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...

Could I have some inspiration for introducing eggs to my almost 7 month old ☺️

So we rotate breakfast options every morning to keep it exciting. My boy is such a good eater we are very lucky. However I'm confused about how much I should be giving him because no matter how much I give him he screams when it's gone. Surely 8 tablespoons of porridge is too much?!

Are you guys giving your baby the whole jar once a day? Or just half

At my wits end. My 2 year old refuses to eat food we give him (besides his favorites). We can’t get him to try anything. Or even eat foods he has eaten before. My husband says we need to stop giving in, and if he doesn’t eat at least a bite of what we are offering he doesn’t get anything else. Even if that means he ...

Anyone else anxious to start their baby on solids? I have so much anxiety and I feel so overwhelmed with the thought of it.

my daughter has figured out how to take the tops off or undo all holders and toppers. i have tried the munchkin snack catcher, the 360 rotation bowl, the squeeze proof pouch holder, and the food pouch topper. any ideas for things that are actually toddler proof?

Does anyone else’s 6-7 month old baby absolutely hate baby food? My LO is definitely interested in our food but when I try to give her purees or solids (that are safe for her) she has no interest and will even gag… I never thought a baby could gag so dramatically you would think I was feeding her horrific food. She ...

My 6 month old twins seem to be spitting out any type of purees food etc. i did have some luck with some wosits type of snack even then they were just licking them and it was just melting. They dont seem to be intrested in any sort of foods. Is this normal, my 22 month old was very quick i had no issues with him in ...

for the past 2 days my son’s daycare have been telling us he’s been refusing his lunch which is odd because he hasn’t shown this behavior at home. i’m not sure if it’s a developmental change or he’s just going through a phase but this isn’t like him. he’s 15 months, 16 saturday. anyone else experienced this?

Send help 🫠 toddler is currently only eating select fruits and vegetables and yogurt. Refusing all pastas, meats/fish, anything new/unfamiliar is completely off the table. Won’t even touch chicken nuggets when they were his favourite previously!

Hello Beautiful Mommas, My 18months old started refusing all the foods he loves eating all at the same time. Could this be teething issues or what please? Is anyone else experiencing this at the moment? What do you advise? Also, please I would like to know what other drinks you offer your toddlers aside water and...

My LO has never been a big or good eater. We struggled to wean, with textures and took us a really long time to get to the point I could say she was enjoying food. Up until last week, she was having a full meal for dinner, fruit, yogurt and a little dessert. This lasted about a month. She got chicken pox last week...

My daughter who is 7 years old is a really picky eater. She possibly has autism (being assessed) she lives off jacket potatoes and tuna she also lives off any vegetables but refuses to eat anything else. I’ve tried buying her vegetarian meats, different types of fish. I’ve tried everything I can think of and she r...

So I see moms cut their baby’s toast, omlette, fruits, and veggies in longer pieces right.. but how does that prevent choking? Am I crazy for being nervous? He doesn’t have teeth almost 6mo, so how is he going to chew? I gave him a large kiwi circle the other day and he basically tried to inhale the whole piece

What sort of things are you giving baby for lunch? We always give a hot meal at dinner time either puree or the same as what we eat. For lunch we usually give toast and try some fruit or carrot sticks but I’m looking for inspiration! Also he’s going to be going to grandparents while I’m back at work next month and...
