Anyone else doing the “100 foods before 1” Here’s what we’re up to so far. Don’t judge me, there’s no parsnip emoji & carrot was the closest thing 🙄

Hi all! Quick question- I found these Beech Nut Organic Purées that I want to try feeding to my 6.5 month old. I plan to make my own purées day to day but figured it would be good to have some premade on hand just in case. I’ve read a lot of horror stories around pre-packaged baby food and wanted to see if anyone ha...

Anyone else 20 month old litterally not eating anything! He has no interest in food picks at it eats the tiniest amount then throws the rest! It’s really stressing me out that he’s not eating… he’s BF too so won’t drink cows milk! He’s a small boy as it is only 9kg so it makes me worry even more! Can’t spoon fee...

I need some meal ideas for 2 adults and a just turning 1 year old. Just moved out my mums house so im stuck on different meals and finding myself cooking the same meals.

Literally every other meal I succeed on, but breakfast has been hard to plan. Baby doesn't like eggs, I'm trying to avoid sodium, and he also rejects oatmeal/overnight oats because I now think it's too sweet. I'm also lactose intolerent, so yogurt that early is a no-go. Thoughts on breakfast ideas? Im trying to do h...

Baby boy turned 7m a week ago, he's doing very well with his food - 2 meals replaced - lunch and afternoon meal - more on the puree side. For lunch we just cook extra meat/veg when we do roast and don't season them, and that's what I make purees for him from. My question is - as far as I'm aware seasonings were to...

I have a nearly 4 month old that loves to watch me and his daddy eat, is it safe to give him tasters ? I'm not talking about solid food I mean more like a tiny bit of ice cream on my pinky so he can try different liquid kind of foods

What do your little ones eat that they can easily feed themselves? My LO is very fussy and I need more easy lunch ideas that she can just get on with and eat. Maybe not extremely messy options though 🤦🏻‍♀️😂 I feel like pasta and a sandwich are the only ideal ones but can’t just give those daily 🫠😂! Thanks x

My 1 year old goes nursery Monday-Wednesday and I usually pick him up around 4:30/5 depending on my last meeting of the day. I find that he doesn’t eat dinner much at home but I know he has plenty of food throughout the day at nursery including tea which varies of course. Should i expect him to eat dinner at home if...

We are still barely on two meals a day and 4/5 bottles of milk, she seems to refuse breakfast. struggling!!

My little one goes to the childminder- it’s been 2 months however I feel like she would enjoy being in nursery more. Reasons: 1-Childminder doesn’t have her in a routine, some days I pick her up at 2:30 and the childminder says she hasn’t had lunch - not because she didn’t eat but because she hasn’t given it to her....

I'm worried my toddler drinks too much water. He chugs it loads, especially at mealtimes, although he constantly has a cup available if he wants it. I'm wondering how much water everyone else's LOs drink?

Does anyone give their toddler a bed time snack? What do you give them?

Whats everyone feeding their baby now days? My boy will be 8 months in a week. The last few weeks he has shown a significant change in appetite and desire for food. I’m finding myself rushing to figure out what and how to feed him. We started with purées after 6 months but only 2-3 times a week as he was experimenti...

let me tell yall , she tore every bite of this plate UP tonight ! i offered her 1 whole pancake of her favorite carrot/sw.potato/potato & cheese fritters, steamed zucchini finger, 1 whole ripe strawberry, and a spoonful of cottage cheese. i don’t blame her about the fritters though because if i could eat all of them...

My son can eat a lot for a 2 year old ... Like he can eat a 10 piece nugget no problem along with a large amount of other things is that normal? Updated of how much he ate of that amount in comments

So I know I should allow LO to choose what to eat from her plate, but she is off of vegetables lately, she won’t get broccoli (which she loved) nor any other vegetable, can you help me with ideas, recipes that your LOs love?

How much does your little eat? So I’ve done BLW as my little does no like baby food unless it’s yogurt. Well last night we had hot dogs for dinner. Baby of course had the hotdogs fourthed and then diced from there. Babe ate 4.5 dogs! In one setting. Big kid 99th % across the board, does stop eating on own… but can 1...

I keep seeing store bought baby foods are really bad but the beechnut baby food I give my baby usually only has the vegetable it is and then water in the ingredients list. Just confused. Do I need to just make my own ? Or is it fine as long as it doesn’t have so many ingredients? Same with cereal. It only says it ha...

hey! so my 20 month old baby boy barely eats now 😭 like some days he eats some days he survives off two bites and that’s it. is that normal ? or should i consults with his doctor
