Any tips on how to prevent ears from popping? My 15 month old still nurses and we haven’t been able to find a milk that he isn’t allergic to. The last time we flew I was able to get him to nurse on the way up but he didn’t want to nurse on the way down which resulted in him crying because of the ear popping. Would s...

Hi all, my 20 month old toddler is being extremely fussy with eating at the moment & it’s really worrying me. He seems to go through phases where he will actually eat really well, but that phase unfortunately doesn’t last long & it’s like we go back to square 1 where he just won’t touch anything! I try so many diffe...

Hey, what is everyone getting their baby for Christmas? Obvs will be around 14 months! Any ideas welcome! :) Side note, has anyone else’s LO started eating less?

Does anyone else’s babies love to stuff their mouth with food to the point they have hamster cheeks? Doesnt matter what my daughter has, she always has to have more than one piece in her mouth if shes feeding herself and if i tell her to wait then she kicks off at me 🤣🤣

I've just bought some baby rice and a few different pouches for my girl cause jm a bit nervous about BLW. What meal is everyone introducing food to? Eg breakfast, lunch, dinner? And what did you start with?

My son has had a cold for 2 weeks, doctor said he’s fine however he will not eat and it’s driving me to insanity. Is this the start of a picky eater?!

Hey my 7 month old is teething and doesn’t eat purées very well he wants to play with the food and doesn’t want to eat any hardly and when I try spoon feeding him he turns his head away but he does have a few melty sticks during the day. Anyone else going through teething and weaning? Not a good combo!

Do I allow him to chew? What’s safe to chew on. I’m so confused we werent (as kids) allowed to do none of this so telling him it’s okay is kinda hard so I guess I need to find things he can use to help? Recommendations he never when licked or chewed like this when he was a baby he’s 2 now 😭

My little girl is 6.5 months and a HUGE foodie. We do one puree meal a day and BLW the other 2 meals. I'm running out of ideas for food and am getting bored of preparing 10 meals a day. I'm a vegetarian and my partner isn't, our little girl will be eating meat when she's a bit more confident. Any meal suggestions wo...

So my son just turned 10 months old. He has NO teeth yet. And I’m really struggling on what to feed him. He eats eggs, mushed broccoli, mashed potatoes and sweat peas mushed.

Kind of a random one but what did everyone eat before their induction 🤣🙈

My boy is nearly 17 months old and the last few weeks of feeding have been horrible. He will not eat for me anymore unless it’s plain pasta, toast or weetabix. i can get some fruit into him every so often but every day he changes his mind. Any one gone through this and come out the other side or have any tips? He...

So he is already 1yo and still on formula. Fruit for breakfast a lot of snacks during the day. But if I put him lunch or dinner he wont eat any. He only wants a bottle. What can I do?

My child is a picky eater. So whenever she doesn’t eat enough or at all I make her a bottle of milk with cereal to thicken it so it can full her. Basically another meal. It’s too thick for her to drink from a regular cup. I want to start taking her off but I’m worried she won’t get enough nutrients from her food. Sh...

I’m really struggling with BLW. My LO is nearly 8 months old and he won’t eat anything other than purées or mashed up food. I preload a spoon and he feeds himself, but I just can’t get him to eat finger foods or proper meals. He just plays with it and drops it on the floor. Does anyone have any tips or advice? I’m s...

Does anyone else’s 3 year old just won’t eat breakfast anymore? He used to eat weetabix without fail and now he’ll rather have random stuff for breakfast… biscuits, crisps, cucumber & pepper the list goes on. He’s asked for weetabix twice and literally only had one mouthful of it. He’s also had a fair few mouthfuls...

My 7 month old loves toast What can I put on toast for her? So far we’ve tried avocado which she really enjoyed

My 20 month old is refusing to eat. Ive tried EVERYTHING: pancakes, eggs, yogurt, rice, nuggies, pasta, you name it. She fights back so hard. Today she ate 2 cookies, 2 bites of a cracker and 2 bites of toast. She will drink full fat milk all day if she could (She has 4 8oz bottles a day)I am getting very frustrated...
