My 3 year old has been asking to me to eat more food after only 20mins of eating and let’s just say he eats big boy plates and some how isn’t full I need some advice to get him full without over feeding as he is still so little

Looking for an opinion! Not Mommy or baby related... Just don't have any friends to ask or vent to. So my boyfriend, myself and our newborn live together and my 9 year old is with her dad this week. We've been very strapped for cash lately and kind of have this schedule where we hardly eat during the week that my ol...

Im due to start weaning my boy next month and honestly im petrified but not sure if im thinking too much into it. Where do i even start, I copied a weaning chart from tiktok.

My ebf 6.5 mo hates any food that’s not breast milk. We have been doing purées since he doesn’t have a tooth yet for blw and our pediatrician recommended just doing purées. We’ve tried mashed potatoes, green beans, sweet potatoes, oatmeal etc, some mixed w breast milk and some without. He’s just gags, makes a sour f...

Is anyone only giving jars at mealtimes? I feel bad but this is all I have capacity for at lunch and dinner times right now. Sometimes I make baby different pancakes/ fritters/ fruit/ veg and snacks like rice cakes but I feel like the only thing she actually swallows a lot of is jars. Help! P.S. she has porridge for...

We eat with ...

I’m a mum of a toddler (and a protein shake lover), and I’ve been developing a healthy, vegan, toddler-friendly protein milkshake. It’s designed to be clean-label, allergy-safe, and actually fun for kids to drink — no fillers, no fuss. Just Little Gains™. Would love to hear your thoughts below — your input means t...

It’s been recommended that 4 month old starts baby rice. He’s a very hungry baby and already in 12 month clothing. I’m a little worried to start baby rice though. I know nhs say 6 months but two health professionals have recommended it now

My toddler loves bananas and then she has her moments where she loves raspberries! Just curious to hear what everyone answer is.

My sweet girl is 9mos. And already very independent. She doesn’t like to be fed by spoon or hand anymore than the first maybe two-three bites. She wants to feed herself! And it’s always a messy disaster. It’s cute, don’t get me wrong. But the clean up is such a project every time. Has anyone figured out how to make ...

Are you able to share what you give your child for packed lunch for nursery each day. The nursery offer fruit and veg as snacks throughout the day so don't really want to pack more fruit. But without it his packed lunch seems so empty. Just after some inspo and feel like he eats the same thing every day and has no ...

I’m looking for a steamer and blender to start weaning my daughter. Does anyone have any recommendations?

My 3.5 year old is a fussy eater. I’m concerned as he is only 12 kg, he won’t eat the food on the plate and often just spits it or throws the plate. I really don’t know how to feed him or what to do with him. He will happily eat junk but that’s not the way to move forward. He barely finishes his food at nursery it...
