Finger foods

Just a bit of advice/guidance please. My 6 month old has porridge for breakfast and has pureed food for dinner. He loves his food and I have no worries. Is he too young to start finger foods, and if not, what can I give him? I am absolutely terrified of him choking and planning to book a baby first aid course purely...

Am I in the wrong?

Rice for Baby

Hey all! My baby loves to eat rice so I gave her some of my leftover rice while I was eating lunch without even thinking about it. Then my brain remembered that leftover rice has risks for bacteria growth. The rice was left out for at least an hour or two yesterday before I put it in the fridge. Now I’m freaking out...

My little boy is 14 months how long can he go without eating?

The last 3 days all he’s had his weetabix in the morning (kept it down). He is drinking now and again but not as much as normal. He’s throwing everything else up he eats even if it’s a yogurt. He’s now refusing to eat completely. Do I take him to be seen? He’s fine in himself. His naps in the days are longer he’s be...
