Heya! What's the first food you introduced to your little ones? We're just waiting til we reach 6 months. I am excited but at the same time sobbing to the fact that our babies are growing real fast. Can't believe it's been half a year already since we brought them into this world!

Hello, How long do you keep melty carrot puffs once opened? I usually let my 7 month old have the whole pack. She doesn’t eat more than a few and the rest end up on the floor but I noticed the pack says it has five portions. If I put them in a baggy or Tupperware how long do you reckon they’ll store. Also any advi...

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...

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
