I'm going to try and cut out dairy from my daughter's diet to check if it is the cause of her skin issues. For those dairy free, how do you ensure your child is getting enough calcium (and other useful things I guess, that are in dairy)? She's 14 months old.

So my youngest (7 months today) has been completely uninterested in food. Doesn’t even really want to play with it either. Won’t do purées or finger foods. Would rather chew the spoon but the second food gets on it, it’s launched away. And the gagging! It’s constant and to everything. I did ask for advice before and...

I swear my girl has always been a bird, she’ll just lightly pick at it for 30-40 minutes. Is that normal??

I've been introducing purees and solids to my baby since about 4.5 months old. He is not 5.5 months old and seems to be way less interested in breast feeding and all he wants is solids. I let him try the squeeze pouches that I make at home and now he just wants to be independent and feed himself the pouches. I'm wor...

Hi mums I really need some advice or just anyone to tell me if this is normal My almost 2 year old lately hasn’t been eating properly if not nothing (main meals). Will only have breakfast smoothies (I try to put as much in there such as avocado, spinach, banana etc / water / usual milk for bed / snacks such as cr...

please tell me how i’m supposed to just “know” my baby is ready for food or what im doing wrong😂 so im planning on doing blw and only using homemade purées when we’re out or at her dads house (me and my partner don’t yet have our own house and it would just be a lot easier to have purées when we go to his) so my…

Baby has been having purees since we started weaning, currently using thicker/lumpier purees and also has the occasional melty stick. Any tips for introducing more solid finger foods?

Our son has lost weight recently, which is stressing us out so much but we aren't massively surprised because he barely eats! Can you all give me an example of what food you make your LO's and how much they actually eat of it? Feeling like a terrible mother right now 😞

I've been weaning our LO for about a month now. I'm struggling with the amount to give her though. What is everyone else doing?. I've been pureeing veg for her. I started with just an ice cube size to give her a taste of them. Now she absolutely adores eating. I've never actually had her indicate that she's ful...

Looking for some ideas please? I used to give mainly purees to my son because he preferred them but my daughter doesn't like being spoon fed or purees and prefers finger food.. tried her with a few different vegetables, toast, omelette and pancakes so far, after some more easy and simple ideas please? Just to add I...

Little one going through a phase where everything is being spat out, barely eating. Living off of fruit pouches and prayers 🥲🥲

Anyone else’s little one come home from nursery and eat LOADS? He has 4 meals while he’s there and they say he eats it all but he’s come home and had a bag of crisps, raspberries, crackers and some banana within an hour of being home😵‍💫 I don’t mind feeding him obviously but I don’t know if they’re giving him tiny…

Anyone struggling with dry solids? Still on purees or super soft foods that are quite saucy.

My 16 month old is throwing all food on the floor, splitting everything out and constantly screaming at meal times! She has eaten breakfast and half a bag of wotsits today because that’s all I could get her to eat! Is this a phase? If so how long does it last as it’s driving me insane!!!

My husband was eating a burger and said that’s some good cow. Which started a chat with my 4 year old about eating animals. He’s horrified and refuses to eat them now. Now idk what to do. But want him to have a balanced diet

Just curious... Are more people cooking and blending/pureeing fresh foods for your little ones or using jar foods?

Has anyone come across any good visual recipe books to help toddlers get involved with cooking? I looked on Pinterest & Etsy but couldn’t find anything easy & good.

My baby is not to keen on solid foods she just turned 8 months yesterday she has 2 bottom teeth and the 2 front are starting to come in.. she tries to put things she finds on the floor in her mouth but when i try to feed her any type of baby food shes just spitting it out should i be concerned?

Need to start solids with my little one. I tried some boiled rice with milk & he did NOT like it. So need some suggestions on which baby cereal is considered a good start 😰
