Archie is 9.5 months - he is a large boy who’s been weaning since 6 months. I highly doubt he’ll eat a lot of that. I’ll post the aftermath. Just to show the reality doesn’t necessarily reflect what pretty instagram posts would have you believe what babies eat.

I feel like I’m so behind on weaning etc. my baby has turned one and won’t drink anything apart from his milk. I mean I’ve tried a lot of different cups but won’t do it also won’t even hold his own bottle. If I give him finger foods he will just break it up or just open his mouth for me to feed him. Everything has t...

Anyone else LO just tossing food on the floor 🙃 she was such a great eater before

Usually my baby is a big eater, he loves spaghetti with meatballs so I made it for him for dinner today and he ate barely half of it which isn't like him. He took a long time to eat his lunch too, and left most of his yogurt.

Idk what to do anymore. I have a 2 year old who likes to eat and run around while he’s playing. Which is normal. Now our dog…she’s 9 lab pit mix she’s a very sweet girl…but she keeps taking his food and knocks it on the floor with her nose! I’ve swatted her butt twice for this behavior. She has her own food and wate...

What are people giving their children for dessert? I give yogurts and fruit but want to mix it up a bit!

Anyone else’s nearly 15 month old just gone completely fussy with food? Every single meal I cook my little girl just throws the lot on the floor and won’t even touch it! I’m fed up of wasting time and money for her to throw it and I’m so worried that she’s not eating enough in a day because she just refuses everythi...

Anyone else’s baby just not interested in food? She is 6.5 months old and we started weaning a few weeks ago, when she turned six months. Have tried a combination of purées and finger foods. She picks finger foods up and brings them to her mouth but doesn’t actually take anything into her mouth. Doesn’t open her mou...

My son used to eat everything until he was about 14 months old, then he became really against dinner meals like bolognaise, stew, pasta & sauce etc. so he's been mostly eating fish fingers, nuggets, sausages, chips, cheese pizza and variations of those for the best part of a year now. He would've still ate cheese, p...

We’ve tried pasta today for the first time and she definitely loved it!😅 remember food is for fun we always eat a bit then she explores herself with the rest 🥰

My 8 month old has severe diarrhea. I'm following the brat diet as well as trying to add a few vegetables but it's a great diet to follow for too long as it lacks nutrients, can I give these packets as a bit of protien? The sugar and salt content is low.

Hey mamas! My LO was born on the 2nd and is soo interested in foods! When are you thinking about introducing foods? What foods are on the top of your list?

I'm looking for quick breakfast ideas for before nursery. My son is having pancakes and grapes most days and I want to mix it up a bit.

Anyone else’s LO just have no interest in weaning?! I’ve tried purée’s and BLW and she just hates it. Gags, spits it out or will just stick her tounge to the front and not even let me near her mouth with the spoon 😬 only thing she’ll happily enjoy is those weaning wand crisp things, not sure if she likes the…

First time mum here 👋 I’m curious as to why people start weaning around 4 months? My baby is coming up to 4 months and I’m not intended on weaning until he is 6 months. He’s a chunky baby 16pounds1oz. Do they show signs? Also what do people start off with? My health visitor said no porridge or rice as it’s full of…

Have people started offering foods such as pasta, meat etc? Or just sticking to fruits/veggies and cereals for now?

My 7.5 month old LOVES his food, we haven’t found anything he’s struggled with or doesn’t like but I get worried he gets bored of things. I tend to eat the same thing quite a lot so feel like I’m running out of ideas for him! Also how do people go about giving their baby’s meat? He good with mince and I’ve made hom...

Do you let your children eat things like sausages, sausage rolls, chicken nuggets, frozen chips, fish fingers, tins of soup etc? Or do you make everything from scratch? I love to cook but I’m back to work full time and just feel it’s so unrealistic to make everything from scratch. I obviously want to give my daughte...

Bought these as thought they would be best to start weaning & introducing flavours, what do you guys use them for? Do you just out fruit in them? Do I need to do anything else with it? Can you put like sweet potato in them etc? Help pls lol!

My baby was such a foodie. Now for the last 3 days she had runny nose and high temperature and the doctor said it might be rsv and bronchiolitis. She doesn’t eat solids at all anymore. Not a single piece since the 3 days ago. She feels much better today. No temperature and less congested but still didn’t touch her b...
