She’s been poorly and hungry for a week now and what I mean by that is, very very minimal food. Hardly anything at all. She seems to have lost her appetite completely and is coughing a lot at night. I’ve made so many soups she straight up rejected so we offered her safe foods today, we managed to get her to eat half...

How many times do you feed your 1yr old food or give milk

My LB still wont take to any solids. He’ll barely accept a spoonful of puree a day and only very occasionally will bite into a baby wafer. Ive spoken to HV and they can’t suggest anything we haven’t tried - I’m at my wits end. He’s EBF and very demanding of the breast, he will take formula and a bottle so I’m thinki...

My LO is 8 months and has refused both formula(anything in a bottle) and solid foods. Does anyone have tips on how to get her to start eating purées or even formula?

My daughter is a very picky eater and has food allergies to top it off. How much does your baby eat in a typical day? (Solids)

So I still don’t think I’m giving my LO enough or the correct snacks. What does everyone give their babies? I still struggle with giving her new things because I’m terrified of choking. I think I’m holding her back because of my fears

Does anyone’s toddler have the appetite of a teenager?? My 3 year old is constantly wanting to eat throughout the day and she can eat an adult plate.

Anyone’s toddler successfully drinking from an open cup yet? I am just starting my son now. Also do you still use plastic cutlery or are you starting to use the metal ones?

Has most people given their LO a plate and it’s not been chucked on the floor. I still have to put all food on the high chair tray or feed her myself, otherwise the plate and everything on it is on the floor in seconds - she’s 14months on 24th.

Little ones lunches and dinner the last couple of days (7 nearly 8 months) had a lot of bean and cheese 😂 A mixture of fresh and frozen meals 🩵

Started weaning my son who turns 6 months in 10 days. He looked like he was keen always smacking his lips and swallowing as he would watch us eat, great head control. I mashed up avocado one day banana a different day and today avocado and banana. His facial expression is like he is disgusted and he spits it back o...

When did you introduce solids to your baby? Also was your baby sitting on their own? Our doctor said to wait until our son is able to sit on his own. He will be 5 months in a few days and he has been showing interest in food like crazy. He is able to hold his head up but doesn’t sit on his own yet. Should I wait or...

MIL keeps making remarks about my toddler’s eating and several were accusatory of starvation. This is something she has done since he was born. I have finally gotten to the point where I am sickened by her. We were in my car. My OH was driving, my In-Laws were in the back with my toddler. He likes to chew on one...

I am week 3 into weaning my little one, i originally started out combi weaning (a puree with a bit of the food) and he wasnt interested at all in the actual bit of food (ae tried brocolli, carrot and banana) but liked the puree. We stuck to puree weaning for the last 2 weeks and he just sometimes doesnt seem bothere...

How much is your monthly grocery bill for a family of 3 with 1 toddler?

My son will not entertain anything that isn’t a yoghurt like texture, I’ve tried everything I can think of to introduce more lumpy foods and he isn’t having it! Has anyone got any tips for this

Hi guys ❤️ I wanted to ask for advice as a FTM. My daughter is a little over 2 years old now but refuses her high chair now. We are trying to let her just sit on the table with us but she cannot stop getting up. I always try to tell her to sit back down but she just doesn’t listen. Is there something I am doing wr...

Baby is 10 weeks old she has 210ml/7oz every 3 hours hipp organic but she is getting aggy around 2.5hrs she already has over 1000mls a day 😫 she is such a hungry baby birth weight was 5.4 so was not a big baby.

So I’m trying new things with my LO and I’m completely clueless when it comes to food because I personally don’t really have a good relationship with it, I eat once a day and I’m happy with whatever because I’m not a massive foodie. So if anyone could drop some meal ideas that would be a great help ❤️
