Anyone else’s 15 month old stop eating as much as they use too?

Feel like it’s a silly question, but what do people do for lunch and stuff if you’re not at home? First time with my 9 month old out yesterday, all I could think of taking was a banana, yoghurt, cucumber and little crisps. Need inspo!

Hey, my son has been doing really well with purées. He averages about 6-8oz of solids including proteins, fruits, veggies and whole grains. I’ve been introducing some baby led weaning. Looking for some new ideas, what amount/how much to offer per meal time. He doesn’t quite have his pincher grasp yet, but he will se...

My son all of a sudden the foods he loves doesnt like anymore and we try different foods with him and he goes eww and wont eat it doesn't like sauce or gravy now either just plain like chips i give him veg he goes eww i say yummy he didn't eat his pasta which he usually loves i dont give him too much snacks before d...

Just looking for some new ideas really! She’s quite an open-minded eater currently (touch wood it continues), she’ll at least try things so we’re not fussy with any suggestions.

What's everyone's feeding and milk schedule like now? I'm struggling to get my little one to finish bottles and eat food. The only meal he's really eating is his porridge at breakfast then nothing else really. He picks at food at most so feel I need a shake up of our schedule

Is anyone else having trouble introducing solids or have any advice? My first was totally fine from the start and took to it well. This baby is gagging and choking on every little thing even like the softest over boiled sweet potato, I’ve had to do back blows twice already now and it’s terrifying me. I really don’t ...

Have you gave sweets and juice to the toddlers, yet? And if you did, why did you? I am genuinely curious. I haven’t, yet.

My 2.5yo daughter has been on a bit of a food strike lately. In desperation her Dad put “magic” sprinkles on her tomato flatbread the other day and VOILA! Fixed. Now she’ll eat every drop of her food if it has some “magic”! I’ll take the little victory till she’s back on her food normally ☺️ today’s sprinkle surpr...

Is anyone else thinking BLW was just pointless now I’m getting toast lobbed off my head most mornings 😂😂 finding going back to spoon feeding just to make sure he’s eating something instead of loving the splat noise it makes hitting the floor 🤦🏻‍♀️

Does anyone’s toddler still do this? He stopped and started doing this again with literally everything, play doh, tissue, who knows what he’s being eating at nursery. Is this something of concern and I should check it out at the doctors?

Looking for lunch ideas other than bread based things like toast and crumpets please?

What are we feeding our toddlers for breakfast? She has porridge everyday at the minute but feel like it’s starting to give her the ick. She also won’t eat bread 🤦🏼‍♀️

This may be a silly question but I’m very cautious with my 6 month old 😊

So my baby is 11 weeks old on Wednesday and has started to eat her hand. Finding this hard to now know when she’s hungry cause she’ll making me think she hungry all the time. I know it’s a new thing cause she’s found her hands but does anyone else’s baby do the same? How do you stop / figure out what they actually w...

My LB will be 7 months next week and I’m just curious on what everyone is feeding there LO?, I personally dont like the idea of ‘meals’ as such but I’ve been giving him tastes of things (broccoli, potato, butternut squash) and little snacks like melty sticks etc, I’m trying to do BLW but it’s harder than it seems 🙈…

My toddler has been latched truing to drink for four hours now and I'm knackered, I offer milk, juice etc but he just wants to continue and try get milk from me, it's not happening at moment and he won't understand no He's screaming and crying and I'm so tired and annoyed, this happeneds several early mornings a wee...

16m old randomly decides they don’t want to eat anything I offer at all. Today I could only get them to eat a few pieces of turkey and like three large gulps of a veggie smoothie I made. We tried all their favorite snacks and they just say no and throw a fit. Anyone else? What to do !?

My boy has a sensory issue around food My little girl copies him now she’s picky Every meal I make *every** (no exaggeration) goes in the bin Why bother ????

hi, my little girl is 8 months old and we’ve weaned her from the day she was 6 months we’ve never really had a strict routine with her everything’s on her terms including when she eats and i don’t really do breakfast dinner tea i just offer her something every time we eat however she’s just not interested in food a...
