I’ve made a bad habit of letting my LO watch tv while eating. She eats so much better while watching. 😭😭 feel like a bad parent

My 13 month old is picky. And I’ve noticed he will press down on his food with one finger if it squishes he throws it. Seems like he likes a little crunch in his food. Struggling with what to feed him. That I could get him to try and not throw it.

We haven't yet given our LO anything sweet/sugary that isn't a fruit or honey. No chocs, ice cream, sweets, cakes. People keep telling us we should let them have it occasionally but LO doesn't even know what those things are and has never asked for them so we're happy going as we are. But could we start an issue wit...

Stuck on snack ideas. What do you give your LOs?

Anybody else's little one refuse to eat? My little boy is almost 18months and he's a brilliant eater at nursery they always tell me how well he does and sometimes has seconds.

My little one is 16 months and won’t eat… She will have a bottle when she wakes up and breakfast usually an hour later but after this she isnt interested When do you give your little ones lunch? And dinner? She has a nap at 12 still so not sure if she’s having lunch too early? But then 2 o’clock after her nap se...

Anyone else’s 1year old has reduced appetite for the food they usually likes? My little one used to eat really well ,she loved vegetables and fruits. Lately she’s only been having half weetabix (mixed with berries and bananas) and a few slices of melon for breakfast . She won’t touch her toast. And for lunch and din...

So my 20 month old is a really good eater but at breakfast all she does is throw the food or tip the bowl out at random points. She doesn’t do it at lunch or dinner so not sure why she does it at breakfast. I’ve tried taking the bowl away giving her a suction bowl that just makes it worse. Now stuck for ideas on how...

My 9 month old mostly has porridge/weetabix/yoghurt with mashed fruit for breakfast but wanting to mix it up a little bit for her! She has an egg allergy which puts a lot of breakfast options off the table, any ideas greatly appreciated 😋

When did you introduce spicy food to your baby. I cook a lot of spicy food. I have started to introduce very mild spice to my son. I will usually give him what I made but tone it down with some sour cream or water it down. It's only been about 3 times he's had spice. My husband thinks we should wait till he's older ...

Okay ladies… I wanna do an egg hunt for my little but I don’t know what to put inside the eggs. I want to do a treat but I want to find something with low or no sugar AND free of dyes or colors. 😂 I know, that’s a tall order. What the heck can I stick inside the eggs?

Is it okay to eat at a buffet while pregnant, I see some say yes but then others are against it?

No judgment but we’re doing purées. This is what I’ve given him so far: - [x] Sweet potato - [x] Potato - [x] Carrot - [x] Parsnip - [x] Avocado - [x] Pumpkin What else do you recommend I try? Can I start weetabix? How much do I give?

Does anyone have advice on getting a baby to open their mouth for the spoon?

Does anyone else’s just turned 1 year olds like to throw their food on the floor? He does it with complete disregard it’s hilarious! But on a serious note, is this normal?! He eats most of what he wants to eat but just picks up things and lobs them (water bottle included)!! I hope this is just a phase cos I can’t fa...

Most kids go through nuggets and fries phase but mine is going through a cotton candy grapes and mixed vegetables (peas,carrots and corn) phase. I have seriously only gotten her to very little other than this.

I can see our 4 weeks old is leaning towards food, like she wants to try some. My parents are saying it's okay to start them on purées when they are so little, not to replace any feeds but to get them just a little bit to introduce them to new tastes.. not really sure whether she should be trying anything just yet, ...

My boy is 17 months and I feel like he can't stop eating. He loves food. He'a tall baby. But I wonder if someone's little one is same. He is starting to have a small belly

Could you please share typical things you give your 14/15 month old in a day? Eg what kinds of things do they have for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks? Thanks!
