My daughter is throwing handfuls of her food onto the floor at the moment. My mum was with us for tea tonight and couldn’t believe I didn’t tell her off for it. But I thought we should just ignore it at this age? I’m not sure I want to tell her off as I really want her to enjoy being in her highchair and mealtimes. ...

Mine love blueberries lately. Or anything breakfast it seems . . . . . . . Realistically, that is not what I wanted to ask. I just don’t want my husband to see this. As he has before and got mad I posted stuff. But I’m starting to think I’m in an abusive relationship. Not physically but mentally. I’m really down rig...

Hi mamas, could you share some pics of your babies meals? Would like to see how much food they are having! I never know if I am overfeeding her or not. Thanks :)

My lilttle one is going 10 mos now and still no teeth, so basically I only gave her purreed or mashed food as she still cannot chew some soft food. Is there any other food that you offer aside from mashed or puree?

Clean food drops under high chairs or not? Wipe the high chair and table after your messy eater? Ask a metal/plastic plate for your LO or carry your own? Or just go with a normal plate and hope for the best? Carrying your own water bottle or use a glass in a restaurant? Our son is normally well behaved in a resta...

Those of you who are weaning, what time of day are you giving baby their food? Are you doing it before or after they've had food? Also are you giving water? Thanks 💗

My little girl will be turning 6 months old in just over a week. I’m looking for BLW ideas suitable for her age She’s allergic to eggs so we will be avoiding that for now Can you share your favourite recipes x

Hi All! Just wanted to some advice. Lately my son keeps coming out of nursery absolutely filthy. He has food all over his face and snot everywhere. The staff have not cleaned his face all day clearly. I spoke to the manager and expressed my concerns but this is the 3 rd time now. Just wanted to know Has anyone el...

Anyone else get or got super excited about weaning? Everyday I been writing in a note book different foods and meals that we are going to make our son since he was 4 months old. I don’t even care about the extra work etc because cooking for our son separate meals excites me 😊 anyone else feels or felt this way? He…

I need some nice & easy recipe ideas, for some reason I’ve gone off most meat (other than chicken or roast beef/steak) & I’m bored of eating the same things all the time! Ideally stuff that can work for an almost 2 & a half year old & almost 7 month old. Since I’ve had my second little boy the smell of mince meat co...

Just wondering if I'm alone in this, because I am still nervous to give certain foods. I don't give bread (we aren't bread eaters anyway, so don't even buy it, but it scares me) the way it goes soggy/stodgy, I'm worried it can get stuck. I also am nervous of hard foods like cucumber. I also don't give biscuits be...

Does your LO tip their food on the floor and eats it off there? I’m so confused. My girl tips everything and then picks it off the floor to eat it. What the heck? Am I meant to serve meals on the floor now? lol I’m so confused

I think I’ll do some pancakes and sausage and maybe a small bowl of gornola cereal on the side. My 1 year old son is eating scrambled eggs his favorite ,some yogurt & fruit and drinking whole milk . What are u guys eating ???

What is everyone giving their baby for their first food?

Let’s see what solids those babies are eating ! I need more ideas. My son loves food and we usually do an egg, a puree of fruit and vegetables and yogurt for breakfast.

I have my 7 month old in a very good routine. Wake up at 8am breakfast and bottle, 12pm lunch and bottle, 5pm dinner and bottle, 8pm bath bottle and bed. My baby’s dad is only allowed to see my daughter in a supervised contact centre. He has contact at 1pm which takes me nearly 2 hours to get to, and him only half...

What fruit juices are you giving to your little ones? Hoping for suggestions for something not too high in sugar but also easy to purchase in supermarkets?

Anyone else's LO not eating much and suddenly not eating a lot of their favourite foods anymore? He just doesn't seem all that interested in food but used to be such a foodie!

We do/did a mix of spoonfeeds and BLW and at the min my girly is eating really well but 80% is me spoonfeeding her- weetabix, yoghurt, pasta, rice, curry etc. She feeds herself fruit, pancake, toast etc but not too much. But I feel so behind with her feeding herself and eating meals with multiple elements. Like I wi...
