Hi! I am a single mom and have an almost two year old son, and I desperately need help with meal ideas! We live alone, and my son goes to daycare which covers breakfast, snacks, and lunch everyday, but after work, we both get home and only have about 2-3 hours max before he goes to bed.

Long story short, my husband has been staying home with my son while I went back to work after maternity leave and he has been job hunting.

Can people show me/tell me their portion sizes for their little ones please? I’m struggling to find the right balance for the amount of food!

How much does your 1 year old babies weigh.. my son’s dr says he’s underweight .. he weighs 25 pounds and 9oz. Also, any snack,lunch &/or dinner ideas?

So my baby girl just turned 4 months old, and my doctor told me to start feeding her solids like very bland vegetable and fruit purees. I’m so nervous as I think she’s still too young and can’t really sit up straight or hold her neck properly. What do you all think?

Like can’t she see I’m literally making her dinner right now… She’s going to be too full to eat dinner now 😒 am I right to be annoyed?

Baby won’t transition from purée food. I’ve tried lumpy food she spits it out then refuses to eat. Then things like toast, egg, porridge fingers.. she will pick it up eventually put it in her mouth then gag and puke everything out. Feeling deflated not sure how to progress

Please tell me I’m not alone, has anyone’s 15month old stop eating like usual, for about 2 days now my son doesn’t want to eat his breakfast or dinner he might take a few nibbles but that’s it, I am still breastfeeding so I’m hoping that’s helping but I’m kinda worried now, I have to wait until Monday to call his pe...

What constitutes as a full meal for a 9 month old. Not sure if I’m feeding enough 🤷🏻‍♀️ some of it just ends up on the floor or elsewhere. How much milk should I be offering? Thanks

My baby likes to eat but wants me to feed it to her. She knows how to grab things but just won’t pick up food. She picks up her toys and everything else in front of her but won’t do it with food. She’ll reach for it and then not want to touch it and cries. What do I do and is this normal?

My 18 month old has been tantruming like absolute crazy this week. And I mean SCREAMING and crying like she’s being hurt. All because we didn’t give her a specific food.
