How many bananas do your toddlers eat a day?! And how many is too many?? My 14 month old will eat at least three bananas a day (amongst other food) and I’m just hoping some others are the same!

LO is doing really well on step 1 of the milk ladder. Third time trying and we’re finally up to 3/4 malted milk with no symptoms. If he passes this step, what new foods can we introduce?

I’m so proud of my 9.5 month old, she will eat anything that I put in front of her and recently I gave her a bit of avocado on some bread for her first taste and she absolutely demolished it 😁🥰

What’s everyone’s routine in terms of milk and food. What’s classed as a proper solid meal? Does your LO drink less?

So far he seems to be loving it! 🤞🏼 Any…
