I wonder if I started my baby with puréed food too early. He is not fully sitting yet but he does sit in a bouce chair and when I feed him with baby cereal mixed with his formula he likes it a lot. He is not choking or anything… what are the thoughts on this?

We’ve just moved onto BLW after purées. My baby’s has loved finger food like melts sticks. Any solids we give him at the minute for finger food he’s biting then spitting out. Any ideas?

Hi Baby is now on 3 bottles. Morning night and late morning and dropping to morning and night next week with three meals. I keep seeing online that babies under 12 months don’t need snacks but if they’re not snacking how can I keep her going from 1pm to tea time? Do people give snacks? I tend to make these myself ...

When are you starting your babies on food like baby porridge?? My little girl is 4 months old and a few people are questioning me why I haven’t got them on porridge yet… Should I start her on it or continue with just her milk??

I’m a FTM and my 10 month LG is doing well with her meals but I’m a little stuck on what snacks to offer? Especially when we’re going out. Any ideas for snacks?

Hi everyone just a quick question my LO is 18 weeks old this week I’m just wondering what age did everyone start giving there LO the smooth pouches

My lo eats breakfast at home (a big portion of porridge), and then has snack, lunch (11:30) and tea (15:30) in the nursery, which is what we also do when she's at home, and then on those days she's at home we do dinner at 5:30 and bottle at 7. However, on nursery days she seems to come home ravenous, and wants to ...

hello all, just wanted to know what everyone is feeding their 7 month old 😁 He is my second born and he’s a foodie unlike my first one so I’m very excited to try new recipes . Can you please all share what everyone is giving their young ones and how much are they eating in a day.

Is it acceptable to give your 15 month old essentially ready meals for dinner every night? Like the Heinz ones etc.

My little girl loves having a snack after her morning nap. We do use kiddylicious snacks and she’s a very confident eater. I do offer apple matchsticks, pepper slices, cucumber batons that type of thing but looking for new ideas to jazz things up a little as she’s quite keen to try new things and always gives it a g...

What do you do with your toddlers while feeding your babies? I'm trying to breastfeed but am finding it really hard to give my toddler enough attention, keep him entertained and out of trouble while I'm basically glued to the sofa feeding.

I am really struggling with meals for my twin boys. They are picky eaters so far. Does anyone have suggestions for meals/snacks that kids love or apps/groups where I can find ideas? Thank you.

hey all, i’ve noticed my 10 week old for the past several days has been eating about an ounce less at every feed than she normally does and she’s been slightly fussy during feedings all of a sudden too. it’s worrying me slightly. does anyone have any idea why this could be?

When is the best time to start baby food? Doctor has already oked it, but i feel like 4 months is still too young.

Does anyone else have a snacking baby? My boy is 15 weeks and during the day he feeds every two hours, sometimes less. Night time he goes longer (4-5 hour stretches).

Can other moms with small babies chime in? My little guy is 3.5 months and 11.5 lbs, developing right on track but only in the 2nd percentile. He was born at 39.2 weighing 8 lbs but just seems to be a slow grower. I keep seeing other moms post their big chunky babies (which is great!!! nothing better than sweet baby...

Am I a bad mum if some days I don’t give my baby purées/solid food because I simply don’t have the time or energy to prepare, feed, tidy up, clean baby, clean mess…obviously as she gets older I will be feeding her everyday but she’s 6 months old now so I sometimes get lazy with solids EVERY single day as she’s still...

Made these today, which my almost 9 month old loved so much she ate 2 🤣. They are tomato, courgette and cheese pinwheels (made with vegan cheese as baby is cmpa)

I will be taking my little one on holiday when he is 10 months. He is currently nearly 9 months and mostly eating puréed foods and I’m unsure what he will eat when we are away all inclusive , should I take packets of food? Does anyone have experience of this?

My baby is 17weeks and is super interested in food whenever I eat she’s watching me and she’s also trying to grab my food. Would love to hear other mum experiences
