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…

Hello! Does anyone follow Barbra O'Neils and know how she introduces food to babies ? I keep trying to find lists of more explanation but getting a bit stuck ***PLZ NO HATE JUST LOOKING INTO IT ***

Does anyone start with porridge/ ready break first or go straight to veggies?

Hi We are currently on a weaning journey and I’m struggling to get our baby interested in food at all if I’m honest but we really struggle with her having anything before lunch! She’s 9months and due to start nursery soon so the lack of breakfast eating is stressful! Our routine so far is. 7am wake followed by ...

Waiting for food shop to arrive in next few hours and she’s turned her nose up at chunky puree meal i’d prepped last night for right now’s meal. She prefers self feeding stuff she can chomp on. Especially greens. Not complaining on that part. But she’s high maintenance on her tastes 🤣😮‍💨 Never done bagel with…

Never experienced this but my daughter has gone fussy with food! Help what do you do?

10mo has decided he will no longer be spoon fed anything but yoghurt 🤣 please could I have some inspiration for breakfast that's quite quick and easy to do or can be batch cooked and heated from frozen. We already do toast and pancake bites. Thank you!

So I have had ARFID since I was small and I really really struggle with my own diet. I knew weaning my little one onto food would be difficult but I didn't realise how much. Has anyone else been through similar and have any tips? 😞

What age do babies actually start eating food? My baby is 7 months. She is independent and refuses to be fed. She has to do everything herself lol I’ve tried just putting pure on the tray and she will play with it and suck it off her fingers a bit but she won’t really eat it. We do BLW too and she just sucks on...

Things have been hard on our family and we are having to budget more. I want to make sure our dog is still eating well, but I noticed we are spending $70 a bag. Are there cheaper options out there that aren't just junk for my boy? Edit: He is currently eating Natural Balance. The only allergy he has is pork.

Hi Everyone, I have a 14 months old daughter. She eats fairly well. However, the variety of food she eats become less everyday. I have to offer at least 4 different options every meal to make sure she will eat a decent amount. Any tips?

I see a lot on socials where babies are self feeding. My baby is almost a year and doesn’t like self feeding expect fruits and I end up feeding her all her feeds. I feel left out. How can I make her more independent and interested in self feeding.

Hello everyone so my little one is 9 months old and is currently eating table food about 2 times a day on top of a couple of baby food containers and 2 bottles (from 7-7:30am till bedtime at 8pm) she has normal bowel movements but they are getting solid which is a big concern for me… and she pees regularly no proble...

Hey everyone! I hope y’all have had a good day. I have recently been going down a whole rabbit hole of homemade things just because I’m sick of feeling guilty for giving my daughter all of the processed junk (even though it isn’t very often). Not saying there’s anything wrong with it I just felt personally convicted...

Hi just wondering for some advice over Christmas! My little boy will be just over 6 months on Christmas and I’m wondering what type of presents people would suggest buying at that age! Also what people do in terms of food. Obviously he can’t have a whole Christmas dinner but I’m wondering what people give their li...

so we're having twins and the hungry is so strong. it's so hard to keep eating and I forget because I have to take care of my 14 month old. I just need some things that can hold me over for more than an hour and a half 😭😭

To any second time mums, Is making purées and freezing them in ice cube trays a necessity, or did you find it useful? I’m about to start weaning my LO and following the “how to wean your baby” book, so the first 30 days we introduce something new rather than repeating a food… so is batch making and freezing a bit po...
