My 3 year only wants Oreos and snacks. She does not want to eat food I make😑😩Is anyone experiencing this? Any suggestions?

Anyone else? My little guy is 13 months old. He’ll eat anything and everything at daycare and at my Nana’s. But at home it’s like he pretends to be picky 🙄. We’ve been feeding him lots of pouches just to make sure he’s getting SOMETHING other than cheerios and french fries.. He does still drink 8-16oz of formula a…

Looking for ideas for finger party food for 1st birthday, not looking for recipes just easy snacks/nibbles? So far only have: - strawberries - blueberries - cheese - crisps - breadsticks/crackers Just looking for for adults to nibble/snack on which would also be friendly for my 1yr old 🤔

Really looking for some advice my son is now 8 months nearly but for two months he spent it in hospital and then struggled with reflux and got put on gaviscon so he was late ISH to weening as he was poorly or struggled with reflux he's been having pouches and some yogurts here and there and one meal a day as well as...

Is anyone’s 1 year old still enjoying their food in a more mushy/puree form still? My little one used to eat everything and anything! But since he’s developed more teeth and gotten older (started about 2 months ago) for some reason he doesn’t seem to enjoy whole bits of food so much? He likes to bite into an apple...

Mamas please help! I’m so lost 😭 my baby boy is now 6 months old so I’m trying to feed him stuff besides his formula now and I’ve tried mashed bananas, baby cereal, I made apple sauce, and I tried the Gerber sweet potato. At 1st he LOVED the mashed bananas and baby cereal (probably ate them for like 3 or 2 days)…

what are some of your baby’s favourite pouches or jars or foods

My child has never been a great eater for as long as she's been eating food. Always been fussy and pretty slow at eating. Recently she's got a bit better with trying different foods but she takes sooo long to eat, I mean like she needs a minimum of an hour to eat any meal (even when it's basic fish fingers and chips...

Does anyone else have an extremely picky eater to the point where there are very few things they actually like? I am really worried about her getting the nutrients she needs. She used to eat all fruits and veg and will now refuse anything that is not potato/ beige foods. Just want to know if it’s normal and if there...

Someone tell me I’m not going mad - my toddler (2yo in three weeks) will only feed himself snacks, toast, and yoghurt with a spoon. He will only let me feed him banana porridge and weetabix. Everything else is just a no. Mash potato, spaghetti bol, chilli, pasta, fish pie, nothing. He used to love all of these thing...

I have nobody else to talk to about this.. I also feel like i’m so alone in this situation. My son just turned 1 a few weeks ago and he does not take any solids what so ever or take a sippy. It’s rough when people look at you strange for your baby not eating and trying to explain that he refuses everything is beginn...

We went for our 4 month appointment and our paediatrician recommended starting with solids (purees) for our LO primarily because introducing foods early would reduce risks of any allergies. We were super excited to start solids however I noticed a lot of general guidance on the internet seems to indicate waiting unt...

Feel like I’m totally failing but she just isn’t interested at all. Just plays with anything i give her and won’t put food/spoon in her mouth. Also won’t let me spoon feed her. Just want to know I’m not alone!

Just need a bit of advice really but my baby is 4 months and he’s on 8oz every 3 hours but even after that he still seems hungry trying to get more out of the bottle and fusses like he’s hungry. Anything I can do to help him out as I know they say I should wait until 6 months to put him on solids

Has anyone tried soya yoghurts for little ones when weaning? I’ve bought one from lidls and dont know why I’m scared even though it’s got no milk 🤣🫣

My LO is 9 months old and for the past few days she is refusing any mashed up food. Since we started weaning we have done a mix of BLW and purees but she is refusing any soft foods now. Has anyone else’s baby gone through this? She would not eat if I try to spoon feed her. Not a bad thing but just wondering if anyon...

What are some first foods you did with baby to start BLW? He is really good with purées but wanting him to start doing actual foods.

Hey everyone, I’ve heard mixed opinions, but I’ve decided to start solid foods for my 5-month-old. She used to get frustrated watching us eat and would even try to grab food from our hands! For now, I’ve introduced fruit purées along with small sips of water. Of course, I’m still breastfeeding and plan to continue...

I need some inspo ladies! My LO will NOT eat sandwiches or wraps unless toasted 🤦‍♀️- unless at nursery. What could I do for a lunch when we are out and about?

My girl is almost 5 months and is sitting up with support, acts like she wants our food, and holds her head up. I keep telling her just a little bit longer and she gets so mad 😅. She has a doctor’s appointment tomorrow and I am going to ask about starting purées at 5 months. Anyone else in a similar boat?
