How many bottles is your 7month babies taking during the day? I’m finding it hard to get the solids/bottles ratio right. As one nearly puts him off the other. I don’t know whether to cut one of his bottles out or just stick to what I’m doing. He currently has solids every evening religiously but only some mornings w...

I feel like mine barely finishes half the Ella’s purée packets for each of the three meals (doesn’t matter the ingredients) and takes 3 x 200ml bottles of formula per day. He’s a 8kg boy. Would love to know how much baby boys are eating at his age. Thank you!

There was 50 percent chance that my 2 year old would eat it. She just dipped a spoon and said no... 🙄 so I ate her portion in the end and it was nice

I cannot get my LG to eat actual pieces of fruit, she will not even try it, just pushes it away 😫 Anyone have any tips and tricks that have worked?

Is anyone else having issues with meal times? She’s totally refusing to go in the high chair, and when I eventually DO get her in, she instantly stands up and turns around and tries climbing out! She doesn’t sit down or still to eat either so meal times are just not happening! Snacks she has no issue with but all th...

Time planning for food, is there a time routine for when you start feeding your baby purée foods? Like at breakfast, lunch, and dinner or just lunch time to start off? How do you plan to do this?

Fruit and veggie pouches if your toddler likes those how many do they eat in a day? Which ones do you buy?

I didn’t think my baby would go back to putting random objects in their mouth like when they were a newborn.

My son is 18 months and won’t stop sticking his fingers down his throat to make himself gag. I don’t know where this new obsession has come from but I’m seriously worried. What should I do?

What’s everyone’s opinion on starting your baby on puree? I’m not a fan of the baby led weaning as I’m not about to clean up all that mess🤣 but I’m wondering when’s a good time to start my baby on puree she’s sitting up nearly all alone but can sit up by her self leaning on something behind her back

This is night 2 basically, Not eating dinner. She ignores me and would rather pay attention to the tv. What do I do, not feed her for the night? She woke up looking for food in the night I’m so drained for meal times

My baby is 11 months and knows how to drink from straw. Is it okay to give her smoothies like just fruit and veggies ?

hi ladies, so my daughter is about to be 9 months and she’s on formula and baby purée food but i want her to expand a little more. what are you guys giving your babies? she’s not a fan of rice, blueberries, or eggs 😩

Baby will be 11 months on Saturday, he has been a great eater no problems at all. And now he is refusing to eat or barely eats anything. Is this a thing at this age? He is about to start walking though…could be he is more interested and focused on that? First time mum, no clue.

Can i give medium rare ?

Comment how much you’d be willing to spend including sizes so I can get an idea. ❤️

My girl was poorly a few weeks ago with hand foot and mouth, she had it so so bad! During that time she was off her food so I would feed her fruit and biscuits just to get something in her. I still offered usual main meals but she wouldn’t touch them. Fast forward to now and she’s back to her usual healthy self but ...

Are silicone plates and bowls really that bad? I’m not sure what to get my baby to start solids. (Plastic is bad. Bamboo are way too expensive. Ceramic can break easily.) 😣

Do you spoon feed your babies or do they pick up food and eat it themselves? My baby will hold things like muffins and pancakes, but won’t pickup eggs, rice, pasta, etc. He doesn’t eat any of it - just throws it in the floor. I’ve resorted to spoon feeding him to avoid the mess and waste and make sure he’s getti...
