My little girl doesn't have a favourite toy, blanket or comforter. She doesn't really seem too interested in anything in specific. She does play with toys but no favourites. Is this normal at 11-12 months? Does your babies have favourites?

How are you all introducing solid foods? Do your little eat with a spoon or on a plate ? I can’t get mine to really eat unless it’s from a bottle … any suggestions or tricks ?

Feel like I'm failing so badly with my LB.. he's nearly 8 months old and there's so many things he still can't do! I know every baby learns at their own pace but he never rolls over (has only done this a couple of times and does it in the cot using the bars), doesn't grab any food from his tray during mealtimes and ...

Is anyone else's baby refusing purée and only doing BLW ( a few mouthfuls if that) My baby turns head / starts crying if I try to feed him with spoon. If I try giving him the spoon with food on he then just plays with it. I'm just concerned he's not eating enough

Really random, but what do you do for meals when you are out and about with your babies? Now the weather is getting better I’m trying to do more day trips with my little one, usually I take a packed lunch but if we were at home he would have quite a substantial meal for his lunch but I find all the cafés or food pl...

Is it okay that I don’t give my 8 month old food/purée everyday? Sometimes he will just have formula in the day and others he will have maybe a pouch and some fruit or biscuit to eat not really full meals.

Hey all, I'm bringing my baby with us to an event at a restaurant and it's around her dinner time (she's 6.5 months) should I bring a little cup of puree or something? Or just put her in a highchair while we eat?

Anybody else have a 17 month old who has never been great with food.. but omg, meal times are so unsuccessful everytime! He survives on bananas, eggs, toast, yoghurt and berries! It’s such a battle. So jealous of people who have kids that have just taken to food!

What are you feeding your los for tea? I struggle to cook for myself so most nights I'm not having a lot myself but need something quick for lo. She will only eat if she can feed herself she hates me feeding her on a spoon

My darling 1.5 year old will not eat dinner. Hes so fussy when it comes to dinner. He’ll eat the pre made packets like the heinz meals for 15 months + but ideally i want him on ‘real’ food. I even took the packet of the sainsburys chicken paella and tried to recreate it at home and serve it in the plastic pot.. nope...

My baby is 8 months and wasn’t too interested in food for a long time, I think because her teeth were still coming through. Now she has 4 and she’s ready to eat and try new things. But for some reason the whole food thing stresses me out. Making sure she’s trying enough things, what to try, being consistent. I dont ...

How is everyone's Lo's when it comes to eating? My son is still not that keen. No matter what the food is , he will have 2 bites if that, then just want his bottle. My previous bubbas couldn't wait to eat but not little man x

So I gave me and my daughter an ice-cream. She ate all hers and then wanted mine too. So I said no you had your own and then she started having a complete meltdown and screaming. I obviously gave her some but I told her she had her own etc so she can understand. What would you do in that situation?

Hi everyone, Can anyone tell me how their routine with breastfeeding and solids? We had a visit from a health visitor today as my little boy who’s 10 months a week today doesn’t swallow much food, he’s really interested in food chews it and goes back for more each time just hardly swallows. She told me I’m breast ...

MIL took 2 year old out for a picnic for a couple hours, 2 year old had standard picnic food but also 3 biscuits, an ice cream, a lollipop and a packet of haribo I’ve never given any haribo or lollipops ever before and now my kid is very ridiculously hyper, do I say something? Am I allowed to be annoyed

Hello I'm planning to give my baby his first meal tomorrow which will be puréed sweet potato. I believe the recommendation is 1 meal a day. I'm starting quite late as he is nearly 7 months but he's ready for food now. Mama's is there a specific time in the day you'd feed baby this 1 meal a day? Like example afternoo...

Anyone else’s LO that’s started weaning just hate it? We’ve only tried broccoli, avocado and potato so far but she absolutely hates it, will happily put spoon in mouth with nothing on but as soon as foods on she won’t 😑

Since being on solids only, my girl has climbed from 45th to 70th centile. So I feel we are clearly overfeeding her. But she usually finishes everything so we just assumed ahe was still hungry and gave her more 😞 could someone please share what appropriate portion sizes are? For example she has porridge every…

My 19 month old is such a fussy eater! Will only eat a sandwich at dinner - which she’s now refusing and at tea time will only have certain meals aswell. We’ve tried new meals but she throws it and goes to bed hungry. Does anyone have any advice or even going through the same thing? Feel like I’m going insane!

When they’re in one of those ‘I won’t eat anyhing’ moods so you just offer a bit of everything and hope for the best 😂 Spinach, kale & cream cheese pasta Homemade white bread fingers Grapes Veggie straws Pear slices Wish me luck 🙏
