How can I help my 7 month old get taller and gain weight? He's dropping percentiles since 3.5 months and because he's still 50th percentile, no one is worried, he was 99th percentile! What can i feed him to help him? He is dairy free since 3 months and I don't know is that having an effect!

My LG has hated weening since we started. She’s got a massive sweet tooth. Anything savory and she like nope! Give her a choc biscuit then she’s all Over it! When she was Little i Worked out if I put baby sensory videos on it made her eat savoury food so we got into the awful habit of doing that. Wasn’t a great hab...

Is anyone else’s LO not interested in lunch. My LG will have a good breakfast, snacks, and tea. She just won’t eat lunch types of foods, or just doesn’t want to eat at lunch time 🙈

Doesn’t anyone’s toddler actually eat with a fork or spoon on their own? Mines just not interested, even if I pre load a spoon for her, she can use it but she’d rather use her hands as it’s quicker 🤦🏻‍♀️😂 and she won’t like scoop up food with them either she’ll just wave them about. Is there any way of encouraging…

I wanna try my lo one pasta shes 6 month but I'm scared she would choke on it any ideas

Hi, I have a 1 year old and wondering if anyone has any tips on trying to get her to use her cutlery when eating and she gets bored using them and throws it on the floor then uses her hands.

Any pics for inspo? :)

To everyone that’s weaning how are you doing it? When do you give them the meal? What are you giving them? How many times a day? My lg is 6months tomorrow and weve started to give her a few bits here and there but I’m wanting to start a routine with it. Is fruit really that bad of a thing to give first as it’s in al...

Just wondering what sort of stuff you guys are putting in your 3 year old lunchboxes. Any ideas welcome. Thanks

I feel like I’m running out of ideas of things to make! Does anyone have any go to meals or snacks for CMPA babies? Thank you ☺️

Are you supposed to soak them before giving to baby?

Anyone having issues with weaning? My nearly 8 month old just doesn't seem very interested in eating and gets really frustrated very quickly. She sometimes may take 1 or 2 spoons of porridge but then loses interest. Getting really disheartened with the whole weaning process. Tried veggies in the past and she refused...

Todsy I tried toast with mashed banana for the first time. She didn’t really know what to do even though self feeds with other things like baby crips and snacks. Also I was really paranoid that a clump of the bread would get stuck as he doesn’t bite. I don’t know what to do.

Has anyone given their LO fish fingers bought from the shop? I'm expecting and I'm really craving fish fingers and wondered if I could make them for my son too 😂 Just read up so much stuff online about the salt content etc but surely one fish finger is fine?

He won’t eat anything from a spoon that I feed him, only finger foods but I’m running out of options to give him, that are long finger shaped 😂😂😂 toast? Fruit, veg, cheese. He’s not actually swallowing much of anything. Not sure what to do. I’ve tried preloading the spoons and he kind of gets them in his mouth but…

Is there any baby led weaning apps which is good for recipes? Thank you Picture so we don’t get lost❤️

My 13mo old cannot eat snacks! If I give him a snack during the break between breakfast and lunch - he will not touch his lunch, even if I give him 2 grapes and some orange! I’m not really sure what to do, I’ve even tried giving him lunch at 12 and dinner at 6 so he has a snack at 3 and he still won’t eat his dinner...

Anyone else lo going through a picky stage. Asking for food, not eating it. Snacking little bits the only full meal he eats is dinner in the evenings… But at nursery eats like a dream 🫣

Hey guys, so I’m here watching these tik toks of ppl giving their 8 month olds basically mini meals and my baby is deff over the purées she only wants to eat our food now lol but my question is how to properly introduce this so she’s not overwhelmed or chokes!

Anyone else’s toddler eating like a little bird? If I give him cereal he may have 2 spoonfuls, toast he’ll have maybe a quarter of a slice etc he will eat porridge some days, he eats strawberries and raspberries sometimes bananas but no veg. He really doesn’t have a balanced diet and tends to need to eat little and ...
