So my son just turned 10 months old. He has NO teeth yet. And I’m really struggling on what to feed him. He eats eggs, mushed broccoli, mashed potatoes and sweat peas mushed. He’s my first baby and my only baby so im trying to get passed with being scared of him choking and start giving him actually food so he’ll be...

Kind of a random one but what did everyone eat before their induction 🤣🙈

My boy is nearly 17 months old and the last few weeks of feeding have been horrible. He will not eat for me anymore unless it’s plain pasta, toast or weetabix. i can get some fruit into him every so often but every day he changes his mind. Any one gone through this and come out the other side or have any tips? He...

So he is already 1yo and still on formula. Fruit for breakfast a lot of snacks during the day. But if I put him lunch or dinner he wont eat any. He only wants a bottle. What can I do?

My child is a picky eater. So whenever she doesn’t eat enough or at all I make her a bottle of milk with cereal to thicken it so it can full her. Basically another meal. It’s too thick for her to drink from a regular cup. I want to start taking her off but I’m worried she won’t get enough nutrients from her food. Sh...

Hey, is anyone experiencing a super fussy eater at the moment? My LO is approaching 11m and had always been a good eater but in the last 2-3 weeks will not touch hardly anything I offer!!! He has in the last 2-3 weeks had hand foot and mouth and a cold but I just think it’s him being fussy! Can anyone recommend some...

I’m really struggling with BLW. My LO is nearly 8 months old and he won’t eat anything other than purées or mashed up food. I preload a spoon and he feeds himself, but I just can’t get him to eat finger foods or proper meals. He just plays with it and drops it on the floor. Does anyone have any tips or advice? I’m s...

Does anyone else’s 3 year old just won’t eat breakfast anymore? He used to eat weetabix without fail and now he’ll rather have random stuff for breakfast… biscuits, crisps, cucumber & pepper the list goes on. He’s asked for weetabix twice and literally only had one mouthful of it. He’s also had a fair few mouthfuls...

My 7 month old loves toast What can I put on toast for her? So far we’ve tried avocado which she really enjoyed

My 20 month old is refusing to eat. Ive tried EVERYTHING: pancakes, eggs, yogurt, rice, nuggies, pasta, you name it. She fights back so hard. Today she ate 2 cookies, 2 bites of a cracker and 2 bites of toast. She will drink full fat milk all day if she could (She has 4 8oz bottles a day)I am getting very frustrated...

I’m currently giving my 8 month old 2 meals and a snack per day. Hoping to increase to 3 meals per day by 9 months. Wondering how often are you feeding (solids) your baby?

Hello! My LO will be turning 6 months in 2 weeks. She has tried mashed banana and pureed carrots and will have her try strawberries this week. I really want to do BLW. How did you do it? Did you give her 1 type of food at a time or can be assorted per plate? For example, eggs + avocado + strawberries.

My baby is currently 5 months. But hasn’t rolled. Doesn’t sit on its own. His head still wobbles. So idk if he’s ready to have anything other than milk?

How's the best to catch a toddlers vomit, I've tried a bowl and she just turns away from it, I've already changed beddings 3 times🙈

How can I teach my baby to chew and put small amounts of food in the mouth? He vomited while eating puffs, and I saw big pieces of food like he was not chewing enough. I never leave him alone but I look and thought he was chewing well.

My son’s daycare teacher has concerns that he could be showing early signs of autism and the reason she thinks that is because he is refusing to touch/finish his lunch box. Basically she doesn’t want to feed him and wants him to finish his lunch box independently. Last Monday, she took a video of him showing how dis...

Baby girl is quite good with veges and carbs but we're struggling with protein! Egg has been my go to but she seems to have gone off it a bit now. I've tried different meats and fish but she struggles and doesn't tend to eat anything. What protein sources are you giving baby and how are you serving it?

gals i’m weaning my baby at 3.5 months… just pureed fruit and baby porridge- thoughts?

Random question, but how is everyone eating? Like, eating breakfast/lunch/dinner? I have a baby who won’t be put down and hates a carrier, so have been skipping breakfast and lunch now for a couple months (I know I can eat whilst holding him, but making food is another story!) But recently, I’ve been really struggli...
