So my little boy started nursery last week. This week has been his first full day week. I’ve been called in today to pick him up because he just wouldn’t eat or drink anything offered to him. When I got there I gave him his water bottle and he drank it straight away.. I’m so torn I go back to work next week. Has any...

hello I'm just wondering what do people make for their babies for meals around 6 months mark

Sorry I know this gets asked often but currently on 2 meals a day and really wanting to help my 9 month old go to 3 and start dropping milk (lead by her of course) She suffers with constipation so I always try to make sure she’s getting a load of veggies too (Tried feeding her what we have but her constipation gets ...

So, my partner and I have had a lot of stress the last few months regarding our sons eating. He won’t eat anything besides toast and yogurts. We’ve had an extremely bad day with him today, he wouldn’t eat breakfast, no lunch, no dinner and no supper. No snacks either. All he’s had today is 4x yogurts…. We were tryi...

Hi Is anyone else’s baby just not interested in food? I’ve tried eating infront of him, giving him the spoon and food to play with. Minute it goes near his mouth he shakes his head, then eventually crying his eyes out. ( he’s exclusively breastfeed )

i started my son on solids at 7 months he loved everything we gave him and would eat it all now he’s 9 months and completely doesn’t want anything anymore… no eggs no fruit no veggies literally nothing he spits it out or refuses to eat (and i don’t force him to eat it) anyone else go through this too…?

Hi ladies, Just wondering how many people still spoon feed ‘proper meals’ like curry, chilli etc? My 16 month old can use a spoon and will spoon himself yoghurt and eat finger foods but the only way we can get a substantial meal is by spoon feeding him. I panic about him not eating much if we just leave him to it.

my baby turned six months old on Sunday.. I wanted to give her some couscous.. recipes??TIA

Please help me. My boy has been sick and is not able to take anything. I’ve fed him lemon and ginger tea with a syringe and he takes his warm milk with some chocolate mixed in. He woke up today very weak and barely able to walk. What food/feeding alternatives can I try to help him gain strength and boost his appetite?

My toddler has always been happy with fruit pouches, yogurts, smoothie melts, but is suddenly refusing them and I’ve realised I need to step away from the baby snacks! What do you all offer as snacks? My LG is very fussy with fruit and veg, crisps, sandwiches. She’s having fruit smoothies instead but I’m stumped abo...

What is everyone feeling their toddlers? She’s allergic to eggs and does not like pancakes so I’m always at a loss!

Some days my little girl eats really well and we can be finished a meal in 15 mins or so but other times she seems completely disinterested in eating and just wants to play with her food and make a mess. I feel like my partner gets very impatient/frustrated and wants to end her meal time within a few minutes of her ...

I can’t get my baby to eat any fruit or veggies. He will be one. He will stare at it not touch it. If he touches it it’s to fling it on the floor. He won’t even attempt to try it. He will pick up any protein or carb but not touch a fruit or veggies to even kno if they are gross. I started giving him those fruit an...

What do I do ? I didn’t have this ...

I’m weaning my baby boy at the moment. He’s seven months old. I’m doing pure raises because I’m basically too scared for baby lead weaning 🤣 any ideas for meals? I literally feel like I’m doing potato carrots sweet potato all blended at the moment and we just done a strawberry. I really need some ideas

I apologise if my questions are stupid but I haven’t done much research as I’m sleep deprived and have a very high needs baby so any help is very appreciated. Water: do you give baby boiled tap water or can they have water from a filter? Food: it would be helpful if you share what was your baby’s first food Juice:...

my 7 month old is barely interested in eating but she loves wafers, melty sticks etc. so i’m wondering if it’s the “meals” i’m offering she’s not interested in however i feel like it’s so hard to think of ideas to make her as she’s allergic to milk the dietician has sent us some info and recipe ideas but haven’t ye...

I don’t know at what point I should start panicking (to be honest I already am) My LO barely eats. Breakfast is our most successful meal by far and I’m probably getting half of one Weetabix and half a mashed banana into her there. She picks at her lunch and picks at her dinner so it’s MINIMAL intake. She will eat ...
