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 ...

My 18 month old has always been a fussy eater but now he will literally point to his snack cupboards, eat them no problem, but actual meals, it’s ALWAYS a battle. So I know if he was starving he would eat but at the same time, he’s just started nursery, and he’s going ALL day without eating anything at all! Get home...

I’m getting so stressed with how hard it is to get my son (19 months) to eat. He will eat snacks and things but not even one meal. I got a bit upset today because I just worry he isn’t eating enough for him to grow healthy. I’ve offered all his favourite dinners and it’s just not working. Today he had a mouth full o...

Hi Everyone, My Little boy who is coming up 17 month old is totally regressing against his food.. i can only get him to eat porridge or weetabix for all meals. He was such a good eater up until last friday, he had picked up a bug from nursery so i expected him not to eat as much, but now hes better, hes still the s...

My baby is turning 8 months on the 7th and I want to start introducing a wider variety of foods and textures. So far, she’s been exclusively breastfed while eating 2 purées a day. (A snack pouch, and dinner with oatmeal cereal). I also want her to learn how to feed herself. What are some of your babies favorite food...

Guys is this normal? My 20 month old daughter has always been served her own plate (same exact food we eat and same time we eat too). Her plate is almost untouched every single time. Of course we serve our own plate extra in case she eats from our plate as well but like she will not eat unless it’s from our plate al...

What the heck are we doing with kids who still don’t chew and swallow their food? My boy keeps the food in his mouth and close mouth cry’s until I dig it out 😵‍💫

My daughter’s daycare said they use both brands for the toddlers. I’m just curious which one of those do you all like best?

I am currently 2 weeks postpartum and we have been taking out food every single day since exhausted to cook.. curious to see if anybody else is like this and for those who started cooking meals when did you start?

I am genuinely sick and tired at this point. He refuses everything:(

My baby just turned 6 months a few days ago, so we have only tried solids about 3 times so far, but she absolutely hates it!! She makes a face like wtf is this and then won't put anymore in her mouth. She is EBF. It seems like other babies enjoy eating at first from videos I've seen, has anyone else had this experie...

My girl has been eating baby food for about two months now. How do I move forward to soft solids? Any ideas? BLW scares my mama heart🫣

I’m still breastfeeding and i’m with my son most of the day and he literally won’t eat anything I serve him he refuses, or throws on the floor. he is already lower percentile for weight and it’s very frustrating because i’m wasting food. I think he looks at me like i’m food but at this age he should be eating I see ...

Where is the time going! Baby will be starting foods in no time I feel! I've been looking into baby food recipes, since I'll have the time to make his own purées. I've seen a lot of the baby led weaning but I just don't think I'll feel comfortable going right to solids! That being said I started to look into baby c...

Our little one goes to bed at 7pm. However, my husband and I don't eat until 8:30ish by the time he's home from work, showered, walked the dog etc and I'm sorting our little one. I feel bad 😮‍💨 we do eat breakfast with her though and lunch when we are out and about (just not the same thing)

How often should you give your child vitamins with food/milk and when is it best for them to intake day or night?

Does anyone have ideas for easy party food ideas that are healthy and low carb? My husbands family all eats low carb/keto and several of my sons friends parents are vegan as well as low carb. Last year I ordered 10 pizzas for his 2nd birthday party and 7 were wasted. Pretty much only the kids ate the pizza and m...
