn’t have to be with food it can be anything TIA

Is your toddler eating their 5 a day every day? My little boy is currently teething, and has been off his food. I’m trying my best to get his 5 a day in him, mostly by doing him a morning smoothie but I just can’t every day! It’s stressing me out! At the minute he likes something chunky that he can chomp on so pizza...

Hi mums, my little boy turned 1 last week and we’ve just dropped down to 2 bottles of cows milk a day- the bottle we dropped was our 3/4pm one, he has lunch at 12/1 and then dinner between 5-5.30, so I’m just wondering what everyone gives as a snack?

My 19 month old is barely having any of his meals lately. What are some nutritious snack options I can give as he loves his snacks

I’ve been seeing some saying 4 months with help sitting. Or 6 months. My pediatrician didn’t seem to be much help. She said I could but also to wait so I’m just wondering what other people have tried or their pediatricians might have said

So if you have an extremely fussy child, what do you put in their lunch box? I'm so tired of accommodating my son's fussiness. I make muffins or pancakes at 10 pm sometimes. I'm so done with this. I wish he'd eat sandwiches like other kids😩

Hey 👋 Wondering if anyone can give me some meal ideas for my 10 month old I'm finding it really hard to think of things

Anyone else’s baby not eating a lot of solids? Weaning has been a massive struggle for us with our girl as she’s only wanted milk up until recently but then again she’s no where near to eating 3 meals, she has a few bites here and there but wouldnt class it as a meal. I’m really worried as she’s 1 next month and sti...

My baby likes 1 flavour of puree. It’s getting me down. She refuses to try home cooked food. Will not entertain any other flavour puree. At my wits end with it.

Can anyone recommend the best yogurt for babies that have the least sugar?

Ive started to wean my baby by feeding him porridge. He will not let me put the spoon in his mouth, he wants to do it all himself. Should I let him just experiment himself? It’s been stressful! lol

My 9 months old is refusing all kind of solids lately And she only have two teeth nothing else popping out

What do your portion sizes look like ? My daughter refuses to eat any type of bread so I find it really hard to make her pack lunches 🙃 She’s been having hot dinners in a thermos ie shepherds pie, spaghetti bolognaise etc side of veg and fruit and a yoghurt but now she’s refusing to eat hot food 🙃

15 month old never hungry in morning, will drink milk so reduced from 8oz to 5oz, and some mornings I don't do any milk and breakfast usuallt takes 60-90 minutes of crying, trying different things, needing toys to distract him so he eats. Why isn't he hungry after not eating for so long??

We normally have toast/bagel/crumpet/pancakes for breakfast something baby can hold as she's not great with more liquid consistencies and wants to feed herself. Mum's who give a cereal for breakfast (porridge, wheetabix etc) are you feeding baby, letting them feed themselves with your help ie loading the spoon, or...

I don’t know what to feed my two year old anymore besides snacks , bacon, cereal and soup … I can’t get him to try anything willingly he starts to gag . Foods that he’s eaten before he doesn’t even have interests in. How am I supposed to get him to try new things ?

My son is 16 months & I still exclusively breast feed him. He doesn’t want to drink regular milk I tried every sippy cup or bottle you can think of. He doesn’t eat much solids. I feed him both solids and purées and he’s eat some but very little of it. How much are you guys either feedings you kids or giving them any...

How often are you feeding your baby solids I do at least once a day. Is that not enough?

This can be a little breakfast treat or you can still make it super healthy! This morning we made ours using weetbix and cows milk as the base ( you can use water or any milk) we used a banana flavoured yoghurt as a treat ( plain Greek yoghurt would be a healthier option) and basically any topping you want!! We did...
