hi everyone , Basically my little one is 14 months and he’s not really having his meals anymore . I do BLW , and he’s not really interested .

Is it only my baby that has little interest in food? She puts every random thing in her mouth but food she touches with her tongue and throws it away! Purée foods she has a few mouthfuls and not interested. Can someone help me where I am going wrong?! 🫠

Hi all my little one is exclusively breastfed. Now we have started solids he isn't on boob for long during the day. However he also won't drink much either (and definitely not water despite tempting him with added fruits and juices etc). I am worried because he is not having full nappies either. Today's nappy was pr...

Starting to lose my mind a bit LO (3 months 2 weeks) is hungry but too fussy to eat sucks for a few seconds then pulls away and gets really fussy physically bending his back and twisting his head away then come back to suck and the same circle continues. Also noticed he went from consuming 4oz in 1 feeding to consum...

Me my partner, his mum who only joins our dinner and baby are spending around £350 a month on food. This seems like quite a lot and I always filter to look for cheapest of each product and look the just essentials range on asda. This is excluding any baby related items like baby’s formula and nappies or any pouche...

Good finger foods for 7.5m old? She loves her crisps, biscuits and toast, trying to encourage to feed herself a few more bits, easy for her to keep hold of, suggestions please as my mind feels blank! Also what kinda meals are your LO’s currently having?

Hi all! My son is currently on mashed or lumpy puree meals and with some finger food. Fingers crossed food is mostly the dummy with the fruit in to hold or boiled veggies or melty sticks, or pasta. I would love some ideas for everything from breakfast, and dinner. We have lots of purées to use up in the freezer ...

What sort of things are you putting in your little ones packed lunch or offering as snacks? We try and be low processed but find it hard when on the go or needing something quick?

What are you giving your babies for lunch and dinner? And is anyone not really doing BLW yet? We have attempted a few times but my baby will take a massive bite out of the appropriately cut food we give him so obviously a choking hazard and it just terrifies me and we have to stop, so still feeding him myself. We a...

I have a friend who suffers really badly with anxiety and as a result isn’t eating. She’s already very slim and I am worried that she’s going to make herself really ill. Does anyone know any great high calorie snacks or anything I can buy for her to encourage her to eat, even a little something! Tia x

My son (2) is seated in highchair for every meal and snack. Otherwise, he runs around with food and won't sit still. Having problems at the moment with constantly tipping and throwing his food (1 bite of 1 thing. Throwing another at the same time and it's like this for the full meal). Do you have any ideas on how I...

My little girl is 6 months and we started weaning a week ago. She seemed really ready staring at us eat and sometimes trying to take stuff off our plates obviously alongside the other indicators for weaning eg sitting up. We have been doing veg purees and finger foods and have been letting her explore the food but s...
