My daughter was ill a few weeks ago and off her food (understandable and normal), but she is still refusing most meals now she is better. The last few days she’s probably had a weetabix a day, maybe with a few breadsticks, and her usual favourites like bananas, salmon, curry are just a complete no. I don’t know if s...

My son’s birthday party is going to be from 10.30am-12.30pm. What foods should I serve? I don’t want anything that is too much hassle as I’m already stressed trying to organise the party! 🤦🏼‍♀️

Anyone got any pictures of dinners that they’ve been given their baby recently? My baby is eight months old now feel like he’s just having the same purée stuff all the time at the moment. We have a meal subscription and a lot of the stuff in that he isn’t allowed to eat so find it quite hard thinking of stuff to coo...

Random question someone said to me the other day that I shouldn’t give baby sausages we have Cumberland sausages in our HelloFresh meal next week and was thinking of giving my eight month old baby a little bit to try is this now wrong?

Trying to think of breakfast ideas for my little boy, he can’t have milk or eggs so I’m finding it quite tricky other than through all the time and porridge

Anyone else’s baby not eating much at all? Keep seeing posts about babies eating 3 meals etc a day and some days my 1 year old will only eat a yoghurt and a bit of toast. It’s really starting to get me down 😔

When are we supposed to start solids? Is it by March or April? My baby was born in oct. Is it at beginning of 6 months or end of 6 months? When can we start giving them water? Also, there are some porridge items which is suitable for babies 4-6 months? Does this mean that we can start solids little by little from 6...

are your babies chewing the food? if i give my lo small pieces for ex of cooked carrot he will just swallow them 🥴

I’m not sure but it seems my exclusively breastfed baby does seem interested in solids/sometimes grabs the spoon to feed/learning how to put the spoon in his mouth. But should he be eating more than just purées at 8 months( he turned 8 month a few days ago. Plus because he is nursing so much should we do baby led we...

When did you introduce protein ( chicken, egg and meat) to your little one's weaning journey? I'm currently on day 5 but haven't tried him with any protein. He's enjoying vegetables and fruit purees so far🥹

My son is 5 and he is only weighing half a stone more than his just turned 2 year old sister, he has autism and his diet is very restricted. While we do make and encourage him to eat home cooked, nutritious meals he refuses most of the time. He only eats a handful of foods and misses entire food groups, he is lookin...

my son will eat good amount of food some days and some days he won’t eat anything except 2-3 bites and couple snacks.

What are the Best things to start weaning with at 4 months and best times to feed?

Hello! We are going to be starting foods. I don’t know why but I am feeling overwhelmed about it. I am wanting to start with purées and with vegetables. My question is how often should I feed my baby the purées and when can I switch to other foods? Any tips and advice is greatly appreciated

i’m struggling with blw because my LO enjoys it so much but it stresses me out loads, what are some “minimal stress” foods for my baby😂 he’s 7 months!!

My baby has been eating tremendously well since she began eating at 5-6 months. She would eat anything we feed her. But since three days ago she has been very picky, selective.. sometimes would eat something really well, then the next day we would offer the same thing for lunch and refuse it. It’s just super odd. I ...

My LO at 10 months now and isn’t interested in eating actual food anymore he’ll have one spoon and that’s it’s, I’ve done BLW along side purées since 5 months. Anyone else going thru the same thing or have any advice?

A bit divided whether I should offer a snack. And if yes then when do you normally do it? The reason being is my girl is sooo hungry by 5.30pm that making it to 5.30pm so the whole family can eat together is a bit of a struggle for this last half an hour

Hey guys just looking for some confirmation, I think I’m eating more than I usually do but my little one also seems to be feeding a lot more than usual , she usually goes at the least 2 hrs between feeds, but today she’s fed 4 times in 2.5 hrs and idk why could it be the age she’s at (13weeks) or is it just a change...
