Pulling my hair out trying to think of ideas for what to give my baby lunch, that he can eat. I give him - cous cous, fritters (beans&cheese, vegetable) scrambled egg, toast (can’t really eat it though), pasta. Any ideas would be much appreciated 🤞🏼

My kid has been picky eater since 9months old. Early intervention didn't seem bothered cuz she has a list of food she may or not not eat consistently that is long ish (it's mostly fruits yall). So idk when taxes come I was thinking of getting the guide and solve this myself hopefully. But it's 150 bucks. So I'm ask...

I don't know what to do. Everything I try to offer my son he doesn't want. What can I do?

I’m having such a hard time getting this girl to eat more than a few bites🤦🏾‍♀️ I call her the boobie bandit because all she wants is boob sometimes on a good day I can get a couple bites in her but for the most part she just plays in her food and throw it and she won’t allow me to feed her she closes her mouth and…

No child should receive a plate before the man of the house.

I was feeding my boy a banana earlier and he was happy, then the MIL pulls out chocolate eclairs and straight away rips a bit off and reaches over to give it to him! She always does this! The other day she bought (sugar coated, jam filled) doughnuts ((yes I’m an unhealthy eating but trying to keep my child healthy...

Hello! FTM here and baby is 6.5 months old. I started weaning a couple of weeks before baby turned 6 months, and he hated it. He gagged and spat up the food. I started with cucumber, carrot and sweet potato which I had boiled and mashed with a fork. I gave baby a day in between and the last week or so, I’ve been giv...

Hi, FTM here. My baby girl is 1 month old, she weights around 4.8kg and usually drinks 120ml of milk (or formula) but I'm really struggling to get her to feed today... In the past 5 hours she's had 60ml in 2 sessions and keeps falling asleep while feeding. I don't know what to do! She's definitely not sick or const...

My LO will only eat sweet foods - basically fruit or porridge! I don't know what to do! Any other actual food and be just won't even try it or will gag at first taste and then refuse! I'm really worried as he's 9 months and he will be starting nursery soon too so I was hoping we'd be further along

How much should the baby be eating at 12 months? My baby is 12 months old and has not been drinking any milk for 3 days. I'm not sure if I am overfeeding Please can you share some photos. My baby eats really really well and I'm unsure if I am overfeeding solid food

I’m currently breastfeeding and recovering from a c section with a 12 day old and my partner working full time. He feeds really often so I’m struggling to eat enough during the day (I eat dinner when my partner is home to cook for me, other than that I maybe have a couple of biscuits throughout the day when I rememb...

Has anyone’s baby started showing interest in food? Mine has but she’s not quite ready yet.

I have to remind my husband continuously to not finish all the food or leave some for the kids lunch ect... I find it so annoying that I have to keep reminding him not to finish all the food in the house. It is so inconsiderate!

Why is it everytime I spend ages in the kitchen preparing food or even a coffee then I finally sit down my toddler comes to me demanding shit from the room I was just in! Asks for a drink or a snack. Like come on, let me have 5 minutes to drink my coffee🥹😂😂 and I can't tell him to give me a moment because he…

Does anyone’s toddler go completely off food when they have a cold? Mine has barely eaten anything in over a week now. Been to the doctors, it is just a cold and cough, doctor said his throat is a bit red so I get it, but how long is he going to eat nothing?? 😟

My baby is 14 months next week, we had him weighed and even with his clothes and nappy on he was only 8.1kg which puts him on the 0 centile. Hes always been small but tracked on the 9th centile and im so worried. He usually will only eat 2 meals a day and the odd snack but will take breast milk whenever it’s offere...

Hi mamas, I’ve been doing mostly purées and giving tiny tastes of my food but just recently moved on to baby led weaning for lunch times! Does anyone else’s baby shove loads of food in their mouth? She has teeth so she can bite pieces off but she takes huge bites or shoves another piece straight in! And then when s...

I've been reading about sensory diets and think my boy could really benefit from one as he bites and grabs a lot and it would be a good way to make sure we definitely get enough sensory activities in a day and the right kind too. But I have no idea where to start! Has anyone put one together for their kid? Any res...

Hi everyone, Has anyone tried giving normal Heinz baked beans to their babies or would you say they are too salty? TIA

Heyy everyone 👋 Can anyone suggest some breakfast ideas for baby? She can't have dairy or eggs and I honestly can't think of much other than oats and fruit
