Snack ideas

Hello - other than baby packaged snacks what else do you give your baby for a snack? My little needs two snacks a day but has suddenly gone off the vast majority of his usual foods but is definitely still hungry. He hates egg and I’ve tried lots of different ways of serving it.

LO will only eat yogurt

My LO will now only eat plain yogurt 🤦‍♀️ refused to have his salmon & sweet potatoes puree this evening so thought let me try mix it with some yogurt 😆🤣 voila he had a few spoons.

Meal ideas.

He loves bean, Scrambled egg, toast, banana, raspberries, blackberries, pasta and wheatabix but that's about all he's tried so far. Long story short, his brother has loads of oral...

Food rules

Interested to hear any rules you have with your little ones around food? A rule for us is that our 2 year old only ever drinks water or milk, I don’t allow any juice or fizzy pop. I also don’t allow sauces like ketchup due to the sugar. I also wouldn’t offer our little one a pudding or desert of her own. If we we...
