Moms, how do you get over the fear that your baby is going to choke when eating solids? My baby is 8 months old - 6 months adjusted. She is mainly eating purées right now. What kinds of foods did you guys start with that was not purées? How do you get over that fear of choking?

Over the last week my baby has eaten less and less each day and today he’s eaten almost nothing. He’s had a few blueberries and a fruity bar. He had about 6 oz of milk this morning and he’s just had 7 oz now before bed. But that’s it!! He’s refused all his favourites, wouldn’t even have a bite of banana! He’s a lit...

Hi Just a really deflated first time mum of a 2 year old who is an extremely fussy eater. Dint get me wrong he does eat but only foods that he likes which is very minimal.

He used to eat so much and out of nowhere he stopped 🤦🏻‍♀️

Is anyone else's little one terrible at eating at the moment? My little girl literally needs to be hand fed, or she won't eat even though she says she's hungry 🙈 The threenager stage is not a joke either 😳

Is anyone else’s little one hardly eating? We’ve had a cold cough few weeks ago then around a week of being better and now poorly again. So for around 4 weeks she’s been off her food, eats breakfast most days but other than that refuses lunch and dinner, will graze on bits in the day or at lunch may have a yoghurt ...

Can anyone please help or even just sympathise 😅 My LG is 9 months and we are so behind with weaning. The only thing she will eat is porridge. I’ve tried lots of individual veggie purées and the only thing she took to was sweet potato. Even fruits she isn’t interested in. Weetabix was also a no. I know it’s all…

Are you doing this around 24 weeks or 6 months to their birthday? I know the signs of readiness but wondering what everyone is classing as ‘around 6 months’ ☺️

My girl is very small, is her posture in the highchair ok? We started purées today and she loved it but was leaning forwards slightly. She is 5.5 months, her milk intake has reduced no matter what I try so HV said to try starting solids with her.

Is it normal for my 19 month old to side eye ? she eats and side eyes while eating .. is that normal ?

My LO had been eating well, mostly BLW but would also take a spoon if offered. He is usually very curious, would always inspect by squishing between his fingers and try pretty much anything offered to him. But suddenly the past 3-4 days he’s just gone off his food, refusing to try it at all. He’s got a cold but then...

Is anyone else’s 20 month old toddler being so picky and rarely eating? My son is starting to not like his favorite foods, looks at the spoon before being fed and says “stop”. He’s literally living off of milk, Cheetos and Mac and cheese because that’s all he’ll eat but hey at least it’s something right? Let me know...

Hi all. How have you managed your activite baby and the dog bowls? I got to a point where I would feed him outside but now we're having work done to the garden before summer I don't wanna leave him out there so he can eat something he's not meant to. He's only just turned 1 and still thinks everything is food. My li...

I know this is such a silly question but we are going to Butlin’s just me and my toddler (almost two) and I have no idea how to navigate the buffet for breakfast/dinner. Did you guys just carry your child in one hand and plate up the other? I’m worried he will try and grab the hot food/plates
