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’. I can’t do that because all he wants is crisps. I’m also sick of hearing ‘he wont starve himself’ because yes actually he will. I...

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?

Baking powder and baking soda safe for under 1?

I’m finding mixed messages online when I try to search if it is safe to use baking soda and baking powder in things like pancakes and muffins for baby led weaning. Both these contain sodium which is what we are trying to avoid when we don’t add salt isn’t it? I’d love to hear about other mamas‘ takes on this. Are yo...

Toddler doesn’t eat

Basically my toddler doesn’t eat. I know toddlers go through a fussy stage but this has been months. Some days she’ll literally just have yoghurts. She won’t try anything new. I offer 3 meals a day plus snacks and she’ll just cry and refuse them. Do I contact the HV or the GP??
