My LO will only eat sweet foods - basically fruit or porridge! I don't know what to do! Any other actual food and be just won't even try it or will gag at first taste and then refuse! I'm really worried as he's 9 months and he will be starting nursery soon too so I was hoping we'd be further along

How much should the baby be eating at 12 months? My baby is 12 months old and has not been drinking any milk for 3 days. I'm not sure if I am overfeeding Please can you share some photos. My baby eats really really well and I'm unsure if I am overfeeding solid food

I’m currently breastfeeding and recovering from a c section with a 12 day old and my partner working full time. He feeds really often so I’m struggling to eat enough during the day (I eat dinner when my partner is home to cook for me, other than that I maybe have a couple of biscuits throughout the day when I rememb...

Has anyone’s baby started showing interest in food? Mine has but she’s not quite ready yet.

I have to remind my husband continuously to not finish all the food or leave some for the kids lunch ect... I find it so annoying that I have to keep reminding him not to finish all the food in the house. It is so inconsiderate!

Why is it everytime I spend ages in the kitchen preparing food or even a coffee then I finally sit down my toddler comes to me demanding shit from the room I was just in! Asks for a drink or a snack. Like come on, let me have 5 minutes to drink my coffee🥹😂😂 and I can't tell him to give me a moment because he…

Does anyone’s toddler go completely off food when they have a cold? Mine has barely eaten anything in over a week now. Been to the doctors, it is just a cold and cough, doctor said his throat is a bit red so I get it, but how long is he going to eat nothing?? 😟

My baby is 14 months next week, we had him weighed and even with his clothes and nappy on he was only 8.1kg which puts him on the 0 centile. Hes always been small but tracked on the 9th centile and im so worried. He usually will only eat 2 meals a day and the odd snack but will take breast milk whenever it’s offere...

Hi mamas, I’ve been doing mostly purées and giving tiny tastes of my food but just recently moved on to baby led weaning for lunch times! Does anyone else’s baby shove loads of food in their mouth? She has teeth so she can bite pieces off but she takes huge bites or shoves another piece straight in! And then when s...

I've been reading about sensory diets and think my boy could really benefit from one as he bites and grabs a lot and it would be a good way to make sure we definitely get enough sensory activities in a day and the right kind too. But I have no idea where to start! Has anyone put one together for their kid? Any res...

Hi everyone, Has anyone tried giving normal Heinz baked beans to their babies or would you say they are too salty? TIA

Heyy everyone 👋 Can anyone suggest some breakfast ideas for baby? She can't have dairy or eggs and I honestly can't think of much other than oats and fruit

When can we start giving honey to our child? Is it 1 years old and onwards?

We've been having a problem with eating since about November last year. She just seems to be grazing all the time. Mainly eating fruits and some veg, yoghurts and oat bars. We do offer her meals she says no, turns her head and pushes food away, as soon as your bring fruit or something she'll gobble it up. I'd phone...

My baby had a reaction to cow and gate porridge and ended up in hospital, he’s had a couple of reactions since to different fruit and veg so we’ve been advised to avoid every ingredient in the porridge (wheat, soy, and milk) and not to try the things he reacted to again (or fruit) So my question is what can I wean h...

My son is vegan but is very picky with food. And 80% of his food ends up on the floor. He likes French fries , broccoli sometimes , pizza , grilled cheese or pb toast Today he made an effort to say French fries ( pen pyes) lol

I started feeding homemade purées today I felt so proud when she ate some and I’m looking forward to this being apart of our routine 🥹 Apple and spinach with a little bit of breastmilk to help make it that purée texture

My son in 2 months will be 2 years old. When it comes to eating dinner he never wants to eat his main meal. He only wants to eat fruit or vegetables not sure what to do about. If anyone has any advice that would be gladly appreciated. Thanks

Anyone elses baby not like berries but LOVE pickles?? I keep trying to introduce berries to her but she is not a fan. Pickles tho, she’ll eat everytime. Anything else i should offer that is similar to pickles and has good nutrients?

My little man keeps stacking his fingers at the root of his tongue and gaaging. I am worried he starts “enjoying” it and will keep doing it out of habit/for fun How do you discourage your babies from doing it? He mostly does it right after he had a meal to be fair, but sometimes when he is just bored as well
