We’ve battled with eating since day 1. Now we have a 2 year old that will not food such as pasta, slow cooked meals etc unless they are blended. She won’t eat any fruit/veg unless it’s blended in a meal, hidden or in a pouch. She’ll eat the usual beige snacks, yoghurts, toast, sandwiches with spread. She will no...

My little girl hasn’t gaining much weight. December she as 10kg January 10.1kg March 10.2kg She has been unwell a lot throughout winter but she’s just not gaining weight anymore. What do I do? She does eat a lot of food when she’s well!

LO is doing really well on step 1 of the milk ladder. Third time trying and we’re finally up to 3/4 malted milk with no symptoms. If he passes this step, what new foods can we introduce?

I’m so proud of my 9.5 month old, she will eat anything that I put in front of her and recently I gave her a bit of avocado on some bread for her first taste and she absolutely demolished it 😁🥰

What’s everyone’s routine in terms of milk and food. What’s classed as a proper solid meal? Does your LO drink less?

What are you all feeding baby for breakfast that is just starting to wean? I don’t want to do porridge every day as it’s boring but also he’s only just being introduced to flavours so don’t want to do anything too elaborate as I’m only doing taster foods throughout the day. So far he seems to be loving it! 🤞🏼 Any…

What's everyone's giving their 9 month old for lunch? I feel like all she eats is sandwiches n weetabix 🤣

Anyone know why my baby is sucking on toys etc? Sorry if it's a daft question but he's only started doing it the past 2 days. Usually he will chomp down on toys but recently he's sucking on them. He's not hungry as he does it after eating too. He's also started sucking on clothes and his dummy lead etc.

Hiii please help! I started weaning my girl as soon as she turned 6 months. We have been weaning for 3 weeks. Sleep has never been great she’s always woken up to feed in the night. However since weaning she’s waking up crying, arching back, pulling legs up and lots of gas throughout the night! She’ll trump a few tim...

(Please be nice i am a first time mom) I am at a loss right now, my daughter refuses any vegetables and only wants fruit or junk food. If it has vegetables in it she will chuck it across the room. Austism runs heavily in my family, affecting myself, my little brother, and my mother, giving us texture sensitivity and...

My eldest loves crepes, they’re his new favorite dessert of mine and he asked for it again tonight so for my babies request.

My baby drinks 15 oz of whole milk a day and some days she eats pretty good meals. Little to no veggies besides her pouches. And mainly fruit. Some days all she want is lil bites of meals, snacks, and fruits. it stresses me out when she doesn’t eat or is being picky😭 anybody else? Happy international women’s day 🫶🏼

Is there a better/healthier brand that sells snacks like these? I make all my baby’s food currently but would like to offer her little snacks like this. And I never hear good things about Gerber. TIA!

So I started weaning my son from 6 months. It’s been nearly 2 months and he absolutely hates lunchtime. Nothing will make him eat it please help

I don't know how this is possible as I have an already 4 year old but im so confused about weaning! I can't remember what i did last time at all!!! My boy is now 9 months and I see so many people giving their younger babies these full blown meals and I'm like..."How??" Surely at this age they are limited on teeth! M...

Hiya all, My little girl is becoming super fussy eater , she only wants plain food or chicken nuggets,fish fingers or oat meal and sometimes she ask cereal for lunch and dinner.

I made my baby some purée with canned salmon, frozen strawberries, sage and some oat cereal to thicken it up. Things got hectic and I wasn’t able to wash her stuff right away so it sat for a few hours and when I went to wash it there were all these dark spots?? I googled if it could be mold but what I saw said a few...
