My son is 16months and the pediatrician told us he isn’t where she wants him to be with weight(I think it’s bs he’s just a small kid/his bmi is like 16) but it really made me wonder maybe I should feed him more than I do? Some days he will eat a ton or want more which I always give him but some days he’s just meh ab...

I’ve been trying to get my son on solid foods for the past month. But he just doesn’t want it or spits it out. He loves his purées and has no issues with that. He also still drinks formula. Any advice for a new mom?

My baby is only 4 months old, he turned 4 a couple days ago. I took him to his doctor’s appointment and she said that he is 14lb and once he is 15lb in a couple weeks from now, I could start feeding him soft foods. I thought I had to wait til 6 months🤔

What do you give your baby for breakfast? I give porridges, weetabix, etc with boiled egg and some fruit.

I feel like he keeps having the same things all the time and would love to try something new, we do a mix of blw and purées

We started weaning last week and I’m worried that my daughter will not tolerate food. She has a mixture of different textures on her plate (finger food, mashed and purée - following a book recommended by health visitor). She is happy to sit at high chair and loves tasting all the different foods however will spit ...

At what age babies start tellin their fav foods and thsi food they don’t like so we mums know ok this is that we should cook and no waste of time and food 😇

My little boy has never been the “best” eater. He’s never been the type to pick up anything in front of him and eat it, it’s always been a struggle! He seems to not like certain textures and would rather eat crisps or snacks than actual meals. He also won’t use cutlery even though he knows how to, unless it’s a yogu...

For me it hasn’t been fun. I posted in the past about my baby throwing up a lot when he eats. I was giving him purées no solids because I was scared and he would throw up with that his oatmeal teething biscuits and puffs. But recently he seems to be doing better with the throwing up. It was always a lot and it was...

What are some bland/dry foods that I can offer my 9 month old whilst he’s unwell? Today he’s only had milk but tomorrow id like to be able to offer some food but nothing that will make him sick again. (Doctor recommended this) Thank you x

My baby was doing so well with solids. Then, she turned 1 and four new teeth started appearing. Now she is avoiding eating… anyone else is going through the same?

For example, I'm 17 weeks pregnant and I can't stand eggs. Whenever I eat eggs i find my stomach cramping a lot. Is that my baby telling me they don't like eggs?

I’m a first time mom and in my first trimester, I haven’t thrown up once but I’m just nauseous all the time day and night now. I know I need to feed my body so the baby can grow but everything sounds terrible. Any recommendations on foods?

My son has had a really hard time with his teething. When he started teething he stopped eating and now only has a very minimal diet and still drinks loads of milk. Anyone else had trouble with teething and had issues with food? I feel like he is so fussy with his food and suddenly decides he doesn’t like certain ...

What are y’all feeding your 1 y/o’s for breakfast 😭😭 my girl is allergic to eggs so it limits our options..she could tolerate pancakes but now she’s over them

My baby refuses to hand feed himself. Any tips? He's not a picky eater but will wait for me to come back.

He doesn’t have any teeth

We finally have teeth! What solids did you start with? So far we have only tried apples but want to give our little man more, especially with Thanksgiving coming up.

So no judgement pls as I used to cook my veg and salmon pre baby seperately but thought would bake together to get the fish juices in the veggies. Does anyone know what temp and how long to make sure veggies are soft enough but salmon not overcooked? Hoping I can give veggies as finger food and the salmon also in...

Can I serve my baby tuna pasta mayo? Just asking as it’ll contain mayo. She doesn’t have any current allergies and eats eggs regularly.
