Hot take

Not being conscious about the food you’re introducing to your child is seriously setting them and you up for failure. Another hot take: if a neurotypical child will only eat chicken nuggets Mac n cheese etc that is the parents fault 😳 That being said: ofc the occasional fast food and treat is fine. But this…

Baby wanting solids

My little one has just turned 19 weeks. Shes having a roughy 200ml of milk around 5 times a day, sometimes she’ll have a 6th bottle but not always. This does seem to satisfy her however she watches anyone who eats like a hawk, and then tries to eat her hands as she’s watching and dribbles lots! I couldn’t finish m...

I cannot cook

My little girl is 9 months old, and is refusing to be fed by spoon more and more, but I can’t cook and everything I try and make for her fails miserably😂 Can anyone offer any tips or ‘can’t f*ck up’ meal ideas please? I really want to get off using pouches! She’s also got an egg allergy

Solids

When does your LO eat their meals? Do you give breakfast first or bottle first in the morning? I give my LO his bottle first in the morning then about 2 hours later I give his breakfast but I keep seeing people say you should give breakfast first I’m a first time mum and sort of winging it as I go

Do you offer an alternative meal is toddler refuses dinner?

Struggling with this as I don't personally offer anything else for at least two hours as she'll often realise that's what dinner is and pick at it after a while. If she doesn't touch it at all I offer cereal after about two hours becauae by that time she must be hungry. (E.g. dinner at 5, cereal at 7 so she at lea...

‘Ice cream’ for my 22m old

Blended frozen wonky mixed berries in the food processor with full fat Greek yoghurt, squeeze of vanilla paste, squirt of honey, and juice of half a lemon. Freezes absolutely solid 😅 so broke it into chunks to keep in a freezer bag, take out before serving the main to allow to soften. Big hit, and nice treat with…

So far purées for my little guy

My son will be 7 months on the 11th and tried puréed zucchini, squash, sweet potatoes, and carrots. His favorite is zucchini, and squash which gives him a ton of energy. What have you feed your infant so far at this age? I can use a few new ideas on what to serve my little guy💡

Concerned about solids

My LO turned 1 on the 17 but still seems to be a bit iffy when it comes to eating solids. I’ve tried introducing him to all types of regular food and even tried doing breakfast, lunch, dinner.

Any advice/ experience welcome 🆘

My son has been super tricky recently. Last week he was refusing food and we went days with barely eating anything. I could hear his stomach rumbling and his mood was terrible, crying, clingy and just really irritable. I was practically throwing food at him and praying he would eat. 🙏🏻 I initially thought he was…
