Where does your child eat or ate at 3 years?

Just curious because I don't think my little one is eating enough. Can you give me examples of what your baby finishes in a typical meal? TIA x

I have oatmeal strawberries and bananas or at least access to them is it better to buy this pouch or make our own with my WIC benefits someone showed me this same person showed me this and a few other foods

My daughter has never been great with food but this is next level… she is living off fruit and yoghurt. She won’t eat any other food, I’ve been giving her a multi vitamin to make sure she’s getting enough everything she needs, but I’m getting so stressed… she takes one bite and is done with everything on her plate… ...

Does anyone have like a list of things they started offering their LO when they started weaning? Need some recommendations, don’t know where to start from! and how many times a day do you feed? My LO is 6 months now.

my almost 13m old is still uninterested in solids most of the time and only wants milk. is anyone else in the same boat? he’s not eating enough. i don’t know what to do.

I just got a call from nursery that at lunch my little one (11 months old) reached over and ate another kids yogurt that was dairy… they rung up to apologise and I know kids will be kids but I feel like this is a red flag considering he has allergy… what would you girls do if anything? My partner said to leave it ...

This is my second baby. I can’t really remember how much my daughter ate from the start but my little boy doesn’t seem to want to eat much. Just wanted to gauge what other babies are like with solids this early on. He was 7 months old last week but came 2.5 weeks early.

My son turned 1 at the beginning of April and for the last week and a bit he’s hardly eating solids 😩 he used to love food but all of sudden has gone off eating and it’s starting to stress me out! I make so many different meals but the only thing he’s okay with is fruit at the moment, not sure if its teething…

Hey all! I'm after some quick lunch ideas! My 13 month old has gone off all her normal lunches - usually has either a sandwich or toast, with egg in various forms, with some fruits or cucumber, or left overs from dinner if its something easy! If anyone can give me some quick and easy lunch suggestions or something...

Why when family asks how your baby is, is the first and only suggestion to ‘try and give him solids’. At a month old he had a big appetite - told to feed him solids. Baby has reduced appetite at 3 months- feed him solids. Thinks baby is teething at 17 weeks - feed him solids. Baby’s sleeps not great when he had...

I need some suggestions of things to put in lunchboxs for days out and nursery. Any suggestions would be great. Could be anything premade or that I need to make it cook as long as can be eaten cold. So far all I can think is Sandwich, cocktail sausages, sausage rolls, cheddars/crisps, fruit, yogurt, cold pinwheel...

Does anyone have any lists of store bought biscuits for step 1 of the milk ladder and the amounts you need to give? All our dietician has sent is the recipe to make them and while I get that’s ‘best’ it’s not always possible! I saw an Instagram post with a list but the only ‘baby’ option was Heinz apple biscotti whi...

The title pretty much sums it up. What are some meals you suggest to feed a 9month old to help them gain weight. So far he's gotten sick every time I've tried to add avocado oil in his food.

Why would my baby daddy ask me to buy him some food for dinner and not his girlfriend? He asked me to buy him food because he had no money in his account and had not been paid yet. And that there were no groceries in their apartment. I guess I’m just confused on why he’s asking me and not his girlfriend. Any th...

I’m a first time mom so I’m figuring everything out at the next stages of her life. Her pediatrician said she can start eating solids at 4 and a half months. Has anyone had this? Or heard of this? I was shocked and thought this is too young…

My baby is 6 months this week and I want to start homemade purées. This may be a dumb question (I’m a first time mom) but if I prepare for example carrot purées should I feed it warm or cold to my baby? What do you all do?

My little one has just turned 5 months old. She can sit up unaided though is wobbly and can sit comfortably in her high chair. She’s on 6oz milk every couple of hours but never seems fully satisfied, though she doesn’t drink more milk in one sitting when offered. NHS advice on weaning is to wait until 6 months. Bu...

My daughter is days away from 8 months and we’re still on purées. I’ll give her a banana in a fruit feeder and even that makes her gag! I’m terrified to try more. Gagging and choking is my biggest fear. I’m on solid starts but even that makes me feel crazy. Gave her an orange the other day, gagged! I know gagging is...

Today we had a four month check-in at the paediatrician and he mentioned that we should start introducing solid foods to my baby not for nutritional purposes but just to introduce him has anyone else been advised to do this? All of the stuff I say Online is to say wait until the six months old 🫣
