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...

So we started combi BLW and purees last month. This might be a stupid question, but I am a first time mom. At the beginning baby was sold on purees she was eating with spoon.

Hey ladies, I have a 7 month old who just hates weaning. I’m not really sure what to do or what I’m doing wrong. I’m struggling with what to give her and to get her to actually eat.

How do you eat with your two year old? We have ours currently eating in the living room at his little kid table while he watches a movie. But it seems lately he's getting distracted. Before we used to have him Sit at the table but he would get done before I and my husband would eat. I just want to see what option...

My 3 year old eats so slowly! And I know that's how toddlers go.. they take a bite and run around the table and then take another bite, but this is different.. my son will just go about his business with a bite of food in his cheek like a chipmunk for 15 minutes! I literally ate my entire meal and he had the same pi...

How the hell do you do baby lead weaning with twins? How do you start? I’m here spoon feeding them and love that they are enjoying it but feel that they’re only interested if I show them the food. They do eat their fingers but they won’t touch the food and eat it, so see no point in it. Any tips are welcome ☺️

The past few weeks we’ve delt with: utine infection, viral infection, ear infection, rashes, teething, constipation you name it she’s basically had it the last week. Over the past few days she’s been refusing all foo...
