Does anyone use these a lot? I feel bad for using them but I’m so fed up of cooking meals for them to wasted yet she never wastes these! I don’t just buy any old jar/pouch/ ready meal I make sure they are rated excellent on the yukka app but I still feel bad. - my baby also won’t eat finger foods so I’m having to c...

Other than doing the obvious let her play with the food I don’t know what else I can do. Nearly 11 months now and still won’t do it. She just cries if I try and get her to put anything in her mouth. Literally offered her chocolate to see if she’d do it for that but still no. Will only let me feed her.

My baby is 16 weeks tomorrow and some feeds in this last week have gone down in time quite a lot - round 8-12 minutes total time when usually it’s 20 minutes

How are you guys serving fruit like apples and oranges? The solid foods app says apples are a big choking hazard and oranges have to be cut out of each membrane but I wanted to see if this is what others are doing? Also what about grapes? I’d like to give LO more fruit but worried of the choking risks

My baby is 4 1/2 mo. Pediatrician said we should and can start solids to help baby sleep and that it would be fine to start this early since we introduced formula ?? I didn’t start solids until 6 months with my first. Not sure how I feel about starting so soon with my second, but he is a pretty big boy, eats a lot, ...

Anyone else’s toddler become really fussy and refusing to eat anything over the last couple of days?😩

My son has all of a sudden just refusing to eat and drink anything were lucky to get him to have a snack through the day... Im unsure if its teething or a phase or if i should ring the doctors 😕

Hey all! I’m going out for dinner tonight, obs can’t have much for obvious reason! So I am thinking to get 2 starters and olives as they’ll be very small portions! Parmigiana and salad - if goats cheese can be removed if not pasteurised. What do you think? For reference - I’ve a had mostly a high reading before brea...

I’m getting really concerned my 10 month old has been at nursery for one month, he will not eat anything when he’s there! He’s a great eater at home, loves his food! He’s only there in the morning for now so it’s not too bad, but there’s only 6 mornings left before he’s going to be there 7:30-4:30/5pm Starting ...

I don’t get the whole when baby starts watching u eat or grab at your food they’re ready for solids bit. My lo grabs everything and put it to her mouth regardless of its food or not and she also watches me all the time even if I’m not eating. So how do I know the difference? Because she’s doing that since 3 months ...

Hi, might be a silly question but my girl was mostly puree fed up until a week ago. Now she's bored and is eating actual food so I'm struggling for ideas. She HATES vegetables as finger foods so just trying to hide as much veggies in stuff. I've seen loads of moms make pinwheels. What pastry do I use and does anyone...

How many bottles is your 7month babies taking during the day? I’m finding it hard to get the solids/bottles ratio right. As one nearly puts him off the other. I don’t know whether to cut one of his bottles out or just stick to what I’m doing. He currently has solids every evening religiously but only some mornings w...

I feel like mine barely finishes half the Ella’s purée packets for each of the three meals (doesn’t matter the ingredients) and takes 3 x 200ml bottles of formula per day. He’s a 8kg boy. Would love to know how much baby boys are eating at his age. Thank you!

Toddler- heart toast with peanut butter and strawberries Baby-beetroot pancake with strawberries

There was 50 percent chance that my 2 year old would eat it. She just dipped a spoon and said no... 🙄 so I ate her portion in the end and it was nice

I cannot get my LG to eat actual pieces of fruit, she will not even try it, just pushes it away 😫 Anyone have any tips and tricks that have worked?

Is anyone else having issues with meal times? She’s totally refusing to go in the high chair, and when I eventually DO get her in, she instantly stands up and turns around and tries climbing out! She doesn’t sit down or still to eat either so meal times are just not happening! Snacks she has no issue with but all th...

Time planning for food, is there a time routine for when you start feeding your baby purée foods? Like at breakfast, lunch, and dinner or just lunch time to start off? How do you plan to do this?

Fruit and veggie pouches if your toddler likes those how many do they eat in a day? Which ones do you buy?

I didn’t think my baby would go back to putting random objects in their mouth like when they were a newborn.
