My 4 month old shows significant interest in food. Whenever I’m eating anything she will leap forward with her mouth open and try get a bite 🤣 it’s so cute and I feel so evil not offering her any. I know people used to start solids at 4 months but the recommendation is now 6 months. Can I offer her a taste of some…

What sort of meals do you give your babies for lunch/dinner? I’m running out of ideas 🤣

We're often out of the house for breakfast/lunch (my boy isn't really interested in eating breakfast until 10ish). I pack lots of snacks but I feel like they're just not that nutritional, especially as they are essentially his meals (baby crisps, snacks etc). I usually also pack fruit, but does anyone have any ide...

How are people eating dinner with their LO if they are going to bed at 7pm? My husband doesn't get home from work until 5.30 and I can't even start cooking dinner before that because my LG is so clingy she will just scream and moan, so by the time it's ready it's almost her bedtime. At nursery she eats her dinner at...

Has anyone got any breakfast ideas for a 7 month old? I’m running out of ideas and am still half asleep in the mornings 😂

I’m trying to look for new, healthy, filling snacks for my little one. He has such an appetite recently so I’m trying to discover more snacks that will fill him up between meals to keep it balanced and him not eating too much. Suggestions please and thank you :)))

The food pouches that are ready made in store? Also are you batch cookingand storing in the freezer? If you are what are you putting the food into? I would love to know and also gives me an idea of what to feed my little boy 😊 we have started with Bananas, avocado, strawberries etc

My son's pediatrician said I can give my son solids soon as he has great head control. Thinking of doing bone marrow as his first foods. Maybe followed by fruit eventually. She suggested grain like plain rice but I don't think that's as nutritional as a first food. What are y'all planning on feeding as a first food?

Anyones baby rejecting solids completely? She is just drinking milk Anyone gone thorough this phase? Im so damn stressed out

I did see a Mama post about it long ago and am curious myself. I haven't started either and had hoped not to till 2 but he sees our food and wants a 'taste' out of everything. I am just a bit paranoid to start. What are y'all doing Mamas? Do y'all let your littles eat anything and everything?

Recently I started trying to eat healthier, so I eat a little later than my partner and my son. Today was a little different. I made my meal a little earlier, but my son had already had a little something to eat, when I sat down to try and enjoy my meal, my son obviously came over and tried to ask for a bite (he's 2...

My baby has been eating baby food for a while now but we just started with the meat baby food. He’s only eating the broth and leaving the meat at his lips or stuffing his cheeks, is he not ready or is this normal?

Maybe this is a case of there's no answer but I'd love my child to eat more vegetables. We've followed all the common advice from recent child psychology, we never beg or force her to try, always have offered different things regularly, me and my partner eat and enjoy lots of vegetables and 'healthy food'. My toddl...

So our little one has just got over tonsillitis and his appetite still isn’t great. Recently when we have been having foods like spaghetti bolognaise and curry which he normally would eat no problem, he all of a sudden hates his hands getting messy and I really don’t know where it’s come from, we’ve had a smooth we...

My little boy has started kicking off every time it comes to sitting in his highchair and kicking off about food. He’s never been like this, he’s always loved food and now i dread every meal. Yet when we go out for food he’s no bother whatsoever. I did think it was down to teething but now im not so sure. Has anyone...

Anyone else’s baby seem so interested in food? My girl will literally act so mad when she sees us eating! She even ripped a cracker out of my hand lol (didn’t eat it). Like come on girlfriend you have to wait a little longer.

What's a good cheese alternative? Most of my easy meals include cheese for her and she's allergic.
