Anyone else’s LO refusing to sit in their high chair atm? Up until the beginning of this week, my little girl has always eaten her meals in her high chair absolutely fine. Now she’s refusing and will have a full blown meltdown until she’s taken out of it. She’ll only eat if she’s sat on our laps at the table. I don...

Anyone else’s 13m suddenly very fussy eater and refusing meal times? He doesn’t even drink a lot of milk 😭 All he likes to eat is pasta and blueberries (and sometimes croissants) 😂 He used to be a fairly good eater before! I’ve heard some of it can be genetic? 🤣 my mum says I used to be such a tricky eater too…

My 9 month old had reflux so we started weaning with puree/mash food. He does take some finger food like toast or breadsticks but only hard/rougher food. When it come to meals he throws it all on the floor or cries. I have tried putting some larger lumps in his hand or closer to his mouth to see if he will take it...

So now babies are 1, do they need water available all day? Like a cup always near? Because my baby is never going to drink if we just offer at meal times!

Has anyone given honey yet, in porridge etc?

Help me understand. I know honey isn't allowed at this age, but does that just mean like honey on toast or stirred into yogurt? Or does it extend to honey Cheerios as well? (Which has a miniscule amount bc I checked the back) Also, on Christmas day we're having honey roasted carrots and parsnips. Could my little g...

Does you lo have this? We have given her one that we can add all sorts to. Some days it has small pieces of chocolate other days mini figures or will give a new book. But is it too young to be giving 2.5 year old a square or two of chocolate every day at this age? We did low sugar for 2 years and have increased choc...

Are any of you mamas experiencing your child eating less because they’re eating more solids? For example she had a good breakfast today. Eggs, sausage and pancakes. But she won’t eat anything else. We’ve been trying to feed her all day! Nothing’s wrong with her. She’s just either really full or being difficult lol

My son is coming up to 6 months, and I don’t have a clue about weaning. I don’t know if I should pay for a course to gain knowledge and advice… Do any of you mommas have any advice and information? My health visitor just gave me a very basic leaflet that doesn’t really help. I want to ensure I’m giving my son the ...

Is anyone else’s 1 year old having a food regression? My one year old won’t eat at all all he wants to do is drink milk and not eat. Any recommendations on what I can do?

At how many months are you introducing meat/chicken/eggs to your baby?

She takes a few bites or she throws it on the floor. She used to like so many foods now she doesn’t have much of an appetite? Is this normal?

I want to give my little one a roast dinner on Christmas day but i know they’re not meant to have salt. Do you think this reduced salt one will be fine to give her? (Just a little on her chicken)

Anyone else’s 10 month old wants real food more than milk? My daughter will only drink milk when she wakes up but doesn’t want it for the rest of the day so we give her regular food. And she’ll literally eat all of it. Before and after pics in the comments

Gave my son some banana for dinner the other night. He’s a huge fan. Avocado is on the menu today. Honestly he’s so eager to eat it’s insane, my daughter wasn’t as interested.

Google says to avoid mince pies that contain alcohol. I’d already eaten a mini one by the time I read this. Should I be concerned? 😫

One of my NY resolutions is to cook more food for my kids instead of using packaged foods for breakfast/lunch because it’s easier. What kinds of things do your kids enjoy eating? Recipes for meals or snacks? Doesn’t have to be complicated just something made with “real” food instead of lunchables and uncrustables 😂

My son is 18 weeks (4 months) and can sit up unaided. He watches us eat with fascination and reaches out for food. Would you begin weaning? (If you say no because of research about later-in-life issues, please include a SOURCE!) 😊

I’ve started weaning. We had a blip with sickness and then force syringe medication. Since then my baby is opting more for the whole foods than puree. So I’m now forced to BLW. On TikTok mums are making whole meals for 6 month year olds and the plates are finished. But my little one is eating a teaspoon. Is this n...

Hey my little girl turns 6 months tomorrow !! she is soooo ready for food , and my plan from the beginning has been to baby led wean. I’m a first time mum and my insta fyp keeps coming up with vids of choking and what to do etc so my anxiety has been built up massively 😅 I still really want to go ahead with it…
