My son is going through the terrible twos hard right now, he has started to not eat. Like hardly at all. I offer him food and he FREAKS out. Even when given what he asked for, he will NOT eat it. Like today, my MIL said he only ate muffins for breakfast. Ate two fries for lunch and refused dinner. Is this common? I...

I know it’s normal for kids to get picky. I don’t want to feed into it though. I made my 2 year old Mac n cheese with broccoli. She refused to eat it completely. She was hungry- it was her time to eat and because she willingly sat down to eat, but cried when she saw what it was and got down. She said she wanted ch...

I haven’t been able to feed my baby dinner. He eats breakfast and lunch but throws a fit during dinner. I worry he goes to bed hungry. Anyone else?

Anyone else's little one just completely gone off food or stopped eating it? She was a really good eater, 3 meals a day plus snacks. She would eat whatever we ate but now she will eat breakfast and barely touch much else the rest of the day unless it's to throw it on the floor. I don't understand what's changed. It'...

Just starting weaning now that my LO is 6m. We started with broccoli yesterday and today I tried a pea puree. She absolutely hated both , was constantly gagging and when i managed to actually get some into her mouth she wouldnt swallow any of it. Yesterday after the broccoli she threw up all of her previous milk fee...

FTM no judgement please. I know it’s recommended to start solids at 6 months but my 5 month old is very fussy with milk and keep staring at food when we eat. Some older friends told us they started solids when their babies were 4 month old, that was a few years ago. Has anyone started solids before 6 months and was ...

Does anyone else's baby stare at your food while you're eating? My little one has recently gotten obsessed with watching me while I'm eating, he will be fast asleep but the second a plate or bowl is in my hands he wakes up and while I am now a pro at eating anything one handed it's very unnerving having him stare ...

Hey, my toddler is so fussy with food. Any ideas for on the go lunches as I feel embarrassed giving her pouches out now she’s 18 months old. Thanks x

Have any body gave salmon to your baby’s yet? I am a little scared because he is allergic to eggs 😦 but we all eat it so I want to give it a try

What is everyone giving their little ones for their first birthday tea? My daughter's birthday is on the 17th and I have no clue what to give her. She's not fussy with food at all and she will literally eat anything you put in front of her 😂

Is this too much food for an almost 2 year old? He is a good eater but he’s been sick after nursery twice now and he went to nursery yesterday and he’s cried none stop since waking up 7am this morning /:

I starred weaning 1 week ago and I've been making my own purees and spoon feeding as she wants to play with the food instead of trying to put it in her mouth. But I only manage like 5/6 spoons and then she's done and the spoon isn't really full either. Is that enough? I feel like she's not eating enough. When do the...

My baby is almost 9 months old and I started weaning her on vegetables before giving fruits but now she doesn’t like vegetables. I offer it and she’ll have a bite or two but that’s it. I end up giving in and giving a fruit pouch afterwards to make sure she eats something but I don’t know how to make her like it more...

Hey mamas! Just wondering if yall are treating your toddlers to some sweet treats? Or not yet? If so, how often do yall let them have a sweet treats? And what kind of treats are we having? I have so many questions. lol🫶🏻

Hello! I’ve been watching on social media every 6-8 month old babies eating by themselves with their little spoons. When I’m feeding my baby, he doesn’t let me feed him and takes the spoon from and starts biting the spoon handle. I tried teaching him how to pick the food with the spoon and put it in his mouth but he...

My little one is 7 months on Saturday and he is loving weaning. We are on two meals and I’ve just added a third as he loves his food! Is this too much? It’s only a tiny amount each time of course.

Can anyone recommend any nice dinner ideas for teething 17 month old. The past few days I’m finding it so difficult to get her to eat something due to such discomfort

My 2.5 year old girl eats food only while watching cocomelon on iPad . I need to engage her someway to feed her and TV Is when I am tired which is everyday . This is very stressful for me as she has developed it as a habit . And now she eats very slow as she is so much into watching that she stops chewing and that m...

My little guy is not into eating solids! We’ve tried purées, food he can hold in his hands… he doesn’t want to eat any of it! He won’t even bring a spoon to his mouth. Any suggestions? I know he’ll get there eventually, but daycare is making me feel like he’s behind!

My little one is going through a weird stage with food at the minute. She seems to be skipping her mid day bottle and only having 1 240ml in the morning and a 240ml before bed. She’ll only have 2 meals a day and completely refuses breakfast. The meals we do give her sometimes she’ll only eat a small amount and it’s ...
