Signing my little one up for nursery which starts at 8am. They do a snack at 9ish.. and then lunch at about 11:30am. This would mean giving my son breakfast before nursery at circa 7:30am. He only wakes up around 7 - 7:15am and I usually give him a bottle of milk then: Can’t hack what I’m supposed to do ! And al...

My 5 and a half month old is waking at 4.30am every night. I assumed for a feed so have been making a bottle and he eats a good 5-6oz. He woke up tonight and was babbling a little in bed. My partner got up and he continued to babble. As soon as baby noticed that I was awake, he started screaming. Is that because he ...

What are you packing in your 2 year olds lunches? Picking eating sucks and I still want her to be eating healthier choices. I can’t cook/bake often so I’m limited in that department

🍌🍎🍊🍒🍓 We had a big drama around raspberries tonight over here!

So.. my toddler is so hardheaded. She will starve herself as long as she can before she eats something she doesn’t prefer… all she wants is fruit, applesauce, shells and cheese, pizza, cereal. I struggle to get her to eat anything else .. she’s behind on her weight a little bit and it’s so frustrating.. I do not wan...

Hi ftm here my baby is 10 months old and I’m having a hard time feeding him purées/ food sometimes he enjoys it sometimes he doesn’t. I want to eventually stop breastfeeding hopefully by 1, but him not fully eating purées has me on pause. Any advice?

We just started my 6 month old on Rice Cereal. Was going start earlier, but tummy issues made me hesitant to add anything new. How much/often should i try the rice cereal? His babysitter made a half tablespoon of the cereal and mixed in the formula this morning and he DEVOURED it and wanted more. Had to be persuaded...

About to start my baby on solids and would love some recommendations on brands 🙏

So since I've been pregnant I haven't really been able to indulge in all the food I used to. My baby won't let me eat too much chicken, zero seafood, too much cheese, very little spicy food( and it has to have pretty much no spice or ill get heart burn), sugary food( which i don't mind) and certain vegetables. He's ...

My daughter recently started solids and today I wanted to try letting her have some eggs, which is a common allergen so I'm giving her that and nothing else (besides breast milk obvi) to watch for a reaction. My BD started freaking out saying I can't let her have egg yolks. Her pediatrician literally told us that al...

Hey mamas, question. My daughter is 5 months old and her pediatrician told us not to start purées or solids until 6 months. Another pediatrician told us she could taste test very small bites of food. So we’ve let her suck on mangoes, apples, and oranges. She’s also had a small bite of banana and tiny bit of apple sa...

My little one is 5 months old and we have started our weaning journey. She has a milk allergy and I would love to give her some baby porridge but a lot of them have milk powder in and we have been advised to keep away from dairy until she is 12 months old because she is on the up and we don’t want her to go back dow...

You never met them or been to their house.

My tiny human is 14 months, has a cold and is most likely teething again. As a result he just doesn't want food, and he's normally a right foodie. So I'm not sure how to help him. He has Weetabix in the morning, I offer lunch and dinner. But he picked. He will have some pouches, melting sticks and fruit. But is t...

Any other mums out there struggling with weaning their April baby?? My little boy will zip his mouth shut when he’s had enough (2 spoonfuls if I’m lucky) I’ve tried BLW and puréed. With BLW he will occasionally put it in his mouth but would rather bang it on the tray and purées he will only take a few spoonfuls ...

Baby girl has been doing really well with puree. I’ve tried her with a few finger foods but she just looks at them on her tray. If i put them in her hand she will put them to her mouth but often misses. What am I doing wrong?
