A random question - I have these vitamin gummies I give my 3 year old. I only give her 1 a day - even though it says you can give 1/2 per day. Would you give 2 a day? I just worry with her being so small that giving 2 is for older children. But with all these winter bugs going around I’m wondering do I give 2 to h...

My little girl doesn’t really eat much yet, she’ll be 8 months in a few weeks and will hardly let me near her with a spoon. I did try some baby led weaning but not had much success either. She really enjoys melty sticks and puffs and will eat straight from the pouch which I’ve done a few times but don’t want this t...

My dog(lab) has always been food motivated. Always begging and drooling while we eat anything. But with my daughter he will steal the food from her hand. She usually throw the food to him, if she doesn't, he will snatch it form her hands and eat it. The other day she started crying. I don't know how to stop this be...

Hello friends!!! Which brands are you guys opting for 6+month old baby food? I was reading online about heavy metal issues, so was confused which brands are safe to use.

My 13 month old won’t eat anything soft she can squish with her mouth… she won’t eat chicken, ground beef/chicken or fish.. she won’t even eat rice and I’m feeling defeated and having such a hard time feeding her…. Any advice?

I’m really stressing out that my 12 month old has gone off his food over the last 24 hours but he is teething. He is still having milk so should it be ok for now and try again tomorrow?

My LO is 8months today..she’s been weaning since 6months and after trying BLW and making my own blends it’s been established she only likes the jars and pouches. Before weaning she was on 33oz of milk a day roughly..she was 94% before weaning and she’s now since last month she’s shot to 98% so it must be the weaning...

I see a couple of videos that at 1 they should be using metal cutlery… My LO won’t even feed herself using plastic let alone trying metal. Does anyone have any tips of how to get her to start holding her cutlery without launching it or using it as a drum stick instead of using it to eat 🫣

Wondering if anyone can help - my 1.5 (19 month old) is so hard to feed. He hardly eats at all. Maybe 2 hash browns and a yoghurt for breakfast or porridge, then won’t eat lunch, snacks on crisps that’s it, has a banana sometimes and then eats 3 scoops of whatever I’ve cooked for dinner and then everything he puts i...

She has breakfast (toast, wheatabix, porridge) absolutely fine. It comes to lunchtime and I make her food and she doesn’t try it and throws it away. I then get worried she’s hungry so offer her milk before her nap. She is the same with dinner. She won’t try anything!! I’ve tried so many foods but doesn’t seem to wan...

Does your LO eat the same 3 or 4 foods. Mine does and I just feel like he’s not getting the real nutrition he needs. Trying him out with new foods is always difficult because he doesn’t even want to try once he doesn’t know what it is. What can I do? 😭

Daddy’s homemade pasta with hidden veg tomato pasta sauce, gammon and cheese. Followed by strawberries and blackberries, a yoghurt, and a small gingerbread man.

We've been weaning for just over a month now with purees and some finger food like broccoli, avocado, carrots, oranges etc. baby eats twice a day for breakfast and dinner and he mostly finishes all his purees. However I've been trying to introduce texture in his food like lumpier or mashed foods but he won't eat it ...

Hi all. So my 9 month old has a great appetite. Up until now we had been giving a mix of homemade food for dinner plus a few pouches-probably about 60% home cooking and 40% pouches as I visit my mother a lot who’s away and pouches are just handy. Baby has never rejected home made cooking always took everything and a...

Bear with me this might be a long one 😅 1. My baby does not like water, he won’t drink from a sippy cup or a straw cup - should I try putting it in a bottle? 2. We’re doing veg purees at the moment because I have no idea what I’m doing. Where do I go from here? Are people making purees with chicken and fish and…

My baby loves her food but only purées / me spoon feeding her. I gave her a carrot todah to try and taste etc and she just stares at me and throws it etc and has no concept of putting foods in her mouth on her own yet? Is this normal. I can’t BLW as it won’t work😂😂 she is 7 months.

Hi everyone, I’m curious about how other parents manage their kids’ meals. Could you share: 1. What types of food you usually give your kids? 2. At what times during the day do you serve meals and snacks? I’d love to hear how your children respond to different foods and if you follow any specific schedule or rou...

How much are you giving your baby n how often? What about introducing purée? When do you give your baby foods n how much at a time? Thank you mamas in advance 💕

How do I get my 1 year old to eat more meat. She goes straight for the veggies which I’m glad but she doesn’t really eat the chicken etc. she’ll chew on it then spit it back out.

I am a nervous wreck with this weaning process🤦‍♀️ I started on pouches/jars as i was abit clueless and deffo overthought it all. But now she still has pouches/jars cuz any fresh food i give her she wont touch hardly whereas jars she’ll eat the lot.. so my question is… what can i give her?! She still hasnt had…
