Hi, is it normal six months old don’t want to eat anything? I’m so scared of BLW so we started on pure, but any pure I give to my twins they just don’t want to eat it, also I don’t think so they like the high chair.

I want to create a sick toddler kit to have ready, what are your sick kid must haves?

Hi did anyone feed their 4 months old already some baby food and is there anything that helped with baby doing longer sleep stretches at night as I cannot feel I can keep breastfeeding with all the sleepless nights going forward. Did baby cereal help and if how did you prepare? Or what kind of food did you give the ...

So I feel guilty for saying this, but I hate when it’s time to give my seven month old solids every day. I think it’s cute when he eats and tries new things and gets excited, but everything else is such a hassle. He most of the time doesn’t even actually eat, he plays in the food (which I know is good) throws it on ...

I see on Instagram all these moms cooking and baking with their toddler and how its special bonding moments. I've been trying to do more with my 22 month old, like muffins this morning and tbh, I find it extremely stressful lol. I have high anxiety and so when he's touching everything or trying to touch oven, or egg...

My little girl has like very little appetite and I’m not sure why. Her meals are really small- like she’ll gesture full and turn her head away and refuse any more food like after a few bites? I’m so worried she’s not having enough or there’s something wrong. It’s not that she’s fussy because she’s refusing everythin...

When did everyone start there baby’s on purées and baby rice and how did you know they were ready

My little boy is 18 months. He will feed himself his breakfast (usually porridge or Weetabix with banana) and any yoghurt that he has with lunch or dinner but unless it’s finger food he’s otherwise uninterested in feeding himself. So if it’s a hot meal I will spoon feed him myself and then he usually eats all or mos...

Anyone else baby just hate food. We have been introducing it for about 6 weeks now and he's still not interested in anything. Have tried both purree an bits of food he can pick up.. do I keep trying or just wait a month or so?

I'm getting so stressed out with my wee boy and it's getting me so down. He will barely eat anything. I usually spoon feed and do fingrr food etc offer spoon. Never been fully blw. He now just slaps his hands around and food just goes everywhere when i try to feed him or when he has food he just throws it on the gro...

My little girl is 5 months and 5 days now I was just wondering did anyone introduce baby rice or baby porridge before 6 months or just wait? I’m going to wait until 6 months before proper weaning fun begins but just wondered if anyone had given porridge ect as I brought a pack and it says 4-6months on it? X

Is anyone else finding their baby doesn't bring much to their mouth? My baby is 8 months old and although he chews his hands he doesn't really bring toys to his mouth a lot (he does occasionally but not all the time). He did put things in his mouth more a few months ago but seems to have stopped. He hasn't got any t...

For those using them, how much of a fruit purée pouch do you give to your little one in one sitting?

My son is on his third week of nursery and things are going pretty ok all things considered, but he is refusing to eat any solid food there. He eats 3 meals and 1 snack at home but will not touch a thing at nursery. I just wondered if anyone had experienced this with their little one and if anything helped? or did ...

My little girl is 6 and a half months now and has been having some foods, like smooth puree vegetables and fruits and some thicker ones and loves it. We decided to try some finger foods like really squishy broccoli. Carrots etc and she seemed to like some and gag at times. I’m terrified of her chocking and I do fis...

My 1y/o is refusing to eat meat. Can I sneak some ovaltine in his milk to give him protein instead? Ty!

My toddler is so picky she will not eat at daycare and she’s there for 7 hrs a day! I feel like she isn’t being encouraged to eat or they don’t care much because it’s about 10 other toddlers in her class. I thought her being exposed to other kids her age would make her want to eat like the others but it’s been 2 mon...

My son is 10 months old, he’s been on purées and baby food, but it doesn’t seem to be enough for him anymore Yesterday he kept acting fussy even after a bowl of banana purée and 9 ounces of formula, so 10 minutes later I had to make him another bottle which he drank about 4 and half ounces out of it until he was ful...

I was cooking and I put the ground meat container in the trash can. My 2 year old was playing with it. When I turned around I saw it and washed his hands. It didn’t look like he put it in his mouth but he could have. Do you think I need to worry?
