Some days my little girl eats really well and we can be finished a meal in 15 mins or so but other times she seems completely disinterested in eating and just wants to play with her food and make a mess.

How much food do your little ones actually eat?

I don’t know at what point I should start panicking (to be honest I already am) My LO barely eats. Breakfast is our most successful meal by far and I’m probably getting half of one Weetabix and half a mashed banana into her there.
