My little one only drinks 5oz per feed every 2.5-3 hours, sometimes he will drink a 6oz (maybe once a day). He really doesn’t seem interested in food but we try every evening with some puree and finger foods. Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing similar?

My LO has temperature today and does not want to eat or drink anything. Before he would at least take the breast, but since I’ve weaned him, I don’t even have that as an option. Any advice on how to trick them into eating? 😭😭

Anyone else’s baby only seem to like sweet food? He’s hardly eating anything ‘proper’, hardly eating anything at all really!! For an example, lunch today I offered him meatballs made with turkey, sweet potato, spinach and cheese with potato and broccoli ‘tots’, strawberries and yoghurt. All he ate was the strawberri...

So my daughter will be 8 months old on the 29th, and she has been on purées ever since she was almost 6 months old. She eats food twice a day for breakfast and dinner and has bottles throughout the day. She's done well the entire time, but for the past 2 weeks, she seems uninterested in breakfast. I'm not sure if sh...

My baby has just been on purées and ready brek but I want to try more proper food. I want her to have pasta and get it everywhere I think it’s the cutest thing in the world 🥺. BUT I don’t know how to serve the pasta please can you share what you do x

Hey! My little one is making me question my sanity lol! She will eat most things for dinner - she will eat any meat/veg/pasta/rice etc but breakfast time is always a struggle. She will only eat fruit/veg and natural yogurt. I have tried oats, weetabix, ready brek… anything other than natural yogurt and she just won’...

Hi, anyone else still got a toddler that BFs loads including to sleep and multiple times in the night and doesn't seem to eat much? I just feel like we should have progressed from this and I'm not sure if I need to try and do something about it or if it's still within the realms of what's biologically normal? He har...

Struggling for lunch ideas. We often have leftovers for a second dinner in the week so using it for lunch doesn’t work. I was doing ‘picky bits’ as we’re generally out of the house at lunchtime but given it’s colder now and she’s getting bigger I feel like she should be having a hot meal? What kind of things do yo...

Hey mums, My LG has started weaning, our HV said it's normal for them to spit the food out but she's had 5 lots of "food" first broccoli, then carrot (loved the carrot) then broccoli again and again carrot (second time she didn't like the carrot) she's just tried banana today & that got a screw face & spat out. I p...

Hi! Please could anyone share their milk & food routine? Thank you x

Does anyone have recommendations for good baby food steamer and blenders? I am struggling to choose one and would love to hear your thoughts on these blenders

When are you giving your baby pureè? In the morning or evening? My baby is not interested to even swallow any of it she spits it out.. wondering if she just isn’t ready yet or full at the times I’m feeding her ? Confusing

My toddler refused lunch and dinner at home yesterday and breakfast at nursery today. She has a tooth coming through. Is it because of that do you think? I can’t remember what she was like with the other teeth! Thank you

Hey, what does everyone get their LO when eating out? We probably eat out every couple of weeks so wondering if ordering him a kids meal would be ok? I know obviously there’s salt in the food but is this ok if it’s not regular? Not sure if I’m over thinking 😂

So my baby started weaning 1 1/2 months ago. We started with purées and now I started BLW. He is not a foodie at all😫 he likes BLW but most things he just squishes in his hand without eating, unless it’s like orange or cucumber which he can grab and put to his mouth. Can I give him everything? I’ve seen mums giving…

Anybody else’s baby not interested in food? He was 6 months on 8th June. He is now poorly on antibiotics so I have stopped it for abit as he isn’t even taking his milk due to being ill! But I can’t help but compare him to his sister, she took to it so well! & it just is hard to not stress 🙃

How do I stop it? Son is 2 yrs at the end of Jan, fyi. Sometimes the second I sit his plate in front of him, he's already throwing the cutlery or food, sometimes it's as he eats/finishes something, other times he doesn't want to eat any of it & just tosses the whole plate... There's no rhyme or reason 😤 It's…

My 18 month old randomly cries and throws temper tantrums at me quite often. This happens more during dinner or lunch as she on meal rejection spree these days. Today she cried for 30 mins during dinner. It was so bad that she kept falling off and crying constantly by the corner of our room. I felt so awful after th...

8 months old but he gags/chokes on foods so I have only managed purees that are really liquid for 4 or 6 months only but anything lumpy he can't manage but I have given puff veg crisps and biscuit in bits that he has made soggy enough to manage or yoghurts but I'm having a bit of struggle to try anything different a...

Please tell me I’m not the only one with a toddler that barely ever eats?? I’m losing my mind over here trying to find things he’ll eat and he won’t eat like 90% of anything. The pediatrician said his growth is fine and everything but as a mom it’s literally stressing me out every single day to the point where I’m ...
