Height at 2 percentile

My son is 12 months old, and his height is at the 2nd percentile. We’re really worried—has anyone else gone through similar issues? He doesn’t eat very much, around 25 oz of formula per day. The doctor recommended we add PediaSure and cow’s milk + keep feeding him solids.

Do your kids have unhealthy stuff as well as good stuff?

We’ve been away for the last week and I swear all he’s ate is pizza, chicken nuggets and chips. (Was all inclusive) Pizza and chips were fried but it’s ALL he would eat and now I feel bad I allowed him to eat that much bad stuff😔

FOOD

It depends on the day and her mood as well. She’s going with a new baby sitter soon and I have to pack her breakfast and lunch. I...

I’m getting so stressed because my 18 month old has suddenly stopped eating she was a fairly good eater, she’s been eating less and less for a couple of weeks and has now stopped completely and will only eat a biscuit.

Porridge

Would this be okay to give to my almost 7 month old? I want to mash a banana up and add it in for extra flavour Would I also be able to mix it with her formula or would it have to be cows milk (tested the allergy and she’s fine with milk)

Cold meal recommendations please.

So I just need cold food ideas for my “efficient” husband (who doesn’t even have time to waste on microwaving food). Ideally something that can just eat straight out of the container. If your recipe is a salad. It should be able to hold a dressing for a few days without getting soggy. Cause and I quote again “I don’...

He freaks out over them unless it's plain bread, pasta, noodles, etc. "safe foods" or if there's no sauces or weird textures. However lately he's been very quiet.. you speak ...

Meal time set ups

Hi ladies I feel like mealtimes have become the most stressful part of the day with my LO and we need a reset. We sit in the kitchen. He is in his highchair and I sit opposite him on a bar stool leaning on the island. We're not level - I'm a bit higher. He doesn't really eat - more so throws everything; doesn't wa...
