Do you eat out with your toddler?

We have got to the stage where we have stopped doing this now. Its just not possible. My child will climb onto the table run around the restaurant and it's usually a big fat fail. Is everyone one else the same?

15 month old, how much does yours drink?

How much milk/water/juice does your LO drink in a day? He still has milk more than water and hasn’t had juice before. Wondering if I should be switching some of his milk for water/juice instead now as he’s still having a fair few bottles a day along with food Tia

We went out for brunch for Mother’s Day so he had a late breakfast but he definitely can’t skip lunch. I made a snack plate and popped it down in his playroom for him to run around and pick at. I’ll put him down for a nap and bring the snack plate out when he wakes up if he doesn’t finish it before. Watermelon, gr...

Help needed

I am encountering difficulties with my 20-month-old daughter, who insists on drinking only formula milk and refuses solid food, despite being introduced to solids at six months. Can fellow mothers offer advice? Have your children gone through a similar phase? What approaches worked best for you?

Fear of finger foods

Does anyone else really panic giving their baby finger foods? My baby is 7.5 months old and I’ve mostly given her purees so far and she’s worked up to lumpier textures.
