What’s everyone giving their little ones for lunch when out on a day trip?

My daughter is naturally petite and short for her age. She is a snack monster! And isn’t particularly fussy but I’m just wondering if she eats enough for her age or should she be eating more. I’m fairly strict that if she asks for snacks before 10am it’s only fruit which luckily she loves. Today so far she’s had: Br...

My son is nearly 11 weeks and i have no idea what his hunger cues are any more! He recently learned how to chew his hands, so now i don’t know if it’s a hunger cue or just him practicing chewing them (he will do so even after a feed - so i know he does it even when he isn’t hungry). I am currently just feeding him...

Anyone else’s 12 month old still spoonfed the majority of the time she’ll have like a snacks like crisps and smoothie melts and like a few chips and like nuggets here or like finger foods off my plate but not as like a full meal just a snack on is anyone else’s 12 month old still spoonfed? I’ve tried baby lead weani...

Is anyone happy to share what they have given their babies for the first couple of weeks of weaning? Just looking for ideas as I think I’ll start with some pureed broccoli with breastmilk.

hey, is anyone else struggling with food with there little ones? my little one LOVES fruit, and a couple other things, but apart from that anything i offer him, he will try but just throw, breakfast and dinner aren’t so much an issue, but lunch I am struggling with, I just don’t really know what to do, I just keep ...

so i hate weaning, im scared of weaning first of all but we’re now in a nice routine of porridge for breakfast and then she gets a pouch at 3pm but now i can’t give her them?? she’s just learning to love them 😫 - do you think this guidance of not enough iron etc is aimed at 8 month olds who gets all their nutrients…

How do you get a splinter out of a young toddler’s finger. I have no idea if I managed to get it or not but now he won’t let me check cause I imagine it hurts a bit. His whole finger tip was red 😞 so it must have happened yesterday

My LO (nearly 10months) loved porridge for breakfast with fruit mashed in. However this week simply won’t touch it and only wants foods he can pick up himself. Any ideas please? Egg free!

Anyone struggling to get any solids into baby? She was a great eater but now just not interested in anything!

The midwife told me that Charlie’s ready for solids like pieces toast, pasta, banana etc! 😳 anyone else tried solids?? And if so what foods have you tried? x

Weaning has gone so well but i struggle with how to cook and serve meat. I do have the solid starts app but when I follow the advice on there my chicken is just so dry and is like the only thing my baby won’t eat. All advice and recipes welcome.

At what age roughly would you say your child can come out of the highchair and sit on a chair to eat at the table with you? Or what steps could be done to help this happen?

My kids are teens. I’m having an issue with them and food. They are making me feel like shit. I make them a hot breakfast every day before school. They get lunch. Come home and have snack. Then I make dinner. Then they usually get another snack before bed. Either after dinner or their after school snack they want a ...

Has anyone tried any of the baby meal kits? I am getting married in December and about to be eating on a very strict diet. I don’t want to have to cook multiple meals so that baby girl can have a good dinner. Any feedback on ones you love/hate?

Just read this damning report into baby pouches, wanted to share as someone who thought the veg/meal ones were a healthy ish option to give my son when I was tired. 😤 https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c62j0l0gg4go.amp

I made Lemon Yogurt “poppy” Muffins and my baby loves them. I also don’t feel guilty eating these since they have no added sugar. 😆

Really struggling to think of what to feed my LO at the moment. I feel like she just eats the same stuff all the time and when I do try something new she doesn’t seem bothered. My partner and I eat pretty much the same meals every week which doesn’t help matters and I feel like I’m buying a lot of food to waste. An...

Preferably something that isn't porridge, yogurt or weetabix. I need something to ease the constant messiness 😂

My toddler almost 2 suddenly refusing food they usually like some days they hardly eat at all. She drinking her fluids. Is this normal how do yall handle it? I will love to hear what workes for your little ones.
