Has anyone started solids with their August bub yet? I made the mistake of letting my LO lick my banana last week, and now everytime I eat something she grunts at me until I give her a taste. She has great neck control and can sit up with minimal support, definitely okay in a highchair At first she was just lick...

Has anyone started solids with their August bub yet? I made the mistake of letting my LO lick my banana last week, and now everytime I eat something she grunts at me until I give her a taste. Everywhere I've looked says to start at a minimum of 4 months, but that's technically still 3 weeks away

Does anyone have any tricks to cut down on the grocery shopping budget? I spend around $250 a week but I feel like I’m not even getting much stuff. I normally plan our weekly dinners around what meat ect is on special, my son does eat lots of fruit so that adds up a bit, but we don’t normally buy junk food and I mak...

So this is what the hubby and I are having for dinner, baby is having a puree of apples/blueberries and baby oatmeal later as a snack

Pulled out a bag of veggie straws in front of my MIL and she said ‘we didn’t have that back then, we just got on with it’ It’s a kale flavoured wheat straw, please 🙃😂

Didn’t get on with kendamil - what’s best and doesn’t upset their tummy. My first had cow and gate?

My LO eats most of his food during lunch and hardly anything at dinner. It usually goes like this Breakfast - porridge with fruit Lunch - omelette with veg, toast with butter or something, yoghurt bowl, baked beans Dinner - chicken or fish, mashed veggies, root veg, pasta with cheese He just turned 8 months but I...

Is anyone else's little one quite a fussy eater? My daughter won't eat a roast/Xmas dinner, and also gets quite overwhelmed at the dinner table when there's a lot going on (more people/food/noise). Any tips on what I can do to make her feel included even though she'll be eating a totally different meal? And, for t...

Right, don’t laugh, I know this is ridiculous. But. I’ve just had such a disastrous roast dinner with my 2yo. We probably only have a roast once a month and he’s not really a fan tbh, eats the meat and leaves literally everything else but I like to keep trying. So I did sausages tonight - the kid LOVES sausages, ...

Is anyone else’s baby not really interested in weaning? She wants my food but when I try with her she hates everything bar porridge! I’ve tried all fruits and veg. What am I doing wrong? Feel like a terrible mum

We started off with puree and porridge when she was 6 months, first couple of weeks my LG was loving it but soon started refusing the spoon, turning her head away. I tried pre loaded spoons and she would just flick it every where but her mouth haha. So I started BLW which she does seem more interested in, however I ...

I’m looking to have the perfect meal for the next 2 weeks to drop the baby weight, I’m looking for a perfectly balanced lunch and dinner, that I can cook the same every day. (I don’t and won’t get bored) I was thinking something like chicken rice and veg but not sure on the nutritional value on anything so I’m ask...

I have given my 6 months old pures a few times but she keeps pushing the food out of her mount.i know it's probably a reflex but how do I proceed? Do I wait a couple of weeks ,do I offer only once a day?

Do you use white / red wine stock in dinners if toddler is having some?

What snacks (preferably homemade and actually nutritious!) are people giving their bubs? We’ve got loads of the Ella’s kitchen snacks but looking for something that’ll actually give him calories and nutrition. Thanks!

Hi! Does anybody have any ideas on how to get my 9.5 month old to put food from his hand to his mouth? We have tried guiding his hand and he just refuses to go anywhere near his mouth and we offer finger foods but he just likes to hold it and then crush it! I’m so worried as he should be able to feed himself by now ...

How many bottles/how much and meals does your 10 month old have in a day?

Is anyone else struggling to introduce food? My baby is a great eater (of breast milk) and showed so much interest in what we eat so I foolishly thought she would love food but it has been a week and a struggle. She wants none of it. I’m so defeated 😅 I need to know I’m not the only one. How is everyone else doing?…
