All suggestions are welcome. I'm running out of ideas 🫣

LO’s appetite has increased and wondering what are your bubs snacking on? Please tell me what can I do better on my LO’s meals when is not in the nursery: Morning first thing - boob followed by bottle Breakfast - Oats with fruit and one scrambled egg most days Snack - rice cracker and dairylea cheese slice and fruit...

Hey, does anyone have any tips to help my little girl eat more foods, she is really fussy and hardly eats anything and when she does eat it’s a few small mouthfuls. She’s on the 7th centile so she is not a big baby already but still I worry as it’s only 5 weeks until we are meant to stop formula 🥲 any tips or…

I’ve been trying to find good, fun recipes to make for my baby so she can eat it with her hands etc. However, I keep finding that people online recommend a lot of things that contain sugar/salt. I see tons of BLW recipes with a lot of cheese (and even vegan cheese as an alternative, which has no nutritional value) w...

My 15 month old son has been gifted 8 Easter eggs from family and friends in total. He has had chocolate before as a treat but only tiny amounts. I have terrible mum guilt when I even think about eating his Easter eggs but I can’t possibly give him 8. He also still has chocolate left over from Christmas that I can’t...

Hi everyone, I could really use some advice. My little boy just turned one, and he was doing so well with baby-led weaning. He wasn’t the most advanced, but he was happily feeding himself finger foods and making steady progress. Then about six weeks ago, teething hit hard — four new teeth came in, and since then ev...

Any advice on how to manage the fussy eating my daughter is currently facing? Nursery says she eats brilliantly but at home it’s becoming very different, with a lot of refusal. Any help or guidance welcomed :)

When did you guys start letting your baby use their own utensils to eat with? My girl is almost 16 months and up to this point she’s either fed herself with her hands or I had fed her with a fork or spoon. I have OCD so I am trying to get over her being a messy eater when it comes time, but any tips or advice would ...

I know they like mac n cheese, but anything else

So I started my baby with purées since about 4.5m because he was interested and ready. I’ve now added more solid foods. And no matter how much solids he eats, he continues to drink the same amount of breastmilk. I know “food before one is just for fun” but even after I’ve fed him, if I begin eating anything, he will...

so my baby is 10 months old next week and it seems this week he just doesn’t want any food! he’s drinking his milk all the same but he’s not eating much actual food. he had a temp a week ago but he was fine within himself but it’s just this week he doesn’t seem interested in his food and there’s sooo much waste. is ...

Sainsburys shop bought low salt cod potato spinach leek cheese gratin ready meal (I do make home made stuff but this one is a big big hit with her and low salt for how flavoursome it is etc. she has maybe quarter of it, I have rest). Will post it in the comments if any mums are rushed for time type meals and want to...

What are we putting in Easter eggs for our babies that isn’t candy? I can’t imagine filling an egg with Cheerios is going to be a good idea when she breaks them open.

My little one isn’t 1 yet and isn’t fully eating whole normal food we are going to a family meal at miller and carter and I can’t warrant paying for a two course meal for him when I know he won’t eat it all. Has anyone been before and taken your own food for them? Or if this frown apon? I would love for him to be at...

My LG has eaten meat previously in pre cooked meals but everytime ive cooked meals with meat in weather thats small diced chicked or beef, mince in sauces or in pies she doesnt eat it, anyone elses LO like this? Any suggestions to get her to eat meat that's not in pre cooked processed food

My little girl would not eat any of the food I cooked for her, she won’t eat freshly made food, and I have to give her something else either toast or Ella’s kitchen pouches (savory ones) or yogurt. 5 out of 10 times she would reject the food I made for her. I’m not a great cook and not very creative. But it’s gettin...

we went to the aquarium and then had a picnic! he definitely did not eat this all but he did have fun just kind of messing with it. Did eat the oranges though those are a fave!
