She literally forces herself to puke, but chokes on textures, except melty sticks she definitely showing interest to our food but at 7 months I'm feeling the pressure to get meals down her and she's having none of it, what other finger foods can she just suck on for now

I don’t know about anyone else, but I’m sick of my 21 month old’s shit. Literally, thanks to grandma she enables these bad habits. She knows when I’m making her food she feeds her garbage and snacks before I actually give her meal to her. All she wants to eat is sweets and sweets before eating real food. She throws ...

I’ve been up all night just overthinking about my baby boys appetite. My mom said I used to be small and picky even as an infant and maybe my son is the same way but still it makes me upset that he’s not gaining as much weight and also not really liking the food I’m giving him(just like mama a picky eater). What are...

So we just went the weekend without power in the house, luckily we just so happened to have to house sit for our friends so it worked out while we got everything figured out. We have power now and are in our own home. Felt so good to sleep in my own bed. But we spent everything we had to get the power back on and I ...

Hi mums , my baby is nearly 7months and started solids 6months. Just started with baby porridge in mornings but wasn’t a fan of it now trying weetabix I give him half a biscuit mixed with a bit of banana and breast milk and he eats it all. But from the time he finishes it to 3/4 hrs later he just slowly vomits it ou...

What do your 3 year olds actually eat in a day? My twins are obsessed with cheese, sausage rolls, crisps, sliced ham, Raisins and sweets obviously. And pasta is usually a go to for dinner. My daughter has some fruit and veg but wee boy still won't touch the stuff. Wee boy is slim and wre girl probs bigger than most ...

Is anyone giving their baby actual porridge or weetabix for breakfast? My little one is currently getting kendamil porridge for breakfast and we are flying through the packs! When is it okay to give them normal porridge?

My little boy was always following 25th centile pretty much from birth until around 6 months. Since starting BLW he has always been a huge foodie and I am not exaggerating when I say he never stops eating! He eats more than I do a lot of the time, he's now 15 months old and I've weighed him he's now over the 90th ce...

How would you feel if your baby at nursery was just being given dry cheerios for breakfast?

My son is 21 months and doesn’t feed himself completely yet. I have always fed him so I know he eats well. He will feed himself his snacks and some finger foods (fries, chicken nuggets, quesadillas cut up) . Do toddlers at this age spoon feed themselves completely?

I really struggle for simple lunch ideas! Most days it’s toast with something cut into small squares. LO has a dairy allergy and I struggle so much with this. We aren’t doing BLW but I cut most things into bite size pieces or I’ll spoon feed

Please tell me I’m not alone. My toddler refuses to eat any vegetables I put on her plate!! Won’t even eat a cucumber! She will eat, chicken, fish fingers, tuna, pasta, yogurt. A lot of fruits but just no vegetables at all!! I’m getting so worried because it can’t be good for her but I don’t know what to do. I kee...

She has a morning weetabix and really don’t want to deal with weetabix in hair, and everywhere at 6am, but I know I have to! How long did it take for baby to get comfy with utensils? How shall I introduce it? When I give her a little fork at dinner time, she thinks it’s play time 😅

I've just started weaning my little one - she's just on purees at the moment per doctors advice. I've batch cooked loads and put them in the freezer and then I defrost over night and heat them on hob before she has them. How do I feed her when we're out? I don't really want to give her the pre made pouches yet.

Am i trying to give my son purees to early? He's sitting up quite well, head is steady, is interested in our foods and the times I've given him pureed bananas he will actively reach for it and really seems to enjoy it actually gets upset when its gone but im seeing conflicting information online and im worried :/ he...

If I blend them will he still get the nutrients? I can steam them light and then blend. He sometimes likes to drink some soup so im thinking of adding blended carrots and green peas to his soup? Do let me know if this makes sense as he's almost 3 now and has never had veggies! I've tried so many things, he sees me e...

My baby is about to turn 6 months this week and want to start giving her cereal but I’m unsure what kind to start her on. What kind of baby cereal are you all feeding baby? What’s the difference in the rice vs oatmeal? What’s a good brand?

My three month old is always reaching for my food and the way her little face lights up whenever I’m eating is so adorable. I put my kettle corn down on the other side of the bed to enjoy once she fell asleep and bean scooted over to it and began trying to eat it.🤣🤣she tried for ten minutes straight so it turned…

My toddler eats so little. Like nibbles on things here and there but never a full meal. I’m constantly making food for him to eat and nothing. It’s exhausting. Some things he will eat is shredded cheese, biscuits but only a couple bites, corn dog (maybe), chicken nuggets, ( maybe). He doesn’t seem to want to eat. I...
