What are some basic groceries you would get with having a two year old ! Lmk :)

My little boy is 6-month today and his paediatrician said he could start solids when he's 5 months due to eczema. He takes puree/ mash on a spoon with no issue. However I tried offering his sweet potato strips today and he just kept hitting the plate and unable to how it at all. Has this happened with anyone's baby?...

I am really struggling with weening, my son chokes on everything it seems, if it's really soft it might be the texture, I have to give him the tiniest pieces, and then after a while I think he's ok to have bigger bits, he then chokes and sicks up everythnig he has had then won't have anymore. I get really frustrate...

He’s 6 months old on Sunday but doesn’t have teeth yet. Have tried some baby rice, purées, broccoli so far, is it ok to give him some of this or wait until he can chew? I made some homemade chicken stock cubes so thought I could cook it in that until really soft but not sure if it’ll be ok for his tummy if he swallo...

I have worked hard to help my 3 yo know his body and appetite and also i do restrict sugary foods But yesterday i wanted to see how he does by himself when i gave him lunch, then chocolate nuts then a whole easter egg… he threw up and i feel so guilty. I saw him trying to regulate his intake of the last big choc eg...

Has anyone's 18 month old started refusing food or not eating as much? It's becoming such a challenge, she will suddenly happily snack or have bits of my food even if it's the same as hers but not eat her own

I’m a FTM and my baby girl is 5 months old and ready for solids as recommend by my GP.I was wondering if there is guidelines or feeding schedule(amount of food) I should follow as I’m completely clueless where to even begin, any helpful advice will be much appreciated. TIA

My LO is 3 and is allergic to fish, nuts and eggs. I’m worried that she’s not having the vitamins or nutrients that she needs and would get from these 3 vital food😭😭 what can I use to substitute? Supplements? Tried vegetables but it’s not anything close to the actual thing? Please she refuses to eat them 90% of the…

I just find it crazy that our 7 month old has been given 4 Easter eggs by our family! We’ve only been weaning him for 1 month and is no way ready or are we wanting to feed him chocolate!

My 11mo still doesn’t eat anything! I’ve been tried since he turned 6mo and we went through a phase where he’d open his mouth but that was short lived. I honestly don’t know what to do - he doesn’t even open his mouth to try the food, let alone get the food in his body. I’ve been to the peads dieting team at hospi...

Just preparing for weaning and I’m thinking of starting with lunch however, I’m out a lot at lunchtime and I’m wondering what people do when they’re out and about when weaning and baby needs feeding? I may be overthinking this as a FTM but I was thinking of mixing BLW and puree so I don’t think I could store and car...

I'm finding this part of the journey so hard. I offer breakfast, lunch, dinner at all different times of the day and make different things for him to try and he just doesn't try anything. I have tried pouches, purees and BLW and nothing my HV is a waste of space and offered no advice expect she would put my name dow...

Can anyone let me know some snack ideas for little ones? My LB is 15 months old and eats anything. I’m really not a cook or baker and making anything more than a sandwich stresses me out (I blame my mother and also lack of creativity. I have to use a recipe EXACTLY otherwise I panic). I give fruit and buy like the o...

My mom took 4 gummies thinking it was candy. Now shes high as shit. What do yal recommend

My baby is 17 months old. She is a happy and adorable baby, but she is very small. She is 19 pounds. She is developing normally, but her relationship with food has always been bad, starting with milk. Now, she is a picky eater, but not only with the food, but with everything. For example, we are traveling now. She d...

My girl will take a fully loaded spoon and feed herself, but we haven't really worked on her having a bowl of something and practice using the spoon. Is anyone else's baby using a spoon independently?

Is anyone else’s 10 month not eating anything? It’s been a couple of days and she hardly eats anything. As soon as I put her in her high chair for food, she kicks and screams. At first, I thought it would be the high chair, but it’s been perfectly adjusted for her. I’ve tried all sorts of food, even my food, whic...

My LO is 14 months and started to walk, teething. Earlier she use to have fruits(puree) and some solids too but now just don’t want to eat fruits and refuses anything i offer to her. Help Mummaz💕

Baby barely opens mouth and sticks his tongue out for food. So I can barely get a spoon in. My first bub wasn’t like this. Not sure how to encourage?

Hello ladies - I’m just wondering whether any of you guys have gone through this and if it’s normal? But my little one is 11 months old and the last week randomly had started throwing his food on the floor! Had absolutely no interest in the food at all and it’s driving me mental. Everyone’s telling me I need to star...
