Anyone’s little one just not interested in food and never really has been? At the minute she does have a cold so she literally won’t eat anything soon as you put it near her she turns her head away still drinking milk as normal. Worried because from a year meals are supposed to be their main nutrition my health vi...

Is anybody else’s baby devouring food like there’s no tomorrow? My little girl is absolutely loving trying new foods and different textures😄

Every morning my son (26 month old) has a cup of milk with his breakfast which he asks for but doesn’t finish the whole cup and I end up chucking it because it will just curdle. So I wash the cup out and give him either water or juice , but he will just sip it and not often enough. I have tried different juices thin...

So my baby girl was born May 1st so Dec 1st she’ll be 7 months. She absolutely refuses refuses any solids. I can barely get one spoon of a taste. I’ve tried: sweet potatos, squash, peas, banana, avocado, apples, mango, banana in puree form. I’ve also given her bites of food to self feed to see if she’d rather and sh...

What meals do you give your baby? Struggling for ideas and dont want to do processed prepackaged foods

I want to start eating healthier and have been looking at meal plans on google but I’m sick a picky eater. Can anyone give me ideas for breakfast, lunch and tea that are also kid friendly. We use gousto for tea which I’m under the impression is relatively healthy but the meat from there recently, more specifically t...

I have been making most of my baby’s purées. Now that he is almost 7 months old, WIC is offering purée baby’s foods which I didn’t know. Does anyone get Wic and know which baby foods are best for baby? What do you use? Should I just keep puréing my own? What are you feeding your baby?!

Help! My son who is 22 months old can’t sit down for more than a minute to eat before leaving the chair and roaming around to go play. So he’s been eating so much less the past few weeks and we absolutely don’t enjoy the meal time (and I hate cooking for him now). How do you go through these emotions and still cook ...

Ok to give baby mcdonalds for his 1st birthday? What would you order?

I am seeing so much conflicting advice on weaning. What age to start at, what foods to start with. And it is becoming very confusing. I have seen people say to start weaning from 4 months but others say not to start until 6 months. Is there any foods that they are not allowed until certain ages or better ones to sta...

I just gave my baby some of the Heinz chocolate pudding & about 4 spoonfuls she was sick what the hell could this have been?

Is anyone else’s 21 months old keep on asking for food? He always has been a good eater (not too fussy, good appetite) but lately I feel like he is constantly asking for food. He has three meals, a bit of milk twice a day plus snacks, fruit etc… I feel like he mostly does it in the morning as he is “getting ready” t...

My baby is 6 1/2 months and started weaning 3 weeks ago. He’s having purées atm and he has some foods he absolutely loves but most he refuses. I try to mix his favs with new foods (very small amounts) but he still refuses it even though it’s his fav food. It’s so frustrating most of the time he has 1 spoon and then ...

Anyone else having a good refusal phase with their little ones. My little one is 10 months old and was eating and finishing all the food and suddenly one afternoon she stopped and now is a struggle every meal to feed her. Feeling so upset she’ll loose weight

Hi all, my little one is 7months now, we started weaning just before 6 months. He was doing so well with using the spoon himself, putting in his mouth and eating the foods. Now all he wants to do is bang the spoon on the high chair and barely touches anything. He won’t allow me to feed him with the spoon as he...

My little girl has hand foot and mouth and it's so brutal 😭 any tips on keeping them happy!? She's also completely off all food 😔

Good Morning Mummies, Can you all please share your food/bottle schedule with you 8month olds. I just want to make sure I’m feeding/snacking enough or too little. Thank you

What do your babies eat? I do a mix of the baby foods (chunky texture) & normal foods, anxious about him choking or he just throws it on the floor or shoves it all in his mouth 🤣 so I do some spoon feeding so I know he's having some food throughout the day. Anyway, what do your little ones eat in a typical day? And…

My son has started rejecting his porridge in the mornings. He used to love it. He now cries when I give it to him. I’ve tried putting small amounts on his tray for him to get messy with (and then eat) as well but he hates it. How long do you try before you offer something else? I obviously want to put zero pressure ...

I feel so embarrassed, but my baby has had bad Constipation on and off for a few weeks and the GP said it could be because I'm not feeding her enough vegetables. I've been too scared to do baby led weaning so I rely on a lot of store bought ready made stuff. A typical day for us looks like: Breakfast - baby porri...
