I read somewhere that your baby should eat family meals with you once they are over one year old. What are the restrictions do you follow? Like I won’t give sugar or too much oil etc.

Can I please ask or see the size of the food portions you offer your LO? I ever know how much is too much, I give as much as is eaten, start smallish and add more but I worry sometimes he gets too much (like fruits or biscuits especially when he just cant stop eating).

My LO has had 15 grams of ready brek, half a scrambled egg, 1 tangerine and 4 strawberries for breakfast. Is this enough?

I really hope I don’t sound stupid but I’m a first time mom and I recently started feeding my 6 months old baby solids. I know the container is usually good for 2 days in the fridge, but the next time I have to feed him do I need to warm it up? Also if I do for how long and do I warm it up in the microwave!?

Anyone else struggling to feed their 12 month old? I barely cook 1 meal for myself. Now I’m required to make 3 healthy meals that is not a chocking hazard for a baby with only 4 teeth 😳

What do you do when your toddler (child) is trying new foods, takes two bites then starts gagging by the third bite. They'll then Spit it out and refuse to try it again? I read on the "What to Expect" app that just because they'll spit it out it doesn't necessarily mean they don't like it. That, it's all just very ...
