So, my daughter is almost 11 months. She’s already going through such a growth spurt right now. However, I also notice her appetite is changing. She is still getting her regular formula bottles, but in between those I am noticing she wants food more often. Is this normal? She is happier after she gets a snack. Is th...

What time does your little one have their tea/dinner?

Lemon and Thyme Vegan "Chicken Breast", Mashed Potatoes and Vegetables Dakota is 18 months and eats a vegan diet. No comments about her veganism, I've done tons of research and know how to feed my child. What was left in the comments.

My baby is 5 months old and we've been weaning now for nearly 2 weeks. I've batch cooked loads of purees but I was just wondering what else I can give her or if anyone has any suggestions on meals.

How do we know what baby likes and doesn't. It's costing me a small fortune for her to take a mouthful and refuse any more for it then to go in the bin the next day just attempted cheese pie and took 2 spoons made some horrible faces then refused more. Tried her with her normal porridge and she scoffed the lot. Am I...

I catch myself crying near enough everyday because my daughter won’t eat much. She has a diary intolerance aswell and I genuinely feel like I’ve failed her. She likes meat and some fruit whereas her veg she’s gone completely off it. Now she is up all night shouting for me

Anyone else have a toddler who just refuses evening dinner all of a sudden? It's stressing me out so much but then he wants snacks ten minutes later, he wants anything but dinner.

How to understand hunger cues? 8 week old discovered hands and is constantly sucking on them. How do I know if my baby is hungry again or not?

Can you baby lead wean when they have no teeth, I’m really scared of choking. Currently my LO is on purrees but I want to try BLW as he will only have porridge or fruit pouches and I know he needs his veg and protein.

My little one is feeling unwell, vomiting immediately after he eats. Does anyone know how to stop his upset stomach?!

Hi, baby currently has hand, foot and mouth and has gone completely off their food. The only thing I can get them to eat is yoghurt. I'm just wondering if anyone else who has had this illness found any other foods that worked well for baby. Thanks!

Does anyone’s baby not eat very much still? I offer 3 meals a day but just find the quality of the food she will actually eat isn’t great. She’ll eat melty sticks, porridge, yoghurt, fruit well but not much else. I’m going to continue to offer a variety but sometimes it’s disheartening to spend time preparing food (...

Hi mamas, We started solids two weeks ago and my son doesn’t like to hold the food with his hand. If I leave it in front of him, he just plays with the plate. If I put it in his hand he holds it for a few seconds and then throws it or drops it. He eats but actual food and puree when I feed him but he doesn’t want to...

I do 2 purées and some cut up food twice a day. Idk if it’s enough? Solids are hard!

Is anyone managing to fit in baby classes after moving to 3 meals a day? My day is now taken up with prepping, feeding and clearing up. If I fit in a walk I'm winning!

If you’re doing BLW, are your babies eating the same food as you? If so, are you cooking without salt for for all the family or how are you doing it? I’m tired of cooking two separate foods every day for lunch and dinner but we eat with salt and I don’t want my baby to have salt…

My LO takes anything he wants from other kids or other people. He’d be eating a slice and will grab another one just to throw it. He doesn’t like copying anyone, so he doesn’t clap back or wave but he does enjoy watching us do them. This also extends to him not copying words, so he hasn’t spoken yet. He used to list...

We are going to a wedding in a few weeks and so I'm looking for some meals and snack ideas that aren't too messy. Baby girl is a good eater (mostly) but is very messy so hoping to take some food for her with minimal mess 🤞

Are these sizes okay for him? He's only got 4 top teeth and 3 on bottom. I'm using kebab bread as base. Just anxious with bread usually x

Anyone else’s baby use to eat everything you give them now just suddenly eating bits but throwing most on the floor 🤦🏻‍♀️ Food was never a problem for him until the past week he now just don’t like this or that and throws it on the floor 😂🫣
