My 18 month old is super fussy with food all of a sudden 🤦🏻‍♀️ Anyone else going through the same thing? I feel awful as he doesn’t want to eat anything unless it’s a yogurt or some crisps. Sometimes a slice of watermelon 😂

Do you encourage your LO to hold cutlery to eat? Even if unsuccessful 👀 If no, comment when you will start

Themed to match nursery’s story of the week.

Hi all, I just wanted to share this infographic I came across on Instagram. My toddler used to be such a big eater, but recently around turning two he eats less in terms of portion size than he used to. I was really beginning to worry about this until I came across this post on Instagram. Hope it helps someone else ...

My LB is almost 8 months and loves food. He’s great with purées and likes finger foods. But finger foods still make me really nervous because he just shoves big pieces into his mouth or bites off big chunks (with his one bottom tooth 😂). He’ll gag and then get really distressed and cry and that’d be the end of the…

So in order to make sure she's fed I've had to give her milk ... Has this happened to anyone ?

My boy is bored of all the crap I’m serving him 🤣 what are you fail safe healthy meals? He’s currently not trying many new things but also isn’t into the things he used to enjoy (fish fingers, homemade chicken nuggets, sausages, hidden veg spag bol etc) Any suggestions and ideas would be great

Can I have some advice, I started weaning my baby a week last Monday. We have been doing a mixture of BLW and purées. However my little one doesn’t seem to want purées but as she’s got no teeth I don’t feel like she’s having anything from solids only. Should I be worried about this or not. She only turned 6 months ...

What are your portion sizes like? LB definitely wants more than I’m giving (5-6 spoons) but not sure if I should or if I should wait a few weeks whilst he adapts? He’s also upped his milk this week to 7oz 6 times a day.

So what’s the situation? If I had it my way, my 19 month old daughter would barely taste processed sugar but my MIL and SO are sugar fiends and give my daughter bits of sugar juice drinks, biscuits everything in small amounts everyday. I’m starting to give up trying to be the opposition and wonder if anyone has t...

Hi! My LO is about to turn 8 months. I’m feeding him twice a day with solids ( generally morning and midday). How many times are you feeding yous LOs and when?

Anyone else's baby just not wanting to eat? My daughter will take her bottles just fine, but for about 2 weeks now she just doesn't want to eat solids. She'll eat a few bites of puree, but hardly any table foods. Before, she had finally gotten to a point where she was eating several different textured foods and now ...

My little one is 4 months and 1 week old. My health visitor advised and gave the ok to wean my little one to help with bowel movements and fullness. I have a question for genuine answers. When giving an ellas kitchennl baby rice pack suitable for 4 months old. Do i need to give a bottle aswell or not? Ellas kitch...

My 15m old just will not feed himself unless it’s a snack. He touches soft food and squishes it and throws it on the floor. I’m getting really stressed. Some things he’ll allow me to feed him in little pieces or I have to spoon feed him softer foods. Sometimes he will try and use a spoon to feed himself but 9/10 he’...

Hey mamas, I just need advice and help with feeding my little boy at 9 months old. He enjoys the foods I’ve given him so far but I feel as though I’ve maybe been overly cautious about what I’ve been giving him (re: salt etc). I’ve seen people say ‘just give them a bit of what you’re having’ but to what extent? Is ev...

I’ve been making my baby purées daily in the morning and in the evening and been giving him a snack in between. He has around 8oz of porridge with fruit for breakfast and 8oz of veg and chicken puree for dinner. I tried to get him to try actual food that’s not pureed, or a chunky puree but he makes a disgusted face ...

My LO is not eating solids anymore. He is almost 14 months. He will tell us he’s hungry but then when we give him food. And it’s all food he loves he throws it on the floor and screams. He loves fruit tho that he could eat all day everyday. The only thing he wants is his milk or toddler formula. I don’t know what to...

Hi all, Has anyone started introducing solids yet for your 6 month baby? If so how often are you feeding baby solids in the day and are they sitting up right? My baby doesn't fully sit up fully but I've been advised to get a bumbo seat. Thanks xx

Does anyone have any easy postnatal meal prep ideas? I have a slow cooker which I’ll likely use a lot, or oven. For me, my husband and my 3 year old x

I’m a bit worried I’m going to have to seek professional help at some point. My baby boy is almost 9m and still not interested in any foods. Not the finger foods or the puffs. It’s almost like he recognizes texture and won’t put it in his mouth but with anything else so quick to put in his mouth. If I feed him purée...
