Hey! Any ideas what I can give my nearly 8 month old. Im not the best at cooking and I'm worried I keep repeating the same things like toast etc Any ideas welcome

Please share your essentials for baby weaning. Just want to start with purees and porridge. Which brand is good and what will I need to feed baby. Also how to help baby digest purees at this stage? Anyone doing their own purees and if doing so how are you doing it?

I started weaning my baby a month ago now and he’s never been huge fan of it however we had a good week last week where he was eating a lot more, However since the weekend he has completely stopped and won’t even open his mouth at all so is getting no food Is this normal ? Has anyone else experienced this ?

Hi parents!! My son turned 3 this month, and he still can’t really feed himself using utensils. His daycare provider told my husband yesterday that he’s “developmentally delayed” which no one on his health care team has ever mentioned in the past (he was born a preemie at 30+3). Any tips or advice other than repeate...

I’m not 100% sure as I’ve had a Google and I’m getting told loads of different things 😂 Can I give my 6 month old soft cheese? Like Philadelphia? The nhs website says to avoid it because of listeria but I swear pasteurised soft cheese is safe from that?

Hi, My baby is 12 weeks and he's always hungry. He's breastfed and sometimes we use formula to top up when we're on the go. I was wondering if it would be okay to start giving baby rice before 4 months? I was thinking to start 3.5 months , but did anyone give their babies baby rice before 4 months?

Hey mamas, I’m sure it’s asked a lot but any ideas for quick easy meals and lunchbox ideas for nursery please? My little ones not really into fish or eggs and feel like we’re getting into a rut of the same meals and I want to broaden her horizons, she’ll be 3 in November. Thanks!

I really wanna start giving my son real meals but idk where to start. I've cut up some spaghetti really fine and he did really good with it but I have no idea what other foods can be similar to help transition. Not foods you just hand them and let them gnaw on but actual meals

Hi….. I started weening my 8 month old at around 6 months and she is doing really well but I’m struggling with the finger food side what do you all give babies for finger foods other than the crisp bits z Thanks

My 7 month old is eating upwards of 48 oz a day on top of baby cereal in the morning and purée in the evening. I feel like I’m overfeeding him but he is always interested. He will never turn away and cries if I cut off his bottle early/give less. Is this weird to anyone else?

What are some good ways to get 5 year old to stop putting things in their mouth? I'm ready to start popping their mouth or hand 🙄.

So my little girl’s Dr told us we could start her on rice cereal at 5 months old but I keep seeing negative stuff about rice cereal. Would using an oat based cereal be fine? Just a bit concerned 🥹 due to the levels of arsenic in rice cereal.

My baby Turin’s 6 months on Saturday and I’ve made about three purées(carrots+potatoes , banana+ breast milk/avocada+egg yolk+breast milk which he rejected asides puree/Aptamil what solids can I offer coz I don’t wanna force puree on him if he does not like them

I need help my 3yo son eats horribly and the doctor just says its normal and to still introduce veggies and stuff with things he does like but its not helping. He’s getting so constipated and cries. Last month his stomach was hurting i took him to the ER. Im trying probiotics and fiber gummies but he doesn’t really ...

My daughter will be 6 months on 10/12 and we were given the go ahead to start solids at 4-months. Didn’t really jump in until about 5 months. But very slowly. She tried mango a few weeks back and broke out in a few hives on her face and they went away within an hour or so. Today we tried apple for the first time...

So ... my 8 month old eats anything, can feed herself and is super independent. Also she's got crazy cute hair (that is a nightmare to manage as it reaches almost in her mouth). I go out with people and it's easy to feed her and I get compliments ... but than when it's and opportunity for her to explore a new tast...

With my first son we would just load a spoon and let him feed himself and we started this as soon as he started eating (approx 5 months). As a result he started scooping his food just before 7 months. I thought this was pretty cool but then I saw things that sounded like you shouldn't give your child a spoon til th...

Have any of you moms started solids for you LOs? What foods did you start with? And if not do you plan on starting blw or purées? Let’s talk more about this scary topic😆

My daughter just turned one and has become extremely difficult during most meal times (not breakfast). She will be eating her food happily until she sees me eating which makes her then start to make monkey noises until I give her some or start hysterically crying if I do not. I am so done. We are eating the exact sa...

Has anyone else’s toddler suddenly become really fussy with their food? She has never been a fan of “typical lunches” but now she is refusing a lot of foods she would eat regularly. Any tips?
