My little one’s nursery asked if she gets finger food at home as she’s refusing food in nursery that is more of a liquid consistency. She doesn’t use a spoon at home as she uses her hands. Should an 11 month old be confident when using a spoon? Are finger foods wrong for this age? Feeling like a bad mam!!!

Anyone have any meal ideas that can be cooked and frozen before baby arrives so we don’t need to worry about food etc when baby is here

Please can I have toddler cutlery recommendations? Are the Doddl sets worth the money? My one year old has decided he prefers to eat with spoons or forks rather than his hands and the silicone spoons we have are driving me mad picking up the scent and taste of detergent. He’s been using a teaspoon and cake fork fair...

We’re a week or so away from 6 months now and my little girl is showing increased interest in food that we’re all eating instead of puree. I’m a first time mum and the thought of giving her large pieces of food terrifies me, but she’s at the stage where she wants whatever I’ve got! Any tips for a mum who’s scared o...

My 10month will not eat breakfast! What does everyone else do for breakfast? Any advice? I feel like we are trying everything more than once. I don’t want breakfast to become a negative Experiance for him. Unless it’s a yogurt he just will not eat it. We have tried wheetabix, with his milk/normal milk/ adding pur...

Has anyone got any good breakfast weaning ideas that isn't weetabix, toast or baby banana pancakes? :)

I normally make my own, but we’re in the middle of renovating our house ready to move so don’t have the time (why we thought buying a “doer upper” would be great at the same time as me returning to work is beyond me😂) and bought some in our tesco shop. They’ve substituted with high protein ones, are they still ok…

hello, my little one got given the go ahead to wean on a dairy free diet (he has CMPA) by the paediatrician last week, so since then i’ve been giving my little one purées (DF porridge puree pouch) to get him used to eating (will eventually start BLW). however he just spits it out and doesn’t seem to actually be swal...

My daughter loves peas and carrots but isn’t that keen on the texture of other veg. Has anyone found good recipes that have hidden veg, especially things that are good to put in lunchboxes for childcare or keep in the fridge to add to meals?

I know each kid is an individual and amounts they eat in a day can vary. However, I just feel like my baby is always hungry bless him. He’s on the chubbier side which I’m not too concerned about but even if I’ve fed him a full meal the moment he notices anyone else eating or drinking he starts moving his mouth. It’s...

My sister in law is forcing her kids to eat. From bribing them (if you eat your dinner you will have your dessert) to calling them good or shaming for not being good if they don’t eat to full on punishment for not eating (removing stuff they like for example - No scooter for a week if you don’t eat). I have a degree...
