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

When can we start giving honey to our child? Is it 1 years old and onwards?

We've been having a problem with eating since about November last year. She just seems to be grazing all the time. Mainly eating fruits and some veg, yoghurts and oat bars. We do offer her meals she says no, turns her head and pushes food away, as soon as your bring fruit or something she'll gobble it up. I'd phone...

My baby had a reaction to cow and gate porridge and ended up in hospital, he’s had a couple of reactions since to different fruit and veg so we’ve been advised to avoid every ingredient in the porridge (wheat, soy, and milk) and not to try the things he reacted to again (or fruit) So my question is what can I wean h...

My son is vegan but is very picky with food. And 80% of his food ends up on the floor. He likes French fries , broccoli sometimes , pizza , grilled cheese or pb toast Today he made an effort to say French fries ( pen pyes) lol

I started feeding homemade purées today I felt so proud when she ate some and I’m looking forward to this being apart of our routine 🥹 Apple and spinach with a little bit of breastmilk to help make it that purée texture

My son in 2 months will be 2 years old. When it comes to eating dinner he never wants to eat his main meal. He only wants to eat fruit or vegetables not sure what to do about. If anyone has any advice that would be gladly appreciated. Thanks

Anyone elses baby not like berries but LOVE pickles?? I keep trying to introduce berries to her but she is not a fan. Pickles tho, she’ll eat everytime. Anything else i should offer that is similar to pickles and has good nutrients?

My little man keeps stacking his fingers at the root of his tongue and gaaging. I am worried he starts “enjoying” it and will keep doing it out of habit/for fun How do you discourage your babies from doing it? He mostly does it right after he had a meal to be fair, but sometimes when he is just bored as well

What supermarket snacks are you keeping for your 2 year olds in your cupboards? 🙏 I always buy the same ole things for my girl so just needing some new ideas please. Cupboard snacks only as she always has fruit & yogurts in the fridge 😃

We started weaning just before six months and are over a month and a half into it. My little boy has never let us spoon feed him and will turn his face away and not open his mouth irregardless of whether it’s a food he appears to like. He likes to feed himself which is fine for us, however he still doesn’t seem to b...

My boy usually loves the veggie straws and I picked some of the Aldi ones up earlier but just looked at the packet and it says 3+ on them. I still suffer with such bad food anxiety about my baby eating anyone know why they are 3+ the other brand don’t seem to be?

Please can you guys help! My 1 year old was really good with food until about a month half / 2 months ago. She got ill and started to teeth. She wont eat anything but finger food. She has stopped eating pasta, rice and yoghurt now. She wont eat vegetables unless its hidden or if its a potato. She has now gone off ma...

Anyone else’s baby not taking food? If I offer my baby 3 things she maybe picks up one and doesn’t want to eat. I see her and I feel like she’s skinny. The Dr says she’s normal weight but I just feel defeated as a mother since it’s my job to make sure she’s eating.

I'm looking for a good lunch box for my 1 year old. I'm super worried my MIL is going to over feed my daughter when she looks after her because she is forever going you sure she doesn't want a biscuit right after she's had her dinner and a pudding. She gives my other nieces under 4, 6 biscuits one after the other so...

At 8 months and 5 days my girl completed 100 foods before 1 yesterday 🥳 It actually wasn’t something I planned to do it just sort of happened! I did mostly blw with the occasional pouch (mostly if I was craving something cheesy because she can’t have dairy), ingredients from most things haven’t been counted…

What kind of diet are we doing? Not as in dieting/calories counting but what sort of foods to feel full whilst feeding

Toddler is not eating much. (He use to eat strawberries, blueberries, banana, rice, noodles, pasta, bread, PBJ, Pancakes etc and veggies with his meals). Now he only eats apple sauce and yogurt. And milk in the morning and night. (Glad he still have those). He loves snacks like cookies etc. But I am not giving him s...

My 9m old isn’t chewing. I tried to give her small chunks of soft food but she still struggles with chewing. I’m not sure what to do or how to get her to practice.

Would this be okay ? I realize after I used this sauce for the second time to finish it off that it has red wine, I’m not sure if this would be ok for him, I never cook with wine at home and didn’t realize this had wine in it 🙈
