My son is 18 months and won’t stop sticking his fingers down his throat to make himself gag. I don’t know where this new obsession has come from but I’m seriously worried. What should I do?

What’s everyone’s opinion on starting your baby on puree? I’m not a fan of the baby led weaning as I’m not about to clean up all that mess🤣 but I’m wondering when’s a good time to start my baby on puree she’s sitting up nearly all alone but can sit up by her self leaning on something behind her back

This is night 2 basically, Not eating dinner. She ignores me and would rather pay attention to the tv. What do I do, not feed her for the night? She woke up looking for food in the night I’m so drained for meal times

My baby is 11 months and knows how to drink from straw. Is it okay to give her smoothies like just fruit and veggies ?

hi ladies, so my daughter is about to be 9 months and she’s on formula and baby purée food but i want her to expand a little more. what are you guys giving your babies? she’s not a fan of rice, blueberries, or eggs 😩

Baby will be 11 months on Saturday, he has been a great eater no problems at all. And now he is refusing to eat or barely eats anything. Is this a thing at this age? He is about to start walking though…could be he is more interested and focused on that? First time mum, no clue.

Can i give medium rare ?

Comment how much you’d be willing to spend including sizes so I can get an idea. ❤️

My girl was poorly a few weeks ago with hand foot and mouth, she had it so so bad! During that time she was off her food so I would feed her fruit and biscuits just to get something in her. I still offered usual main meals but she wouldn’t touch them. Fast forward to now and she’s back to her usual healthy self but ...

Are silicone plates and bowls really that bad? I’m not sure what to get my baby to start solids. (Plastic is bad. Bamboo are way too expensive. Ceramic can break easily.) 😣

Do you spoon feed your babies or do they pick up food and eat it themselves? My baby will hold things like muffins and pancakes, but won’t pickup eggs, rice, pasta, etc. He doesn’t eat any of it - just throws it in the floor. I’ve resorted to spoon feeding him to avoid the mess and waste and make sure he’s getti...

Is it ok to play dancing vegetables to 2 months old?🫣

My daughter turns 7 in April and last weekend she asked to make herself toast whilst I was in bed. I said no and got up to make it for her. She's now in a mood with me because she claims 'everyone' her age can use the toaster and that lots of her friends are allowed to use the air fryer unsupervised. We do a lot...

We waited a bit longer than most to start weaning our baby because baby wasn't ready yet. We were now told by a GP that we have to start due to potential allergies. We've been trying for about a week but baby just isn't into it. They will push the food away from them, maybe put their hand in for one second, then s...

Heyy so my 7 month old LOVES fruit and yogurt he can’t get enough, but the only savoury he will eat is puréed broccoli and cauliflower which he loves, hates everything else. He’s such a sweet tooth, I keep trying different types of savoury and he just spits it out. Any tips?

Does your baby flip their plate when eating ? I don’t have the suction plates just regular kiddie plates and she flips it every time and would rather eat from her chair tray 😭

I feel like I eat the same thing most nights as we usually meal prep for baby. I'm wanting to start cooking more but no more than 30 mins cooking. Food ideas please

Is it okay to reheat food like broccoli in the microwave for the baby? I know you're not supposed to heat milk in the microwave because it could cause hot pockets that can burn their little tongue. Is this the same for food? How do you guys meal prep for baby? I won't have time to make up food every day so want to m...

This is my first time travelling abroad and on a plane with children (9 month and 2 year old) I know I can bring food and snacks for them but according to an easyjet customer advisor, food for infant counts as one of their free item? If this is the case, is that each item or the bag with their food and drinks? Wha...
