Looking for advice from US moms and UK expat mums in America! We’ve just moved to the US (NY state) and I’ve been hunting down similar snacks to back home for my toddler - the likes of Ella’s Kitchen. I’ve hunted down Trader Joes (HUGE FAN OF EVERYTHING!!) and found Earths Best at Walmart to be similar to the kid...

No judgement here but anyone’s kiddos love eating books?! We try to avoid having them laying around as she will just go and munch them. However we want to move her into a toddler bed where she can get in and out herself but can’t have books in the room as she may have a midnight snack.. And yes she does get fed!

Hello! Can anyone help me with a free app or social media channel to follow for baby food ideas? I have a 6 month old baby, but most of the videos that I see on socials are a bit scary for me and I don't agree with what they offer a baby that has no teeth 😅.

My baby is 6 months in less than 2 weeks and we were advised last week by paediatrician to start weaning. He’s been showing signs now for ages, he tries to grab foods from you, stares at you while eating and will smack his lips 🤣 Anyways, we started on Friday and he’s not taking to it well at all. (PLS KNOW I…

I love seeing everyones ideas on here it helped me out alot when my son was a bit younger. He's now 15m, and I'm starting to question if he's eating too much or too little. How do you know how much is enough?

Tofu nuggets with herby potatoes, broccoli and homemade ketchup for my 14 month old.

Does anyone have any recommendations on jar or pouch savoury baby foods? My LO doesn’t really seem to be a fan of homemade purées but my sister got her a couple sweet pouches and she loves them. So figured might as well try a couple savoury ones to see if she likes them too.

When to go from two meals to three meals a day? When did everyone also go from 4 bottles a day and drop to 3? My baby is turning 7 months and i feel 3 meals a day with her bottles around them is too much intake? Do i just stick to breakfast and dinner. Would love to know everyone elses eating and bottle schedules.

My LG usually has a pouch / blended meal for her evening meal. The last few days she’s becoming quite frustrated and batting the spoon away when I try to feed her, I think she’s ready to feed herself. At lunch time I do usually give her toast or something she can feed herself with and she seems to be a lot calmer th...

My boy just won’t eat …. He will eat a few bites of an apple that’s his breakfast ! Today he had a small cheese cracker and some crisps and a water melon ….thats it I am the point of giving up all I do is cook for it to be binned

What food is everyone giving their little ones? one thing at a time or blending together different ingredients, like a whole meal in pure form?

I'm probably being stupid but does this sound like a lot of salt? For tea tonight my daughter had homemade vegetable soup with cheese on toast with it Normally I don't get bothered about it too much until my partner said that a stock cube went into it, just a normal Tesco's own one. My daughter had about 10 spoonfu...

First time mum here & my LO is nearly 9 months…..food size they keep saying pincher grasp but how do I know when this has happened?

I know there’s been research to say baby led weaning is the way forward and when my LO was between 6-12 months I embraced it fully. Now he’s 3 he’s a terrible eater. He always wants to use his hands, plays with his food, rarely likes everything i offer from one day to the next so rarely finishes a meal and no joke...

What are your favorite puree utensils for just starting out? we literally only have one spoon so i'm looking for recommendations. Bonus points if it's on amazon and i can order quickly. TIA!

We're starting purées this weekend. What are you favorite utensils for starting out? we only have one spoon and one fork 😂

I wonder if I started my baby with puréed food too early. He is not fully sitting yet but he does sit in a bouce chair and when I feed him with baby cereal mixed with his formula he likes it a lot. He is not choking or anything… what are the thoughts on this?

We’ve just moved onto BLW after purées. My baby’s has loved finger food like melts sticks. Any solids we give him at the minute for finger food he’s biting then spitting out. Any ideas?

Hi Baby is now on 3 bottles. Morning night and late morning and dropping to morning and night next week with three meals. I keep seeing online that babies under 12 months don’t need snacks but if they’re not snacking how can I keep her going from 1pm to tea time? Do people give snacks? I tend to make these myself ...

When are you starting your babies on food like baby porridge?? My little girl is 4 months old and a few people are questioning me why I haven’t got them on porridge yet… Should I start her on it or continue with just her milk??
