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 ...

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.

Would anyone mind sharing their babies daily eating / milk schedule?

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...

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.

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 ...

If you have a fussy baby, what was one piece of food/meal they LOVED?

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...

Anyone else's kid try to eat books? Or just mine 📚🙄😂

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?

Getting close to 6 months now and I wanted to start pre making some bits for the freezer, some of the recipes I have say make with babies normal milk and I dont know if im being overly sensitive but the nutramigen tastes so bad I don’t want him to think food tastes terrible too 😂 just wondered what others did in…

Help! My 11 month old will not eat breakfast at all, I offer her it every morning but she won’t touch it, She eats her lunch snack dinner pudding but refuses to eat breakfast We even tried to cut her morning bottle instead to see if that will help but she didn’t even eat then so we gave her it back after 2 days s...

What was everyone’s first bits of food they tried their baby with for their first tastes? Weaning starts at beginning of next month and I just don’t even know where to start I’m Definitely wanting to start with purées first as I don’t feel comfortable with her having big chunks of food, the thought of choking scares...

I have been giving my son a few spoons of purées the last month, he really enjoys food. I know to start it’s just about little tastes to get them use to it but he always wants more or a bigger portion. If he’s eating and enjoying can I give him a bigger portion or should I stick to ice cube size amounts ?

Hello, I have a 20 month old who is very fussy with food and has recently caught a few colds at nursery. Since then whatever few things he did like he won't eat anymore. It's getting VERY difficult to feed him. He just wants milk all the time... Any advice?

Hi, Im in desperate need of advice please. My 3.5 yr old (yet to be diagnosed) has previously been a very picky eater and struggled with textures and eating unless it was food he wanted. Since December he has been non stop eating. Its got to the point where hes eating his own food and looking at what others are ...

My baby has just turned 6 months. Im wondering what people have started with and how to best get started. My little one is very independent and I’m wondering if there are any good first foods that they can do themselves with me there to help. I will also spoon feed but i know they will enjoy it more being able t...

Does anyone else's toddler chew chicken fingers then spit it out?

Does anyone else's toddler still put everything in their mouth? My toddler is nearly 17 months old and he still mouths things all the time. Is this common / something to worry about? I don't see babies his age do this anymore.

When did y'all start giving your little ones cereal in their bottles?
