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.

Our little boy used to be a great eater, especially at breakfast. Quite often he would eat 2 weetabix, plus some of our toast and some berries. Over the last while, he just hasn't seemed as bothered by food, barely eating anything at meals and just grazing on snacks. He also keeps wanting to play with his food again...

What snacks are we all giving our toddlers? My girl is a big snacker, so always offering something pre packed (kiddylicious, organix etc) can get quite expensive!

I thought it was advised to start small with one food sitting per day to determine allergens… but TikTok is showing me 6 month babies eating multiple meals throughout the day! Helpppp x

My 16 year old, who really is a good kid, is supposed to feed our outside cat. However, I have to tell him every day to do it and half the time he still "forgets." Earlier today I told him feed the cat and he actually did it and came back and I said see if he needs water. He looks out the door and says, "He doesn't ...

I started offering purées to my LO since 6m old and I'm still doing the same as I was stressed to give him pieces earlier. Now that he's 10m old, I thought it was a good time to start offering him pieces but he just doesn't want to touch anything I offer to him! He literally puts everything that is not edible in his...

My little one eats with only hands and refuses cutlery, any tips please?

Anyone else’s lo launching food at meal times? My lg doesn’t even taste it and chucks it. We thought about getting a catchy tray thing but there’s no point as she throws the food so far. Any advice on this? She is 15 months

My LO dislikes (borderline hates!) toast, bread, pancakes, bagels….. anyone else experiencing this?? Wonder if she will grow out of it as this has restricted my already limited ideas for breakfast and lunch 🤯😫

And what do they usually eat at lunch?? Need ideas please 😭

How many solid meals does your little one have, how many milk feeds, and how many snacks, and how the heck do you fit it all in a day?! please can you help with some ideas for lunches and snacks and timings. Really exhausted with these sleepless teething and sickness bug nights this last month has been murder.

My daughter has had some trouble gaining weight but recently gained some weight. I have had success as I managed to reduce breastfeeding and as a result her appetite had increased. She still wakes at night to feed and I have tried my hardest to stop this but not had any luck yet. I am not willing to sleep train as I...

My little girl is absolutely food obsessed and it’s getting embarrassing. She is so greedy. She won’t do anything if she knows there’s food about. It was recently her birthday party and she refused to play because there was food there. She just hung around in the kitchen trying to steal food. We make her healthy mea...

She's brilliant with breakfast and lunch but dinner time she refuses anything. Sometimes she will have a pouch or a round microwave baby meal but in terms of solids, she's starting to refuse. This has only been happening the last week or so. Shes on 2x 7oz bottles a day & drinks plenty of water throughout the day. ...
