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...

Fussy eater

My daughter has become so so fussy with her food. Im trying to come up with ways to make it more enjoyable for her. She's just over 2 years old and she is literally refusing everything I make for her. I found some large cookie cutters and made these sandwiches and she actually ate them. Any other fun ideas to get so...

Toddler life

My son is 2.5 years old and refuses just about everything I ask/offer him. Anything from food I offer him (I give him options) to washing his hands or taking off his shoes. He is extremely hard headed and I can’t really reason with him. His speech and understanding is very developed, so I know he is aware of what’s ...

Baby not interested in eating, only bottle feeding

I’d like to hear I’m not alone! My baby is 9.5 months and is rarely interested in food. I’ve been giving him purées since he was 5 months and solids recently. He’ll take 1-2 spoonfuls and then seal his lips and doesn’t want anymore. He’ll play with all the food but it’s the only thing he’s not interested in puttin...

Food obsessed

People comment what a good eater she is hut it's actually really stressful when she is so preoccupied with is all the time. For example she'll wake and ask for breakfast, she'll have cer...

Please help with weaning

Hey guys, my 8.5 month old hardly eats. I’ve tried purées, baby led, pouches, homemade. He’s not bothered. He either spits it out or throws up after the tiniest mouthful (seems to hate texture) and won’t drink water. Still having lots of bottles obviously. Any advice much appreciated x

Have really struggled with trying to think of different things to give him for meals and now to do snacks as well - my sleep deprived foggy brain just can't think of what to give. All ideas welcome please!

Breakfast ideas?

My little one (9m) prefer solid food but would quick recipes ideally can make in advance as wakes up and wants breakfast instantly. He is fed up of oats/weetabix and I fed up making banana pancakes and it's not always practical in morning especially when I return to work soon.

22 Month old eating habits

Hi! I have a 22 month old that is not easy to please in the food department. I consistently give him new options, veggies, fruits and all the things. I give him what I eat.
