My little one (9m) prefer solid food but would quick recipes ideally can make in advance as wakes up and wants breakfast instantly. He is fed up of oats/weetabix and I fed up making banana pancakes and it's not always practical in morning especially when I return to work soon.

Hi all, I have an 11 month old and he’s got very poorly since yesterday he’s refusing bottles and I’m worried about fluids. Any ideas for foods for him that he might like? He’s had strawberry puree and yoghurt and an egg so far today and some kiwi.

Really at my wits end. Baby won't have any kind of solids. She is only having formula milk. Don't know what to do. We reduced milk offering and she is losing weight now as she still won't have solids. Tried sweet salty mashed purees finger foods. Tried eating in front of her. She won't feed herself and will take one...

Hey guys, my 8.5 month old hardly eats. I’ve tried purées, baby led, pouches, homemade. He’s not bothered. He either spits it out or throws up after the tiniest mouthful (seems to hate texture) and won’t drink water. Still having lots of bottles obviously. Any advice much appreciated x

Hi! I have a 22 month old that is not easy to please in the food department. I consistently give him new options, veggies, fruits and all the things. I give him what I eat. He typically will only eat the same thing and it’s never a veggie no matter how much I try. I spend a lot of time doing new toddler friendl...

Mine used to feed himself a bit but i got into the habit of hand feeding him and now he won’t feed himself independently. I’m worried I won’t be able to reverse this behavior.. please help

Question for moms who started solids before baby was six months and/or before they were sitting up. Even though recent pediatric guidelines say to wait until 6 months or signs of readiness (sitting, interest, etc), I see a lot of mom starting solids SO early like even four months. My question is: WHY? I ask because ...

My little girls 7 months old and I’m gonna take pouches but do you let your lo’s have meals or nibbles from restaurants with you or is that a hard no? First time mum and first holiday so clueless on if that’s the norm? Say a small portion of fries and request no salt? Or chicken?

My LO is an awful eater. Has been for about a year now and it sucks! He is full time at nursery and they say he eats really well (assuming it’s monkey see monkey do type situation). I am getting so frustrated with it all though. Seeing other kids eat when we go out and mine opting for blueberries or chips only 😩 we…

Up until now, the food mess has been fairly minimal but now that she wants to feed herself more and play with the food, there’s mess everywhere. We’re using a wearable bib and a silicone one with the curved bottom. How is everyone dealing with each meal? Do you have multiple wearable bibs and constantly wash them? T...
