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…

Anyone else? He was fine then all of sudden it’s a screaming match to get him to sit and eat his meal… I end up giving in and take him out but feeling like I’m going to make a habit out of it

Making all the preparations to start weaning and feeling very stressed! 😩 I think I should just start and we’ll work out a routine once we get the hang of it. What meal times are good to start with? My partner has left for work when we’re still asleep and comes home in the evening. The evenings already seem…

Has anyone given curry to their baby yet? I'm making a mild chicken curry for mine and my husbands dinner and wondered if it would be ok to give to my baby? Also if you give rice is it OK to give it as normal or do you blend it? Sorry if silly questions

I want to introduce wheat as I’m slowly trying to tick off the main allergens but we are not BLW so toast is out of the picture. How should I introduce it? I saw I can do it via porridge but can someone recommend a good porridge brand they used? My baby has CMPA so it can’t contain any milk. Thank you x

Hey mamas! My little girl is 2 weeks away from turning 6 months and she’s showing me so many signs that she’s ready for some food! I just wanna try some little tastes with her atm, like some porridge in the mornings and maybe introducing some veggies, do I give her little sips of cool boiled water with her food at ...

My nearly 11 year old BMI is only 14.8 - should I be worried? She’s on 4th percentile and last year was on 14th. I try to get her to eat as much as possible and she has a varied diet but she is naturally slim and has a fast metabolism!! 😬

Hi guys I’m in need of some Inspo what are your favourite meals to give to your little one? He’s currently on 1 meal a day plus snacks but will be upping it to 2 this week. All the pics and recipes below please 🙏

I’m really struggling with my little one with dinner times. What can I feed him ? He’s one but I just struggle so much with what I’m allowed to cook him and what he can have and can’t have. What do you give your little ones at night time ?

Do you still hand/spoon feeding your LO? My LB of course has finger foods to pick up and eat himself, but I find if I don’t feed him myself at the same time, not much (if any!) gets eaten. Thoughts on this? Should I stop and let him do it himself completely?

I don’t even eat much anymore and if I do- I’m just cooking for this little man and I’m irritable - cuz he won’t eat anything I cook …y less it’s sweet - it’s like I make food he tears up one night and the next day gags or straight refuses to eat ( - EX: hot dogs, ham fried rice, chicken sausage, casseroles, etc). ...

A. Snack all day, better than not eating anything B. It’s whatever I served for mealtimes and snack time or nothing. Chocolate, cookies and chips aren’t an option.

Tried mixing it with water, tried to let her do it herself and even bribed with a treat afterwards all of these things didn’t work. We managed to have her lay on her back with my legs over her arms to syringe it in mouth but literally spits it all out. She’s not eating much at the moment due to her being so poorly, ...

My husband always get me a treat but it’s never the flavor I actually like. For example he’ll get me cookies and cream ice cream but my fav is cookie dough.

Hi all, Can people please give a run down of how they're doing weaning I've done a week of purees - and want to start incorporating finger food this week Just feeling abit unconfident on where to start.
