Struggling with feeding my 12 month old 3 meals a day, its a full time job to get food ready 3x a day, have them sit down and eat plus the cleaning up after. I’m trying so my best but time just flies by and I just end up giving her a bottle 🫠 breakfast and dinner are easier but lunch is hard cause we’re either on…

Hello mummies!! We have just hit 5 months and are planning to start our weaning journey soon. Problem is, I have ZERO clue where to start. How did you learn how to wean, what foods to start with, how to prepare etc. is there an app or book that would help? Thanks x

when it comes to his feedings and I make eye contact with him, he thinks it’s the funniest thing ever 🤣🩷

For the past few weeks my son has started not wanting to for lunch or dinner. He’ll eat breakfast, but when I give him his food for lunch or dinner he won’t eat anything he’ll just play and then eventually start crying and screaming to get down. This is just with me and his dad. He’ll eat fine for his babysitter. Is...

How are you all heating baby food when out and about? We’re planning a day out to the beach/arcades this weekend but I have no idea how to give my baby her lunch when we will have nowhere to warm it up?!? (She’s 10 months for reference) Any dinner suggestions or advice please?😁😩

So I picked my son up from nursery today where they told me he’s being really disruptive at meal times and they need me to put more boundaries in place at home. His dad moved out in January and he sees him once a week, they think this is impacting him emotionally. They want him to wear a bib at all meal times and...

Is anyone else struggling with food introduction? My baby is almost 9 months old and has been exposed to solids for a while now, but she just won’t take them. Unless I put the food in her mouth—and even then—she barely eats it. She does okay with purées, but only if they are very smooth and sweet. She refuses anythi...

Anyone else’s baby just refuse any solids? LO is nearly 8 months and we’ve gone from her tasting small amounts of stuff at meal times, like avocado on toast, sucking on banana, to out right refusing to try anything. She cries at the sight of food and sometimes as soon as i put her in her high chair. We’ve tried sp...

Do your little ones have anything on when they eat? My little one eats fine without anything on and just me sitting with her. However she was poorly last week and I let her watch Bluey whilst eating, now she's fully better , she won't eat much without something on 😩 I feel like I've started a habit ( not…

Anyone been through this and got anything that helped? My son will only eat porridge, toast, banana, strawberries, yoghurt, crisps and drink milk. That’s pretty much it. Don’t even touch pizza, pasta, any meat, veg, not even a sandwich. I’ve tried all the advice. Eat together, offer it served different, new with...

My 2 year old son does not eat. It’s really stressing me out and making me cry. I’m pregnant and it’s such a struggle, I make him nice healthy meals and he doesn’t touch them at all. All he wants is biscuits and crisps. I don’t know what to do or who to get help from 😭

We started with a whole banana with the peel on the bottom to hold and I also did egg / banana pancakes. I feel like every time my baby takes a bite of whole food my soul leaves my body. I am so nervous. Help! I need food ideas to help me be more comfortable with this.

He won't try new food fruits and vegetables I mostly have to sneak in somehow!Any recommendations?

My daughter has CMPA and a really sensitive digestive system, waiting to see allergy and gastroenterology! What can I feed her😫 she can only handle completely smooth purées in small amounts, but all I can give her is fruit and veg and it just feel so repetitive please give me some ideas!

Cucumber grapes and cheese sandwiches. Before im told hes fine with his cucumber like this.

I am so stressed out about my LO's diet. For several weeks now, she has rejected all the foods she used to enjoy. She lives off toast, yoghurt, plain pasta and raspberries. Meals I used to be able to sneak veg into like spaghetti Bolognese, cottage pie, hidden veg pasta sauces, she will not touch. I can't remember...

My toddler eats all sorts at nursery but at home I can’t even get a fish finger in him. Makes me feel so bad. I have gotten the exact recipes from nursery to see if he’d have it and he won’t at home: he only eats fruit and yogurt ☹️

So from 6 months Ive never done purées always BLW and she was doing ok with it (she’s never been a big eater as she’s tiny) but I’ve offered pouches when she’s been teething etc. for the past few weeks she’s wanted nothing but soft food/pouches and if I try and offer “normal food” or anything you have to chew she wo...

My daughter just turned 10 months and was a very good eater but the past week or 2 I’m fighting to get her to eat anything. She’s fine in herself happy and energetic and still breastfeeding. Anybody else’s bubba off food atm?

My 17th month old has barely eaten any fruit her who life and it’s always been a battle/ point blank refuses it. Her brother who’s 3 LOVES fruit and will eat everything in the fruit bowl.
