More times than not my 2 year old will try and leave the dining table after one bird bite, honestly lives off air most days, nightmare!

I have only given my 7 month old homemade purées as I am too anxious to give her solid foods. I was planning on waiting till she has some teeth so I feel more at ease but I’m wondering will it effect her in the long run not starting finger food earlier? Is anyone else having this experience or any advice please

My 5 month old is currently on her weaning journey (due to doctors advice). However she only likes fruity pouches, custard etc. Whenever she had veg, even porridge she just pulls a face and spits it out. Do I just keep trying? Any advice would be great!

How long do your little ones feed for that are 5 months or older ?

We have a long walk home from school and my kids are so hungry after school lunches 4 hours earlier, so I’ve started having to bring a lunchbox of snacks every day. We have fruit, biscuits, crackers, breadsticks, yoyos, rice cakes, bars, probably more! Which feels ridiculous and wasteful. Plus I’m having to stop ev...

Hey mummas, Wondering whats the best way to introduce egg to your 7 month old. Since its an allergen do you introduce only a tiny bit or as much the baby wants to have (considering 1 egg)

When we first started weaning she would eat anything we gave her, but now she just whines until she gets fruit 😢 There are some things like pasta she will eat, but anyone else been through this? It is possible she is teething... But who knows.

This might be my most stupid question so far, but I want to buy my son some bubbles but every time I look for some it says not suitable for children under 3 years old - is it the bubble solution that is not safe or is it because the kits come with small parts that are a choking hazard?

My toddler doesn’t really eat while he is teething, which concerns me because at most throughout the whole day he will have one full meal. I offer him all three meals bf/lunch/dinner but he only picks at it. Again he is only like this when he is teething but teething can last weeks!! All he wants is milk and we are ...

Can anybody give me ideas on how to start the BLW? My baby is 6 months and I have no idea in how to start with food!

We’re just starting out with baby led weaning but I’m so anxious about choking and trying to get more comfy with it. What were some of your least stressful foods to start with? My daughter is almost 7 months with no teeth yet. All we’ve tried are omelet strips, sweet potato spears, and purées.

Is anyone elses toddler a very picky eater? He will only eat fruit, any kind of snack cracker, fruit snacks/strips and other kinds of snack foods, and the only meat he will eat is chicken and it has to be chicken patty or chicken nuggets and he only like two different brands of them🤣 Just wondering if anyone else…

My son is going through the terrible twos hard right now, he has started to not eat. Like hardly at all. I offer him food and he FREAKS out. Even when given what he asked for, he will NOT eat it. Like today, my MIL said he only ate muffins for breakfast. Ate two fries for lunch and refused dinner. Is this common? I...

I know it’s normal for kids to get picky. I don’t want to feed into it though. I made my 2 year old Mac n cheese with broccoli. She refused to eat it completely. She was hungry- it was her time to eat and because she willingly sat down to eat, but cried when she saw what it was and got down. She said she wanted ch...

I haven’t been able to feed my baby dinner. He eats breakfast and lunch but throws a fit during dinner. I worry he goes to bed hungry. Anyone else?

Anyone else's little one just completely gone off food or stopped eating it? She was a really good eater, 3 meals a day plus snacks. She would eat whatever we ate but now she will eat breakfast and barely touch much else the rest of the day unless it's to throw it on the floor. I don't understand what's changed. It'...

Just starting weaning now that my LO is 6m. We started with broccoli yesterday and today I tried a pea puree. She absolutely hated both , was constantly gagging and when i managed to actually get some into her mouth she wouldnt swallow any of it. Yesterday after the broccoli she threw up all of her previous milk fee...

FTM no judgement please. I know it’s recommended to start solids at 6 months but my 5 month old is very fussy with milk and keep staring at food when we eat. Some older friends told us they started solids when their babies were 4 month old, that was a few years ago. Has anyone started solids before 6 months and was ...

Does anyone else's baby stare at your food while you're eating? My little one has recently gotten obsessed with watching me while I'm eating, he will be fast asleep but the second a plate or bowl is in my hands he wakes up and while I am now a pro at eating anything one handed it's very unnerving having him stare ...

Hey, my toddler is so fussy with food. Any ideas for on the go lunches as I feel embarrassed giving her pouches out now she’s 18 months old. Thanks x
