hey all, i’ve noticed my 10 week old for the past several days has been eating about an ounce less at every feed than she normally does and she’s been slightly fussy during feedings all of a sudden too. it’s worrying me slightly. does anyone have any idea why this could be?

When is the best time to start baby food? Doctor has already oked it, but i feel like 4 months is still too young.

Does anyone else have a snacking baby? My boy is 15 weeks and during the day he feeds every two hours, sometimes less. Night time he goes longer (4-5 hour stretches).

Can other moms with small babies chime in? My little guy is 3.5 months and 11.5 lbs, developing right on track but only in the 2nd percentile. He was born at 39.2 weighing 8 lbs but just seems to be a slow grower. I keep seeing other moms post their big chunky babies (which is great!!! nothing better than sweet baby...

I’m starting to wean my 7mo twins…some days they have porridge, some days fruit they mainly have 1 meal a day such as porridge , fruit puree and then I give them broccoli pieces or banana pieces that they hold theirselves. I was wondering how big portions should I be giving them? As I don’t want to feed them too lit...

Am I a bad mum if some days I don’t give my baby purées/solid food because I simply don’t have the time or energy to prepare, feed, tidy up, clean baby, clean mess…obviously as she gets older I will be feeding her everyday but she’s 6 months old now so I sometimes get lazy with solids EVERY single day as she’s still...

I’m looking to try my little one with fish soon, how did everyone give fish for the first time? 😊 I’ve been told to do fish fingers but wondering if there’s other ways, my little girl can’t have milk though!

Made these today, which my almost 9 month old loved so much she ate 2 🤣. They are tomato, courgette and cheese pinwheels (made with vegan cheese as baby is cmpa)

I will be taking my little one on holiday when he is 10 months. He is currently nearly 9 months and mostly eating puréed foods and I’m unsure what he will eat when we are away all inclusive , should I take packets of food? Does anyone have experience of this?

My baby is 17weeks and is super interested in food whenever I eat she’s watching me and she’s also trying to grab my food. Would love to hear other mum experiences

He was open to trying some stuff like sucking on fruits and chewing baby puffs when he was a baby but then one day just stoped. Now Seems like he prefers only smooth baby food with predictable sweet taste like anything with banana so he can just swallow it. He doesn’t have any issues because we got everything checke...

Anyone experiencing same 15 month not eating anything like just snacks 2 and that’s it tbh it’s sooo frustrating what u guys doing in this situation xx

what meals are you feeding your babies?! i feel stuck! she doesn’t like bread (no pb bread or jelly bread) trying to find things to make her but really struggling as she seems she’s regressing with solids.

Hi What’s a quick and easy baby dinner for when they’re not eating the same as you? Eg Omelette Thank you

My LG is 8mo this week. At the moment, she's still half and half purée and finger food. She doesn't seem to eat a lot of the finger food, but enjoys playing with it and trying it. Should she be moving onto just finger food from now on? What are you guys doing?

Hi my little one is 12 months and is a bad eater i feel like shes not getting enough calories its beginning to stress me out anyone elses little ones the same i feel like every baby is a good eater but mine and any suggestions ?

How much salt are we allowing in solids for our 8 month olds?? It’s pretty easy to stay away from sugar but it’s been so tricky to know how much salt is okay! I’ve been staying with low sodium/no salt options where I can but I’m curious what everyone is doing? My baby is a foodie so it’s getting tough haha

I have an 8 month old and still haven’t introduced egg. Mainly because he has bad excma at the moment. Can I give him boiled egg chopped up? How did people introduce? Any tips I’d appropriate thanks

Even saying no to yoghurt! Any tips?

My little girl is now 7 months! She will not hold any food at all! I will put it in her hand and she just drops it🤦🏽‍♀️ I keep trying and trying and having no luck at all! Even with melt sticks etc! She’s being a bit of a nightmare with it all🤦🏽‍♀️
