Feel like the worst mum in the world! My little girl is 9.5 months old and she started nursery on Tuesday.. in the same nursery as her big sister who is 2.5! 2 days in a row nursery have rang me saying she won’t eat much of the food and they aren’t sure what to do with her.. we have no choice but to send her as I ...

My son is due to start at his childminders at the end of the month 😥 we’re making his own lunch box for him… I need some super easy and simple lunch time ideas that I can probably make/prepare the evening before. He currently just has tastes of my lunch so bits of pasta/ small amount of chicken/ mash etc. I want…

Can anyone give me some inspiration for high calorie foods to give my baby. We are doing purees, not BlW. She’s below where she should be weight wise due to cmpa and on special milk. X

It's now end of second week for my lo nursery. He goes Mon, Tye, Wed only. He already had his first cold, still has blocked nose. This week he cried every morning in when I dropped him off. He doesn't really eat there except fruit and snacks. Food is very similar to my cooking and to what he eat. Is this normal? He ...

I’ve been trying to wean my 7 and a half month old for 6 weeks now and she will not eat or even try a single food. She just will not open her mouth and if I have ever tried to quickly put a little taste in her mouth when she’s slightly opened, she immediately spits everything out. I have tried a mixture of finger ...

What does everyone feed their babies for last meal and what time? Trying to find food that will help him sleep through the night 🤣

Is it ok for baby to have a pot of greek yog every day.. they love it! I'm sure it's fine but just wondering what others do!

What are some breakfast lunch and dinner ideas I can make for my 8 mo boy?

My baby is 8 months and has been slowly eating solids since 6 1/2 months. We are now at 2-3 meals a day plus formula in between. Its easy when I am home 4 days out of the week but I work 3 days a week and she goes to a baby sitter. We send her with formula and Gerber oatmeal cereal but thats it and the baby sitter j...

Not being conscious about the food you’re introducing to your child is seriously setting them and you up for failure. Another hot take: if a neurotypical child will only eat chicken nuggets Mac n cheese etc that is the parents fault 😳 That being said: ofc the occasional fast food and treat is fine. But this…

My little one has just turned 19 weeks. Shes having a roughy 200ml of milk around 5 times a day, sometimes she’ll have a 6th bottle but not always. This does seem to satisfy her however she watches anyone who eats like a hawk, and then tries to eat her hands as she’s watching and dribbles lots! I couldn’t finish m...

My little girl is 9 months old, and is refusing to be fed by spoon more and more, but I can’t cook and everything I try and make for her fails miserably😂 Can anyone offer any tips or ‘can’t f*ck up’ meal ideas please? I really want to get off using pouches! She’s also got an egg allergy

When does your LO eat their meals? Do you give breakfast first or bottle first in the morning? I give my LO his bottle first in the morning then about 2 hours later I give his breakfast but I keep seeing people say you should give breakfast first I’m a first time mum and sort of winging it as I go

Anyone else’s 15 month old suddenly being fussy with foods? He used to love all foods,and now last couple weeks the foods he suddenly loved he’s being picky with. I understand it’s probably a phase and hell get there again soon. But how long does this last?

Now that our LO is having 3 meals a day we are struggling to come up with meals/foods that they can have when out and about. Right now our go to for lunches is scrambled eggs, avacado on toast or soup… all of which can’t be had when out and about. Anyone got any meal suggestions for on the go? For reference my LO is...

(my boy is 8 months)

My baby boy has just turned 7 months & we have been weaning him for the past 4 weeks. I started with making my own single vegetable purées and also gave him the same vegetables as finger food too to encourage BLW. I’ve tried as many vegetables as I can think of and have also followed weaning guides/charts. I’ve intr...

I'm starting over at almost 40 because my 23 year old step daughter didn't want to be a mommy. So my husband and I have guardianship of her. This is a new adventure for us as our youngest is 15. She was born 4 weeks early and is just now 8 lbs 5.5 oz. I don't know how to make her gain more weight. I feed her constan...

Struggling with this as I don't personally offer anything else for at least two hours as she'll often realise that's what dinner is and pick at it after a while. If she doesn't touch it at all I offer cereal after about two hours becauae by that time she must be hungry. (E.g. dinner at 5, cereal at 7 so she at lea...

Blended frozen wonky mixed berries in the food processor with full fat Greek yoghurt, squeeze of vanilla paste, squirt of honey, and juice of half a lemon. Freezes absolutely solid 😅 so broke it into chunks to keep in a freezer bag, take out before serving the main to allow to soften. Big hit, and nice treat with…
