Fussy eater

My 11 month daughter has suddenly become very fussy with food. Would eat pretty much anything prior. Has anyone else found this and what did you do to try and get them back on track! Thanks x

We’ve hit a fussy eating stage 😩

When I say my baby was a foodie they ate literal adults portions and loved food! Switch gone off and now not really eating dinner? Do you always offer a substitute? Don’t want to create ‘bad’ habits but do not want them to go hungry!?

This is my 10 month olds dinner

… let’s see how much he eats. The top corner is homemade bolognaise. He can cope with something more textured - but this is an older pot from the freezer. … and how much more easy peeler segments I have to give him.

14 month old not eating solids

We're having such a hard time getting our LO to eat solids. He'll have 5 bites or so of very limited foods and then he's done. Refusing most foods. So he's still eating a lot of formula, idk what else to do. Suggestions?

What are your babes eating?

My little girl just turned one recently and we’ve been having a hard time getting her to eat solids regularly. She will snack/graze, but rarely eat enough to keep her full. She’s still on formula with it being the majority of her “food intake” because of this. Is anyone else in a similar boat, and if so what are y’a...

Reached my limit

My son is 2. He will not eat. I’ve tried everything I can think of. He is hysterical every time food is put in front of him. I’m sick of hearing ‘just give him more of what he will eat’.

Porridge

I’ve started weaning my my baby with banana porridge in the morning and he seems like he hates it. It’s 3 days in and he screws his face up when he tastes it and bats my hand away when I try to feed him. Is this normal/should I continue with it?

Did your baby had a problem with eating meat for awhile?

My baby just turned 1, but started to eat solids around 8/9 months. I tried to give her nuggets, but she just used to throw it on the ground, lol. Anyways, now she's eating nuggets. Maybe she didn't like the texture and had to use to it?? Anyways else baby was the same?
