If your toddler is anything like mines, a snack bin has done wonders. I put one in their play space and they just come grab what they want, when they want it. Before my oldest would throw fits if you didn’t guess what snack he wanted. Something so simple can make such a difference.
This lunch is so easy and quick to make when I forget to pre-cook something or me and his Dad aren’t eating with him at lunch time. A real crowd pleaser too! The plates normally clean at the end. Scrambled egg, avocado and a toasted bagel with butter.
Any tips on getting my child to drink fluids that isn’t milk? He has his puréed food, Melty sticks and milk. Tried him on water and it was a no, tried him on fruit juice in water and that was a no. Any ideas to get him to drink?
My 7 month old is on two, sometimes three meals a day. Usually breakfast & dinner. I give her half a pouch of Ella’s kitchen for dinner. How much are others giving their babes? I don’t want to give too much so she still drinks her milk which usually hovers around 600-700ml a day (I only get that much in her becaus...
Hi girls, Has anyone else struggled with this? My 11.5 year old has completely stopped eating and his milk intake is very low too. I try giving him 7-8oz if he doesn’t want his meal and he might only take 3-4oz. Since Thursday he has just completely refused solids and can’t get him to eat anything. What I have notic...
so my daughter is starting solids which means im trying to cook more, the only issue is hubby is a little picky lol. any recommendations for easy meals?
I know some love overly ripen bananas to make other recipes, and I do too. But I’m asking about eating the banana as is.
We’ve got chicken for protein, noodles with cream sauce for carb and dairy, vegetables and fruit. Am I missing anything? My toddler will chew through this and ask for more, so I thought maybe he was deficient in something but I don’t know what.
I haven’t started weaning my LB yet but me and my partner can’t seem to agree on what we should do when it comes to introducing foods. I would have been happy to have him try things like ready brek, rusks, weetabix etc but he wants him to have only natural things and now I feel like I don’t know where to start.. not...
How many meals is your baby on now? And what’s your routine with milk? I want to offer a third meal now but I’m struggling with the milk to solid balance and feel like he’s having too much milk
Can someone please give me a little list of what they first ever gave their baby when first weaning them onto food and how they did it like mashed up or in a blender or in one of them little food things they can suck on. I have a few months to go but wanna start getting some ideas. Thankyou🩷
Starting weaning next week as my son will be 6 months, without sounding silly do I follow a particular routine with weaning at this stage? Do I give him breakfast for example porridge in the morning and then something else in the evening? Again like veggies? Also am I able to introduce yogurt and fruits too at the ...
She used to be fine with soup/stews when we started weaning up until she turned one and then it’s gone downhill from there. She’s now 18 months and still refuses to even try it. I’ve tried giving it in different forms, with rice, with bread to dip etc but she just won’t try it 😭
Hey, my little one has recently cut two bottom teeth and is now I believe cutting more. However the new ones cutting through are causing him to not want to eat. He’s trying to bless him but the sucking is too much and too painful.. I’ve given calpol and bongela in hopes to help him. He has just turned 6 months.. is ...
I need meal ideas (mainly dinner time) I say she’s fussy, she doesn’t like to be fed with a spoon only breakfast which is always Greek yogurt and raspberries. She doesn’t like hot/warm food so no porridge. I haven’t tried cereal scared of chocking plus feel the Greek yogurt is more nutritious than cereal. Lunch she...
Toast with lurpak melts in his mouth. The only thing he eats is. Are there any suggestions on what else I can introduce to him that is a similar vibe and will melt in mouth except yoghurt? He won't eat puree foods either.
Today my baby turned 17 weeks and he was eating 6oz per feeding and he’s been struggling to eat even 3oz. Sometimes he can finish it but it takes us about an HOUR or longer. My mom says its normal but it makes me feel something that he is not eating :(
Is anyone else's 2yr old fully able to use a fork at mealtimes but still uses their hands for a lot of things like spaghetti bolognese etc? Is it normal? Thanks 😊
I don’t know what to do anymore I’ve tried everything, different foods, sitting and eating with him, feeding it to him, smaller portions, seperate plates and yet still he just throws his food on the floor! Does anyone have any advice please, as he will eat snacks and sweet stuff but will not eat any of the meals I m...
Hi momma's , FTM here. My son turned 18 months old 3 weeks ago. And ever since seen a shift in his behaviour he has stopped eating food refusing his daily meals , would only snack sometimes if he feels like , mostly surviving on milk. He doesnt want to trim his nails which wasnt a problem before. Since 2 days he d...
