Would it be weird to ask to have no starter, I don’t think I would have told anyone by then as not even had my first midwife appointment yet, I’m 8 weeks today. 🙈 Chicken and smoked ham hock terrine…

Feeling guilty for giving my 2 year old Halloween candy last night

It wasn't a whole candy bar but a few minis, and he got a sugar rush and was running around like a crazy toddler. I never really give him sugary things especially candy when did you introduce your kid to candy? Am I over thinking it lol?

When do babies stop putting absolutely everything in their mouth!?

When does it end? My 13m old still puts any and everything he can in his mouth. I know its part of the process but its so frustrating sometimes😂 he will find the smallest crumb on the floor and proceeds to try and eat it😭 is this normal behaviour for a 13m old?

Can your babies feed themselves?

My little girl will me 9 months in a couple of weeks. We've been following her lead with solids. She prefers to feed herself but isn't good at it. She struggled to use a spoon (puts it in her mouth backward) and is just very difficult in general. Wondering what others experience is with a kid this age.

Has anyone else’s little one lost interest in solids after being ill?

My 10 month old has recently had a run of colds and stomach bugs and although she’s on the mend and seems fine in herself, she’s taken a backwards step with eating solids and seems to have lost interest. She was so good with her eating before now but just doesn’t seem that bothered since being unwell.
