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

My baby is 5.5 months old and we tried him on baby porridge for the first time this morning. Would it be possible for us to puree some sweet potato for him tonight for dinner followed by a bottle, or is it too soon?

Hi Mamas, please can you share your go to meals/recipes for your 1 year olds?? My boy was such a good eater, took to weaning so well and had a great appetite.. he recently had a sick bug & a cold where he didn't eat properly for almost a week and only had milk. We're slowly building back up but he still refuses mo...

Anyone’s little one decided to become really fussy. We’ve always been lucky that he always had what we’ve had and always loved it. Now he has decided to go off all that. Veggies… what are they. Unless I hide them really well, he refuses them. Used to love things like curries but now doesn’t want them

I’ve tried so many different ways to get him to eat solids & proper meals. There’s a few things he will eat but even those things he’s starting to throw on the floor. I’ve tried serving him lots of different foods & I always keep a safe food on his plate too. Lately it feels he’s having more snacks than proper m...

My little girl been great weaning she nine months the end of this week. The last week she has started to just throw all her food on the floor. Can I stop this or is it just a faze? Tried stopping her but it’s a loosing battle.

I always do around lunch time but sometimes it's like 11:30 am the next it's 3pm because of her naps or other things... Feel like I'm all over the place!

11 months, so been at it for 5.5 months. Not much further on. Baby feeds self pieces of fruit or things like toast or crumpet, and is usually happily spoon fed (wont feed self with spoon) porridge or yoghurt and fruit or smooth pouch, but other than that, really not eating much ‘better’. Now refuses all veg, anythin...

My little boy is a terrible sleeper and a terrible eater. Honestly, I know I’m a great mum and I have done so much research into sleep and spent SO much time and energy making healthy nutritious meals (and still do continue to do so in case one day something clicks and he eats healthy stuff!) But I’m in the situati...

My little boy won’t take to any cups I’m trying him with just can’t get the hang of it is there any particular ones people recommend, he also refuses to feed himself, he used to be great with little snack fingers foods and now just throws everything and wants me to feed him. Any advice on this too please?

What are we all giving out toddlers for lunch? I tend to stick to cooked tea so don’t cook for lunch, but open to all ideas

Has anyone else’s little one suddenly become really fussy with food and refuse to eat? I’m worried he’s not eating enough

Nhs says babies under 12 months dont need snacks just extra milk/formula feeds but is anyone giving snacks to replace milk/formula as the feeds cut down? Trying to cut out my babies 1pm milk for my return to work and want reassurance that im not an awful mother if i replace it with a snack even though hes 11 month...

When you're given baby toast do you cut off the crust or is it fine for them to have the crust too? Also how toasted are you going?

My baby is 16 months and she's just stopped eating, I can occasionally get breakfast down her but lunch and dinner is so hard, when I actually get food in her mouth she spits it out. Has anyone else had this problem. Shes drinking ok

Is it okay/normal for my baby to have near to no appetite in the morning? I don’t want to create a bad association with food but I feel like I have to try and get something down him… I’ve recently stopped giving the 10pm dream feed and now my baby is sleeping through where as they would have 10pm feed and 4 am feed...

My 9 month old has cut two more teeth and has completely lost his appetite for milk and food… has anyone else experienced this? My daughter never lost her appetite when she was teething.
