My daughter is 11 years old … she always loved sugary foods and I always tried to minimise her consumption on this. I have used different ways to tackle this over the years including hiding them or directly say no to them until last few years (roughly 3 years) I decided to just buy less amounts and allow her to eat ...

What drinks do you give toddlers? I feel like I always give water and oj occasionally but want to give other alternatives…

Please help me. Please don’t judge. My 13 year old son hit me today. This is the second time he’s done this. The first time he was being punished and wouldn’t hand over his phone. I went to take it and he shoved me hard. Tonight it was over tasty cakes. He came inside as I was starting dinner and said he was hung...

Ok so I got into an awkward situation on here today. Everyone around me talks about babies being so cute that they’re “edible.” For example, so cute I can eat him up. Or, I’m gonna bite her cheeks Or, I’m gonna gobble her up Obviously no one intends to eat the baby, it’s a phrase a lot of people use but apparentl...

Is that too soon and will affect baby? Just wondering

Bless her she’s just come down stairs and said I hope I’ve not upset you mum it’s just what I’ve noticed at work , me personally I’m happy for abit of info from her, it just made me wounder so thought I’d ask x

What goes best with cottage cheese? (Looking for some ideas to give to my little one- leave in comments!)

We started introducing foods to our little boy this week! He’s 6.5 months old. He’s getting on pretty well with a combination of BLW spoon feeding. Sweet potato, butternut squash, broccoli, cucumber, mashed carrot, yoghurt, baby porridge. Has anyone found a better time of day works for trying food with their little...

My 20 month old is super picky. She was evaluated at feeding therapy and she said she has no concerns for her eating. She is delayed in her speech. She said she should be saying 10 words by now and she only says 3 so we'll be doing speech therapy here soon. For now I need some ideas on how to make what my toddler wi...

my little boy had his 1 year injections 3 weeks ago now and still hasn’t got his appetite back since having them. He was mostly on formula still as is a bit weird with food but is currently having less than 10 oz a day and still only eating a few mouthfuls of food a day? Has anyone else had anything similar happen

15 weeks pregnant and thinking of meals that sound good is getting hard to do. Let me know what your favorite meals are currently. Thanks :)

I asked the husband (rare occasion) to feed LG dinner, I prepped the food and handed it to him whilst I cook. He gave her a few spoonfuls and gave up as she was refusing. When I'd asked how he fed her, he hasn't put her in her highchair (which she's used to and knows its mealtime) and he was feeding her in his lap...

My daughter is so picky, sometimes she eats biscuit for dinner.

We’ve been taking it quite slow with introducing different textures of food while BLW . I have left rice and pasta last because I have no clue where to start. How did you introduce them to baby?

Hi moms! My (FTM here) little one is 5 months old so I was thinking about starting to introduce foods but I’m feeling completely lost and a bit nervous on how to go about doing this? Our pediatrician okayed starting to introduce foods in a 1 new food every 3-5 days ratio. I was just wondering how some of you are goi...

Would you ask nursery if your lo always returns home without her cutlery in her lunch bag? I feel it’s weird to ask them lol Someone might say it’s just a cutlery just get them another 😁 Opinions are welcomed TIA

He watches me eat and if I pretend to hand him some he flails his arms bc he can’t even reach for things yet. But excited to have a fellow foodie soon!!

Hi everyone! For those whose LO’s are at nursery during the day and eat a lot, what do you do for dinner times? My LO eats his lunch at midday and then a tea at around 4, I try to then make a normal dinner at around half 5 but I am finding he rarely eats/throws it on the floor 🫠 So wonder if I should just do snacky…
