Toddler not eating

Is anyone else's toddler not eating. My daughter was going through this phase each time she was teething and then she started eating really well and now all of a sudden she's back to the same thing. I don't see signs of teething so idk if it's just a normal thing that happens with toddlers or if it's just her. She'l...

Breast milk snacks

I only ever get one good pump a day though I try pumping 3 times a day. If anyone can give me any recommendations I would appreciate it. I’m not allergic to any...

Toddler eating habits

Hi there! My boy would eat everything and for the past few weeks it’s been hard to get him to eat dinner. He’s only been drinking his milk and he’ll eat his snacks throughout the day like string cheese, crackers etc. but when it comes to dinner he’s not interested. Is this normal?

Food aggression?

My 1yr old boy is having major food obsession, idk if it’s appropriate to call it aggression or anxiety or what to call it. But anytime I have a snack or food or even a drink in front of me he is immediately ALLL over it, trying to climb up to get it, once he realizes he isn’t getting any or I tell him no then he wi...

Introducing Solids

I’m not sure if I’m being too hard on myself, but I am absolutely terrified of starting my almost 8M old on solids. Tonight I tried to smash a banana & give him small pieces. He gagged which I know is part of learning to swallow, but it was followed by excessive drooling and that’s the part that made me completely s...

Refusing fruits & veggies

My son will be 2 in July, and he has always been a GREAT eater. The only thing up until now he hasn’t really liked is beans. He’s always eaten all his fruits and veggies without complaint, and veggies are often the first thing on his plate he’ll eat. Within the last couple weeks, fruits and veggies apparently disgus...

Weaning Chair

Weird one..... I think my little lady hates the bumbo chair, possibly the high chair too and will keep her mouth closed near enough the whole time and will make sure everything flies off the table so she doesn't have to eat it and then tries to lift herself out. If I hold her on my hip and feed her like that she is...

Eats too little

My little one is almost 8 months and we are having serious issues with him eating. He has recently, as in maybe the past week or so, refused to eat any solids at all. He will close his lips as tight as he can and refuse. As to formula, he also eats so little. The highest amount he has eaten in the past week has b...

Can you wean too fast?

My boy has taken to weaning much better than I expected and within a month we could go onto 3 meals as he eats everything I put in front of him. He gets excited to eat and digests well - plenty of wet and dirty nappies , no difference to before weaning except slightly fewer poos (no constipation luckily!). No reflux...

8.5 month old gone off solids

My little one has been good with solids since he started at 6 months. We've been doing a mix of purees and finger food since the beginning and he's usually given everything a good try. The last week or so he's been really fussy sometimes refusing whole meals. Has anyone else had this and got any advice?
