Hello,👋 I’m new on this app & I’m trying to find more mommies out there that might have and tips and tricks for picky eaters ( my child does have autism ) and has sensory issues with textures. Most food she won’t eat but we still offer it

Why won't my baby eat anything?? He's used to be such a foodie but now it's a miracle if he takes a bite of anything idk what I'm doing wrong:(

My boyfriend always monitors what I eat now I’m 29 weeks pregnant and this whole pregnancy. He’s always telling me “oh too much sugar.” Or “Oh don’t eat that there’s too much salt in there.” Or “Oh that’s not healthy you should have something else instead.” I eat really healthy although I do allow myself to have ...

My first was brilliant with BLW. I was probably more chilled out with her choking etc, she was and is very forward. but my second I’m still so hesitant, she’s good with purée’s, squished fruit but I see some mums giving toast / harder textures and I just can’t imagine my daughter being able to swallow? My first at t...

Our son doesn’t eat a ton of meat. He gets his protein from mainly dairy. Today after eating a Christmas cookie I noticed his eczema flare which makes me think it’s a gluten thing and he mainly consumes like grilled cheeses, quesadillas, pasta, etc. my guess is because a cookie isn’t baked very well it caused a fl...

Crushed weetabix, natural yoghurt, raspberries and peanut butter!! Works with banana, fruit purée too :) Game changer for self feeding weetabix at breakfast 🍴

What’s everyone offering for breakfast for their preschoolers now? If it is porridge - which type or brand is it? Still don’t feel too keen on cereal for breakfast atm but need more ideas.

OK this is such a stupid question but how do you all test the temperature of food before giving it to LO? I thought to pop a bit on spoon and touch to my lip and then wipe it away because I have a texture thing and can't handle actually getting some of babes food in my mouth but I'm worried I'm going to put baby of...

My 6 month old isn’t interested in food is this normal? Iv tried for the past 3 weeks and he just doesn’t seem to like when the food is actually in his mouth. He hasn’t worked out he just needs to swallow it. He watches when I have food so thought he must be ready but doesn’t seem th take to it. Iv been trying purée...

My bby just turned 8 months and doesn’t seem interested in solids to much. Here n there he would take a spoon of food. I would put things on his plate n just let him explore type. But an actual spoon fed he doesn’t seem interested. Any thoughts/advice

I really hope this is just a phase but if my daughter doesn't want what we've made her to eat for a meal, even though I asked and she nodded thats what she wanted, she will throw it all on the floor. Do any other mama's have this issue?

What sort of meals are you giving your one year olds?

Hi all! My 16 month old is not the best eater, but she loves milk. We think she’s filling up on milk and not super hungry for real food. We’re thinking of switching up her schedule to make mealtimes prior to her milk times and want some input on what others are doing. Her current schedule: -Wake up 6:45am ~ given ...

My son is 1 and he won’t let me feed him, he prefers to feed himself but he also throws most of his food on the floor? Anyone else? Any advice pls x

When did you guys first give your children sandwiches?

Sorry if this is a silly question when weaning baby led, I’m doing puree carrot today and finger sized slices do i feed her with the spoon the puree or do i let her try herself

Has anyone found any like premade vegetable fingers or croquettes in the supermarkets? Added a pic for reference. I've seen a few but all seem to be fairly high in salt

My son’s (3) pancake broke in half. Shock horror (anyone with a toddler will understand how much they hate broken food 🤦‍♀️) be had a fit. I explained that the pancake will take exactly the same and now he has 2 (sometimes works) but nooo he wanted another. No I’m not wasting food like that, he throws pancake on…

I’m a little confused by it all, with my first I done baby porridge then purée etc before starting on mashed then finger foods, but this time I’d like to do more baby led weaning- but I have no idea where to start 🙈 How do you give the first things? Do I still give purée first etc? Any advice would be welcome.…

When your baby started purées, how much did you give them a day? I have let my baby taste everyday but how much is he allowed to have when just starting?
