My toddler goes to preschool and we’re struggling to come up with lunch options for him. Most days we pack a sandwich of some sort/nuggets, a veggie pouch, some fresh fruit and some yogurt but would love ideas on what else I can include. He won’t eat fresh veggies on his own (we have to supervise for him to finish a...

I'm running out of ideas for my 7 month old for breakfast. She seems to have gone off everything we give her. She's been having purees and porridge since she was 4 months and she's bored of everything, we've tried omelette and toast but she isn't interested after a few bites. Any advice would be much appreciated TIA

So my baby boy turned 6m on Sunday I had a lot of anxiety about weaning so to ease me into it we’ve started on the Ella’s kitchen pouches instead of BLW We’ve tried him on Carrot Parsnip and apple Blueberry banana and apple Also trying him on some water daily He just spits it out and looks disgusted My health ...

Hi everyone ! my little girl is 7 months now , we tried baby led weaning when she was 6 months but her teething was so bad that she wasn’t interested she only wanted pouches etc so now i’m thinking of starting again but doing a mix any meal suggestions ? she loved all fruit we tried her with last time!

Hello! My LO was born last day of April so we are sometimes a bit behind some on here age and progress wise. Over the last couple of weeks he has taken like a duck to water with weening and now has 3 meals a day - each time a food pouch and a yoghurt pouch. These are the Ella’s kitchen things from Aldi/Asda. However...

Did anyone just use the shop pouches/ jars for weaning. I’m a first time mum and not a very good cook. Fo they taste the same as home made? I don’t want no one to judge me.

My son is only 1 week old, tonight he hasn't been able to be settled. I've thought he was hungry because he kept knawing at his fist and fingers but when I go to feed him he would latch on for a few seconds and drink way to quick and make himself cough and spit up. Before tonight when I would give him a Pacifier he ...

My son is 12 months old, and his height is at the 2nd percentile. We’re really worried—has anyone else gone through similar issues? He doesn’t eat very much, around 25 oz of formula per day. The doctor recommended we add PediaSure and cow’s milk + keep feeding him solids.

We’ve been away for the last week and I swear all he’s ate is pizza, chicken nuggets and chips. (Was all inclusive) Pizza and chips were fried but it’s ALL he would eat and now I feel bad I allowed him to eat that much bad stuff😔

How much is your 2 week old eating? My son is already eating 4 OUNCES like hello? Someone send help 😭

My baby drinks like 20oz milk but food is a hit or miss as far as I know it’s normal but it stresses me out cus sometimes I have to try offering different foods until she likes something. It depends on the day and her mood as well. She’s going with a new baby sitter soon and I have to pack her breakfast and lunch. I...

I’m getting so stressed because my 18 month old has suddenly stopped eating she was a fairly good eater, she’s been eating less and less for a couple of weeks and has now stopped completely and will only eat a biscuit. I’ve tried so many things like offering a safe food or her favourites, distraction methods, making...

Would this be okay to give to my almost 7 month old? I want to mash a banana up and add it in for extra flavour Would I also be able to mix it with her formula or would it have to be cows milk (tested the allergy and she’s fine with milk)

My baby is 8mth he was doing so well with food mashed and now constantly keeps spitting it out now he is also so bad with his bottles i just feel lost as to what to do any mums got any advice feel deflated 😭

So I just need cold food ideas for my “efficient” husband (who doesn’t even have time to waste on microwaving food). Ideally something that can just eat straight out of the container. If your recipe is a salad. It should be able to hold a dressing for a few days without getting soggy. Cause and I quote again “I don’...

Just wanted some advice really and to see if anyone else was in the same boat. My daughter is 16.5 months and is completely incapable of behaving or sitting nicely when we go out for a family meal, she just gets bored and wants to get up and run around. She never really eats when we’re out either (maybe due to the c...
