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...

Is anyone else’s little one really bad with eating? She eats her breakfast (weektabix & fruit) absolutely fine but for lunch/dinner she will only eat things like yoghurts, tomato Spagetti, soup.

My 16month old is so fussy, when it comes to dinner he just won't eat anything other than egg, beans and cheese or something on toast. No pasta, rice, meat, literally anything I cook he refuses.

Is it normal for my 1 year old not to feed himself he's not interested in eating if he feeds himself so I have to feed him , but like finger foods he will feed himself ... also he has to have his meals blended because he can't chew

My 2 year old keeps refusing meals, even at nursery. Would you give them something else rather than the meal already prepared? She tells me she wants something to eat but everything I offer or give she says no. Even her safe foods that I know she normally eats, she’ll take one mouthful and spit out. Im at a loss as ...

Let’s take the kids out of the conversation. What time would you generally start making or eating lunch (assuming you have the time for it)

My 17m old used to be an amazing eater, literally everything. On and off she's gone through fussier phases and then eating well again which I feel is normal. Teething / nursery bugs seem to throw her off very easily. But, we are now in a place where she basically lives off of Weetabix, greek yog, the odd banana, to...

Are we giving our April babes sandwiches yet? I always thought soft bread was a choking hazard but I’m running out of lunchtime inspriration!

Hi! Has anyone started to give their baby finger foods yet? I'm so scared to because of choking but my 5.5 month old was crying so much he wanted some of my Yorkshire pudding yesterday after I handed a strip to him. I also then offered him a lemon slice and he loved that so I definitely want to try him with BLW. I'v...

My girl was always amazing with food but has lately started being really fussy with eating and just doesn't want her meals even when I give her the failsafe foods I know she always liked. Of course, she'll still eat sweeter stuff like oaty bars and bananas and yogurt 🫠 would you let her eat the sweet stuff to at…

I can't seem to get him to eat anything! He will nibble at little bits then want to go play and isn't interested no matter what I make him or give to him.
