My little girl will be 6 months in 3 weeks and I’m a bit stressed about starting weaning! I’ve purchased the ikea high chair etc as everyone seems to recommend that but am not really sure what bowls/plates/cups to get! Could anyone link any recommendations please 🫶🏼

Thinking of starting solids soon with my baby of 5 months. Did you start yet? If so, how did it go, what solid you start with and what your process been like so far?

Anyone else’s baby going through hunger strike after hunger strike? I feel like I have a few good days of my baby eating well and then all of a sudden - BAM 💥 hunger strike. Refusing food, throwing/dropping food, tantrums in the high chair. It’s awful!

The only healthy item he has is the liquid before and during his sleep.. i usually give him ragimalt at that time .. Is any of your kids same? How are y...

My baby is 10m and I’ve mostly been doing purées until recently I’m trying to introduce him more to table food. He’s been picky about what I give him and so far the only thing he likes is avocados shredded cheese and eggs. Sweet potato he doesn’t seem to like. I want to try other things I have the solid start ap...

Is anyone else struggling with scared of not being needed once weaned? My son is EBF and I’m really struggling with the emotions that he will want to be fed less once he is on solids. We are BLW so slowly just introducing foods to him but I am finding it so raw and full of emotion…is it just me?!

This is a weird one. My son has always been an ok eater. Not terrible, not amazing. Just ok. He eats pretty healthy, he likes almost all fruit, and there are a few veg like broccoli, peas and sweet potato that he'll eat happily on their own if he has a bit of ketchup or butter with it. Other vegetables do have to be...

Is anyone else going through this stage? My almost 2 year old is being so fussy with food and I am really struggling to get her to eat anything substantial. She will eat some foods one day then not the next. I already struggle to get fruit and veg in unless it’s puréed or cut up really small and in a sauce. The only...

Anyone else almost perfect pancakes because that's all your toddler wants to eat in the morning

My baby will be 5 months and 4 weeks this week. We are going to a family members house for Thanksgiving. I want him to be able to try some of the foods. Such as sweet potatoes, and vegetables mashed into a puree. But he’s not 6 months yet. Has anyone started purées with their baby before 6 months?

My ss is 10 and is fussy with food, ie if it's not rubbish, take away and processed he doesn't want it (normal for some kids, okay...) he always used to like pasta and he would eat it just fine but for the past 12 maybe less months he is kicking right off whenever we have pasta! And that's the mood ruined, he will p...

Hello! I want to start adding in a dessert after dinner, not something that’s unhealthy but just something extra! What sort of things do you offer for your little ones?

Has anyone got any advice for fussy eating at all? It’s gotten to the stage where my little girl only eats processed fish for dinner…..won’t even try standard toddler food. I always offer her different foods but she refuses to try. It’s getting h exhausting and I don’t know what to do when/if she refuses the fish!

I’m worried about giving my baby any foods due to a lot especially in my area being recalled. 8 month olds and has tried foods and loves them. I don’t want to deprive my baby from getting the nutrients he needs but I recently stopped because I’m so anxious about it. I need someone to help me ease my mind and tell me...

Feel really silly asking this but what do you all do with your babies when trying to make meals? Finding it so hard as baby is very active and mobile so isn’t content being in a play pen or in a swing chair.

Seeking advice - my LO use to be such an amazing eater before he turned 18 months - but since then he refuses practically everything and will only eat chips, bread (toast), organix oat bars, yogurt suckies and the odd nuggets here and there. should I be concerned ? He’s now 2 years 1 month

Is it definitely okay to let our little ones now that they're 1 have honey? I know it says you can on the NHS but I'm still worried. Am I worrying about nothing? Only reason I ask is because we have meatballs for dinner and they have honey in. I was going to cook her the same as us but debating whether to cook her s...

Is equal to a double espresso

Anyone else experiencing this? He will literally only have a few bites of his meals and not bothered about snacks. He also refuses to pick up fruit no matter what I try. He will eat it when it’s mixed into his breakfast or yoghurt. I thought toddlers were meant to love fruit!

My LB is like my fork now rather than his spoon. What type of cutlery shall I get him metal or plastic? He has a silicone fork but it’s useless and picks nothing up
