Anyone else's child really fussy with dinner? Is this a phase? Feels like a long one. Any tips?

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...

For my 10m old 😊

What are some basic groceries you would get with having a two year old ! Lmk :)

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…

I just find it crazy that our 7 month old has been given 4 Easter eggs by our family! We’ve only been weaning him for 1 month and is no way ready or are we wanting to feed him chocolate!

My 11mo still doesn’t eat anything! I’ve been tried since he turned 6mo and we went through a phase where he’d open his mouth but that was short lived. I honestly don’t know what to do - he doesn’t even open his mouth to try the food, let alone get the food in his body. I’ve been to the peads dieting team at hospi...

Just preparing for weaning and I’m thinking of starting with lunch however, I’m out a lot at lunchtime and I’m wondering what people do when they’re out and about when weaning and baby needs feeding? I may be overthinking this as a FTM but I was thinking of mixing BLW and puree so I don’t think I could store and car...

I'm finding this part of the journey so hard. I offer breakfast, lunch, dinner at all different times of the day and make different things for him to try and he just doesn't try anything. I have tried pouches, purees and BLW and nothing my HV is a waste of space and offered no advice expect she would put my name dow...

Can anyone let me know some snack ideas for little ones? My LB is 15 months old and eats anything. I’m really not a cook or baker and making anything more than a sandwich stresses me out (I blame my mother and also lack of creativity. I have to use a recipe EXACTLY otherwise I panic). I give fruit and buy like the o...
