My two-year-old used to eat anything and everything. Now I feel like I can barely get her to eat. She won’t eat any meat, including eggs which really sucks. I usually make her an egg in some form every morning. her diet right now is french fries, mac & cheese, and cereals. She doesn’t even eat berries anymore she ju...

Little girl just turned 6 months! Started weaning a few weeks back! Still lots of gagging or just holding the food in her mouth, or if offered something to hold like an Ella’s kitchen puff she’s not aware to bring it to mouth to taste! Feel like we’re not making any progress! starting to get a little bit stressed a...

My toddler has yet again figured out my new baby proof locks. She opens my freezer pulled out the fruit riot, opened the utensil drawer and grabbed the scissors. I haven’t taught her how to use them but apparently she’s flippen mastered the art of cutting some how. I can’t with this kid anymore. Now I have two bot...

Any tips on how to stop my little girl swiping all of her food off her tray with her arms? 🙃 She’s doing it on purpose not by accident and I’ve tried just putting a few bits on rather than the whole lot and she still does it. I’ve tried telling her no but she just laughs 🙃

Hi Mums, I have a ten month old boy, he’s a thriving baby, very much still formula fed, but I’m getting worried about weaning him. He still loves his milk, and I have tried giving him mushed foods, but he’s just not interested. I’m worried to death about giving him whole foods, even if they are chopped up. I’m home...

Do parents realise that crisps are not an healthy snack? Why are some kids offered crisps daily? Enlighten me please

What age did everyone introduce ground meat to their babies? I made some lamb koftas for my 7 month old today. He seemed to really enjoy the taste, but struggled with the texture. Lots of gagging and he even threw up. Should I wait a bit before I offer him ground meat again? Or should I try again and maybe serve it...

I have tried various purées with my 6 month old. I have made my own and tried the pouches…vegetables, fruit and baby rice. He doesn’t like any of them…just tries to spit it out as soon as I put it in his mouth. I see so many babies younger eating lots of different foods, so makes you worry. Just wanted to get other ...

How much food are you feeding your 6month old?

My baby is 7.5 months old and still has zero interest in solid food. He does eat tea, which is puree that I have to feed him but he's not interested in other meals and he doesn't bring any food to his mouth or even play with it or touch it. I am combi feeding while I'm trying to wean him off breastfeeding and I'm ...

Y’all, what are we doing for solids? How often and how much? Right after feeding milk? Snack in between feeds? Im also confused about cereal. How is a baby with no teeth supposed to eat that? 😂 i’m preparing sweet potatoes rn for his first official puree but I’m starting to get nervous 😭 honestly it’s not even that…

Do you all do breakfast/lunch/dinner bites or once a day type of thing where they get to explore foods?

My LO just got confirmed with having an egg allergy. What are some good egg free recipes for breakfast or egg replacements I could use.

My daughter is 3.5 weeks old and is only just over her birth weight. She is EBF but she just isn't that bothered about feeding, I generally need to prompt her rather her showing signs of hunger and she often only feeds for 5-10 mins. I don't really know when I'm asking, if anything, it's just my eldest daughter seem...

How much should they actually be consuming? My LO loved food to begin with. The past month or so he is not as interested (his first bottom teeth just came through). He will only actually eat when we spoon feed him or give him the food to his mouth. Even this he doesn’t always take it. We give him a solid (appropria...
