My little girl started with temp Saturday and a cough and since then she’s just not really eating just maybe a cheese cracker now and then she’s been checked over and they said viral. She is drinking her morning and evening milk and will drink water not as much but she will have it during the day. I’m just so worrie...

Can this be a choking hazard for a 15 months old?

Up untill now I have been giving my girl porridge, toast and fruit for breakfast but I want to start introducing cereals. What’s your suggestions? Your little one’s favs?

Looking for a smoothie cup that has a big enough straw with non valve, that cannot be pulled out of the cup!! My toddler will pluck the straw out of his silicone cup and play with it during snack time and it kills me lol

Since she started feeding him, he now takes food out of her hand when she’s eating or jumps up on her table and steals her food when I leave the room. I’ve tried putting our dog outside whilst she’s eating but he just cries at the door so I end up letting him back in. What should I do?

My son is 2. I’m drowning in toddlerhood. Constant whining. Everything is a battle from changing clothes and diapers to bathtime. To meals. To figure out what he’s gonna eat. Every meal he refuses. He will only eat out of someone else’s plate and someone spoon feeds him. Even though he knows how to eat. Everything h...

My baby is 6 months and I realized the last couple weeks he isn’t eating as much. I guess he’s more interested in playing . He used to gain weight pretty consistently but he’s been stuck at 17.2lbs the last 2 weeks . We have his appointment coming up monday. He’s always been around the 50th percentile but I’m scare...

Hey guys I have a 6 month old little girl, and was wondering how often and how much babies around her age should be eating ? And also tips about getting interested In purées and solid food bc atm she has no interest. Thanks for any advice.

My little man, showed all the signs of being ready, a few days before he turned 6 months we started off with purees and it was going well, then moved on to mashed and textured food, he was not a fan and would not eat much. I since have started BLW and will offer 2 meals a day with a variety and still include purees....

Hi all, I've been doing a mixture of mashed up food and BLW - finger foods etc I've been trying to do as much BLW as possible- he's had toast strips, pasta, pancakes, finger sized fruit batons etc - basically typical BLW stuff following all size and prep advice. He's managing fine, gagged on some veg, toast and pan...

Does anyone else’s toddler have an insatiable appetite? My daughter has always loved her food which is great but she seems to want to eat 24/7 and is never satisfied! As soon as she wakes up at 6am she is demanding breakfast then I hear SNAAACK about 10 times a day (we try to just do 1 morning and 1 afternoon snack)...

I have begun weaning my little one last month, as most I started with purees. However, as we have progressed further into this month, he is refusing food altogether. I’m wondering if it’s because it lacks flavour? I have tried different baby friendly seasonings, but still no luck. I’m so tempted to add a pinch of sa...

My little boy is 7 months old and has 2 meals a day. My mum keeps saying to me he should be on 3 meals a day and I just don’t think he’s old enough for 3 meals. I just feel like if he was on 3 meals a day he wouldn’t be having as much milk (breastfed so I don’t know what his milk intake is) and at his age milk is st...

I give it child one treat a day whether it's a biscuit, muffin or packet of skips/pom pom bears. What does everyone else give for treats apart from fruit and yoghurt and how often?

My baby boy born Aug 29 will only open his mouth for baby porridge. He won't try any of the other purées I've made him, even if I sneak a spoon in somehow he just doesn't want anything to do with it. He does take the food right to his mouth if I offer him for example a stick of cucumber in his hand but I have no c...

Hi ladies, I feel like I need some inspiration for my little one’s breakfast! We usually have porridge (regular, baked, overnight oats, etc.) with a variety of fruits, cottage cheese, avocado, sourdough bread with Philadelphia, cucumber, and tomatoes. It’s starting to feel a bit repetitive, so I’d love to hear you...

My 7 month old isn’t really interested in finger foods but he loves Melty puffs and wafers but that’s it. Is anyone else’s little one still on purées?

Hi guys, was just looking for some recommendations of what you guys give your 1 year olds for breakfast lunch and dinner. My little girl has a good appetite but I’m interested to hear of other foods I can offer her as meals, so would love to hear your meal breakdowns 😇

Any tips on how to read to baby? Whenever I hold a book all he wants to do is hold it and then eat it, I'm having zero success 😅

My little girl is unwell with a fever today, her appetite is absolutely horrible. She would only eat the Ella’s kitchen pouches, and some sweet things such as brioche buns. I normally wouldn’t give her things like that as they contain more sugar and salt. But I would let her have anything today as long as she eats t...
