Food

Is anyone else's 1 year old eating an unbelieve amount of food at the minute? I feel like I just can't fill him at the minute. He's eating nearly every 2 hours whether it's snacking or meals. I've been given him quite big portions to try and fill him up a bit but no luck. Is this normal? 😂

Food offered when unwell

Hey, my little boy is feeling unwell and is barely eating. I'm at a loss for what foods to offer. So far he ate 3 tiny bites of a pancake, refused toast and then ate a biscuit at a snails pace.

Breakfast ideas?

I struggle with ideas for breakfast. What do you give your little ones? I can’t keep giving him ONLY porridge and yogurt 😂 I have tried toast but he keeps biting off huge pieces and trying to swallow the whole thing which makes me anxious!

Very little appetite for solids

My nearly 18 month old eats such tiny portions of food at meal times, if anything at all! She’s a healthy, big girl and always busy, singing; chatting, directing orders etc! So she’s clearly getting more than enough good stuff for her development, but I’m concerned nearly all of that is relying on breast milk... whi...

How do I get my almost 3yo to stop putting non-food items in her mouth?

She will try and taste playdoh, puts stickers her mouth, I can’t have any small toys around either because she does the same. I thought she would have outgrown this by now 😣
