Hi ladies! I feel a bit disappointed in myself as a mum that my boy turned out to be picky with food and only weighs 12kg at 3 yrs old 😭 how are your toddlers doing? He used to eat literally every single thing i give him as a baby and then he turned 1 and went downhill from then on. I feel like a failure 😣

Is anybody's toddler a picky eater? Mind is very picky. Even the school has said he doesn't eat a lot. He does have a big cousin he will eat with or even take her food when she turn her back 😂. I just worry so much. His pediatrician isn't concerned because he is gaining the necessary weight.

Is anyone else’s 18month old just not eating ATM, I have seen a couple of tick-tock’s and apparently they do go through a fussy stage around now.. anyone else having this problem atm? Xx

Has anyone else really struggled with weaning? I initially went down the puree route due to fear of choking but weren’t very sucessful so we are now trying BLW. The little guy just turned 7 months and puts everything in his mouth apart from food. You put him in his highchair and have food in front of him, he won’t t...

Anyone else really struggling with weaning? We tried puree for a month ish, not the most consistent each day and he just didn’t like them. We’ve now moved to baby lead weaning now he’s turned 7 months and he’s just not having it. You put food and a toy in front of him he will only go for the toy. He will put everyth...

Hi, so I'm vegetarian and my child eats vegetarian at home with us. At nursery we have said that we are open to him having some meat as we don't want to limit him and we know that there are some benefits etc. My boy is nearly a year old and can be particular so I'm happy whenever food goes in. Anyway my partner me...

Ok so I’m wondering if anyone else’s little one is still on jars etc? If not what are you guys feeding your little ones when out and about? X

So we are blw and puree doing a mixture of both (I enjoy feeding him & having that’s connection) but I want to start going out with him and my partner Do you order from menu for baby or take own food

Hello! At what point do we increase to two or 3 meals a day? My little one is 6 months and were just doing dinner at the moment… is this enough?!

My little girl is 6 months on 30th January however I’m going to start weaning her on Monday (checked with HV who has agreed it’s time) anyone else weaning earlier than 6 months? I’m making my own purées, do you reckon a smoothie blender will be okay to blitz it down? I don’t want to have to buy another gadget if I ...

I see conflicting advice, some say one meal a day some say 2? I want to do a mix of BLW abs purée so she’s still eating, but has time to learn / try to eat the solid, don’t know where to start. Are like dessert / pouches ok if you are out and about or the odd jar for emergencies as also see conflicting? TIA

So all of a sudden my little boy is HYSTERICAL in the chair high at meal times. Grabbing for me, crying. Won’t try and feed himself (he used to) - rejecting most foods. It’s absolutely awful! Is this a phase anyone else’s baby is going through? Thanks ladies x

I combi feed but when I hold my son he always shows hunger cues (because he can smell me) but if I give him to my partner right after without feeding him first he doesn’t show those hunger cues. My son has just turned 5 weeks. BF mums is this normal? I think he’s quite attached to the boob, which i’m very thankful f...

My daughter refuses pasta sauce, cheese, yogurt, and milk… and I’ve tried to enhance dairy products in so many ways. How do you dress up dairy products for your little one? What are meals you can recommend that have calcium but are not dairy forward? She will be 2 years old in a week and my last day breastfeeding ...
