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...

He’s about to turn 3 and has recently decided to never eat. Won’t even eat Mac and cheese anymore. It’s a battle at every meal and I find myself yelling at him every time. His grandma was just visiting and fusses over him constantly, I feel like he’s even more picky since she left and it’s so irritating. Anyone else...

Just a rant really about all the conflicting advice when we all really just need to follow babies lead! I really dislike the saying “food is for fun up until one” because in the next breath “at 12 months you hey should be on 3 meals with pudding and 2 snacks”. It’s not really just for fun then is it!

Butternut squash, chicken and sage risotto with broccoli. We had the same but added Parmesan, pine nuts and nduja - yum.

Can anyone recommend any cereal bars they’ve been able to tolerate? I’m sick to deal of meats/cheeses and basic nuts

My son is about to turn one but is refusing most foods. Has this happened to anyone else? We offer him different stuff and he wants nothing to do with it- only wants his bottle. He will eat some snacks, but just has no interest in food anymore. Could teething be impacting this?

I'm concerned about my 2 year old and his eating habits or lack of shall I say. He used to eat a good amount of breakfast and now hardly touches it even when it's the foods he used to love. Same for lunch and dinner. What am I doing wrong? Does he have snacks? .. he does but hardly eats much of them, so in a whol...

Anyone else’s 1 year old all of a sudden a very fussy eater? My little girl has always been a good feeder/eater but since her vaccinations she barely eats what I offer her! Trying not to get too stressed over it

My little girl eats every meal no problem up until it’s dinner time unless it’s what seems to be her favourite atm sausage and mash she will eat but will chew her food until it’s small and then spit it out or just play with her cutlery and the food, I’m not sure how to stop it me telling her no is making her do it m...

Has anyone experenced their LO go backwards with weaning? My 7.5 month old was doing well with finger foods but since getting his 2 teeth he doesn't want anything. Even puree are limited in what he will eat.

My daughter is 7mo and she still is primarily formula fed. We spoon feed her the baby rice cereal 3x/day so she can learn how to use her tongue properly etc. She just sprouted 1 tooth and I’m just not comfortable with solid foods. I only want to use purées for her right now. Any suggestions? ALSO, anyone else doing ...

Hi Mommas! What's your go to foods for baby. Ours is on 3 meals a day. Weetabix for breakfast. His main meal is lunch time which is usually a ready Ella's kitchen meal. Then toast for tea before bed at 6. Has rice cakes, melty sticks and yogurt aswell. But I'm worried we're not getting in the fruits into his diet. A...

My 18 month old has never had much of an appetite. For lunch today he had 2 ham sandwiches and a banana… This was what was left…

My doctor has just informed me at 4 month check up, that I can begin to feed my baby purée foods. I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around that, as all baby foods say 6 months. So I’m trying to wrap my head around that. What have you all done if you have given foods?

My 18 month has turned into such a fussy eater 😭 He used to eat and try everything and lately he sometimes won’t even try food. I don’t know what to do 😭😭😭

My little boy won’t stop throwing and refusing his food! Just don’t know what to do, he throws and refuses literally everything I give him, and now I’m worried he’s not eating enough. He’s putting on weight probably from milk and breastfeeding but food is a nightmare at the moment and I just don’t know what to do

Hi, Can you guys share some inspiration for baby lunches. Trying to give some variety. Doing a mixture of purées and baby led

Is anyone else’s child CONSTANTLY ill since starting nursery? Started with a runny nose and a cough, then an ear infection, then a virus and now he’s poorly again with what seems like bronchiolitis 😭 He normally eats so well but he’s just refusing most foods and will have the bare minimum of water - I’ve ended up…

Has anyone started weaning their little ones yet? My little girl has been following food for a few weeks but has just recently started leaping forward to try and eat whatever food I have in my hands. She’ll be 21 weeks on Monday just don’t know if it’s too early 😳 my eldest is 8 so can’t remember with her.
