I did see a Mama post about it long ago and am curious myself. I haven't started either and had hoped not to till 2 but he sees our food and wants a 'taste' out of everything. I am just a bit paranoid to start. What are y'all doing Mamas? Do y'all let your littles eat anything and everything?

Recently I started trying to eat healthier, so I eat a little later than my partner and my son. Today was a little different. I made my meal a little earlier, but my son had already had a little something to eat, when I sat down to try and enjoy my meal, my son obviously came over and tried to ask for a bite (he's 2...

She'll just clamp her mouth shut & refuse..wont let me feed her..wont feed herself..she has a early 12pm lunch & 5.30pm sometimes 6pm dinner so should be plenty hungry enough.

My baby has been eating baby food for a while now but we just started with the meat baby food. He’s only eating the broth and leaving the meat at his lips or stuffing his cheeks, is he not ready or is this normal?

Maybe this is a case of there's no answer but I'd love my child to eat more vegetables. We've followed all the common advice from recent child psychology, we never beg or force her to try, always have offered different things regularly, me and my partner eat and enjoy lots of vegetables and 'healthy food'. My toddl...

So our little one has just got over tonsillitis and his appetite still isn’t great. Recently when we have been having foods like spaghetti bolognaise and curry which he normally would eat no problem, he all of a sudden hates his hands getting messy and I really don’t know where it’s come from, we’ve had a smooth we...

My little boy has started kicking off every time it comes to sitting in his highchair and kicking off about food. He’s never been like this, he’s always loved food and now i dread every meal. Yet when we go out for food he’s no bother whatsoever. I did think it was down to teething but now im not so sure. Has anyone...

Anyone else’s baby seem so interested in food? My girl will literally act so mad when she sees us eating! She even ripped a cracker out of my hand lol (didn’t eat it). Like come on girlfriend you have to wait a little longer.

What's a good cheese alternative? Most of my easy meals include cheese for her and she's allergic.

I feel like I don’t even know what to do anymore. I’m the last month my little boy has been poorly a couple of times and just went off food at that point, but the last two weeks he’s finally started to get better but is still just off food! He will eat beans, fruit, and toast and that’s pretty much it!! Anything e...

Anyone else’s babies not really interested in food yet? I’m offering her food everyday and sometimes she’s try some but most the time she doesn’t even want it

Anyone know a good source/website/app to get clued up on how to start weaning. My little boy is 4 1/2 months and such a milk guzzler. I have no idea where to start 🙈

My husband reconnected with his sister which is great. So happy for them. She is great and we get along very well. She has a child that is a year older than my daughter. They will hopefully be friends. However, things are tight for us. We struggle making enough money for bills and food. But he keeps giving her any e...

I’m not asking if friends shared with you. I’m asking if your parent(s) purchased this item and allowed you to eat it

I left the room for 5 mins and it’s all gone, I thought she would take a few bites and then leave the rest like normal..

Does anyone else’s little one constantly lick people and things? My daughter is 22 months and has started licking my husband and I and her food or just random toys and such, and we just giggle and tell her no but now she’s started licking strangers 😭 we were at a supper last night and she walked up and licked 3…

My baby is 6 months end of April so I’m starting to look at weaning her. I’m absolutely petrified though to give her solid bits of food and no idea where to start with it all. What did everyone do? How often to give them food? Did you just give purées or solid too? It’s scaring me 😅

My son is 2 years old and has autism and when it comes to eating I know he has texture issues with most foods but it doesn't let it stop him from eating because he just loves eating 🤣... He doesn't chew his food at all. He swallows everything. With no trouble at all.. maybe the odd time he might struggle but he…

My little boy is dairy free and egg free, feel like he has the same stuff for lunch when it’s a snacky lunch. Any recommendations of different things

Hello, my LO is 16 months old and is currently cutting through his top molars, he’s been off his food for a few days now and will only eat snack plates, is this normal? Also seems to be more constant with his bowel movements aswell, I assume this is to do with his teething? Would like to know if any of their littl...
