Would yall recommend to start feeding my 4.5 month baby cereal/oatmeal ?

I feel at a loss. My eldest is 8 years old. When I BLW him at 6 months he took to it like a duck to water. Ate everything and anything. To this day he is the least pickiest eater and I’m fully aware how lucky I am that he has such a great relationship with food. Now I know the whole food under one is just for fun a...

I was unaware of this until today, I make black pepper gingerbread cookies every fall. Gave the youngest kid (3) one to try and they licked off all the powdered sugar and tried feeding it to the dog. I quickly yelled no and called for the dog to back up because I didn’t know if the spices were safe. Luckily the dog ...

Im finding it really hard to think of different, easy to prepare and make meals for my baby for context I’m living in my family home and it’s very over crowded so I don’t get much time or space to prepare meals I’m trying so hard to make sure my baby is getting enough variety but worrying I’m not giving her enough.

Hi, I am weaning my baby tomorrow at 5 and a half weeks. We spoke with a health visitor and pediatrician and because my baby is struggling with reflux they suggested weaning. Just a quick question, do plates need sterilising? I understand about cups and spoons but do plates? Are they all suitable for microwave steam...

Just read tuna is a health warning for mercury levels. Do you offer your LO’s? Mine has this almost every week! Also does anyone buy low sodium canned tuna they can recommend?

Is anyone else really anxious about taking LO to a restaurant? They are super nosy so will not sleep whilst we are there and then start crying etc as they are tired so just makes me want to avoid them until they are older!

Does anyone know? Lol send me a link or pic if you have one. Thanks!

2 more months to be off formula I have no idea how that’s gonna happen any tips??

I am so proud of this dish because my baby LOVED it!

This weeks (or two) snacks for my little one! Found these in Aldi and boots I always like to get a different variety of flavours textured foods, both sweet and savoury options

Do your babies eat restaurant food already or do you guys still bring food out for them? Do you let them eat food with salt? I’m so conflicted.

So my baby recently had her 4 month well-visit and while we were there her doctor had told me that since she showing all the signs of readiness, she recommend we start giving her a bit of iron fortified oatmeal/baby cereal as I am severely anemic and it's affecting her iron levels since I can't produce enough. She a...

My 18 month old has suddenly stopped eating his meals. Has breakfast weetabix just about because he’s hungry in the morning from no milk overnight. Has a bottle before nap and bedtime. Lunch he only wants waffles, hashbrowns or anything potato. Dinner he doesn’t want anything so I’m constantly offering snacks to fil...

Who would I contact to get help with my toddlers eating? Hes 15months and really fussy and will only eat certain things, he hardly tries anything either and I’m concerned about it. He loves fruit so we always give him fruit but he’s just not great at eating most food.

Hey mama’s 👋🏻 my LO will be 6 months next week and I’ve slowly been introducing purées to him but wanted to ask how do you guys do it? I’ve tried homemade and pouches but he just spits it out. Don’t know what else to do. He tries to eat my food so I know he’s hungry. Thanks 😊

My LG is usually an amazing eater. However she’s been unwell this week with a cold and is now gagging on everything and refusing to eat stuff she usually loves! I’m hoping this is just because she’s ill and she isn’t turning into a fussy eater 😅 she’s only had a few colds and nothing like this before… also…

Veggie quesadillas for lunch (leek, aubergine, tomato, butter beans and cheese) with yoghurt and guacamole for my 11 month old

My child was sick last year and lost weight that was never gained back properly. I know the doctor said everything is fine with the weight but I was also told everything was fine by several doctors when my kid couldn't eat or drink anything and showed signs of being allergic to the meds. Needless to say, I don't tru...
