My LO is nearly 10 months old. What are your feeding schedules like for 10 months? Are your LO’s confident with finger foods? She knows what to do but still gags on some foods. Is this normal? She starts nursery soon so I’m wanting to make sure we’re on the right track for then!

Right now I hide the bowl in the MICROWAVE smh. Or he will bring me a new piece of fruit to eat every 5 minutes.

My husband’s birthday is tomorrow & idk what to do to make him feel appreciated other than giving him a massage, & cooking dinner. He’s on a special diet due to allergies, I can’t just make whatever. So that’s out. Help! I need ideas

My family was babysitting my daughter while I was at work yesterday. I live with them and they all know I've only given her formula and baby oatmeal. I am noy giving her solids, or purees, or anything else until she can sit up better. And when we start purees, it'll be veggies. My sister decided to give her a raspbe...

I recently tried my breast milk out of curiosity. My child seems to go crazy I'm like, what is in this shit that he will not stop to the point of over eating.

How much purée can I give at one time? What does everyone else do regarding food amounts? I've searched the internet it's not very clear. My girl eats a pouch then seems to want more so not sure if I should.

Hello Moms, my kid will be starting kindergarten this year and for some reason I’m not getting this information from other parents. Do schools usually provide lunch to kids or do parents have to pack lunch and send it with the kids. I see articles on nutrition program and hot lunch program in TDSB website. However ...

My baby is nearly 7 months old and we have been weaning for around a month. I'm doing a mix of spoonfeeding and fingers foods. She's great with finger foods grabs them and puts straight in mouth. She is however really reluctant to be spoonfed. She grabs the spoon before it gets anywhere near her mouth and wants to d...

My 1 1/2 year old is getting to the point where he’s not wanting to eat most things anymore idk what to give him or cook him one minute he could eat a meal and then the next not like it, any suggestions on what to give him?

Can you share with me what you LO eats in the day, how much, how often, and some meal inspo please! My little boy has never been the best eater, only likes yoghurt fruit etc

Please tell me what you are feeding your baby for breakfast! My Lo will not eat breakfast unless it’s Greek yogurt🤣 we have tried toast, pancakes, porridge, fruit ect. ( she will eat these foods just not a breakfast time) 🤦‍♀️🤣

I have a 2.5 year old little girl and I’ve just had a baby boy who’s now one month. My little girl has now started wetting herself lots, sucking her fingers, licking her lips (all sore and red at the bottom) and playing with her food (she never used to want to get her hands messy) now she’s dipping her hands in yo...

Im struggling on quick but good lunches for my little one. Shes 7 months and loves to feed herself. But im just stuck in a feeding rut. Shes good with fruits but isn’t a big fan of veg but will try them. And is getting better

I’m finding I’m constantly buying Tupperware as my baby eats more to meal prep and freeze as I need bigger sized containers. I have used ice cube trays and taken out as many cubes as I want but I just find this hard to gage how many I need to take out. Any other suggestions?

Anyone else's wee one just eat a 'picky plate' for lunch? My twins don't eat sandwiches and are very fussy so I usually just give crackers, cheese, ham, some fruit a yoghurt and a wee sweet thing. Do you think this is OK?

Does anyone have any recommendations on how to track the different solids given to LO so far? Or any calendar like template that shows which fruit or vegetable to give on each day?

My little one is almost 17 months old and just wondered what people are giving as crisps / snacks around this age? He still has the Ella’s kitchen melty puff crisp things but im wondering if these are a bit babyish for him now, can he have something else?

Exactly as the title suggests, I’m struggling to think of savoury options for snack time? I usually do fruit or some melty crisp things but I need some more interesting ideas! Happy to bake things too! 😀
