Just wondering what others children are like at this age. A typical days food for my daughter (what she actually eats off her plate, I obviously give her more than this) Breakfast - half a banana & mouthful of scrambled eggs Lunch - lots of plain pasta, few bites of chicken, cucumber Dinner - lots of rice, couple...

Hi girls. Just a query about the Ella’s kitchen / various other brands baby pouches. It says they’re organic and in the ingredients list all they apparently contain is the veg/fruit etc but how healthy for babies are they in comparison to cooking fresh from scratch? Cause if I was to mush up fruit and stick it in an...

What is everyone feeding their little ones for lunch, I need like a quick easy everyday lunch ideas. He has proper teas

My son can eat anything but the issue im having is he is extremely extremely picky.. to the point I have a binder with his likes and dislikes.

What's your little ones favourite finger foods? Just want to see if there's anything we haven't tried yet! X

What’s everyone’s routine look like with feeding their little ones? I’ve just decided to drop one of her bottles today and try her with 3 meals and 3 bottles as she’s leaving more and more milk but demolishes her two meals everyday!

Really struggling with breakfast for my 8month old. He refuses porridge, weetabix & eggs. I've tried various French toast recipes but again not interested. The only food I can get him to consistently eat is yoghurt, fruit & banana pancakes but I feel like I need to be offering some diversity in his diet! I'd welcome...

What’s everyone doing for the meals during the day? I’m stuck with lunch ideas and a bit too nervous to do solids. We do either an Ella’s kitchen pouch for dinner or homemade blended dinner depending what we’ve done/got and breakfasts we do baby porridge, but just stuck on what people do for lunches that’s not solid...

I’m starting to get so stressed out. My 18 month old seems to be always teething and randomly food striking but right now more than ever. Throwing food, rejecting everything. They are cutting their molars and got their first ever fever today. It broke quick but my gosh I’m nervous. I can only get them to eat pouch...

We started purees at 5 months, and blw at 6. Now she is 7 months and doing a little bit of both. Absolutely loves anything with sweet potato. Tonight's dinner puree of chicken, broccoli and sweet potato and banana bread crumbs with veggie cheese puffs ☺️

What are some favorite easy to freeze dishes? My parents will be here as well, but I’d like to stock up on some basic meals.

Looking for breakfast and lunch recommendations for my almost 2 year old? I feel like she’s getting bored of what I am offering☹️ Usually do cereal for breakfast as I like to save bread for lunch time!

I’m at a total loss with my little girl, I absolutely dread mealtimes because I know whatever I cook no matter how much effort I put in my little one just takes one look and refuses. I’m pretty certain she’s surviving on yoghurts and cereal at the moment it’s the only things she will eat. I’ve tried introducing her ...

My baby girl is 5.5 months so wanted to start preparing her for solids. I’m exclusively breastfeeding right now. Any ideas of what I need to get, particular brands to go for/ avoid? Also would I need to pump to add milk to the purées?

And how long did you wait before introducing another meal?

Is anyone else struggling to get much food into their babies? We started with puréed foods and our baby girl took to them amazingly, I was so pleased. Now she’s going crazy and cry’s over the spoons, wants to play and I’m struggling to get much in without her eventually crying. So I thought I’d move to baby led wean...

Hi, please can someone tell me something easy/no expensive to puree baby food? I’m using a good chopper that is suppose to do it but don’t think it’s smooth enough x
