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...

Spoons and forks

How are your kiddos doing with utensils? My baby is good at using a spoon but not a fork and still kind of uses her hands more than utensils. Is this normal? My MIL shames me since she doesn’t only use utensils

My husband's younger brother came over in the evening for an hour as his son had had a football match during the day. He was saying that his 8 year old son has to have his first filling soon & that ...

What’s your stance on giving chocolate?

I was totally against it I felt toddlers this age didn’t really need to eating that type of stuff yet and I wanted to delay it. She still has crisps like Skips or Quavers but I tended to give fruit, raisins, yoghurt or toddler snacks from the Tesco section. I’ve had passive aggressive comments at me about being a bi...

Toddler keeps flipping his plate

Does anyone's toddler try to play or flip their plate/bowl during mealtimes? My boy is almost 15 months and does this quite regularly. He does eat his food but wants to grab his plate and play with it. Hoping it's just a phase?

Do you give your baby corn? 🌽

We haven't given on the cob or loose as been told it's a choking hazard! We'd like to give her loose corn as we regularly have this but not sure if it's safe? There's so much conflicting info about it...!

Leftover chocolate

My little boy is 22 months now so not technically weaning now, but he got given quite a lot of chocolate for Easter from family. I don't really like him having a lot of sugar, so he has been having a tiny little bit every few days (maybe I'm mean) but don't want him getting too used to having lots of sugar as his sn...
