Curious if you let your little ones have snacks while in their buggy (not while you’re pushing/moving) or if you’re sat with them on their play mat or is every meal and snack time always in their high chair?

I'm starting my girl on solids now as she's turning 6 months this weekend. I know you're supposed to introduce one plain vegetable at a time to begin with, but how many people just give them whatever you're having/got in the house on that day? E.g. I've given her banana, carrot, potato and broccoli so far, as I at...

Is any one else’s LO going through the not eating phase? He won’t eat hardly anything! Used to have a snack at night, now won’t have anything! Won’t eat lunch at all, has breakfast and then 3/4 mouthfuls of supper

My little girl starts nursery in January, the food timings are super early compared to what we do at home. They do breakfast 8; lunch 11 and tea 3. We are only on one bottle now and she eats a variety of food so I’m not worried about that, however, our HV wants her to be weighed again as she slightly dropped to th...

Sometimes if my son isn't too hungry or isn't fancying what he's eating, I'll give him an Ella's Kitchen fruit pouch because he still really enjoys them (he still obviously has proper fruit too).

Made the very silly mistake of getting an advent calendar for an 18 month old who obviously doesn’t understand the concept of one a day and has never really had chocolate before. She’s now demanding choccy multiple times a day and having a meltdown when she doesn’t get it. What can I do to make her forget? Help!

My son turned 5 months old on the 15th July, he takes 6-7oz formula bottles every 3 hours. He started waking for night feeds again and takes the same amount so is clearly hungry not for comfort. He shows all signs of being ready for solids, can sit up completely unassisted for a few minutes before he notices somethi...

My 13 month old has always occasionally thrown food or other things on the floor but now it’s constant? Every meal he throws his food on the floor and once he’s had a drink throws his cup too. We’ve broke 3 water bottles this past week😂 after he’s thrown it he will get upset and point to the floor. How do I get…

Has anyone’s GP recommended baby starts on purée’s now!? My son has been spitting up a lot but as he’s on the “98th percentile” our GP isn’t worried like we are BUT she recommended he starts foods as he’s 4 months? But when I had my daughter 9 years ago…they were adamant she’s to start at 6 months…. I have neve...

I am not a fan of fish, hate string fishy smell, can't stand tuna or fish fingers. Has anyone got any fish recipes that aren't too strong smelling as I would love to like fish and my little one is weaning so want give him fish dishes

When did you all give your baby meat and fish? My LG is 4 months old and been told my doctors to feed her so been giving her food for about 2 weeks now she’s had so many different veggies and fruit but I was just wondering when to introduce meat to her. Do I just wait till she’s 6 months or can I give her some pure...

When my baby was poorly and I was just desperately trying to get him to eat anything, I let him suck the yoghurt straight out of the pouch as he absolutely wasn’t letting anything on a spoon go near him. However, since getting better he will now only suck yoghurt out of the pouches 😬. Does anyone else let their…

4 days old How often you little one feed and how long My little one some time feed every 4 or 2 hour about 5-15 mint

I’ve only been doing g puree but I want to start introducing proper food. I’ve seen people mention an app that tells you the correct way to sever the food in a safe way. Can anyone tell me what the app is called

It’s day 3 now and my son is refusing to eat anything but he is drink water and milk which is good. Should I be worried him not eating?

My LG is 8 months old and I really want to give BLW a try I tried when she was 6 months old but I was too scared she was going to choke so I stuck to puree. She eats buttered toast every now and then but when I gave her omelette she finds it hard to chew and it tends to just stay in her mouth. What kind of foods sh...

Question for only families that are limiting intake of processed foods, fried foods and sugar: What do you do at birthday parties, holiday events, etc where junk food is normalized?

Anyone else’s baby completely on solid food? My baby has milk as a beverage but will only eat solid food. We’re doing baby-led weaning because keeping up with her and her appetite is challenging at times.

I’ve seen her doctor numerous times about her eating and she tells me it’s very normal for toddlers to not eat much but as a mum this is really concerning to me. I can just about get her to have 4oz of whole milk mixed with chocolate milk everyday and that’s WITH effort which is no where near enough that’s recommen...

My daughters just turned 1 on Saturday, is it best to get her onto oatmilk asap? We still have about 7 tins of aptamil pepti left. I have started putting some oat milk into a few bottles here and there and she’s not minded!
