Hey ladies, im a little terrified.. my lo poop has solid food.. I.e chunks of carrot sticks (boiled) or par boiled apple.. shes just had her first tooth come out.. please tell me that's normal?? Or should I still be offering her purees? (Think shes bored of it tbh), and turns it away after a few spoonsful.

I’m at my wit’s end when it comes to my 18 month old eating. He doesn’t eat or doesn’t want to eat anything that’s not picky bits, snacks or cereal. Even his nursery have commented that he doesn’t do meals, only the picky bit type of foods. I’ve kept trying to give him meal type foods but it all ends up on the floor...

I was super interested in doing BLW but with moving states and it being very hectic, we’ve been mostly on purées and oatmeal’s. I want to start giving my little guy more “textured” foods or even start to veer from purées a bit. He has his two bottom teeth and his top two just cut through. Any advice on how to do thi...

So my toddler is pretty good with her food but sometimes I will make a dinner for me and my husband that I don't think is easy for her to eat, so I'll make something different. This usually ends in a meltdown because she wants whats on my plate. Does everyone just give their child a version of their food no matter...

Could anyone provide any tips on weaning? Out LO is 7.5 months so we have been trying consistently and he just doesn’t open his mouth to anything. My understanding is that he should be on 2 meals a day by now but we are not even 1 meal in and it’s starting to stress me out. I have tried everything from BLW to p...

My baby is 6 month she's on solids now is it ok if I gave her yougert and juices

My 10 month old seems so uninterested in food and really isn’t a massive fan of solids. Some days he’ll eat well (a few spoonfuls of pureed foods or a few bites of what I’m eating, loves yoghurt any time of the day) but other days he just turns away and I don’t Want to force him. I keep offering but he’s not a fan o...

Does anybody have any weaning tips? My LB doesn’t really seem interested in trying food, turns his head away when I try to feed him, doesn’t really pick up food himself from the plate. I almost have to prise his mouth open with the spoon for him to try and taste food. I’ve tried everyday for 2 weeks but he doesn’t...

My toddler has started refusing to eat, some days she won’t eat all day! And has got extremely fussy, won’t even eat her favourite meals?! Help!!!!

I need ideas/suggestions for easy healthy snacks and lunches for 12 month old. I'm heavily reliant on shop bought snacks at the moment as I'm struggling to find things she will eat. She LOVES her berries and will eat these all day long, banana can be hit and miss, she won't entertain any other fruit. I'm resorti...

i always get panicked when doing my sons lunch for nursery. i work at his nursery, and yet still i have a fear of being judged. for reference, he is a 3 year old boy. does this lunch look okay? or is it not enough? if i add crisps, that fills it out more but i don’t like to add crisps all the time. so ive packed a p...

What portion size should babies be having at this stage? I feel like my baby gets full too quickly for example if using pouches will gesture she’s finished after only half a pouch 🤷‍♀️ she will have small amount of something else too but not sure if half a pouch is enough ?

If I cooked food today for baby.. how long do you usually leave the food In The fridge 2days? 3days?

I still spoon feed my child she’s 11 months I will encourage self feeding at 1 years old anyone else the same blw didn’t work out very well with my anxiety I much prefer to feed her but I know I should be letting her self feed she’s eating really well so I not worried as she’s eating that’s the main thing but anyone...

My 4 month old shows significant interest in food. Whenever I’m eating anything she will leap forward with her mouth open and try get a bite 🤣 it’s so cute and I feel so evil not offering her any. I know people used to start solids at 4 months but the recommendation is now 6 months. Can I offer her a taste of some…

What sort of meals do you give your babies for lunch/dinner? I’m running out of ideas 🤣

We're often out of the house for breakfast/lunch (my boy isn't really interested in eating breakfast until 10ish). I pack lots of snacks but I feel like they're just not that nutritional, especially as they are essentially his meals (baby crisps, snacks etc). I usually also pack fruit, but does anyone have any ide...

How are people eating dinner with their LO if they are going to bed at 7pm? My husband doesn't get home from work until 5.30 and I can't even start cooking dinner before that because my LG is so clingy she will just scream and moan, so by the time it's ready it's almost her bedtime. At nursery she eats her dinner at...
