Having spent a bit of a fortune on snacks…. please give me any ideas of enjoyable toddler homemade snacks that I can start to make - ideally including ones that I can easily take out and about. It’ll be hard to leave the commercial ones behind…. but I need to try!

Looking for some ideas for 7 month old to eat at lunch. Im trying to do BLW during lunchtime just because were out and about often in the afternoons so its just more realistic for her to eat more of finger foods instead of hot meals for lunch. Has got the hang of picking up and bringing up to the mouth but is strugg...

Anyone else sometimes really struggle to think of a lunch 😂 I don’t always want to give sandwiches but I also need a really quick and easy lunch.

Hello, this is so embarrassing and disgusting but my son has started eating his poop, he was diagnosed with moderate autism, so no way of making him understand that what he is doing isn’t right since he does not understand us. Anyone else go through this struggle or just me ?

Does anyone know why or has their little one done the same thing as mine in this video? We did painting hands when she was about 8 months and she did the retching and we didn’t think anything of it but we did it again the other day and it was a strong reaction 🤔 We baked some bread today and when she came to help…

I've been giving my baby boy solids (puree and tastes of the foods I eat) for a while now, for a few months. We started off with cereals and his stomach didn't love it so we stopped it and I just give him fruit/veggie purées. Problem is he only will eat it once a day and now he is not very interested as he'd rathe...

When should we start introducing/teaching utensils? My 14 month old seems to want to try and use them on his own but is entirely unsuccessful. He obviously eats some things off a spoon or fork but fed by me. Every now and then I can hand him a spoon and he’ll feed himself. He started recently taking an empty spoon, ...

What are you doing for snacks now littles have turned 1?

How on EARTH are we teaching our babies to spoon feed themselves?! My LO will put an already loaded spoon in his mouth himself maybe once and will kind of dip the spoon into a bowl occasionally if I show him, but honestly he just launches the spoon every time 🙄😩 Between that and constantly chucking his food on…

I know it’s to early but has anyone started introducing pure or baby rice, just wondering when to start

Can baby have some of my stir fry? It’s chicken, vegetables and chow mein sauce?? He’s almost 1

I’m going crazy. My LO turned 1 years old in September and well before that he started playing up at meal times, I kept reading that it’s a phase and he’ll get over it etc. but it’s becoming TOO much now, he spends the whole meal time, esp dinner time, screaming and whining and wanting to be taken out of his high-ch...

My little girl seems to have really lost interest in food over the last few weeks. She will eat a few spoonfuls and that’s it. I know teething can impact their food intake. I’m not sure if I should try and reduce one of her milk feeds she’s still on four bottles a day or just carry on with her milk for now and see i...

Hey all, our 8 month has pretty much refused all food until recently, now he will put things in his mouth and chew but often spits it all out or plays with it.. when did your little ones actually start to ingest stuff?

Hey, mummas, just wondering what a rough day food and drink wise you have for your 1 year old. My LG has 3 meals plus snacks, but I think I need to get her milk down. X

What kind of food are you guys giving your babies for packed lunches during childcare? Right now we just give a jar of puree. I'd like to pack her more food since she's starting to eat more solids but I'm not sure what.

Hi! I need some meals for my 9 month old. I’ve introduced her to pancakes, waffles, eggs, yogurt, chicken, rice, bread (toast), bananas (she hates the feeling of them). I just need some ideas so I can make a menu for the week and try to particularly figure out what she likes. Or what she can have. She has 2 teeth on...

We went out to eat and my in laws didn't finish their food. They were adamant for my husband to eat it, but he's no longer interested in helping them finish their food because they're grown adults and need to start eating food they order. MIL said let's pack it and then made a comment that the little one (my eldes...

What are some influencers/blogs/chefs you follow who give you good inspo for feeding you little one?
