My daughter turns 7 in April and last weekend she asked to make herself toast whilst I was in bed. I said no and got up to make it for her. She's now in a mood with me because she claims 'everyone' her age can use the toaster and that lots of her friends are allowed to use the air fryer unsupervised. We do a lot...

We waited a bit longer than most to start weaning our baby because baby wasn't ready yet. We were now told by a GP that we have to start due to potential allergies. We've been trying for about a week but baby just isn't into it. They will push the food away from them, maybe put their hand in for one second, then s...

Heyy so my 7 month old LOVES fruit and yogurt he can’t get enough, but the only savoury he will eat is puréed broccoli and cauliflower which he loves, hates everything else. He’s such a sweet tooth, I keep trying different types of savoury and he just spits it out. Any tips?

Does your baby flip their plate when eating ? I don’t have the suction plates just regular kiddie plates and she flips it every time and would rather eat from her chair tray 😭

I feel like I eat the same thing most nights as we usually meal prep for baby. I'm wanting to start cooking more but no more than 30 mins cooking. Food ideas please

Is it okay to reheat food like broccoli in the microwave for the baby? I know you're not supposed to heat milk in the microwave because it could cause hot pockets that can burn their little tongue. Is this the same for food? How do you guys meal prep for baby? I won't have time to make up food every day so want to m...

This is my first time travelling abroad and on a plane with children (9 month and 2 year old) I know I can bring food and snacks for them but according to an easyjet customer advisor, food for infant counts as one of their free item? If this is the case, is that each item or the bag with their food and drinks? Wha...

So we started combi BLW and purees last month. This might be a stupid question, but I am a first time mom. At the beginning baby was sold on purees she was eating with spoon. Now since teething started she was not very into food in general and she is currently still having finger food with puree but I am giving he...

My son has been referred to a pediatrician for developmental delay and the symptoms of autism he is showing. Health visitor has asked me to keep a diary of what day to day is like as his obsessions and stimming has really changed how we do things. Today I’m at wits end with how he acts whenever I eat. I will serve ...

My boys hates his highchair, I think it limits the amount he eats. He was done with his lunch until I sat him on my lap and now he's finished the whole plate!! I don't have space for a small table and chairs which would be ideal. Has anyone got any other suggestions?

Does anyone elses LO seem to be hungry all the time! My little boy had cereal and a hot cross bun for breakfast, a banana, an apple, a biscuit, a yoghurt and a bottle of milk all before 10.30. I don't want to restrict his snacks if he's hungry but equally I don't know that I should be getting him something every tim...

Got my daughter the Aldi version of three Kiddylicious cheese straws and just realised they say 3 years on them. Anyone know why they are different ages? (The Kiddylicious ones are 9 month)

My girly loves helping with baking and preparing food… any recommendations on knife/ cooking sets that you guys let your little ones use to help chop up food etc

Hey does anyones little ones eat with a spoon/ fork? My little one always uses his hands and I don’t know what to do to get him to use the spoon/ fork instead. I give him a spoon/ fork with his meals but he isn’t interested at all… Also can anyone recommend the best ones to buy?

Hey ladies, I have a 7 month old who just hates weaning. I’m not really sure what to do or what I’m doing wrong. I’m struggling with what to give her and to get her to actually eat. The only thing she’s actually put in her mouth of one of those dummies with puree in but she just spits the puree out and then banan...

Has anyone struggled with anxiety to start BLW? I have been giving purées for 4 weeks now and she is showing all the signs of being ready for solids but I am just so anxious she is going to choke and I won’t be able to help her. I’ve watched so many videos online and researched everything I need to but the panic of ...

How do you eat with your two year old? We have ours currently eating in the living room at his little kid table while he watches a movie. But it seems lately he's getting distracted. Before we used to have him Sit at the table but he would get done before I and my husband would eat. I just want to see what option...

My 3 year old eats so slowly! And I know that's how toddlers go.. they take a bite and run around the table and then take another bite, but this is different.. my son will just go about his business with a bite of food in his cheek like a chipmunk for 15 minutes! I literally ate my entire meal and he had the same pi...
