Weird food thing

Weird one…. My LO has stopped eating veg when presented to him on a plate at the table. However I noticed he would pick bits up from the floor and eat them when I’ve got him down from the high chair and am cleaning up. So today after dinner I put a small plate on the floor with carrots and corn on… and he kept comin...

Anyone else child refuses food

My son refuses to eat any meat or fish. Also he’ll eat is plain food for example when I make him pasta with salmon he wouldn’t eat the salmon. Also my son hates rice for some reason. When he refuses should I just not offer him other meals and just keep offering the same meal ???

Fussy eater

Any suggestions for fussy eaters would be much appreciated! My daughter turns 1 on Wednesday and over the course of the last two weeks we have started to reduce her formula and introduce more cows milk. Whilst she seems to be hungrier for food rather than filling up on formula, she can be very fussy with what she e...

Do you give LO ham?

As in packs of ham for sandwiches. My LO doesn’t eat meat at all but today she seems to like ham but it only dawned on me after she ate some that it’s not cooked and solid starts suggests cooking deli meats

I need recommendations please.

My little one does not eat breakfast meat in the morning, but I would like for her to. What meat do you feed your little ones? She stopped eating the turkey sausages and we tried plant based (because she loves the plant based nuggets and meatballs) but she didn’t eat the breakfast meat. :/

Hear me out before you think I’m being ridiculous…

So my son is 10 months old and I suspect he has some sort of sensory issue or is on the spectrum somehow. I have adhd/add, OCD and sensory issues. My partner doesn’t but he didn’t eat solid food until he was 4 which is insane to me. My son refuses everything but the bottle. Purees and solids he spits it at me, gags ...

How much is your baby eating? & how often?

My baby is 17 weeks. Goggle is very conflicting with advice or how much they should roughly be taking. I know all babies are different but just for a guideline.

Are your babies eating lots of their meal??

My baby isn’t overly interested in food, will maybe bring to her mouth once or twice if I’m lucky and may swallow a couple of mouthfuls of food per week? Offering 3 x meals a day. Not prepared to drop a bottle yet as she still feeds at night and milk is their main form of nutrition until 1. Only having 3-4 bottles i...

Not eating at nursery

My baby is flat out refusing the food at nursery. I’ve seen the menu, it looks great and I don’t understand it. I bring him home and he eats fine. The staff say he just will not accept food from them or self feed. What is happening? I don’t know what to do.

Eating... Or not

My 2yr old doesn't eat! He'll maybe eat a few mouthfuls of a meal and leave the rest. He doesn't like fruit or veg, rarely eats even half of a meal... Asks for snacks all the time but even if I limit them, he doesn't eat! He is a very happy and energetic boy so I don't understand where the energy comes from! Anyone ...

Throwing food

My boy is constantly throwing his food on the floor. No matter what I offer him or if it’s his most favourite food, every meal time 90% of his food goes on the floor. I’ve tried cutting it up smaller/offering it bigger/putting it on his tray one piece at a time/putting it all on his tray/telling him food stays up an...

Back to purees

Our 15 month old has gone so fussy with food, she refuses pretty much everything. We've had to buy pureed food to get something in her 🤦🏼‍♀️ she is still having milk but won't have much else! She does seem to be teething so I'm guessing it is that. Anyone else had similar?
