hi my baby is six months. she’s only drinking a couple oz of milk and throwing the bottle so I started giving her purées she really doesn’t seem to like those so I made her mashed potatoes last night she ate more of that. And she loves strawberries and Cheetos puffs but I don’t want to introduce the wrong foods (I f...

How many bananas do your toddlers eat a day?! And how many is too many?? My 14 month old will eat at least three bananas a day (amongst other food) and I’m just hoping some others are the same!

What snacks are we feeding little ones? Any snack ideas most welcome, for at home or for out and about, thank you!

We’ve battled with eating since day 1. Now we have a 2 year old that will not food such as pasta, slow cooked meals etc unless they are blended.

My little girl hasn’t gaining much weight. December she as 10kg January 10.1kg March 10.2kg She has been unwell a lot throughout winter but she’s just not gaining weight anymore. What do I do? She does eat a lot of food when she’s well!

LO is doing really well on step 1 of the milk ladder. Third time trying and we’re finally up to 3/4 malted milk with no symptoms. If he passes this step, what new foods can we introduce?

I’m so proud of my 9.5 month old, she will eat anything that I put in front of her and recently I gave her a bit of avocado on some bread for her first taste and she absolutely demolished it 😁🥰

What’s everyone’s routine in terms of milk and food. What’s classed as a proper solid meal? Does your LO drink less?

What are you all feeding baby for breakfast that is just starting to wean? I don’t want to do porridge every day as it’s boring but also he’s only just being introduced to flavours so don’t want to do anything too elaborate as I’m only doing taster foods throughout the day. So far he seems to be loving it! 🤞🏼 Any…

Anyone know why my baby is sucking on toys etc? Sorry if it's a daft question but he's only started doing it the past 2 days. Usually he will chomp down on toys but recently he's sucking on them. He's not hungry as he does it after eating too. He's also started sucking on clothes and his dummy lead etc.

Hiii please help! I started weaning my girl as soon as she turned 6 months. We have been weaning for 3 weeks. Sleep has never been great she’s always woken up to feed in the night. However since weaning she’s waking up crying, arching back, pulling legs up and lots of gas throughout the night! She’ll trump a few tim...

(Please be nice i am a first time mom) I am at a loss right now, my daughter refuses any vegetables and only wants fruit or junk food. If it has vegetables in it she will chuck it across the room. Austism runs heavily in my family, affecting myself, my little brother, and my mother, giving us texture sensitivity and...
