How would you serve minced meat for 8 month old? Also what fat percentage or does it not matter?

I need some advice, my three month old son is eating almost 7-8 ounces every hour and is still acting as if he is starving. He is in the 96th percentile and has always eaten above average. Everyone is suggesting that I add rice to his formula but I’m unsure if this would help him feel more full for longer. When did ...

We’ve been doing mostly pureed food so far. I’ve tried rusks and the melty puffs which he seems to like. I want to start getting him used to more finger food/ textured food but cannot for the life of me think of what to give him other than soft carrots/sweet potato 😂

He usually wakes up between 6.30 and 7. I won't try him with breakfast until about 8 because he will just refuse. Then he will maybe have a few spoonfuls and not want any more. I don't offer snack until 9.30, but it doesn't seem to make any difference. He just doesn't seem hungry in the mornings

I’m scared to do the whole baby lead weaning so currently puree/blending food. But just want to know what your food/milk schedule looks like in a day

What are we giving our picky toddlers? Every since my son turned one he started being picky so since he wasn’t eating my mom told me to get him pedisure so he been drinking that with his milk but he doesn’t need it cause his weight is fine he was born full term and I’ve heard only babies who are underweight or have ...

How much water does your toddler drink? How much liquid (including milk, juice etc) should a toddler this age be drinking?

My LO will not touch fruit at all unless it’s a fruit pouch! I’ve tried many different ways of getting them to eat it even when I’m eating it but still nothing. They will happily eat their vegetables all day everyday! Any recommendations would be greatful! Thank you

What are some healthy lunches everyone has been eating? I’m getting sick of all my normal stuff.

Hi moms! My baby is 7 months and he is refusing any solids. I introduced solids (purees) at 6 months old. He can sit proberly and independently, he plays with food but never (ever) open his mouth to eat. Has anyone have the same problem? What do you recommend?

Hi everyone so my son who will be 18 months next week who would eat anything and everything you gave him suddenly only wants fruit or apple sauce pouches started Monday ish he did get the stomach bug Friday evening but seems to be completely better today every time I try to give him and of his once favorite foods he...

My baby has declined all bottles since his last at 11.20am today but has eaten his breakfast/a puree/a rice pudding/yoghurt. Should I be worried? I've given him food as I'm worried about him having nothing all day and he's been accepting that/seemingly enjoying that fine, it's just the bottles he's been declining....

Can I ask if you're giving your baby 3 meals a day atm yet, and what they are having for each meal? My LO usually has weetabix or porridge for breakfast, then I struggle to decide whether to give him something like a homemade savoury puree like swede and carrot for lunch or dinner. Are you giving your LO something ...

At 12 months old my son used to eat everything and now he chews his food and spits it everywhere. We are constantly struggling between do we give him more and he just wastes food. I am trying not to get upset but it’s so hard when food is expensive and he is just throwing it all or spitting it all over the place A...

My little one loves breakfast so is only consistent in eating quite a bit then (weetabix or toast), rest of the day he just survives on yoghurts and snacks. He will not try anything else. Still breastfeeding, does not like cows milk so try to give with breakfast Can you share timing of your meals or types of food y...

What are you feeding your babies? My almost 13 month old is eating so much, she almost eats the same amount I eat lol I don’t know where all that goes! I need ideas for snacks and meals to add more variety! We prefer natural and homemade options, but open to hear about healthy prepackaged ideas you may know about...

Hey yall, is anyone else’s 15 month old suddenly a super picky eater and or will refuse to eat but continuously say they’re hungry? My LO has really only wanted to nurse recently and hardly eats real food. He’s been eating real food since he was about 10/11 months old and now suddenly doesn’t want it

Ready go! (Include quantities for cooking please… this momma is still learning. A pinch of this and a spoonful of that is hard! 🤣)

He wants food and gets excited but then looses interest fast and eats a bite or two!
