Would you be okay with the provider only providing breakfast to the children and we as parents have to send in their lunch & noon snack? Or do you think the provider should handle all meals or none at all

My LO still isn't showing much interest in food - none at all for solids and limited for purees and things! I'm getting worried!

What are some foods your baby has tried? So far my baby likes waffles (plain), we also do purées so hes had a lot of those but I want him to try some solid fruit and veggies with him! Also if you have any meal inspo lmk! (He’ll probably just eat what we eat but modified)

Anyone else’s baby is really cranky when outside? Especially in restaurants? From the moment I sat her down in the high chair she would want to be held or want to be out. It’s really hard for us to enjoy a meal out as a family of 3. I bring loads of different food and toys for her, and I also order something from th...

Does anyone struggle to get your LO to eat all day. Mine is such a picky eater we basically do a banana at breakfast or yogurt. Lunch is spaghetti of some sort. Sometimes chicken salad. And dinner he gets super fussy not wanting anything until it’s late or nothing at all. I feel bad when I can’t get three meals in. ...

My baby is 9.5months.. At what age do you stop making separate food for baby? Meaning if I’m making spaghetti Bol.. baby can have the same dish as mine supposed to me making another dish without salt ?

Hi, I'm BF my 14 month old and I've had comments from people that he isn't eating enough solids. We eat 3 meals and 1 to 2 snacks per day. Having said that the amount he eats can be quite varied. Sometimes a lot, sometimes not. He's 85th centile so no weight issues. But doesn't sleep through the night and BF minimum...

Hi moms! question about meals! What does your daily feeding/milk and water routine look like for your 8-month-old babies? Quantity and timing during the day? My son just started daycare, and I'm a little lost. Thanks in advance! 😃

I’ve tried all methods of weaning with my 6 months old baby for over a month already and she is still not interested by solids. I read so many books about it but can’t find a solution. I’m exhausted but try to not show my frustration and keep trying but sometimes it’s really tough… I wanted it to be a fun activity w...

Would you use the same silicone dishes and cutlery for your 2nd baby for mealtimes? I have everything left over from my first baby who'll be 2 next month and everything is still good condition so I'm wondering if it's okay to reuse rather than buying totally new sets as money is a bit tight atm

My LG used to love porridge but has completely gone off it. Her favourite seems to be yoghurt each morning but I’m worried this is getting boring. I sometimes make her granola bars and she will have a little toast but I need some more ideas please! Does anyone give their little one cereal? If so what do you give ...

Hi all, my 18 month old hit his head yesterday, and threw up 3 hours later and then another half hour. I called 111 and took him to a&e, they checked him over and said no head injury. On the way back after a snack and water he was sick again, and this morning he’s threw up his toast and water. He can’t seem to keep ...

Can I give my 8month old 10+ Ella’s kitchen pouches as it’s more lumpy? Is anyone else doing this? X

Is there a guide that shows which teeth a child has and what would be considered edible or a potential choking hazard for a toddler/baby? I know what baby can have but im looking for an easy to read chart for hubby since he wants to get mad at me when i try to warn him when he goes to give her a huge bite of somethi...

My 6 month old has almost stopped eating during the day. He normally nurses every 2.5 - 3.5 hours. Yesterday it was more like 4 hours and today he only would nurse twice as well as wouldn't eat any of the purees I offered. I've been trying everything I can think of and he just gets mad most of the time when I try to...

What’s the best food blender/steamer. My LO is 1 next month. No particular budget but want it to be something she can use for a while. 😊

Not necessarily picky eating but my son just doesn’t seem to have the desire to eat. I’ll offer say a hotdog for lunch which he used to love and now he says no. Last night was the first night in a while that he actually did really good on eating dinner and we had pasta but I offered pasta for lunch and he said no 🤷
