So salt of course I’m not going to give my baby salt but salt is in everything so how can I avoid it? we have leftover stew for his lunch today and it has oxo cube which has salt in…..am I okay to give it to him?

My baby girl is the size of a Coconut 🥥🩷

I’ve been feeding baby purées and have worked up to small chunky textured food. He’s not a fan of big bits of food like scrambled eggs or big bits of pasta, he’ll just spit it out and will not try again, but I suppose that’ll come in time - but I’m keen on giving him finger foods. We have tried steamed broccoli and...

Anyone else’s little one suddenly really fussy with food? My 9month old will literally only eat bread in any form😂😭

Anyone else still struggling/their little one really slow to eating food? We've been trying for a few months now and she's just not taking much food at all...she will happily play with it, bring it to her mouth, have it all over her face etc but doesn't often get past the point of swallowing/gagging....feel like I'v...

Went out with baby today and we ended up getting home late so I didn't give him dinner - he's 10 months. Is it OK to give them food late in the evening like past 8.30? Or as a one-off it's Ok? But I did give him his milk tonight like normal but just more. He doesn't eat much anyway just kind of play with his food. W...

Have anyone gave eggs to your baby yet? My baby is going to be 9 months next week and I’ve been thinking about giving him some for the first time.

Well, if you're a single mom like me, then you know the power of making things happen for your kid. My son was supposed to be with his father for Thanksgiving break and he has not reached out yet to my son stating that he's coming to get him. I thought about even taking a mini mommy vacation but I'm glad I didn't ...

Guys my toddler LOVES these smoothie breaky bowls. Link for recipe in the comments x

Would you say your baby likes/dislikes foods you enjoyed or didn't have during pregnancy? Is it related?

Just found out I’m pregnant again. So need to save a bit more money to get some items for this new baby! what are some good budget friendly meals that a picky male (my partner) and a toddler will eat 🫠 Thanks in advance

I always see mums sharing what their babies are eating during the day. How much is actually being ingested? My son loves food, but let’s be honest..50% of the food ends up on the ground, smushed into the tray, or spat out

Anyone else’s LO gotten really fussy with their eating lately? He’s always been fussy with us but he’s started it at nursery now too 😩 We’ve literally had to revert back to pouches just so we know he’s getting something in him. Even then he won’t eat it 😩 just wants the sweet stuff which we are cutting out now…

Hi all; I attempted baby Led weaning and it’s not going well so it’s my 7 month old. He’s great with purées and really soft thing like mash or mushed rasberries.. however anything firmer and he bites off far to much and then chokes and vomits. It’s happened a good few times now and I am really anxious about trying f...

Has anyone else been weaning for nearly a month and not really had any progress? My little boy is 7 months on Tuesday and he loved sitting down and having food with us but he doesn't really actually eat anything! He hates purees, won't entertain them at all so we're baby led weaning and he's super interested and w...

Hi, my 17month old is getting his back teeth through and is struggling with normal meals, does anyone have any soft meal ideas? He doesn't like;- eggs, fish or pasta.

Trying spag bol, sausage and mash etc. but its so weird i spoon feed her she takes 3/4 spoonfuls then stops and refuses any more. But she isnt full because shes starving then and eating youghurt and puffs for me (i give these because i dont wa...

Hey girls, is anyone else’s 10 month old not eating anything at the moment? My little boy has had a love hate relationship with food ever since we started weaning, some days he will eat everything in sight and other days all he wants is his bottle. Today’s one of those days where he will not even look at his foo...

What are we doing with lo that used to eat anything put in front of them to now just looking at it and throwing it on the floor then screaming if you try and give it to them by hand 😭😤 I’ve just ended up boiling some pasta and giving it to her so she’s eaten something but she’s gone from eating all our home cooked…
