Did your pediatrician give any advice about what to start with? Mine wanted baby cereal or baby oatmeal. Then veggies then fruits. Said cereal is easy and has iron. We are on Bobbie formula that literally has all the iron she needs. I don’t want to start with it. Her dad is also a person who wants to follow the do...

Anyone else 15 month spitting food out he use to eat everything now all of a sudden he barely wants to eat and just plays with the food

How do you get your little one to stop throwing food on the floor? My daughter is 15 months and she knows not to throw the food on the floor, but she does it anyways. Especially now that she knows the cats will come over and eat the food. She will purposely throw it on top of them. I understand she’s still young and...

Looking for advice or support please. My LB eats without much fuss when his daddy feeds him meals. With me, he tries to take the spoon away, throws food around and he doesn't eat more than 3 bites (and sometimes wakes up hungry at night). I don't know why he's different with each of us. We both sing songs to him whi...

My 8 month old is refusing milk.not little but a lot. He is just pushing the bottle away. He used to drink well up until 8 months. I tried reducing the solids but he is still refusing the bottle and drinking way less than he should be drinking a day. He loves solids but as milk comes first I want him to have that a...

When did you introduce cutlery? What training spoons etc did you use?

I honestly just need a rant because I am honestly HATING and DREADING meal times with my one year old…. All he does is moan sitting in his chair…. Will constantly turn his head away from the spoon, any finger foods will throw…. I am sooooo sick of making meals for him to just CONSTANTLY REFUSE and just be constantly...

My 17 month old used to be a great eater but the last couple of weeks have been so hard. He’s currently living off Greek yogurt and nothing else. I’m hoping it’s just a phase. Has anyone else had this?

How much puree can I feed my 5.5 month old. I’ve been giving a couple of teaspoons full at dinner but no idea if that’s enough. He seems to want more but no idea what’s too much Only just started purées the last couple of days

Is anyone else’s LO biting the melty sticks/ wafers rusks etc, my LB just wants to bite them all and he’s not giving it enough time to melt in his mouth before swallowing which is leading to him gagging and bringing it back up, which is a good sign but he then goes straight back to biting them, anyone else’s LO doin...

My baby girl is currently 12 months and 1 month I am still breastfeeding her throughout the night but I am having trouble feeding her through out the day she won’t eat breakfast or lunch or dinner she will ether nibble it and just throw it what should I do

Is it normal for a 9 month old to completely refuse many foods? My little boy won't even pick up most foods, let alone try them. There's a few safe foods like toast, baby Crisps and oatcakes which he will always eat though, but he won't try new textures, most fruits and veg unless pureed. Should I be worried?

My daughter was ill a few weeks ago and off her food (understandable and normal), but she is still refusing most meals now she is better. The last few days she’s probably had a weetabix a day, maybe with a few breadsticks, and her usual favourites like bananas, salmon, curry are just a complete no. I don’t know if s...

My son’s birthday party is going to be from 10.30am-12.30pm. What foods should I serve? I don’t want anything that is too much hassle as I’m already stressed trying to organise the party! 🤦🏼‍♀️

Anyone got any pictures of dinners that they’ve been given their baby recently? My baby is eight months old now feel like he’s just having the same purée stuff all the time at the moment. We have a meal subscription and a lot of the stuff in that he isn’t allowed to eat so find it quite hard thinking of stuff to coo...

Random question someone said to me the other day that I shouldn’t give baby sausages we have Cumberland sausages in our HelloFresh meal next week and was thinking of giving my eight month old baby a little bit to try is this now wrong?

Trying to think of breakfast ideas for my little boy, he can’t have milk or eggs so I’m finding it quite tricky other than through all the time and porridge

Anyone else’s baby not eating much at all? Keep seeing posts about babies eating 3 meals etc a day and some days my 1 year old will only eat a yoghurt and a bit of toast. It’s really starting to get me down 😔

When are we supposed to start solids? Is it by March or April? My baby was born in oct. Is it at beginning of 6 months or end of 6 months? When can we start giving them water? Also, there are some porridge items which is suitable for babies 4-6 months? Does this mean that we can start solids little by little from 6...
