My 16m old doesn’t like chicken & beef

So my LO has never liked chicken, beef he will eat things like fish, mince meat but other then that not much. He will eat everything on his plate apart from the chicken or beef. I e tried serving it different ways and still no. Should I be worried like he’s not getting the good stuff from the chicken and beef as it says they are good foods to serve eat. He eats most fruit and vegg and a lot of different food selections it’s just when it comes down to chicken and beef he point blank refuses.

You’ll be completely fine if he doesn’t have those two. He’ll still get nutrients from the bits he does eat

Fish and minced meat is his protein so it’s fine. My 18month old is worse. He’ll spit out any meat or fish unless it’s shredded in a soup or little pieces mixed in potato or rice.

Mine doesn’t like eggs. You can try lentils and beans, yogurt as well. Anything rich in protein.

thank you I was more worried and should of mentioned because he has a egg allergy that he wasn’t gonna get enough protein etc but he does eat mostly everything else x

I might try that idea mixing it in potato’s, rice etc I didn’t think about that thank you!

If I boil chicken til it’s super soft I take a bit of broth and chicken and blend it together to make a purée and then to this I can add in cooked rice or diced veggies like carrots potatoes broccoli butternut whatever you have or like and that way baby gets veggies meat broth grains..

Mama needs new friends ✨

Hey mamas 🤍 I'm going to be honest — I'm at a season in my life where I'm craving real, genuine friendship. The kind where we actually check on each other. Where conversations go both ways. Where we can laugh, vent, cry, and just *be* without it feeling one-sided.

I'm a stay at home mom of 6 (yes, 6! 👏🏼) and my days are full but my cup feels a little empty in the friendship department. I'm looking for women who get it — the chaos, the beauty, the exhaustion, all of it.

If you're a mom who values deep, reciprocal friendship and you're also out here looking for your people — drop a 👋 below. Let's actually get to know each other. 🤍

Leaving your baby

Has anyone else not left their baby to be looked after by someone else (not dad) yet? I still don't feel ready but am being told I should be by now

Random but when you use a vibrator do you need to hold your lips open for it to touch the bean ?

It gets annoying because even if I open my legs I still need to hold the lips open to touch the bean and I have to do it the entire time my lips are literally sealed closed 🤣
