He was a week early so ended up a September bday and currently weighs 2st 3. I don’t know if I’m being dramatic but grandma who has him in the week gives so many snacks, we’ve been guilty as well to stop the tantrums which are always over food. I feel like I’ve created a bad situation for him with food

Anyone else's babes still not eating very much? My little boy is super enthusiastic about food, if you're eating he needs some but he will just bite it and spit it out 90% of the time He will eat purees and Weetabix and they say he eats at nursery but from what I've seen at home I don't believe it. I'm concerned ...

I just wondered if anyone is feeling that weaning their little one isn’t going well aswel? My little one is barely touching food it was initially going well but suddenly now over the last week is becoming fussy will cry in the highchair and won’t open her mouth for food?

How much should a four month old eat and how often?

This morning my boyfriends ex called me and asking if she can drop the kids off and we take them to school due to a mix up in her and her moms schedule. This is something we do often so I was like of course. Once my step kids were dropped off (6 and almost 8) I noticed she packed a long for the 6 year old which sh...

My toddler who’s just turned 2 , is giving me hard time . As in , she won’t eat at all . She’s been the picky eater but she’d eat anything I make her eat ( during her screen time ) and now she just won’t she keeps crying while watching cartoons and she just wouldn’t eat .

Has anyone else's relatives really seemed to want to push little one onto solids, we did once let them suck some chocolate (after being talked into it) but he got a bad belly now I'm quite adamant he is only having milk until 6 months as recommended (unless advised by health visitor etc) but older relatives are like...

My baby girl is going to start solids soon… any tips? Do I start her on the pouches first to get her use to new textures? What types of foods do I start her with? I’m clueless🙃

I have no idea where to start. Have just been doing purées and spoon feeding but want to get in to blw. I’m also so scared of him choking 😭, how do you get over that fear? are there any good meals to start off with blw? My son will be 7 months next week

Does anyone have any baby friendly chickpea recipes? My daughter is 9months old and toothless. I’m trying to get her into finger foods instead of all purées.

what breakfast cereal can i give to my baby she’s 6 months, i don’t want one too high in sugar. i don’t mind making it myself either so recommendations for rolled oats would help too thanks!

Has anyone started solids and can offer advice on how you did it, including allergen introduction. Any good links, recipes, tips, all welcome. Thank you!

Hi all, my baby hates to be spoon fed and has done really well with BLW since 6 months (currently 10.5 months). He won’t eat any porridge or weetabix for breakfast and so he tends to have something on toast, banana pancakes or fruit and yoghurt for breakfast. He used to enjoy porridge bars that I would make but now ...

Not strictly boy related… but does anyone else’s 3yo just refuse to eat bloody anytttthing. It’s so frustrating. Even more so when he will actually try something one day and I think *score, I’ll get more for him!* and then suddenly he refuses to ever eat it again. Ugggh. I just feel like I’m failing him when he s...

Sorry for the long post! My LO is 5 and a half months and soo ready for weaning already. I'm planning to start in 2weeks or so. The reason I haven't started already/ putting it off is because I'm feeling super confused and overwhelmed by it all. I've been trying to read as much as poss, but honestly it's just leavin...
