Can you give pineapple fingers to a 10 month old?

How can I safely introduce egg? My LO is 11 months and I’ve been so scared I want to give him egg to see how he reacts. So far he’s not had any food reaction

My 9 month old has always been amazing with solids. However this last week he’s been so fussy, crying midway and just squishing it in his hand and throwing it on floor, or just screwing his nose up and spitting it out. This is with most foods other than wheetabix or purées. He’s always been baby led. Don’t know what...

My MIL is lovely and helps out so much. I'm very thankful for her. She's in her 70s and had 7 children so she knows a lot about babies! She said she was offering solid to her babies at 6 weeks old though so things have changed a lot. She is always trying to offer our little girl sugary snacks and does not seem to ...

I know this always causes fights... But paediatrician today advised starting solids to help my daughters weight gain (she had fallen below 0.4th centile and is just not interested in milk, even switching to formula hasn't helped much, so it's either that or a high calorie formula which they don't tend to recommend a...

My LO goes to nursery at 7:30 and has breakfast there at 8am. He wakes up around 6:30am in the morning and is hungry, we gave him a bottle before nursery the other day, but he was so upset us leaving him at nursery he cried and made himself sick. Milk only came back up but he was sent home for 48 hours for vomittin...

He still loves his milk so he has a small cup with breakfast and before bed but getting him to drink water/squash is hard work. Some days he does drink a good amount but the majority of days it’s a struggle and I have to keep passing him his bottle every 15 mins and he just pushes it away and says no. I’ve tried to ...

My little boy is 1 in 2 weeks and we’re still not through the weaning process, honestly we’re not even half way through. I spoon feed him everything, other than little snacks but he usually just ends up throwing it on the floor and not eating any of it. He had covid when he was about 7/8 months old, which messed up ...

I have just found out my son has a high intolerance to cows milk and I’m just doing my weekly online shop, I have, Alpro oat growing up milk Kirsty’s free from margherita pizza (I’m going to eat possibly 3/4 of this as he usually has mini pizzas with us on pizza Fridays!) Coconut oil soft cheese (I’m hoping this w...

How long should I let my baby refuse food for before I take him to the doctors?

Like, are you limiting their bottles, are you adding honey or sugar to cereal for breakfast, are you not offering anything else until they have what you initially made, are you re-offering food they didn't finish?? I need tips, my daughter throws stuff off her highchair on to floor & it's difficult to see food just ...

My daughter is 7 months old. I am really struggling with weaning. She literally eats nothing but will take her milk. I make all kinds of food, I have pureed it up and given her things to hold she just plays with it or spits it out but does put things to her mouth. It’s frustrating because it’s just not happening...

baby is 5 months finally sleeping longer night hours and more independant. However, has not stopped vomitting since birth which is driving me insane. We started slowly eating solids. Is it getting better for you ? :)

HOW do you get your toddler to use their utensils!?!?!? My guy will load up his spoon with his hands then when he goes to bring it to his mouth he drops it all. And he won’t let me help him! Same with drinking out of a cup!! He will only drink out of a straw I can’t get him to drink from a cup .. I need tips

My 19 month old has always been a good eater. She has had periods where she is more picky than others. Lately I’m getting frustrated because I am running out of ideas of what to feed her. Mostly for lunch and dinner. She used to love eggs and chicken nuggets, now she won’t touch them. She eats fruits, some veggies, ...

My baby who is 20 months isn’t eating unless it’s fries or junk or strawberries. Is this normal or something else ?

Has anyone started this? What foods did you do first? Any general tips? Excited but a little nervous 😁

Hey moms I’m struggling to feed my baby in the morning . She doesn’t eat eggs I do omelets scrambled hard boiled but nope. I do her oatmeal but nope . Idk what to feed her with

What do you give your little ones for lunch? My LG won’t eat sandwiches, pittas, wraps etc and has an egg allergy. I feel like I give her the same things all the time but I’m running out of ideas🫠 help!!

He literally just eats the same two meals for dinner. I’ve tried making him pasta but he doesn’t like it. Same with noodles. What do your babies enjoy eating? Need something easy because I’m sick of making dinner and him not eating it 😂🤦🏻‍♀️ Thanks!!
