So my daughter is six months old her pediatrician said we could start solids at four months. She was good to go so we started she loved them. She loves everything we’ve given her and now she’s six months and she wants nothing to do with baby food now if you were to sit there and set some chicken nuggets or something...

Hi! I'm struggling to figure out what to pack my 10 month old for lunch at day care. He's grown out of purees (or at least a puree doesn't seem like enough), but day care is very picky about what he can have. I tried a Gerber pasta stars thing but they said he can't have peas that aren't crushed up. What do you guys...

I’m trying to prepare for weaning in the next couple of weeks but it just seems like a minefield!

When do I increase...

Baby is 3 weeks old and he is constantly wanting to feed still. Any time I try to put him down he wakes up and cries until I feed him. Is this normal? I am struggling to get anything done, housework and looking after my other two kids is impossible! Any advice??

Hi ladies, my baby boy is 7 months old he currently likes having purees and porridge when I feed him but won’t try to explore any foods himself. I’ve tried a variety of things he’s just not interested, any tips on how to help him get started?

Does anyone have any ideas for what I could give into nursery for lunch, they have asked for finger food for LO, I normally send in spaghetti or tomato pasta in a thermos as I know these are his favourites and he will eat them but they feed him these as they are very messy, I’m struggling to think of things to send ...

What do you give for lunch? I've seen some examples online and they look more like the type of dinner I'd give! 🙈 We have little sandwiches, omelettes, rice cakes, soup etc x

My daughter (2 yo) has had an issue with her weight since she was a baby and gives us a lot of trouble with eating. That’s just for context so today again refusing to eat, but she wanted cake. I just gave her the cake because she refused to eat everything else so at least she ate something. What are your thoughts on...

Hi everyone, My 6m daughter is EBF and started to show interest in food at around 4.5 months. I attempted to give her baby rice first off but she wasn’t too bothered so I left it.

My 6 month old and I is starting the weaning process to solids needing some good meal ideas

I met a friend today who has a child who is a few months older than mine, and is honestly an angel. When it comes to food, we’ve always been a bit relaxed because early on she didn’t put much weight on and it gave me so much anxiety that we’re just happy if she eats, so if that means she sat on my lap, a big chair...

I can’t but help feel like I’ve done everything wrong as a mum. My daughter hasn’t gained weight since May 2024, possibly longer. She’s been 24lbs for that whole time. I saw the doctor today and she’s on 0.2 centile, and my heart sank. She was always 50th as a baby, and I just feel like I’m failing her. She’s alwa...
