Hi, my little one is just over 13 months now and is being extremely fussy with food. She eats breakfast of porridge / Weetabix / fruit and then lunch she’ll have sandwiches or omelette or similar but anything else she just refuses to even try. I make her pasta and rice dishes with veg but she just says ‘no’ and turn...

Just found out, as my son turns 1, that he is intolerant to dairy, oat, coconut... among many many more 😭 I always suspected, but doctors dismissed all of his symptoms. I'm having major mum guilt right now for not pushing and giving him a regular cows milk formula for so long. Doctors won't prescribe him any milk…

My little one is 2 in December and she’s so weird with food. If I cut fruit up and put it in a bowl or on a plate, she won’t eat it. If I put it in a small pot, sometimes she’ll eat it. However at her grandparents when they give her a small pot of fruit she eats it no problem. I was always told to show them when you...

Help! He won’t eat anything at dinner times and other meals are becoming a struggle too. He’s suddenly got an aversion to everything. I couldn’t even get him to eat potato waffles and they are usually a sure get! What do I do?

Is anyone's else's nearly 4 year old not eating at dinner time (evening meal) I make a meal knowing she will eat it, but no I don't want dinner, not I don't like it, just doesn't want to eat it. Been going on for a while. She's OK during the day i don't let snacks interfere with meals. Just SO frustrating!

Anyone have a fussy toddler or any tips, my little boys diet consists of - breadsticks, plain pasta, plain rice…. He will not eat anything else, we always make him what we are eating but he will throw it away or on the floor or just not eat. Apparently he eats his lunch at nursey although I hardly believe that! Man...

My baby is 6 months old and we’ve started weaning her about a month ago. She has just breakfast, the odd little snack and sometimes an evening meal. When do you start giving your baby 2/3 meals a day?x

Currently having an issue with my toddler throwing up her bedtime bottle and wondering whether to adjust her dinner time...

I need to diversify! 🧢👏🏼🥤👍🏽

So I was so overwhelmed with the weaning after the first couple of weeks and gave my baby the jars and pouches (I was starting back to work too so these were handy) but baby will not eat anything I make. I know she doesn’t even know the difference between my cooking and pouches but she just will not entertain it if ...

I have a very busy lifestyle, two kids, working full time, lots of after school clubs.. my baby is so used to this, but I need some meal ideas that are relatively quick and simple for those busy days! Please.🙏🏻

I’ve noticed over the last few months that she’s started to use her hands more again, especially for things like rice or pasta.

I feel terrible! I was rushing and didn’t even think, gave him a spoon full and he cried instantly 😢. He spat it out, and after about 30 seconds of crying he stopped and started pointing for his dinner. He ate the lot once it cooled and has been happy since I feel terrible 😩

I’m starting my baby on puree and was wondering do I always have to mix the fruit ? Or can I just give him a whole puree banana ? Cause what if I mix it w like strawberries and he’s allergic to strawberries but not bananas but I won’t know which one ?

Hey, so my daughter recently turned 1 and we are down to the last couple of tins of Alfamino and will not be prescribed anymore. We’ve been putting oat milk into her formula and this morning I gave her a little cup of oat milk on its own (she’s had it before on its own) but today starting gagging and brought it all ...

Next week I plan on starting my little girl on solids. I don’t want to do baby lead weaning just yet but will start in about 4-6 weeks. I’ve bought the aptamil porridge and baby rice. I just don’t know when and how to start giving it to her. She has a 4-5 oz bottle between 5/6am will got back to sleep till about ...

Hey, my lo is nearly 6 months so we are starting him on little bits of food. I’m just wondering what yoghurt everyone is getting for there baby?x

My little on is 5 months so looking into weaning next month 😬 if anyone has started yet.. what have you started with and how are you adding more foods!? I would like to start with purées

My baby boy is 6.5 months, we started weaning about a month ago and he LOVES food from day 1. He doesn't really like BLW, he prefers to be spoon/hand fed like a prince. I would like to get some new ideas of what I can offer him so I would really appreciate it if you could share your baby's favourites so far. Our fa...

We are just starting weaning next week. Any tips or advice? We were unsure whether to start with baby rice or go straight to vegetables?
