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...

I walk in to check on them in the room. Bc 2 yr left his seat from eating. They were in the bd room with dad . Dad is playing the game. 2yr old was letting the baby 4 mo suck his fingers and I didn’t get wash them off after he ate bc I was draining the meat. Please I’m freaking out. I’m sure the toddler ate my most...

My baby has refused bottle since morning,he only wants solid food so when I make a bottle I end up using it to make his puree. How can I get him to drink his milk as it’s still very much essential for him at this age(7.5)

When we started weaning at 6 months my little boy loved all food, didn’t matter what it was he’d eat it. Then he started teething and then he started nursery and got one illness after another. Now he is sooooo fussy it’s unbelievable. The only thing he’ll eat is pasta dishes, omelettes and toast (and baby snacks) fr...

So I have a neighbor she has 3 lil boys and 1 lil girl. Everyday they come home after school they have a happy meal from McDonald’s. So I first thought ok maybe they just like to have they lunch in the happy meal box and they drink in the happy meal cup. But then I started noticing it was different boxes (like they ...

My 18 month old has gone off food he’s not eating no where near the amount he once was. He does have cold & cough & I believe he maybe teething presumably it’s that or is there a fussy stage at this age?

My little one turned 4 months on the 8th and she's been VERY interested in our food for a while now.... she watches us when we eat. Opens her mouth if we are holding her to try and eat our food. I never weaned my first child until 6 months but my little one is showing signs of wanting to wean.... anyone else in thi...

My little girl is 12 days old and EBF. I know I need to be taking on extra calories but I have zero appetite. I usually love food and have a decent appetite but I haven’t managed to finish a meal since giving birth. I get about halfway through and I’m full. She was back up to her birth weight at 9 days old and I see...

My baby will be six months old in a couple of days so we decided to start weaning this week. She can sit unaided and shows an interest in our food. We tried her with pureed vegetables this week and she just spits it out (with a ton of salvia) and fights away from the spoon so I stop. Is this a normal part of the wea...

Has had sickness, hand foot and mouth and teething in the past few weeks but is barely eating. He has breakfast fine and then just picks at lunch and dinner I don’t know what to do!

I started prepping for my sons 3rd bday and for his previous bday parties, we used to order pizza and get some chips and cake. This year, i wanna put in a bit more effort food wise. I was thinking mini cheese and salami sandwiches, maybe a veggie, fruit and cheese platter. What else? This is my inspo. The inspo pics...

Mums of babies going through picky eating phase - what WILL your baby eat?! We’re currently on plain pasta, plain rice, any breakfast cereal, fruit and hot cross buns 😂 previously she would eat any meal we had so it’s stressing me out at the minute I feel like she’s barely eating

Making dinner tonight, for the kids, trying my 8 month old on pasta tonight. My 10 year old already has this sauce. Is it safe for bubba?

My baby seems to eat loads and I felt a bit embarrassed today because people who we were out to lunch with made it out to be a big deal. We were out with family who have a 22 month old. She ate half a sausage and nibbled at a cookie. Whereas my 17mo boy ate 3/4 of a cheese panini, a packet of crisps, a bowl of abo...

Do you guys serve your baby fruit purées cold or warm them up?

What are y’all feeding your babies? My daughter is severely allergic to eggs!

Have you all done puree food at first? I’ve always preferred giving my daughter stick foods so she could explore the texture. Don’t know whether i am a reason or not but she prefers finger food over puree is that normal for a 7month old to not really try to eat puree at all?
