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!

What are you doing for snacks, lunch etc? My daughter tells me every second of every day that she’s hungry, even seconds after she’s just eaten 😳🫠 What kind of things are you making or buying? She can be a bit fussy but I’m trying to get her to try new foods and I need ideas, preferably something cheap, quick and…

My baby often rejects breakfast, then she might sleep through lunch, then she’ll have a few bites at dinner but there’s no way she’s getting three meals like I’m seeing all over Instagram. I offer her more food than this but she just plays with it. Am I doing something wrong?

My little girl has loved puréed foods, but since starting her on more textured foods suitable for her age (7months onwards) meal times have been awful! She refuses to have it. She has breakfast, and tea with a pudding at the minute, she doesn’t seem interested at lunch time (took a while for her to enjoy breakfast...

I don’t know what to do anymore my little girl hardly eats or drinks anything, I’m currently crying writing this. Today all she has eaten is half a weatabix a few crisps and half a cake. I try and try to get her to eat but she just won’t.

Anyone else little one not eating? My little boy is turning two on Friday and all of a sudden will not eat anything. Not even chips, nuggets or fish fingers. I’ve tried all the beige food just to get him to eat but he won’t touch it. Anyone else going through the same? If I let him he’d live off toast and yoghurts.

They're updating about breakfast, wet nappies, soiled nappies and naps but nothing about lunch and dinner. I know I can always ask when I get there but it just makes me worry that she isn't eating. Does anyone else get this? Surely if they have time for all the other updates during the day they can update if they a...

Hello, I have been scared to do some finger foods but willing to start now and want to start by giving my baby bread with something over it for lunch. which type of bread do you use? and how do you prepare it? and how did you start 🙈 a second question, I never used the ready pouches but have gotten a simply…

So we’re going to a family members dinner and they’ve decided to go to a Chinese place for dinner. Can my very nearly 15 month old eat this please? He doesn’t have an allergy to nuts or fish and won’t be eating shellfish obviously! I thought to just get him some rice with peas and some chicken satay as he loves our ...

Would you make your child luch box I.e. there sandwiches and cut up there fruit all of that the night before for a 12 lunch at nursery ? Would the fruit and sandwiches go horrible ?

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...

Hiya! I'm really struggling. My little girl is 8 months and really doesn't take to much food - I've tried more of a BLW set up recently but she just throws it on the floor and won't touch it and I don't understand why? She actually does really like food when she has it but it always ends in tears because she just ...

Wherever possible, baby has what we have at meal times but is mostly fed to him by me and he loves food and eats a decent amount. However, I am trying to encourage more BLW where he feeds himself. But he throws ALL of it on the floor one by one, almost every meal. He will eat it if I feed him so I know its not the f...

Hey guys, my little one’s gonna be 2 in Feb. I still feed her in the mornings when she’s having cereal/ porridge, etc. She can use them, but finds it hard to have cereal or anything runny with a spoon. When are they meant to be able to use them themselves? x

My little girl really doesn’t seem interested in eating purée food. She doesn’t open her mouth when I put the spoon near her mouth and when I do get some in her mouth she just spits it out

Just my baby who’s completely gone off puree and is adamant she wants proper food? Like she’s taken so well to solids, I just give her food how I would eat it and I’ve had no issues I feel so sad my baby isn’t tiny anymore 😂

Got a long haul flight and I see in the flights details, they dont provide food. ( guessing because LO doesnt get their own seat) what do you do for feeding them a proper meal on a long haul flight ? Are you allowed to take your own cooked food on for LO ?

My lo loves boiled eggs. He demands its daily for breakfast 🤣 but i dont think eating eggs every morning is good for him. Does anyone elses lo eat eggs everyday? Do u know if its bad for them?
