My little boy is 18 months now. I am struggling to say the least. I can't find anything that he wants to eat. I've tried literally everything I can think of. I've been on every site available. He's happy he's friendly. He's loving but oh my God I cannot get him to eat. What am I doing wrong here?

I can't get my 22 month old to eat much. Besides snacks, carbs, fruits he barely eats.. protein is always spit out and I'm struggling. Tonight I allowed him to have cereal for dinner because he needs to eat or he'll be up multiple times a night looking for milk (trying to wean). Any advice? I worry so much about mak...

My son can’t hold still when we are out at a restaurant. He can barely hold still while eating in a high chair and when he’s done eating he starts getting fussy. I typically bring toys but he just throws them on the ground. When he gets fussy or antsy I have to step out of the restaurant and let him walk around 😓.…

My Lo is 1.5 and is still 21.4 pounds. He eats well but is a picky eater so sometimes it’s hard to get things like veggies in him. Just wanting to know if anyone else’s LO is this weight but also really healthy. My ped said it’s ok but definitely need him to gain some more weight.

When we started our weaning journey we offered lots of varieties of food and she’s been doing really well. Lately, she fusses with her dinner unless it’s pasta. She turns her nose up at other food aside from pasta. I mean I love pasta but I can’t give it to her everyday. Anyone else struggled with their LO sudde...

Taking my LO away next month she will be 11 months and I'm stressing a bit about the food. Not so much breakfast as she can have eggs, fruit, yoghurt, porridge etc. But what do you guys do for the lunch and dinner. Do you recommend taking pouches (she doesn't normally eat pouches) but I'm thinking to take some as I'...

My son is nearly 16 weeks. I’ve seen a few baby foods that say 4+ months on them. He’s on 7oz of formula and sometimes 1oz of breast milk extra. I’ve brought some baby porridge that says 4-6 months. Is it ok to start him on it? He seems hungry all the time. He’s a big boy almost 15lbs. He’s constantly watching us ea...

We started weaning at 6 months, started with purrees and finger foods. I wanted to do a mix of baby led and also spoon feeding. It’s gone a lot slower than I expected- baby now 8 months and used spoon as a teether most of the time. She likes to pick up and eat the finger foods but she ends up taking lots in not b...

He has cows milk still at night and sometimes during the day…what do I do in regards to this when we are over there, will they have there own one that he can have or is he going to have...

My little boy is 6-month today and his paediatrician said he could start solids when he's 5 months due to eczema. He takes puree/ mash on a spoon with no issue. However I tried offering his sweet potato strips today and he just kept hitting the plate and unable to how it at all. Has this happened with anyone's baby?...

I am really struggling with weening, my son chokes on everything it seems, if it's really soft it might be the texture, I have to give him the tiniest pieces, and then after a while I think he's ok to have bigger bits, he then chokes and sicks up everythnig he has had then won't have anymore. I get really frustrate...

He’s 6 months old on Sunday but doesn’t have teeth yet. Have tried some baby rice, purées, broccoli so far, is it ok to give him some of this or wait until he can chew? I made some homemade chicken stock cubes so thought I could cook it in that until really soft but not sure if it’ll be ok for his tummy if he swallo...

I have worked hard to help my 3 yo know his body and appetite and also i do restrict sugary foods But yesterday i wanted to see how he does by himself when i gave him lunch, then chocolate nuts then a whole easter egg… he threw up and i feel so guilty. I saw him trying to regulate his intake of the last big choc eg...

Has anyone's 18 month old started refusing food or not eating as much? It's becoming such a challenge, she will suddenly happily snack or have bits of my food even if it's the same as hers but not eat her own

I’m a FTM and my baby girl is 5 months old and ready for solids as recommend by my GP.I was wondering if there is guidelines or feeding schedule(amount of food) I should follow as I’m completely clueless where to even begin, any helpful advice will be much appreciated. TIA

My LO is 3 and is allergic to fish, nuts and eggs. I’m worried that she’s not having the vitamins or nutrients that she needs and would get from these 3 vital food😭😭 what can I use to substitute? Supplements? Tried vegetables but it’s not anything close to the actual thing? Please she refuses to eat them 90% of the…
