Picky eater?

Anyone else’s baby only eating fruits for breakfast and lunch? I can’t get my 17 month old to eat anything but fruits. 😭 she’ll have some Mac n cheese for dinner but that’s about it. I don’t think she’s teething either.

I'm raising a thief 🤦🏻😂

Who puts the pick n mix at toddler height??!! I swear Asda is asking for the sweeties to be pinched. I was in Asda for milk and yogurts. Decided to give the menace free reign and just wander about. I swear he must've sniffed out the sweets. I'm walking and literally saying " no we don't need anything like this" turn...

Baby won't eat fatty food

I am running out of ideas what to feed my 12-month old. He does not eat cereal (I tried oatmeal, rice, barley, multi-grain, semolina).

Weaning

Hi! Looking for some advice. My LG 6 months and I’ve been giving her puree once a day. I feel as though when you read online it’s a bit of a mine field and wondered whether I should increase the meals? Looking to see what everyone else is doing and how much solid food per day?

2 year old isn’t motivated to feed himself meat/veggies

He will feed himself his favorites (yogurt, fruit, rice) with a spoon/fork just fine. He doesn’t like meat/veggies as much but will eat it if I fork it to him. If all we serve is meat/veggie, he simply won’t eat at all unless I feed him. I want him to be independent; but this results in him not getting as balanced diet

Feeding difficulty

My little one is 18 weeks old now. He has always been a good eater, but for the past month, I’ve been struggling with his feedings. He's on formula, but I’ve noticed that he’s not as interested in drinking his milk. He either plays with the bottle teat or keeps it in his mouth without sucking. It seems like he's hav...

Losing the will to live

My toddler is nearly 2 years old, but he never eats. It’s so frustrating. I make a variety of foods and he has one or two mouthfuls then pushes away. Share advice or words of encouragement 😔

Dinner

Hi mums! If your little one doesn’t eat much of their dinner are you giving them something else? I usually will, but I’m now thinking do I let him realise that if he doesn’t eat his dinner he won’t get something else? Hate the thought of him being hungry, but how else will he learn? Help 😫
