Heey I just need some more ideas for dinner and lunches for my son, he loves solid foods and can be quite fussy, does anyone have an ideas?xx

My girl likes using a spoon but she's still getting the hang of it. The spoons we have just seem a bit flat so often her food will slide off it before she manages to get it into her mouth. Does anyone have recommendations for spoon that are a bit deeper so she can scoop things better?

I see posts where babies are having 3 meals, snacks AND 3-4 bottles? Where to get one of those babies? Because mine always survives on air, breastmilk twice a day, a lick of avocado and maybe couple bites of his food for the whole day. 🤷🏻‍♀️

What snacks are you giving your babies between meals? I have wafers and rice cakes but those aren’t very nutritious and I’m not sure if it’s good or not to keep giving those?? Or is it fine? Please also share any snack ideas that are quick and easy!

What does that mean? Eg - How does a baby eat tagine,Kiev, pasta bake etc? Lots of salt in adult food also? Are babies swallowing?

Anyone else’s little boy constantly hungry? Doesn’t seem to stop and I’m convinced he’d eat the walls if he could 😂 Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can buy / make to help fill him up?? TIA

The only thing that really frustrates me about my daughter is the fact that she doesn’t eat. She has never been a great eater being completely honest. And I know this because I’m looking at what she has managed to consume throughout the whole week and it never actually seems like a lot, for reference she’ll have 40-...

A couple of weeks ago my little boy had a really bad viral infection and refused to eat. In a desperate attempt we introduced the iPad just to try and get a little something down him. I really never wanted to go down that route but it was the only thing that helped. It’s taken such a long time to shift the infecti...

My in laws annoy me when they come around lately because every time i’m feeding my son or if they see me feed him a meal they ask “he eats that??” Or “do you have baby food for him??” my son is almost 15 months, he’s eating regular food at this point. Whatever my husband and I eat, he eats. Why is that so shocking? ...

Help! My 1YO stilll doesn’t eat food by herself. She doesn’t self feed at all but instead throws whatever I give her onto the floor or use all of her strength to crush it. She is capable and has eaten it in the past (very rare). Even a snack like crisps, she will throw/crush. But if I put bite sizes pieces in her mo...

How often are we supposed to give purées/ food once introduced? I make my own purées and send a little to daycare. Right now it’s once a day for us and sometimes I will give him something small in the evenings but not always. Not sure how often I should be giving him food. He is breastfed if it matters

Taking my 9 months old on holiday for 5 nights and staying all inclusive but baby is too young to eat the food at hotel. What should I do just bring loads of pouches/jars or what? Recommendations / suggestions please.

I'm living in a place that's not mine but it definitely needs some sort of food safeguarding and I can't imagine locking everything up in boxes in the kitchen but how do you set it up so there's no cockroaches

Im still scared to try blw so I still do purées. I do him teething biscuits which he does good with. So I bought him the puff ones and whenever he puts one in he seems fine but then throws up. So I wait a few days and try again and he throws up everytime. Idk how to try real food yet. I’m still scared but whenever...

My 13 month was doing great with food and weaning but now he just throws everything on the floor. He is quite obviously hungry but just throws it all. I’m finding it so triggering and stressful, any one know if this is normal? He only wants to eat with a spoon or fork and will not let you feed him at all. He will ...

I’m having trouble with ideas for meals, I see people giving their babies toast, pancakes, etc. baby has 2 bottom teeth & i break up her food in little pieces or give her purees. I’m scared she will bite a whole chunk & won’t be able to swallow. I want to get her use to it, any ideas on what I can do?

He can keep going! Especially porridge he can eat a lot of it. His stomach is hard after 😔 but obviously I don’t want to deny him if he still wants more. What ways can I tell he has had enough? What is your feeding/eating schedule like? Maybe I need to do more feeds often. Is he very hungry that’s why he eats…
