Sometimes we'll have a treat after dinner and I usually give my toddler berries instead. Occasionally we'll give him reduced sugar custard. He has had ice cream at his grandparents house a couple times but I've never given him it. I'm wondering how often you offer these types of foods?

She will eat like a few chips, drink her milk (pedicure), but rejects everything… I need help…

I'm a little stressed. I've been referred to OLIVE for my little girl as she has gone up two centiles since birth. The health visitor suggested I am overfeeding her, but she is EBF, and the Midwife said you cannot overfeeding a breast fed baby. For reference she feeds every 3-4hours. She was 7lbs 1oz when she was bo...

He'll eat 2 or 3 bites of his meal then ask to get down, if I take him out his chair and leave his meal within reach he will still eat it. It just seems he doesn't want to be in his highchair anymore? I'm not really sure what to do?

My baby will be coming up to 6 months soon what did everyone start with? Porridge, veggies, fruits etc? Also can people share their weaning timetable so I have a guide please? First time mum. I have been looking online and just getting too confused and overthinking. Thank you

My baby is just starting with solids recently. He's a supported sitter. Can I mix two or three vegetable purees or fruit purees while giving milk to him. Also, what are all the options for solids to him. Can someone help me. Thank you

My daughter (2 at the end of Jan) has basically stopped eating. I usually make sure to offer her a safe food with meals, but now unless it’s cheese or fruit she basically will just scream and cry for cheese or fruit. I’m starting to actually worry about her health and I don’t know how to go from here.

My baby is about to be 1 years old. He eats some things but I really need to be offering more. The doc says to get him off of baby purees mostly at this age. Chicken salad?..Can I give rice and noodles? Is that safe..Cooked fish.. like cod? What can I season his food with? Prob not salt right... I'm a little lost. ...

At 7 months old my baby eats mushed up food vegetables, pasta. Is this okay or should they be eating more solid foods? As I see online, some babies will be eating pancakes, toast and munching on whole items EG broccoli

Hello, my baby is 4.5 months old. She's been having a lot a reflux since she was born and lately one of the doctors suggested to maybe start solids.. but I'm not sure. The baby shows a lot of interest whenever we're eating or drinking but she can't sit on her own. And now I'm confused what to do. When have you start...

So last night my 13 month old threw up her dinner. We think it was due to over eating ( I think I mistaked her signals of being done for wanting more) it’s been close to 24 hours at this point and I am struggling to get her to eat actual foods. In total today she has eaten food fistfulls( her size fist) of egg, a sm...

What's easy finger foods are people making that can be premade? Also what finger foods can I make for when out and about? We don't get on well with purees or anything which can be spoon fed.

Any other EBF baby starting to refuse solids? I mean gag, puke, and scream at the sight of any food.

My toddler has generally been a good eater - good portions and sits at her high chair fine. But the last three or four days she’s refusing to sit to eat, or eat at all. She’s really not eating any meals at the moment, she eats breakfast ok and then a few snacks in the morning before her nap but won’t eat anything fo...

My little boy loves food but if I don’t stop him, he would eat forever. Plus his belly is so big like Santa Claus even not after meals. Is it normal?

I hardly buy fresh vegetable as I don’t have a massive fridge and they don’t last long. Can you cook frozen vegetable to start weaning your baby?

My toddler is barely eating all she wants to eat are cheeseburgers and I can't feed that to her everyday because it's not good for her. She's always constipated
