You guys my son is killing me. I have a baby who's starting to crawl and I keep having to pull food out of her mouth my son keeps throwing on the floor. He can't sit still, won't sit at a table to eat. Doesn't matter if I vacuum and clean up after him I can't seem to find all of it. My house isn't the cleanest but m...

My son will be 2 in the beginning of May and he just prefers eating everything with his hands... We’ve been working on using a spoon and fork and he uses it a little better now but only minimal improvement.. anyone else experiencing this?

Hiya all what healthy snacks do You give your little ones looking for ideas? I’m happy to make stuff from scratch too thank you ☺️

(He ate the cheese before I took the picture waiting for the rest to cool 😂) Cheesy beef ragu. We flatten his gnocchi with a fork and give it to him as finger food. We mix some in the ragu and have some plain.

Anyone else's toddler just purely surviving off of air and yogurt 🥲anything I give him he doesn't want he's super picky. Lately I been worried like how is he even functioning and running around without food. He's overweight a bit so he's gaining weight somehow.. what can I do?

I think my baby is sick. He’s very stuffy & congested. It’s hard to feed him as his nose is stuffy. What can I do to help him?

My 20 mo is such a picky eater and barely drinks regular milk. He lives off of snacks and fruit. It's gotten to the point where I've stopped trying to make things or only give him water because I've wasted so much food. I do my best all day with him and he's a happy, thriving boy.. but I feel so behind with food. Is...

Anyone else’s little one when first stating weaning was really wanting to feed themselves? Now at 10 months he’s got zero interest in wanting to feed himself 😩 iv offered all the food he likes and he’s just not wanting to feed himself, but will take it off a spoon from me. For context he doesn’t use a spoon…

Anybody's baby still not eating??? He seems interested when we eat but trying to get him to eat just ends in tears 😭😭 Tried BLW and purees

I’m here to just rant really. I have mixed emotions. My 2yr old just won’t eat anything regardless of making any time of meal or give him snacks. I just don’t know what to as it’s now stressing me out. I can actually hear his tummy rumbling but won’t touch or eat anything I just don’t know what to do. Now his gone t...

My girl is 4months and I’m unsure weather to start baby porridge or not however I can’t seem to find any dairy free ones for 4-6months all the dairy free organix ones seem to say 6 months which I know is the reccomended age for weaning but all others say 4 months. Just wondering if anyone has any recommendations or ...

We're okay with her afternoon meal, she just has what we're having. I really struggle to think of lunches for her though.

We haven't done regular messy play but he obviously does a little bit at nursery (with shaving foam etc). Occasionally when he gets fed up with his food, he'll start playing with it, smearing it across the high chair or scrunching it up in his hands before throwing on the floor. In my opinion this is regular toddler...

Just after some reassurance please! My little girl has not taken to solids at all, I have offered purées (either leaving her to grab the spoon or me trying to feed her) and finger foods and not a single crumb has passed her lips! She just clamps her mouth shut and/or won’t put any food in her mouth (puts anything...

I have realised I don't think I'm giving my daughter enough meat in meals (9months old) What meat meals do you give? I did blend up a stew the other day and she loved that and she has spaghetti bolognaise too however I need ideas for lunch times. We have made tuna and cheese patties but I'm struggling for cold lunc...

Is anyone else's 2 year old still putting everything in their mouth? He's coming up on 25 months and constantly putting things in his mouth I've contacted my health visitor but they never get back to me.

My almost 8 months old started to offer me spoon of his food. This is the cutest thing! Is this early sign of empathy? Anyone experienced that?

Just want some other mums experiences or opinions on going out for a meal with little ones, my husband wants to take me and our 8 month old out for Valentines day and obviously we will be eating dinner but I don't want my baby to be sat with no food, she eats solids (finger foods) in your opinion is it better to tak...

How can i get my 2 year old to eat more or eat in general. Everything we seem to make it never satisfies him.
