gals i’m weaning my baby at 3.5 months… just pureed fruit and baby porridge- thoughts?

Random question, but how is everyone eating? Like, eating breakfast/lunch/dinner? I have a baby who won’t be put down and hates a carrier, so have been skipping breakfast and lunch now for a couple months (I know I can eat whilst holding him, but making food is another story!) But recently, I’ve been really struggli...

Hello, my 11/12week old doesn’t show hunger cues. Like I look out for them and if she’s hungry it’s more she cries. She eats her hands all of the time and ‘rooting’ she does even after bottle and it’s like she’s ’trying to bite’ she’s recently found her hands too. Anyone else?

Baby boy is 4 months old and his Doctor has invited us to slowly start introducing solid foods. When did you decide to start solids? We will still give primarily breast milk until well beyond a year.

Our Doctor has invited us to slowly start introducing solids. Has anyone else started? Is it too soon? He can sit for brief periods of time unassisted but we are still working on balance.

Any suggestions on how to start or where to start. Today doctors told me I need go rarity due to one of my twins having dairy issues and what good snack brands that are dairy free. Have no idea what to eat or not little stressed about it

My girl had steamed greens and moussaka (lamb, potato, aubergine in) for dinner. I use some kefir plain yoghurt at times to make greens more creamy on taste (dip them in it). (Chopped kale, tenderstorm broccoli finger food, smashed peas etc) She just would eat and eat at times. Today some came up (she’s not bother...

So my son is currently on hypoallergenic milk, I tried him on baby rice last week and it seemed to cripple him has anyone got any tips on what to try and wean him on?

My LO is 5 months and we are getting closer to complementary feeding, but I’m feeling so anxious, I have no idea how to do it, how many solid meals I have to give him? what time of the day? how I give him water? (I saw it’s not recommended to give water in his regular bottles), what food should I give him? how many ...

Hi, my little one is just over 13 months now and is being extremely fussy with food. She eats breakfast of porridge / Weetabix / fruit and then lunch she’ll have sandwiches or omelette or similar but anything else she just refuses to even try. I make her pasta and rice dishes with veg but she just says ‘no’ and turn...

Just found out, as my son turns 1, that he is intolerant to dairy, oat, coconut... among many many more 😭 I always suspected, but doctors dismissed all of his symptoms. I'm having major mum guilt right now for not pushing and giving him a regular cows milk formula for so long. Doctors won't prescribe him any milk…

My little one is 2 in December and she’s so weird with food. If I cut fruit up and put it in a bowl or on a plate, she won’t eat it. If I put it in a small pot, sometimes she’ll eat it. However at her grandparents when they give her a small pot of fruit she eats it no problem. I was always told to show them when you...

Help! He won’t eat anything at dinner times and other meals are becoming a struggle too. He’s suddenly got an aversion to everything. I couldn’t even get him to eat potato waffles and they are usually a sure get! What do I do?

Is anyone's else's nearly 4 year old not eating at dinner time (evening meal) I make a meal knowing she will eat it, but no I don't want dinner, not I don't like it, just doesn't want to eat it. Been going on for a while. She's OK during the day i don't let snacks interfere with meals. Just SO frustrating!

Any tips on this please x

Anyone have a fussy toddler or any tips, my little boys diet consists of - breadsticks, plain pasta, plain rice…. He will not eat anything else, we always make him what we are eating but he will throw it away or on the floor or just not eat. Apparently he eats his lunch at nursey although I hardly believe that! Man...

My baby is 6 months old and we’ve started weaning her about a month ago. She has just breakfast, the odd little snack and sometimes an evening meal. When do you start giving your baby 2/3 meals a day?x

Currently having an issue with my toddler throwing up her bedtime bottle and wondering whether to adjust her dinner time...

I need to diversify! 🧢👏🏼🥤👍🏽

So I was so overwhelmed with the weaning after the first couple of weeks and gave my baby the jars and pouches (I was starting back to work too so these were handy) but baby will not eat anything I make. I know she doesn’t even know the difference between my cooking and pouches but she just will not entertain it if ...
