His safe foods are weetabix with fruit yogurt (normal yogurt is always a no). Grapes, watermelon, apples, banana, oat bars, crisps, some biscui...

I offer breakfast and lunch, they eat such small amounts and it seems to take forever, I can be sat at the table with them for a full hour. I feel like we're still in the playing/touching/tasting stage, my baby s...

I'm trying to find a way to word it so that google will understand me but I'm not finding anything, when do kids usually start to be able to eat thing out of one hand with the other?

LO (16 months) has always been the best eater!! He started weaning at 4/5 months and we’ve never had a problem. All of a sudden ANY dish he’s served he will eat about 3/4 small spoonfuls before then opening his mouth and scraping everything off his tongue! He then won’t eat anything else. Breakfast is normally a suc...
