My sons just turned 12 months old and majority of his meals are still puree, he does have allergies which took so long for us to get to the bottom of but the hv said he should be on solids only by now and now I’m stressed 🤒 any tips to start moving him closer to solid meals . he has things like chicken and salmon…

How can I tell what baby boy wants from hand chewing? He’s 8 weeks old and on 5oz every three hours, how do I differentiate between exploring his hands and hunger??

My baby is ill with a fever and refusing to eat anything. If I feed him he vomits it out. Not sure what to do😩only thing he ate today was his breakfast which was weetabix with fruit. Is it okay if he doesn’t eat??

Anyone else in the same boat? He just instantly gags or shows zero interest!

I’m just curious I have a 14 month old and this was her dinner tonight (please no hate I know it’s got processed stuff but it’s not an every night thing I normally cook proper food for her) how much would you expect her to eat; I know I put way too much on but that’s just so I get the leftovers 🤣

Hi Please can I ask for some vegetarian lunch and dinner ideas for baby? I know they can eat what we eat but I eat a lot of processed. Wanting to have some food in the freezer. Thank you

I’ve been doing breakfast and dinner for about a month now but my baby seems to be getting soooo hungry and will start screaming at tea time for her food. I feel like I might need to give her a third meal at lunchtime. We’ve also dropped a feed and went to feeding every 3/4 hours from every 2/3, she is breastfed.

Does your toddler 15 months-18 months feed themselves?

so since easter, my 2 year old has been obsessed with easter eggs. on easter i put goldfish in the little plastic easter eggs and now when i give him food he rejects everything i offer him and will only eat if i give it to him in an easter egg so i’ve only been able to give him little snack foods that will fit in th...

what are your 3(ish) year olds eating? my son is impossible to get to eat and just seems to want biscuits all of the time. i know fed is best, but it just makes me really sad sometimes 😔

Weaning… When did everyone start weaning, I have a 4 month old but who is showing so much interest in food to the point he tries to grab it and gets frustrated when other people are eating I’ve constantly got my mum on my case saying I should start maybe giving him some baby rice or rusks in milk even though the gui...

I promise you, try and give my toddler water and she will NOT drink it. Give her flavoured water or juice (fruit shoots) and she will drink it no problem. I’m just worried about her teeth rotting :/ we do brush her teeth daily but it’s a bit of a struggle because she wriggles so we’re not exactly thorough. I’d r...

I’m a FTM and my baby just turned 5 months, when did you guys start feeding them baby food/purees, should I start now? I’m a bit scared🤧🫠

Ok serious question.. how the hell are we eating dinner without being interrupted by baby?😂😂 I swear he’s actually a 20 year old in a 12 week olds body because HOW does he know the second I sit down to eat dinner… I’ve been bathing him and feeding and putting him to bed before I can even cook dinner but that’s not…

Hey, my LB is 6.5 mths old and we are currently doing breakfast and lunch purees, still having 4 - 5 bottles a day also. We are going on holiday in 3 weeks and I am struggling to see how I am going to keep up with his food routine when i won't be able to take pre prepared food with us.. I don't usually give my LO po...

Hi everyone. When I was signing my son up with a new nursery I asked them specifically not to feed him baked beans but today I found out he was given baked beans. The head carer herself told me oh he ate all his baked beans. I was fuming as I do not feed him any food with added sugar and I know baked beans contain s...

Hi, what would you bring your baby for lunch if having a picnic? Need some easy picky lunch ideas 😃

My 3 month has all of a sudden got hard to feed. She squirms, kicks and gets so distracted. Sometimes even acts like she doesn’t want it. Should I space feedings out more? Is she just too distracted? Do they plateau with how much they want to eat? She used to chug bottles lol so it’s not a feeding issue as far as la...

Just wondering what others children are like at this age. A typical days food for my daughter (what she actually eats off her plate, I obviously give her more than this) Breakfast - half a banana & mouthful of scrambled eggs Lunch - lots of plain pasta, few bites of chicken, cucumber Dinner - lots of rice, couple...
