I am having such a hard time getting my kids to eat anything that doesn’t come out of a box or frozen. I try to offer meals we cook but they refuse and when I’m at my wits end I just give them something I know they’ll eat bc I need them to EAT something. I feel like such a failure.

My almost 7mo has started solids and he is LOVING every minute of it! Problem is my husband hardly ever feeds him purées, solids, etc because it’s “too messy.” I’ve been having health issues and asked him to take over feeding tonight (spaghetti) and hubs got some on his hand and freaked out and said that he knows to...

My little boy is almost 3, were on the waitlist to be assessed for autism. He constantly puts objects in his mouth and chews on them. Whether these are hard objects, chewable objects, books, and he quite often seeks these objects out, especially at preschool, has anyone got any advice or alternatives for me to buy him?

as so many of the posts on here seem to be lately because of toddlers and their mad eating habits, i have a food question😅 my daughter is obsessed with tangerines at the min, she had 3 yesterday and today - is this okay or should i be limiting them? sure it'll be fine these couple of days either way, but just want…

Anyone elses LO seem to have an issue with spoons when weaning? I've tried 3 different types of spoon with my LO but he refuses all of them. He'll happily take puree off my finger when offered, but won't touch it on a spoon. I've tried loading the spoon for him to feed himself, but generally he just flings the food ...

Just like to get peoples votes on how you’re feeding/fed your baby at 10 months old. Feeling major pressure I’m doing it wrong.

I’m looking of coming off purées baby food and actually going on to proper food but I’m a little anxious has anyone got any good suggestions especially what to start of with? Photos would be good as well so I know how to serve Thank youuu Photo for attention

Has anyone else got a fussy eater toddler🙈 all I seem to manage to get down him is his breakfast and a sandwich for lunch, some fruit.. then once tea time comes he looks at his food and walks away or launches it🙄 do I offer alternatives that I know he definitely likes or do I just leave him? Dunno if I’m making a…

We’re thinking to start wean soon so I’d like to buy a food steamer and blender in one as I think it would be very handy to prep baby’s meals. Could anyone recommend a good one? I keep seeing mixed reviews so I don’t know which one to go for.

How old were your LOs before they starting swallowing food? 3 months into BLW and losing the will to live

My son literally couldn't give two hoots about food, even the good stuff. I try everything to encourage him but hes so stubborn. If he was a big baby, i wouldn't worry but hes tiny & i cant afford for him to not get the calories 😭 he likes what he likes. Any finger food just gets launched & if he doesn't want to…

Hi everyone. Baby has been on two feeds a day for a month now-he usually has some some sort of fruit/veg puree around midday and then porridge before bedtime around 6/6.30 with maybe a melty stick or two in between. Big baby so ready for third meal as he’s devouring everything and handling it well. Can anyone give m...

Please tell me I'm not alone! I really don't know what to do. He refuses it all (except some fruits, milk and the odd thing here and there). I'm losing it at every meal now x

Hi moms, i’m a first time poster on here, i’m just curious, i’m make all of my little man’s food at home including a majority of his snacks… i have asked a few moms around town about if they would buy off of me and they have said yes, but now i have to figure out prices…. anyone have any idea how much i can sell pur...

Which brands?

Does anyone’s baby hate puréed veg and fruit? I have tried a lot and it makes her gags until she’s sick😩

My genius sister went dumpster diving with friends last night. They went to Krispy kreame and found 20 boxes of donuts. They put the donuts in a sealed box and dump them upside down so people won’t eat them. She claims they’re perfect donuts just a little ugly. I now have 4 box of trash donuts on my clean counters 🫠

mamas help me out here! my baby has been eating purées for a while now, but it feels like he isn’t progressing. anything we’ve tried with chunks or pieces in it he hates. we tried mashed potatoes and he spit them right back out🫠 he’s had purées but we haven’t tried baby cereal oddly enough. we haven’t tried most of…

So I think finally my boy is getting back on track after having chickenpox thank goodness! But he is now very fussy with his food, it’s completely hit and miss! Will happily have all snack sweet stuff but god forbid you offer him something which he use to love 😂 he just won’t eat it! Things like hot dogs or cheesy…
