My daughter hates porridge and wheatbix aby ideas what else I could give her for breakfast? She will only let me feed her and has to be pretty smooth tried baby led weaning but she was having none of it Any ideas of any other meals in the dad at moment just doing purree and mashed up egg with milk.

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?

Hello moms, is this yogurt suitable for a one year old?

I’m suspicious cause it keeps happening. They watch her one day a week and every week it’s the same. My husband says she just must not be hungry, but I think they are feeding her other stuff. His mum has commented before that I don’t let her have “anything nice” (we didn’t give her added sugar or salt for the firs...

So I’m really scared to BLW or even do chunkier foods!! I feel like I’m failing my son. I just can’t bring myself to start BLW or chunkier foods. He is getting bored of purées now so I know I need to start somewhere. What can I do to help me with my anxiety for this!!

I clean out fruit and veg with baking soda or vinegar. My 5 year old asks me if she can clean her own strawberries, so I said yes. I left her to it and then she sits and tells me they taste weird. So I bite one and it turns out she used the cat litter deodorizer instead of the baking soda (literally not kept anywher...

What’s the best thing to give baby as finger foods? I’ve given him banana weaning wands and he loves them but want to try other things but don’t know where to start

What are you all planning to give you little ones for dessert on Christmas Day, family are kindly cooking for us but he'll just have a bit of the roast with us for main. But it will be Christmas pudding or mince pies for us for dessert, would you take something baby friendly so he's not missing out, any suggestions?

I’m starting to get really disheartened by my daughter’s eating and just wondered if anyone had any advice, words of encouragement or is in the same boat. She’s 11 months next week. Breakfast is usually porridge or weetabix with fruit mashed in. She eats all of this most days. Lunch is almost always a failure. I...

This is an absolute favourite with my little man. He loves eating it just as it is or added to porridge and a little Greek yoghurt 😋😋

Does your LO throw food? I find it’s mostly when she’s coming to the end of her meal, and she starts playing with her food. She’ll just throw it on the floor and launch her fork across the room! As soon as she shows signs of playing around, I’ll remove her from the table/highchair but it still gets messy. Last nig...

We had our dietician appointment today as my little girl has CMPA and they said when we start weaning to not give any dairy. What food products do you give your little ones that are dairy free? I’m going to do my own research but would like some advice from those who have done it already. Thank you in advance x

How much food and milk are your little ones having? I'll post below an average day for my 8 month old. He seems to eat so much and I'm not sure if this a normal amount for an 8 month old, or if he's eating too much? Or if we should start cutting back his milk (currently between 600-700ml a day)?

Anyone else? I actually don’t even know what to try anymore 🤦🏼‍♀️ She is normally an amazing eater but everything is ‘disgusting’ or ‘I don’t want that’ and it gets flung to the ground 🤦🏼‍♀️ We have stopped her watching Tv while she eats, that doesn’t work. We have tried making what she wants, that doesn’t…

does anyone know if this is ok for baby? I’ve been giving her this with mango fruit and she loves it but the yoghurt says it’s naturally strained. I’ve got a pic on the comments of info on the packaging. I’ve read online that it’s safe for babies and actually really good for them 🤷🏻‍♀️

My little guy is just shy of 13 months and he’s a big boy but his portion sizes are almost the same as my 2 1/2 year old daughter and he still crys for more! Hes started crying as soon as we come down for his bottle of milk and it’s like he’s so thirsty he drains in within like a minute! Hes waking now in the night ...
