Hello ladies, hope everyone’s doing well! I’m starting to worry my little man’s not getting enough milk. For context, he was 7 months last Monday. We started weaning him in early December and he eats EVERYTHING! We’ve done purees and finger foods (toast, watermelon, eggy courgette fingers etc) and his purees are p...

My baby is over 10 months, and we’ve explored all versions of solids. He just really isn’t interested! We’ve tried reducing his formula intake to make room in his tummy for snacks, but that didn’t go over well either. He thinks food is fun to play with lol… Anyone relate?

My little boy is 2 and a half and I’m finding it hard to get him to eat his meals. He won’t touch them no more but at nursery he’s going back for seconds! I’ll make what he would normally eat, I have tired new food with him, I have made what he would eat at nursery, we all eat at the table together as well and he wo...

Now the babies are all over 1yr old, is there anything they can’t eat? Is it ok to give them crisps? My husband just gave my son a packet of wotsits and that’s never happened before. He ate the whole packet and I’m worried it’s a bad thing? Is there any food off limits? I know everything in moderation but anything...

Silly question but my second child is so much more hungry than my first he’s 6 weeks old and I’ve just upped to 5oz so I space out feeding more or leave him at 4 hours 🤦‍♀️😨you never done learning with kids 😂☺️

Please can someone share their meals for their 8 month old please? My little girl still has mashed or pureed foods, she just goes sick when BLW x

Just over a week ago now my 17 month old over night started refusing all his normal food. Before now he's been a really good eater and would try everything. Now he won't even eat food we know he likes and usually asks for. I'm at a loss of what to do it's got to the point I have to sneak a taste in his mouth when he...

How do I get my little boy to eat more fruit? He’s 16 months old and seems to hate every fruit other than bananas and strawberries. I’ve tried all sorts - kiwi, cherries, oranges, nectarines, mango, melon, apple, pear, plums. He will sometimes eat stewed apple / pear in with his yoghurt but I don’t want this to be t...

My bubba has taken slowly to weaning but we’re getting there. Lately he’s developed a habit of chewing food and then not swallowing it. He will do it with all foods from lumpy purées to toast to chicken and strawberries. But other times these same foods he’ll swallow. I don’t think it’s that he’s full because once I...

Hello everyone, I hope you are well, I am in a complex process with my toddler when it comes to food, he only likes crunchy things and it is difficult to introduce him to new foods, any suggestions?

Hey all! Hope everyone is doing well, quick question, how do you do to give vegetables and introduce to him new food to your toddlers, because it's getting a little battle everything I'm trying to bring to mine some of them, I already baked cookie carrots and is a complete NO, I don't know what else to do! Suggestio...

Just after some advice! We are using baby food pouches for when we are having dinners which are too high in salt for our LO with no way to substitute (for example tonight's dinner revolves heavily around soy sauce!) However my 7MO isn't finishing food pouches yet and it feels like a waste every time, has anyone wa...

We had a tagine inspired chicken stew and modified it slightly for my son. He ate everything apart from the halloumi as I panicked about the salt so he just had one bite and I had the rest 😂 Finger foods: Chicken thigh carrots, peppers, onion, dried apricot Sauce: Above veg + chickpeas & chopped tomatoes

Hi, my daughter is 7 months and not really doing that well with weaning. She's only having a couple of mouthfuls and stops. We've been trying single fruit and veg. My partner bought rusks and wafers and thinks it will help with weaning. They have sugar in them and I'm a bit worried about giving them to my daughter. ...

Not sure where else to ask about this but this seems like a place where people may be kind and understand as it is something I am very ashamed of. I'm in my thirties and I am pretty sure I have Arfid, I've always had an incredibly restricted diet because different textures make me gag However, I'm pretty sure ther...

What are your kids favorites? My daughter doesn't like meat and eats mainly fruits and veggies at meals. I'm struggling to find snacks to feed her in the middle of the day. Right now it just seems like she eats yogurt and cheese and I wanted to give a little bit of variety. She doesn't really like gold fish and crac...

Hi mommas! Are your toddlers more picky lately? My son keeps finding foods he used to LOVE that he won’t touch anymore. Mostly cheese and fruit at this point if he has his pick. Also - does your kid eat mostly on their own? Or do you still help? TY!!

My kids ate so many vegetables today it was crazy Like not in “true” form but veggies nonetheless I made banana spinach muffins for breakfast that were topped with a walnut carrot streusel my son who acts like he doesn’t like anything green ate 6 of them Then lunch I made a green sauce for their pasta that had c...
