I know the 90-90-90 rule for sitting baby down for eating. But I’m working with an older high chair that doesn’t adjust as much as those new ones. As a result, it’s not my baby’s favorite place to eat. Sometimes he snacks on the go and I spend time cleaning my floors. Today inspiration struck. Cause he just wanted...

I’m still doing fairly basic “meals” for my baby (only 1 a day but looking to increase) - when we started weaning she loved absolutely everything but now she will barely eat anything and cried a lot. She has lost interest in softer food on a spoon, but will entertain finger food a little more. Any advice?x

So I'm thinking of making cottage pie for dinner which I've never actually cooked before in general! I was going to make a portion for my 9 month old and then add all the salt etc for mine and my partner's food. But I will say the texture of the mince is making me feel a little wary, would it be a choking hazard? ...

I see these videos of moms making these grand ol breakfasts for their 12 month olds, and I usually feed my baby milk and whatever I am eating for breakfast, which isn’t too much, sometimes oatmeal and cheese, sometimes bread with bacon and cheese and a fruit, I feel like I’m not being a good mom because I’m not doin...

Homemade Sausage rolls, cucumber…. With trail mix, ritz cracker, cheese string and yogurt for toddler.

Any suggestions what to give my 11 month old. I will serve her food that we eat so she gets served a variety of foods but will not eat much at all or spit out what she doesn’t like.

So I’m just wanting to know what other people are feeding their nearly one year old. I give 4 bottles a day still and that’s 7am and then 11am then 3pm then before bed at 7.30pm So for breakfast I give one weetabix sometimes or I give a Ella’s banana breki pouch or toast with the sides off For lunch I give an El...

Hi! We're getting ready to go to Pennsylvania from NY on Thursday, or LO (11mo) second long distance trip. Last time she was still just on her bottle so it was easy. But now she rarely wants her bottle and DEMANDS finger foods for meals/ snacks and juice/ water when she's thirsty. Trip is about 5 hours and we have p...

More times than not my 2 year old will try and leave the dining table after one bird bite, honestly lives off air most days, nightmare!

I have only given my 7 month old homemade purées as I am too anxious to give her solid foods. I was planning on waiting till she has some teeth so I feel more at ease but I’m wondering will it effect her in the long run not starting finger food earlier? Is anyone else having this experience or any advice please

My 5 month old is currently on her weaning journey (due to doctors advice). However she only likes fruity pouches, custard etc. Whenever she had veg, even porridge she just pulls a face and spits it out. Do I just keep trying? Any advice would be great!

How long do your little ones feed for that are 5 months or older ?

We have a long walk home from school and my kids are so hungry after school lunches 4 hours earlier, so I’ve started having to bring a lunchbox of snacks every day. We have fruit, biscuits, crackers, breadsticks, yoyos, rice cakes, bars, probably more! Which feels ridiculous and wasteful. Plus I’m having to stop ev...

Hey mummas, Wondering whats the best way to introduce egg to your 7 month old. Since its an allergen do you introduce only a tiny bit or as much the baby wants to have (considering 1 egg)

When we first started weaning she would eat anything we gave her, but now she just whines until she gets fruit 😢 There are some things like pasta she will eat, but anyone else been through this? It is possible she is teething... But who knows.

This might be my most stupid question so far, but I want to buy my son some bubbles but every time I look for some it says not suitable for children under 3 years old - is it the bubble solution that is not safe or is it because the kits come with small parts that are a choking hazard?

My toddler doesn’t really eat while he is teething, which concerns me because at most throughout the whole day he will have one full meal. I offer him all three meals bf/lunch/dinner but he only picks at it. Again he is only like this when he is teething but teething can last weeks!! All he wants is milk and we are ...

Can anybody give me ideas on how to start the BLW? My baby is 6 months and I have no idea in how to start with food!

We’re just starting out with baby led weaning but I’m so anxious about choking and trying to get more comfy with it. What were some of your least stressful foods to start with? My daughter is almost 7 months with no teeth yet. All we’ve tried are omelet strips, sweet potato spears, and purées.

Is anyone elses toddler a very picky eater? He will only eat fruit, any kind of snack cracker, fruit snacks/strips and other kinds of snack foods, and the only meat he will eat is chicken and it has to be chicken patty or chicken nuggets and he only like two different brands of them🤣 Just wondering if anyone else…
