hi all. how are you all giving your babies pasta? do you just cook them soft and give it to them how it is? we have penne pasta how do I serve it? also does everyone leave skin on their grapes? really random I know 🤣🤣.

my fresh 7 month old still only takes formula. I’ve tried introducing solids many different times, from puree to blw (giving her bits of food for sensory play) but she just has this look of disgust on her face every time. is that normal? at what time should I call for early intervention with the pediatrician if she’...

I never knew I was this silly until my 6 year old told me the little table in a pizza box was to stop the lid touching the pizza and getting soggy..... 😂🙂😂

My baby is showing signs of wanting food (trying to grab my food, head very controlled, sitting with small amount of support etc) but she’s only 20 weeks. Should I wait til 24 weeks or go for it ? Thank u

My son will be 2 in two weeks, and for the last couple of weeks he has been quite tough to deal with. He has suddenly refused to eat at dinner times, no matter what it is and he may only eat a couple of mouthfuls and that’s it; or he just wants to be sat on someone’s lap and be fed, same with breakfast. I also have...

Ideas for my 8- nearly 9 month old please. We get hello fresh so my baby can’t “eat what we eat” like everyone loves to say 🤣

Looking for cheese alternatives for weaning my 6 month old with cmpa

My little boy always seems hungry in the mornings. He has a big bowl of cereal followed by a slice of toast or a bagel ect. By 830 he is then asking for biscuits or crisps. I don’t really know how to go about this as I don’t want to keep giving him everything he asks for. I try to offer alternatives like fruit or so...

I don't understand how some Aug babies are already having 3 meals a day and snacks. I was under the impression it's just one at 6 months then up to 2 at 7 months. How come some are different? My baby is big for her age but I'm sticking to guidelines and I don't know if I'm doing something wrong when I come on here a...

Do you offer your baby tuna yet? If so which one and how do you serve it?

Anyone know of any websites for a list of simple easy meals/recipes I can make for my son (he’s 14months and still earning to eat more solids) and all of us to eat? My husband & I eat out so much that our son isn’t eating the healthiest foods. He’s stuck with the same foods & idk what to cook sometimes. I need to ...

My lo has never been a big eater but this is getting ridiculous never eats anything I put down for breakfast, a few raspberry’s and maybe a teeny square of a sandwich at lunch and only thing hell eat is fish veggie dinosaurs at dinner I’ve tried everything I’m worried he’s not getting enough nutrients he still has a...

I love making new things for him •Sweet potato and carrot mix •Strawberries and kiwi mixed •Kiwi •Banana My 2 year old definitely was excited to get in on the sweet potato and carrot action 😋

My lo was on not eating strike for almost a month now. We almost had came down to milk and purées. But finally since last two days, baby she is back. She ate sooo well, I would keep staring her just to see her eat🥹. I hope we never go back to such strikes ever again 😅

Is anyone’s LO having a slower transition to solids? My 9 month old literally pushes his tongue out at the sight of solids. I keep offering, but I feel like I’m failing as a mum. Is it too early to ask his dr about feeding therapy, I don’t know if he’s struggling because he only has 2 bottom teeth. It’s really weigh...

Hi mamas, my 22 month old went to daycare today for the first time. When I picked her up, they told me she did not eat anything at all. Also that she doesnt know how to use utensils and drink from an open cup and the rest of her class do it. Do your babies use utensils and open cups?

Is it normal for my baby to constantly feel hungry I could give him a bottle and then he will want another one I know that they can cluster feed but this has been going on for a few weeks now

My toddler is like not wanting to eat anything other than snacks(sometimes not even). He will sit down for the meals but take bites and spit it out. Anyone else’s toddler doing this? I feel like I remember this being a phase with my oldest but this mama is going nuts 😭

My husband has a nasty habit of picking his toenails. (I am not gonna lie I bite my nails, BUT I THROW THEM IN THE TRASH!!!!!). So he throws them where he is sitting. The floor, the living room couch, the bed, the bathroom, anywhere in my house you will find them. I have asked him over and over to stop he won’t. I h...

My daughter is throwing handfuls of her food onto the floor at the moment. My mum was with us for tea tonight and couldn’t believe I didn’t tell her off for it. But I thought we should just ignore it at this age? I’m not sure I want to tell her off as I really want her to enjoy being in her highchair and mealtimes. ...
