My four month old LOVES food. I can’t eat anything without her trying to steal it. 😭😭There’s not a picky bone in her body she loves absolutely everything.

I don’t offer an alternative if my LO doesn’t eat what I give or much of it, I just end the meal. Is that bad? I usually offer a main with veggies / one or two other things so he will pick and rarely refuse everything but for example today he just ate the veggies and only 2 tbsp of the chicken and rice. I’m not offe...

Any tips on how to prevent ears from popping? My 15 month old still nurses and we haven’t been able to find a milk that he isn’t allergic to. The last time we flew I was able to get him to nurse on the way up but he didn’t want to nurse on the way down which resulted in him crying because of the ear popping. Would s...

Hi all, my 20 month old toddler is being extremely fussy with eating at the moment & it’s really worrying me. He seems to go through phases where he will actually eat really well, but that phase unfortunately doesn’t last long & it’s like we go back to square 1 where he just won’t touch anything! I try so many diffe...

Hey, what is everyone getting their baby for Christmas? Obvs will be around 14 months! Any ideas welcome! :) Side note, has anyone else’s LO started eating less?

Does anyone else’s babies love to stuff their mouth with food to the point they have hamster cheeks? Doesnt matter what my daughter has, she always has to have more than one piece in her mouth if shes feeding herself and if i tell her to wait then she kicks off at me 🤣🤣

I've just bought some baby rice and a few different pouches for my girl cause jm a bit nervous about BLW. What meal is everyone introducing food to? Eg breakfast, lunch, dinner? And what did you start with?

I’m struggling to find things to put in it that my toddler won’t eat or put in his mouth! He’s teething so his hands are always in there. What have some of you been using?! Help!

My son has had a cold for 2 weeks, doctor said he’s fine however he will not eat and it’s driving me to insanity. Is this the start of a picky eater?!

Hey my 7 month old is teething and doesn’t eat purées very well he wants to play with the food and doesn’t want to eat any hardly and when I try spoon feeding him he turns his head away but he does have a few melty sticks during the day. Anyone else going through teething and weaning? Not a good combo!

Do I allow him to chew? What’s safe to chew on. I’m so confused we werent (as kids) allowed to do none of this so telling him it’s okay is kinda hard so I guess I need to find things he can use to help? Recommendations he never when licked or chewed like this when he was a baby he’s 2 now 😭

My little girl is 6.5 months and a HUGE foodie. We do one puree meal a day and BLW the other 2 meals. I'm running out of ideas for food and am getting bored of preparing 10 meals a day. I'm a vegetarian and my partner isn't, our little girl will be eating meat when she's a bit more confident. Any meal suggestions wo...

Kind of a random one but what did everyone eat before their induction 🤣🙈

Any one gone through this and come out the other side or have any tips? He...
