My 8 month old is a nightmare to feed and dont understand why as she takes her bottles no problem. Breakfast isnt bad but I think thats because shes so hungry after going 12 hours without food. Lunchtime is touch and go at the moment anyway we havent found things that she likes and are able to chew and swallow. Tea ...

She won’t let me spoon feed her or attempt to do it herself. Same with the dipping spoons. She plays with finger foods but hardly ever puts them to her mouth. The only things she goes for are strawberries and melty puffs! I’m sure the only answer is to persevere but I thought we’d be doing better than this six week...

I’m literally at my wits end, my little one is 16 months old, he will not eat anything at lunch or dinner. He always finishes his weetabix in the morning but everything for lunch he throws on the floor and at dinner time he kicks off in the high chair, refuses to eat anything (even his yogurt) and if anything goes i...

Mums, please some advice! Since 6 months old, I’ve been trying to wean my first baby boy. We are now on 9 months, and he is continuing to refuse any form of solids! Whether it’s puree, finger food, he turns his head and grizzles! He refuses to open his mouth, now and again will try things like yoghurt but nothing e...

What kind of things are people feeding they’re nearly 9month olds?

Is anyone else’s baby still heavily reliant upon their milk? My little one is such a fussy eater and I’m concerned that come one when we are supposed to stop the formula he’s going to be so hungry. I’ve tried everything but he just throws his food around and doesn’t eat it!?

My little girl will eat veggies at nursery but won't touch them at home ! Any tips/ideas

So my boy is 24 weeks which when googled it comes up he is 6 months old other say he is 5.5 months old. He is trying to grab our food so I feel he is ready to start eating but not sure if I should wait a couple of weeks or just start. He was born 17th may. What's everyone else doing?

I’m aware babies can’t have honey, but just curious if that also applies to honey glazes? We’re having a honey glazed gammon for dinner as part of a roast and just wondering if my 14 month old can have this as well? Or should we stick to the veg for her? Thanks :)

My son is 16 months old, he much rathers food he can hold, so he will eat sausages, home made sheekh kebab and burgers, potatoes that are roasted or chipped, any veg, chicken cut into strips and similar.. he is will refuse egg in any shape and form, he doesn’t like muffin/cake like stuff. I’m just looking for other ...

18 month old hasn’t had dinner 3 days in a row now.. and not for us trying! He just has refused everything we’ve given to him. Even did a large gap in between lunch and try to avoid giving him snacks and still doesn’t want anything! I think he could be teething slightly as his bum has been really sore as well.. but ...

Looking for some advice. My LO will be 9 months on the 11th November. He loves purée fruit, yogurt, mashed fruit, rusks mixed with a bit of milk, then thinks like snack a jack type things. But will not eat anything else. I’ve tried scrambled and fried eggs, purée food like meat and veg, the 7+ month Ella’s kitchen p...

Tried the whole sardine fillets as finger food like it says on solid starts app. But they’re super dry and not great on their own aren’t they 😬 In end mixed with mashed avocado and mayo (think ideally would have used plain yoghurt but haven’t got any). Is this okay as a meal would you say?

Any advise on cooking with a newborn ? Every time I try he wakes up screaming for me, my partner can cook but I miss my cooking.

My LO is currently refusing food unless it's 2 particular things (chickpea puree with couscous for lunch and potato, leek and cheese for dinner) if I even try to give her something remotely different she'll spit it out and refuse to eat. Anyone else experiencing something similar to this? How do I get out of the ser...

My son for the last few weeks just isn’t eating anything unless it’s yogurts or jam on toast. Won’t eat any lunch and dinner is a big struggle, won’t eat anything at all, has always refused pasta, rice, and veg unless it’s sweetcorn but now won’t even eat that. I’m struggling to get him to eat any food at all. I cry...

Hi everyone. My LO has a cold/ bad chest atm. She seems to be unwell often due to being in nursery. However this time she will not eat a thing. Were on day 3 of refusing EVERYTHING. We've tried her favourite foods, new foods, smaller portions, little and often, I'm just at the end of my tether. I am sick with worry...

My 4 yr old will skip meals if she doesn’t want what I cook and I know how to cook good not to brag but most recently she skipped dinner because she did not want cheesy spaghetti 🍝 for dinner and it was not spicy at all…her go tos are chicken nuggets, pizza and mac and cheese and PB&J…she loves chocolate/strawberry…

For those on 3 solid meals a day,what times do you give your babies their meals?And what times do they wake and go to bed?

So I bought some snacky food and started eating it and it said it was out of date on the 31st of October but I'm 6w 4 and will the baby be ok
