What do you give your LO for lunch? We are on stage 2 of purées at the moment. Did you drop a feed when introducing lunch? Thanks!

Anyone else's child refuse to eat new foods? My little girl will eat like 3 meals max! I can't get her to eat anything different! Nothing new no matter what I try!

Anybody else’s 3-4 year old always hungry?! He’s really tall for his age and I think growing again. I feel like all I do at the moment is make food. Any healthy/filling snack ideas would be appreciated. I’m running out of ideas! Bonus if they are things I can send as snacks for preschool (don’t need to be refri...

He's 6 months and has serious food Envy any time we eat. He's only just started having a little bit of banana porridge in the evening and I'm so scared of him choking if I offer him bits of our food...how are you guys managing this?

How much are your babies eating? I'm doing BLW and pretty much LO doesn't eat hardly anything. He puts things in his mouth but barely consumes much at all. Should I be worried? LO is almost 8 months old. Not dropping formula at all and I can't see how there will be a progression to actually eating 3 meals a day! LO ...

My little boy has always been a great eater, by the last few days he has started to spit his food out. He has a few mouthfuls of whatever he is eating and then decides to spit it out, even with things that we know he loves! Is this happening to anyone else, or can anyone offer any advice? Hoping it's just a phase!

Hi, I need some advice please - My baby is 6 months and I make her veggie purees every day but she doesn't really take to them. The only thing she enjoys eating is Greek yoghurt. Yesterday I was eating Weetabix and she was trying to grab it off me (it had sugar and cow's milk). I'm thinking maybe to try her with b...

My LO has always had either rice crispies or toast but he’s starting not to be keen on either.. don’t mind other cereal suggestions or what everyone else gives their LO’s please? xx

Anyone else still scared to do this? My 7m has textured purees and has had about 2 veg for BLW but it's sooo scary! I know LO is def ready for it now, but I'm not 😅 they just try and shove the entire thing in their mouth all the time! Even when I gave her toast, she made a massive bit wet then ripped off half of…

My daughter is 18 months, and whenever I put her in her highchair, she just throws her food on the ground. Then she wants out of it and will perform drive-by bites... any advice on how to correct this behavior, or is this a stage that will pass at some point?

Can babies over 6 months have kefir? It says that they can on the solid starts app but as it’s American I just wanted to check… We have kefir in our smoothies everyday and was thinking I could give my little one some smoothie with his breakfast as we put lots of nuts, seeds and fruit in it so thought it might be goo...

I usually like it. It’s educational and doesn’t seem to be too overstimulating? But today an episode about mixing different foods came on, and they kept saying EWWWW & YUCK! To different combinations. They were gross combos like sushi and ice cream but I turned it off quickly. I feel like with toddlers you already h...

He’s just like me and loves them withsautéed onions, seasoned and drenched in fresh lemon. I always went light thinking it’d be too much for him, but quite the opposite!

I just want to sit down and eat I haven't ate all day bc I was so busy baby won't sleep and everytime I try to eat I can't because he needs something it's like a never ending cycle

My 16 day old is always seeming hungry.

My LO is 3 months and my mother in law has already put cream in their mouth as well as custard etc. I keep telling her to stop but she says not to listen to midwifes saying to wait until 6months. Not that that's the only issue, it's also the fact I want his first foods to be nutritionally beneficial. Doesn't hel...

Any ideas for lunches that I can take out with me for my 6mo? We are out almost every day at the moment, I hate being indoors and take my little girl out and about a lot. Now that shes eating food, I’m trying to think of lunch ideas that I can take with me for on the go for her? Ideally that don’t require warming up.

Please don’t judge me! I’ve been giving my baby jars/pouches. She has toast for lunch but i really want to start cooking and freezing stuff for her and giving her healthier options. I’ve been struggling with PPD and am starting to feel more myself and feel like i could manage this now. I’m just not sure what I can m...
