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.

My son is 8 months and has been on pouches since 6 months. He eats them really well, but I’m so nervous to start him on ‘proper food’. I feel like I’m letting him down. He has had toast, crumpets eggs for breakfast, but it pretty much ends up on the floor. For lunch and tea, he has pouches and a yogurt, which he lo...

Anyone else not yet given their toddler juice? My son drinks water & milk and I’ve never offered juice just because I’m worried about it being bad for his teeth. I’m starting to think I don’t want him being the odd one out as he gets older and not really sure when to introduce it

We've been buy seperate unsalted butter for babys toast/cooking/sandwiches. We as a family use Lurpak but don't want to use for baby due to the salt. What do you use? Am I overthinking it now she's 11months old can she have lurpak? Thanks

What time do you feed your LO’s dinner? My LO is 18 months and has dinner at 5pm, wondering if that is too early.

My son has never been the best eater and it always trying to get on the boob. He started to get better around 10 months but has just turned one and is hardly eating anything! He will have a small yogurt a day and a bit of fruit and other than that he will just try get on the boob. I try offer multiple snacks and sip...

Just mix everything together and bake, ready in just 20 minutes :)

Using virasoothe, piriton and calpol. Anything else I can do to help her please? Right before her 2nd bday as well ☹️ does anyone know if oat baths help?

Hello mamas I’m undecided on which would really help my LG as I’d love her to mix up more by January. So which would you prefer? Please help,.,, with reasons Thanks mamas

Those of you doing a party… what food are you doing? For the babies and adults?

Has anyone got any little ones that are dairy free? My little girl just finished a course of quite strong antibiotics and since she cannot seem to tolerate any kind of dairy? I haven’t heard of this before but apparently quite common. She’s really missing her treats 🙁 can you let me know some dairy free treats…

So we are heading to Disneyland Paris next week. We haven’t paid for any food packages so have to sort all meals ourselves and we don’t want to spend a fortune. I plan to take weetabix and croissants for breakfasts but what other things can I take for lunch and snacks mostly for little one as I’ll cope with just bre...

Baby got sick last week and had chesty coughs and mucus. She’s getting better now and been drinking water but lost her appetite completely and rejects any kind of food, even the ones she used to love. I’ve been breastfeeding her on demand but worried as she hasn’t eaten solids in the past week. Is this normal?

What do you feed your 9 month old for lunch? Breakfast I do, porridge/Weetabix and tea I do a full pouch/jar of something but struggle with lunch ideas

Anyone else in the trenches? He's at nursery two days a week and eats absolutely everything there. When at home he just wants fruit and snacks, it's getting so frustrating and upsetting now.

My LO is 19 months and the past 3 days he just wanted fish for dinner doesn’t want scrambled eggs in the morning anymore doesn’t want pasta doesn’t want anything new just wants to keep having the same and not eating much either ….

We’re on day 4 of weaning & my baby hates everything :( we’ve tried carrot, broccoli, cauliflower and green bean purées mixed with my milk but he ends up hysterically crying! Has anyone else had this?

Ok guys … how❓❓❓ Think we’ll stick to puree / mashing and finger foods 🤣
