Hey, my little one has recently cut two bottom teeth and is now I believe cutting more. However the new ones cutting through are causing him to not want to eat. He’s trying to bless him but the sucking is too much and too painful.. I’ve given calpol and bongela in hopes to help him. He has just turned 6 months.. is ...

My little boy used to eat literally anything - but the past few months he won’t eat meat, basically won’t eat anything really other than chips! I’ve tried absolutely everything! :( He just won’t even put it in his mouth. He looks at things picks them up and pulls a funny face then throws it down - unless it’s someth...

I need meal ideas (mainly dinner time) I say she’s fussy, she doesn’t like to be fed with a spoon only breakfast which is always Greek yogurt and raspberries. She doesn’t like hot/warm food so no porridge. I haven’t tried cereal scared of chocking plus feel the Greek yogurt is more nutritious than cereal. Lunch she...

Toast with lurpak melts in his mouth. The only thing he eats is. Are there any suggestions on what else I can introduce to him that is a similar vibe and will melt in mouth except yoghurt? He won't eat puree foods either.

Today my baby turned 17 weeks and he was eating 6oz per feeding and he’s been struggling to eat even 3oz. Sometimes he can finish it but it takes us about an HOUR or longer. My mom says its normal but it makes me feel something that he is not eating :(

Is anyone else's 2yr old fully able to use a fork at mealtimes but still uses their hands for a lot of things like spaghetti bolognese etc? Is it normal? Thanks 😊

I don’t know what to do anymore I’ve tried everything, different foods, sitting and eating with him, feeding it to him, smaller portions, seperate plates and yet still he just throws his food on the floor! Does anyone have any advice please, as he will eat snacks and sweet stuff but will not eat any of the meals I m...

Hi momma's , FTM here. My son turned 18 months old 3 weeks ago. And ever since seen a shift in his behaviour he has stopped eating food refusing his daily meals , would only snack sometimes if he feels like , mostly surviving on milk. He doesnt want to trim his nails which wasnt a problem before. Since 2 days he d...

Stuck for ideas, here’s what she’s asked for

What was your baby's first food? why did you choose this ?

Doesn’t matter if it’s something I know he likes or something new LO is refusing all types of food!! What am I suppose to do. All I keep hearing is he will eat when he’s hungry.. well he must never be hungry because he eats nothing and when he does it’s 2-3 spoonfuls 😩

My first born was a complete boob monster & wasn’t really interested in food when we started weaning. But my almost 7 month old is absolutely loving eating. I didn’t want to rush it, but whenever I’m eating he cries because he wants it. So I have started giving him a small amount of food every time I eat. He is defi...

Okay so my BD and I are trying to figure out life together. It’s a been long rocky road for us. I thought when we found out we were pregnant he’d grow up and stop being selfish. I’ve had an eating disorder for the past 4 years (it’s still off and on) so it’s very DIFFICULT for me to have a comfort food/snack. Part o...

My little boy is 18 months in a couple of weeks. When we did weaning we did the whole veg’s first and all that jazz but it got difficult and we found he had a milk, egg and wheat allergy. Now he can tolerate wheat and some dairy variations but he just barely eats anything new. He will eat beans, pasta, and toast a...

Its so hard to feed my 10month old solid foods now. He was a good eater but now omg. He shakes his head no, pushes the spoon away etc. Could it be his teeth?

Does your toddler get upset over smallest of things like today I put her crisps on her high chair and she got very upset is just my little one ?

HELP! I want to see if I’m not the only one! My toddler is 16 months old this month on 11th March. Couple of months now she’s just not interested in her food. She’ll throw it everywhere, she go to eat it then scrunch her face and spit it out, even with foods she used to love! I’ve started her on vitamins as I ju...

Had to try this! Dates, peanut butter, dark chocolate, almonds 😍 Hit with the kiddos and me!

What do you do if your child is just refusing food? Won’t eat meals unless it’s nuggets, sausage, hotdog etc. even refusing past that he normally eats. It’s really getting to me and I know that if he doesn’t eat he won’t sleep at night. He just point blank refuses. He’ll eat snacks fine and eats fruit, has gone off ...

I have a fair few veggie purées in my cupboard but baby won’t really eat purées anymore is there anything I can put them in instead of wasting them? She’ll eat the purée fruits but not the veggie ones she’d rather just nom on a carrot stick or a broccoli florets.
