My very good friend’s baby is 5 months and weighs 4.5kg. I have a 10month old so I understand the worry that comes with baby’s growth. She said her baby doesn’t eat long and eats in tiny bits and the doctor said the baby is underweight and she should focus more on her feeding. My friend doesn’t know what to do bec...

We live with my in laws. Last night I made tacos for everyone but my FIL eats later than us so we left the food for him to eat when he was done working out. I am vegetarian so I make a separate “meat” for myself. And the rice is a communal dish everyone can eat. My FIL packed the meat in the same box with the rice a...

I feel clueless Am also confused as I gave up soya and dairy at 2 weeks pp( I ebf) and confused if I can give them as totally unsure if she was allergic

My LO is almost a year old and has shown no interest in eating solids. He will eat puréed food but not actual solid food. I don’t know what to do. I feel like failure 😞 I feel like most 10 month old are eating solid food no problem.

What are you all feeding your 8 month olds out and about without a way to heat things up and who won’t eat unless spoon fed…

My girl loved weaning in the first week I did a mix of pouches and home made just puree cause we tried blw but she was just sick. I've tried making the purees more mashed than just like water and she's been sick just with mashed up cauliflower, but she's never ever sick and doesn't turn her nose up at the ellas kitc...

Currently my baby can tolerate textured puree. I want to try giving her a large melty puff stick crisp but wonder if it’s to soon as I’m worried she will choke on it. She’s 7 months but 6 months corrected

Still on a solids strike so we have kiwi pieces, apple and celery purée, and star pasta with bone broth and garlic. Trying to kick a cold that won’t quit!

We are really struggling with our little one and feeding - especially lunches and dinners, as he seems to have gone backwards on this. He will now only consistently eat yoghurt. Solids and purées are 99% of the time firmly rejected. He will occasionally eat some fruit, but most of it gets spat out. If we hand hi...

I am desperately trying to find recipes that are affordable that my kid will eat. What do you feed your toddlers?

Is anyone else struggling with mealtime? My daughter is 10 months old. She was doing great with mealtime until recently and she will shake her head,stick out her tongue or spit the food out when we feed her. Does anyone have any recommendations on how to get her to eat? Thanks!

My baby is on day 7 of weaning - she only has a few spoons of whatever I offer her and then turns her head away and doesn’t let me feed her and is disinterested in picking up and putting the finger food in her mouth (usually puts everything in her mouth) Is that normal? She’s just turned 6 months for reference. Ho...

Hey mommas, I want to start giving my 5 month old babygirl homemade purées. I’m aware that I’m only supposed to introduce single ingredient purees at a time within a 4 day period to watch for any allergic reactions. However, I’m unsure of how many times I’m supposed to feed her solids within a day while still also f...

Feel like I’m not doing my son justice with weaning. I’m always running between both kids and I just about manage to feed him meals. Still on pouches/ purees but here and there I will give him what we’re eating. He is also exclusively breastfed. And I’ve found that he stops eating after a few mouthfuls. I’ve tried f...

Does teething affect appetite my little girl is 7 months old almost 8 & doesn’t seem to be very interested in her food at moment :( bottles are still quite normal but actual food doesn’t really want :/ any help

Nikeya just had her first birthday on the 27th,yes,day before Thanksgiving this year. We have resisted giving her any kind of candy,cake or cookies. Dad decided last minute let’s give her cake.He just happened to pick a smooth carrot cake. We gave her a decent size.She gobbled it up but spit it up hours later.While ...

We started BLW when he was 6 months. He was brilliant. Always finished his food. He’s now 16 months and suddenly won’t eat any solid meals? He’ll happily munch on a biscuit, it’s just meals? He will only eat a pouch or those soft ready meals from Aldi for babies!! Anyone else going through the same? Can’t get him to...

When will this phase end? It’s so frustrating, he’s barely eating anything just like throws it on the floor and only really is eating yoghurt. Any tips?!

Hey ladies, I’ve been watching many videos on healthy eating and making homemade green juices, does anyone know weather they would be safe for my almost 15 month old, as he loves drinks and I feel it’s a good way for him to consume some more greens in his diet. Thank you 😊

What yoghurt does everyone buy fresh rather than pouches?
