My almost 8 month old has been on pouches since 5 months. Currently he has half a pouch for breakfast, the other half for dinner and a full pouch for tea. We have offered him solid foods but he refuses to engage with them. I made spaghetti Bolognese cut up small for him and he kept choking and when I offered him mor...

Can you share your babies food portion size? For example, how many tablespoons of porridge would you say you serve for breakfast

anyone got any suggestions of what I can give to my son food wise or brands of food which are dairy free and won’t trigger reflux. His diet is limited as he can’t have purées as this triggers his reflux & most baby yougurt is not dairy free or has acidic fruit in it. Any suggestions appreciated 🫶🏽

My little boy was poorly last week with sickness and diarrhoea. I put it down to the flu he had so didn’t think anything of it. The only strange thing was he had a FULL day of food and the only thing that he was bringing up was blueberries. Fast forward to this morning and again woke up him covered in sick with only...

Pretty sure my little guy is teething, though I can’t see anything yet. He’s been refusing all solid food the last few days when he normally eats everything. Literally has one spoonful then starts blowing raspberries at me and clamps his mouth shut. Also drinking bare minimum milk, we were down to 3 bottles anyway b...

I’m 11+ 3 and my husband and I left our home in LA since the air quality was so bad and I was worried for baby. I’m struggling with being displaced from my home since I’m super uncomfortable all the time and we don’t have a kitchen at hotel. I was being so good about cooking at home but obviously cannot right now. I...

We made homemade “subway” sweet onion chicken teriyaki sandwich but my little got a deconstructed one she don’t quite understand sandwiches yet lol

My baby is 10 months and he loves his food and is on 3 meals & formula. We are travelling for a week and I am just wondering what kinda meals I can be giving him? I don’t want to just be feeding him pouch food the whole time. He can obviously have fruits & some veggies boiled etc but when we are out and about what ...

My toddler (2yr old boy) is such a picky eater . He loves to snack but when it comes to dinner he’ll only eat fries , Sandwiches, spaghetti and chicken(sometimes) 😵‍💫. When does the pickiness stop 🤦🏽‍♀️?

Regardless I want to make his food. Not sure I wanna do BLW as I work and won’t have control like I want over it when I’m away. To me the baby food maker I know is specifically for the baby and isn’t gonna be used like another blender in the house for multiple things. But then again it’s another “thing” taking up sp...

Hey guys so my 15 month old has had a tough weekend with not eating anything. He is drinking water, juice and milk but not eating food . He is getting over a cough from the weekend but not feverish. Keeps picking at his mouth a lot so I don’t know what it can be besides teething? I am taking him to the doctor if he ...

Is anyone actually already using the “4+ month safe” weaning stuff? Such as the cow & gate porridge powder or the pouches of purred veggies? My LO is 4 months today and we have exhausted all options to reduce reflux. Drs can’t do anymore and health visitor said introducing foods can help. Although I’m a massive...

My toddler constantly throws his food off of his tray. How do I stop this behavior? I have tried telling him food stays on. I’ve told him no and stopped his hand when he tries to throw. I’ve taken him out when he throws and waited for a few mins then put him back and repeat. None of that is effective. Ideas? We don’...

My 15 month old just refuses to eat eggs. Have tried every form, camouflaging it, mixing it..from slowly to less quantities..everything. But he just doesn’t eat it. Please help on how I can intriduce eggs to my baby.

What did your baby have for dinner tonight?? We had tuna mayo pasta.. I’d say he semi-enjoyed but most ended up on the floor 😂 Need some inspo for for the rest of this week pleaseeeee x

Hi everyone! So my baby is 12 months old. Since the start of her weaning journey, pretty much all her food has been really mashed up and we never did BLW. We’ve started to introduce different textures and I aim to move away from mashed up food a bit more because I just feel like I’ll be spoon feeding her or mashi...

For some reason my husband is against purées and giving baby any food in general. He seems to think our baby doesn’t need any of it and can survive off of only breast milk until she’s a year. I don’t understand why he isn’t supportive or purées and letting her try new things. I feel like he’s so against her learning...

I’m going to start my baby on baby rice and porridge but as a first time mum I don’t have a clue what to do! Does anyone have a good routine etc to do it in? Do I feed him first then do bottle after? And how often? And when I wean onto other food how do you do it? I’m so stuck please help!

So my little boy started nursery last week. This week has been his first full day week. I’ve been called in today to pick him up because he just wouldn’t eat or drink anything offered to him. When I got there I gave him his water bottle and he drank it straight away.. I’m so torn I go back to work next week. Has any...
