How do is scrunchy/crunchy moms do Halloween? We do not do junk food/processed sugars in our house. We do cook alternatives. My LO is only 2.5 but she’s beginning to pick up on the gs. This year we did go trick or treating but we made some banana ice cream and took it with us. She did love it. We had been prepping h...

Hi I’m just starting to give my 8 month old 3 meals a day but I’m looking for ideas of what to do for lunch and dinner. Also what time do people feed there little ones throughout the day. Thank You xx

My little girl used to love porridge but has gone off this recently Has anyone got any good ideas for breakfast quick & easy

My mother in law for the past few years have done the kids in our family Halloween baskets which is super cute. Last year she made one more appropriate for my then 1 year old but he’s now 2 and the stuff she’s put in it sweet wise he won’t be able to have cause it’s too dangerous for him to eat such as gummies etc. ...

I am at my wits end with my little boys eating. He’s always been a fussy eater but since turning 3 it’s been next level hell. I’m talking hour long tantrums about not wanting to eat his tea. Asking for breakfast and then not wanting to eat it. It’s an absolute battle. He seems fine when eating at pre school. I’m ma...

My baby is 22 weeks. Are we counting 4 weeks as a month? Is she now 6 months old even if she was born on 27? I’m so confused — and thus holding off solids 🙃

I know. First world problems. I'm craving firehouse so badly with my normal order, which is a Firehouse Hero and I refuse to eat any other sub there. I also eat grilled ham and cheese sandwiches, but I don't know if it's healthy during pregnancy, even though it's grilled. I'm not looking for advice. I'm just bitching…

How are your baby’s doing with solids?Bean gets frustrated at the pace in which I feed her so I decided to let her try and she caught on so fast.

won’t get me any food. i don’t know what i want. told me to stop crying because it’s not that’s serious and it’s doesn’t make anything better. i don’t know what i want to eat either. UGHHH

What do you give your baby as finger food? I keep seeing all these recipe ideas on Instagram of finger food but I've literally just been giving bits of veg or fruit. Are people making little omelettes and things at this stage?

If any chocolate, which is the “better” to give a 15 month old?

My baby girl just turned 7 months and we’ve been doing baby led weaning and purees for about a month. My baby loves purees so far but she’s really struggled with baby led weaning. If she gets even a small chunk of food into her mouth she cries. Has anyone experienced this? She’s super interested in food so I thought...

My baby is 8.5 months old and we’ve been weaning him since he turned 6 months. We started with purées but he refuses the spoon. We’ve recently started finger foods but he still has the tongue thrust reflex and he just pushes it straight out again. He also struggles with anything soft such as banana / eggs / pancakes...

Hi Mommies! I have been reading some posts about mothers giving weetabix to their LOs for breakfast. I read about it here for the first time so went online to know some more… my question is.. is it healthy and safe to give to 8 months + infants for their first meal of the day, I don’t know anything about its nutriti...

My daughter is almost 17 months old. She use to be a great eater but the last couple months she barely eats. Her safe foods are no longer safe either. If you put food in front of her she will cry and throw it on the floor. Only thing we've managed is weetabix, cheerios, plain bread and fries. I'm at a lost as to wha...

Did you just give them it straight up without preparing over time with smaller foods? Or if you did work up to it with smaller foods over time what foods did you use? My son has two teeth on the top and bottom so I'm scared if I give him toast he'll bite a huge chunk off and choke

My daughter had a tonsillectomy and an adenoidectomy on the 20th. We’ve had a slow recovery, she’s been back in hospital with an infection but we’re back on the mend now. Anyway, since Sunday of this week, she has been non stop eating. And I’m talking like 8am-10pm eating. I’m not encouraging the night eating but ...

My son has an issue with texture and so he refuses to eat pretty much all fruit, I’m slowly finding ways to get fruit into him and bypassing his sensory issues however cucumbers I’m unsure about. How can they be served for our aged toddlers now? I feel if he can hold it in his had without it feeling slimy (so skin o...

My baby is badly teething and the only things I can get her to eat at the baby banana wafers or melty sticks, and a few bites of cold fruit or cucumber. The shop bought snacks are fine and very handy but pretty much empty calories so obvs cant do every meal!! Any ideas for alternatives? Im guessing babies like them ...

I see people saying it’s a phase or that they don’t need to eat as much now but he barely eats anything, sometimes just snacks. He won’t try anything new & would literally live off snacks if I let him 😫
