So was doing an emergency weekly shop didn't realise no snacks for the youngest 🤔. So get to the checkout and the lady at the till was so happy to see another mum bulk buy fruit shoots 😀 she said its the only thing her lad drinks. It's the smallest of things.

Have you taken baby to restaurants yet? We went out to eat in Nando’s and it was pretty loud and stimulating but he seemed okay. He didn’t act any differently than usual but obviously had more to look at . Just wondering if I’m doing too much too soon. He’s nearly 3 months .

I use honey as an ingredient in lots of bakes (in thing like oat bars and some cakes and cookies) instead of things like maple syrup. I also think honey tastes better. Would it be ok to continue using honey like this for my 9 month old? I know the recommendation is no honey before 1 year but wondering if its OK if c...

Baby has been on Hipp creamy porridge for about 5 months. I want her to eat normal porridge oats however she refuses to eat them completely. I’ve tried mixing some of the Hipp porridge with the oats so I can then try and wean her off the Hipp porridge using less each time and she still won’t eat them. Also blended t...

Just out of curiosity how many meals are your bubbas on now? Little one is 7 months and having 2 meals a day. What time do you do dinners? Me and my husband eat at 7:30 atm so way too late for little one to eat but that’s the best time that suits us due to coming home from work 🤔 would love to know how other people…

Hi all, I am going to start weaning my baby this week and I'm so nervous. Any tips and suggestions? I am going to start with veg first then fruit. What's your idea on baby porridge or is it best to make it myself using oats blended up? Baby rice? I'm so overwhelmed with all the advice online. Thank you

How old was your toddler when you introduced grapes to them? And how?

My LB is nearly 3 and we struggle to get him to eat certain things! He loves spag bol, sausages, gammon- any meats really HOWEVER he will not eat any for potato’s, veg if I don’t hide it to within an inch of its life (sometimes he still finds it 🤦🏼‍♀️) he also will not eat anything like sausage/chicken…

I’m 19 and a mum to a 6 month old baby girl. She’s my pride and joy but she’s always been a hungry baby, she got switched to hungrier baby milk at 2 months as she was already on 7oz of regular formula. I’m curious what the difference between baby led weening and using pouches/baby food and how much food she should b...

Have any of you ladies started your baby with baby food at 3 months ?

Anyone got any good recipes using puff pastry for an 8 month old? Thank you

Are any of you starting purées or solids with their little one? And if so, what have you already started with?

Is anyone elses former foodie become really fussy and only eating at a push?

Is this a reasonable portion size ? My daughter will be 9 months tomorrow. Or should I just go based off of if she wants more or not . This is banana and eggs btw I seen a video saying 9 month olds should have two tbsps of two different options.

My little girl will be 9 months next week and I’m lost for ideas for foods… please can I have dinner time food ideas that I can batch cook and defrost x

And dinner suggestions for the tough times on a budget really and need something that my toddler will enjoy too.

I'm desperate. I honestly don't know what to do or what I'm doing wrong. My 8 month old won't drink his milk and has no interest in solids and it has me so stressed. Is this normal?

It's so stressful. Anyone else? Also I have so much anxiety around choking. How do u overcome this?

My baby is 8 months old and will eat every single thing I feed her but she will not feed herself. She will feed herself wafers and melty puffs. I’ve tried cucumber, broccoli and banana as finger foods so far. She eats them if they’re mashed up but won’t feed herself them. What am I doing wrong? Does it take time or ...
