I need ideas/suggestions for easy healthy snacks and lunches for 12 month old. I'm heavily reliant on shop bought snacks at the moment as I'm struggling to find things she will eat.

What portion size should babies be having at this stage? I feel like my baby gets full too quickly for example if using pouches will gesture she’s finished after only half a pouch 🤷‍♀️ she will have small amount of something else too but not sure if half a pouch is enough ?

What sort of meals do you give your babies for lunch/dinner? I’m running out of ideas 🤣

We're often out of the house for breakfast/lunch (my boy isn't really interested in eating breakfast until 10ish). I pack lots of snacks but I feel like they're just not that nutritional, especially as they are essentially his meals (baby crisps, snacks etc). I usually also pack fruit, but does anyone have any ide...

How are people eating dinner with their LO if they are going to bed at 7pm? My husband doesn't get home from work until 5.30 and I can't even start cooking dinner before that because my LG is so clingy she will just scream and moan, so by the time it's ready it's almost her bedtime. At nursery she eats her dinner at...

My son's pediatrician said I can give my son solids soon as he has great head control. Thinking of doing bone marrow as his first foods. Maybe followed by fruit eventually. She suggested grain like plain rice but I don't think that's as nutritional as a first food. What are y'all planning on feeding as a first food?

Anyones baby rejecting solids completely? She is just drinking milk Anyone gone thorough this phase? Im so damn stressed out

I did see a Mama post about it long ago and am curious myself. I haven't started either and had hoped not to till 2 but he sees our food and wants a 'taste' out of everything. I am just a bit paranoid to start. What are y'all doing Mamas? Do y'all let your littles eat anything and everything?

Recently I started trying to eat healthier, so I eat a little later than my partner and my son. Today was a little different. I made my meal a little earlier, but my son had already had a little something to eat, when I sat down to try and enjoy my meal, my son obviously came over and tried to ask for a bite (he's 2...
