Hi, I’m going on holiday to Egypt with my baby when he will be 8 months old. Please can you tell me what food and milk your 8 months old drinks? Will he be able to eat fruit etc from the all inclusive? Will he still be drinking a lot of milk?

Homemade Sushi Christmas tree, peach, olives and mini gingerbread men.

Has anyone managed to find vitamins that their children like the taste of? We've currently got the abidec ones (bright yellow liquid) but my little one just spits out as much as he can of it whenever he has it. Are there any that actually have a nice flavour to them?

Hello, does anyone have any recommendations for some meals with hidden veggies in? I could do with some ideas that aren't for pasta sauces 🤦‍♀️

Broccoli mac and cheese, sweet potato and carrot purée and natural yogurt with half an orange juiced into it. Not sure if it’s teething by my baby has completely gone off eating solids and wants to be spoon fed again? Hence a more spoonable meal. Has this happened to anyone else?

Anyone else noticed their baby eating loads more food since turning 1? I feel like I’m feeding my baby snacks every few hours in between meals and naps 🫠. He eats SO much. Do I have to be worried about over feeding at this age or just encourage it? Everything is home cooked and balanced so not worried about him…

What you do if a stranger offered food to your little one and you wanted to say no. P.s I am a people pleaser but I tried saying no but the man kept persisting. I’ll throw in the bin later.

I wondered if anyone is having the same situation, my little girl will no longer eat anything that I give her. She is just refusing anything that I make. She has always been a really good eater and never refused anything. I am at a loss as what to do.

(Just posting in two different groups so ignore if you responded already) Hey mamas When did you start giving your child juice, whether organic or those that says “for kids”. Or even squash ( the one mixed with water) I know they say it’s better not give them sugar until 3, or even 5yo. But I see some paren...

Hey mamas When did you start giving your child juice, whether organic or those that says “for kids”. Or even squash ( the one mixed with water) I know they say it’s better not give them sugar until 3, or even 5yo. But I see some parents giving their child who’s around 2.

If your child is a picky eater, decides they no longer eat what seems like everything, however there are very few things they will eat, what do you do for meals? My son has decided to go off his carbs, he will eat pasta though, his getting a bit funny with his meat and fish also.. no issues with veggies. So when I...

Hey, after some advice please l, my LO is 17 months, and he won’t drink anything other than milk, I’ve tried him with water, but he doesn’t seem interested at tall. I always fill his water bottle up and leave it so he can have it whenever he wants. I have even tried adding a tiny bit of squash so it’s a little bit f...

Thinking of weaning soon and brought this.. any use it?

I’m curious how do you feel about letting your 3 year old have a tablet? My partner is super against them, but I feel like it’s hell sometimes going out for a meal or an appointment that overruns and I feel they would be ideal to use them at those times.. do you think it’s a bad idea!

For my 6.5 month old: 8am: milk 10am: half a weetabix 11.30am: milk 2.30pm: milk 5.30pm: solids 7.30pm: milk

What are your toddlers having for meals? Lots of parents on Tik Tok seem to be able to cook their toddlers fun and interesting meals and of a large portion size aswell. Honestly I don’t know where they get the time to do it. My toddler will cling to me aswell so I can’t cook meals for long periods of time it’s phy...

Now that baby is 1. She is no longer eating or sleeping.she used to sleep throughout the night. Now maybe 5hr and she doesn't like anything so I end up giving her goat milk 12-24mo and she will drink that. However, she was eating solids strong. Idk what this means and why everything changed all over again. Any sugge...

Hiya, struggling to get my girl to eat anything after nursery. She says no to anything and everything even her favs. I have put it down to her being full from nursery past couple of days but can’t help but worry she isn’t eating enough and I might be missing a trick somewhere. Anyone in the same boat ? Xx

I need advice. I’m sure I won’t be the only one in this position. My LO only likes to walk not but sometimes he’s too slow, refuses to go in the right direction, or it’s simply not safe. However when I have to get him in the pram he kicks off. So I’m down to bribery…. (no judging if you’re not in this position pl...

So far, she has reacted to pears, apples, and prunes, and upon further research, those are all fruits in the rosaceae family. We've been avoiding other fruits in that family, but unfortunately, that includes cherries, peaches, strawberries, raspberries, apricots, olives, and blackberries. It also includes almonds, w...
