Snacks??

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...

Questions

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!!

Eating

I see all these mums making fancy meals for their babies and I feel so guilty - I just can’t find the time to do any of that. And there’s little motivation too as she still doesn’t eat anyway.

My LB is always watching me eat, follows where the food goes, everything he grabs goes straight to his mouth and chews on it and he always seems to be hungry.

Pasta

What type of pasta do you give your baby? I tend to blend it and then serve it with sauce on a spoon. But can they have thinks like penne with sauce and not be blended? Does that work as finger food?

Baby hates potatoes

I know the title sounds weird but it’s true 😂 I’m from Ireland and potatoes are a staple to our meals every night. He won’t eat potatoes mashed, he won’t eat sweet potato, I even tried potato waffle and he just spat it out. It means I have to basically make him something separate each night! Anyone else experienced…
