How are you all thinking of managing baby food whilst on holiday? My LO is a big eater and I give him home cooked food when he’s not in nursery. What am I missing? Please guide

My LO is 18 months. He had silent reflux as a baby and CMPA. He is still dairy free. He was and still is a very whingy baby. I know teething etc plays a part but all his needs are met and more. He's comfortable, fed, has water etc, pain relief and he just seems miserable 90% of the day. I'm at my wits end with it as...

Does anyone else's toddler just not eat a lot at all and survive off air and photosynthesis??!!

How much milk/water/juice does your LO drink in a day? He still has milk more than water and hasn’t had juice before. Wondering if I should be switching some of his milk for water/juice instead now as he’s still having a fair few bottles a day along with food Tia

My little boy is 16 months old and still only eats a really limited diet. For breakfast he’ll eat things like toast, crumpets, pancakes, porridge, weetabix. For lunch he’ll eat a tiny sandwich with cheese and ham or a bit of a savoury muffin. He’ll eat endless fruit and yoghurt. He won’t eat any ‘dinner foods’. I’v...

We went out for brunch for Mother’s Day so he had a late breakfast but he definitely can’t skip lunch. I made a snack plate and popped it down in his playroom for him to run around and pick at. I’ll put him down for a nap and bring the snack plate out when he wakes up if he doesn’t finish it before. Watermelon, gr...

My little boy is coming up to 5 and a half months and I want to start preparing for when he weans (going to start on purée) but I have so many questions 😭 like how many times a day do I feed him to start? How many bottles does he have? How will I know if he’s not just gagging??

Anyone else 22 Month old not eating.. because same, its driving me mad and making me feel a failure because shes not eating and i dont want her to loose weight.. any help appreciated

We are doing 3 meals and 2 snacks a day, but lately she is always hungry and I’m running out of ideas.

I am encountering difficulties with my 20-month-old daughter, who insists on drinking only formula milk and refuses solid food, despite being introduced to solids at six months. Can fellow mothers offer advice? Have your children gone through a similar phase? What approaches worked best for you?

Hi moms! Where I live, the weather is finally starting to get better. With that being said, I want take my boy out more. The only concern is he gets hungry around 3 hours. How are you keeping milk close by to go on adventures? I want to go to the zoo with him but I’m scared of how to handle feedings! Thank you!

Hi! I am a single mom and have an almost two year old son, and I desperately need help with meal ideas! We live alone, and my son goes to daycare which covers breakfast, snacks, and lunch everyday, but after work, we both get home and only have about 2-3 hours max before he goes to bed. I need quicker and easier mea...

Does anyone else really panic giving their baby finger foods? My baby is 7.5 months old and I’ve mostly given her purees so far and she’s worked up to lumpier textures. I’ve given her a few melty sticks to try as finger foods and sticks of fruit but it gives me such bad anxiety and I absolutely hate it! I’m worried ...

Anyone else basically not able to eat meat rn🤢 im only 8 weeks but this baby doesn’t seem to like meat.

Long story short, my husband has been staying home with my son while I went back to work after maternity leave and he has been job hunting. Baby boy is on solids and formula now but when I go to work 4 days of the week, my husband isn’t good at giving the solids so my son only eats a solid meal at dinner when I come...

Does your baby now use cutlery or are they still spoon fed?

Has anyone introduced solids at 4 months?

My little girl is turning one next week and we have invited some of her little friends over to celebrate. I’d like to make some cupcakes that the little ones could enjoy and I’m looking for a simple recipe, anyone have a tried and tested one? Picture of my lil bub 🫶🏻

Can people show me/tell me their portion sizes for their little ones please? I’m struggling to find the right balance for the amount of food! My girl is 7 months and is like a hungry hippo 😂 I’m doing puree/ a little bit of baby weaning. For example, an Ella’s pouch, should they have the whole thing in one…

How much does your 1 year old babies weigh.. my son’s dr says he’s underweight .. he weighs 25 pounds and 9oz. Also, any snack,lunch &/or dinner ideas?
