I’ve a3 year old who has always been a terrible eater but my little one is loving food but for some reason I’m always stuck on lunch! How big are you going, ...

I understand the goal is to get your baby off milk by 1 year old. I feel like this is gonna take my little boy a whole lot longer: (10month old baby) he’s on 3 meals a day but still spits his food out (I think that’s a phase) but yet still heavily relies on milk. (Atleast 3 a day!) any helpful tips? He normally wak...

We’re going camping beginning of June for 3 days, 2 nights and trying to figure out what to pack for meals to give my LO. He will be 11 months. I’m looking for any suggestions on either some meal prep or what some food ideas are to pack as we’ll have a cooler but I don’t want to pack things that may spoil if it’s su...

I’ve introduced purées to my almost 6 month old son but ever since I have, he hasn’t seem too interesting in drinking his bottle anymore. He only wants purées. I usually breast feed him and top him off with a bottle. He only drinks his bottle when he first wakes up and when he is going to sleep. Is this normal ? (ft...

My LO will be 11 months in a few days and is not into table foods. He will put some things to his mouth but will either spit it out or won’t try most things at all. He loved fruit based purées but is not liking the transition to table foods. I’m sure it’s a texture thing. I was advised to not offer him any more pur...

My LG isn’t bothered about breakfast how can I change this. She is 9 months old and iv tried porridge ( baby ones, oats and wheatbix) will only have a few spoons if that. Iv tried egg toast yogurt and fruit. She will again entertain a few spoons of yoghurt and put fruit to her mouth but mostly squish it. I just don’...

My husband doesn’t want to give out LO solids as much, but I have been trying to incorporate them in 3 meals a day. Am I wrong or is he right? She is almost a year…

Does anyone else have issues with their 2 year old not wanting to eat. I can get her to take a couple of bites at the most but she just shakes her head and says no. I feel awful

What can I give my 19 months old boy to add more weight,he was in care for 7months and has lost a lot of weight but now he’s back home and I want to get him to add weight but he’s a picky boy who hardly wants any normal food aside pouches and soft foods.

My son just got the approval for cereal at his 4 month appointment on Thursday. What has everyone used and how did they like it! First time mom so I’m weighing my options.

So I'm looking for some reassurance, baby just won't eat much at all. She will try things (pick up and taste) but isn't actually 'eating much' will end up clenching her fists and screaming/throwing on the floor. She won't let me feed her either and ive tried letting her feed herself with a spoon but it just ends up ...

My baby is 6.5 months old already and it looks like he hates solid food 😥 We started with baby cereal a couple weeks ago, sometimes he eats it just fine and sometimes refuses. We started with carrot puree on Friday and he ate it initially too, but he totally refused it today and cried hysterically which made me cry…

Is it okay if my 7m old goes without food for a day? he still gets his milk as primary. Usually he has solids/pureees 2x a day I’m slowly expanding it to 3x a day. But I am curious now that’s he used to eating solids will it be okay to go just one day without it and just have milk only

Hi do you feed you baby meat everyday? Do you give them gerber meats or actual meat? I’m a ftm n didn’t know it was important that they were eating meat and getting protein

Anyone else not allowed to put anything like crisps or cakes etc in packed lunch ?? Struggling to think of other things to put in my son’s lunch.

Just curious what your 8 month olds are eating in a day. Trying to move to adding more solids but don’t know how much formula to take out to compensate?

When I try & give my 10 month old food he’s at a phase where he will use his tongue to get it out his mouth. Is this normal? I know he likes the food as he’s had it several times before no problems.

Anyone else’s LO still having purée aswell as food? She had a phase of being really poorly, and in a desperate attempt to get something into her we gave her a fruit pouch, and she loves them. We’ve carried on giving her them, as if I gave her the same whole fruits she’s very fussy with them and most of it gets was...
