So I bought those microwave Mac n cheese bowls for my daughter because she absolutely loves Mac n cheese. Can I do that with a side of like veggie puree?

We're encouraging our LB to use spoons as well as his hands, but a think three is a little excessive 🤷🏼‍♀️🤣

We’ve just been told by our dietician that our little girl should’ve been swapped from Nutramigen LGG 1 to Nutramigen LGG 2 when she turned 6 months (she’s just over 7 months now), as we had a lot of other things going on in the appointment I completely forgot to go back to this point and ask what the actual differe...

I have a teething toddler who went from eating all foods - pasta, chicken, steak, all veggies mostly to for the last 5 days refusing all food (except for custard, strawberries etc). And having complete total meltdown every mealtime. Except breakfast - porridge is acceptable?? And half the time won’t finish a normal ...

I need a little help with breakfast ideas for 7 month old. He refuses anything milky like weetabix/porridge think it’s the stodgy texture as he doesn’t like lumpy purées either. He’ll happily have toast but I’d rather him have that with his lunch and it gets a little boring having that everyday. He likes yogurt bu...

Who has started foods yet, and when did your baby like them? We have offered baby food 5 times and he HATES it! He will gag, cry, and lock his lips shut. Won't even want to chew on the spoon himself and he chews on EVERYTHING. I want to give him time so he doesn't have a bad association with it but do I keep trying ...

My son had a piece of plain bread, some blue berries and a few strawberries for dinner 🥴

My toddler has absolutely no fear of heights. I can never remove eyes of him because he climbs a bed/sofa/chair all the time and if I don't catch him, he just jumps. I noticed that other toddlers that we know are more careful. But they are 3-4 months older. So I am not sure if this is a temporary thing or just the w...

Hey mamas, I started solids with my little one a few weeks ago but she still doesn’t seem interested in the slightest… any suggestion’s?

I see this often and I really am trying, but it’s been so unsuccessful. What percentage of what you eat for meals does your kid eat as a sustainable meal? Like, can you just plate what you eat for your kid?

When did everyone start giving their baby rice and Ella kitchen pouches my baby just turned 16 weeks old. The packaging recommends from 4 months old what’s everyone views and what would you advise ?

I am thinking about doing a photo shoot for my 6 month old and giving him half a cake or cupcakes, but I have been reading they shouldn’t have sugar….? Has anyone still given them some. I know they won’t be eating the whole thing and won’t get that much sugar

What cups are we giving our nearly 20 month olds?

Since my LO has been ill she’s been really fussy with food and has poor appetite so I’m stuck wondering what to feed her. She likes her snacks/finger food and sometimes eats what we eat but it doesn’t fill her up.

My lo is 5 months and won’t take any bottles won’t have any puree or porridge/ rice please help

So I want to try BLW (we are just on puree and I’m feeding him) but I’m terrified something is going to happen like him chocked etc I can’t figure out or understand how he can have toast/finger food at 6 months without any teeth to break down anything Meals - I am giving him his milk with meals because I don’t wan...

How to know when my 4m old is hungry? I promise I stopped knowing a while ago now to the point I sometimes starve him or over feed him 😭😭😭

My little one still has such a rubbish appetite. I keep offering food and eating alongside him but it’s so unenjoyable. He just moans and refuses to eat 99% of the time and I have to rush my food. I’m at a loss what to do because surely he need to eat!?

How are others coping with extreme food refusal? I don’t know if standing my ground is really working and probably making things more stressful. Most nights we have screaming matches every mealtime because I won’t give in to his fifteenth request for bread that day 🫠

I know this may seem so silly (first time anxious mum) lol. Me and my partner have had jarred hotdogs for tea with some cheese jalapeños poppers which I didn’t realise had soft cheese in and now I’m freaking out as I’ve googled it and it says you shouldn’t eat either😞help!
