Hi I’m a first time mom and I started giving my baby solids at 6 months just curious on how everyone did it. Did you do purées or baby led weaning and how many times a day did you feed them and how did you lead up to 3 times a day? Also if you did purées how did you transition your baby to actual food?

My lil guy hasn't eaten since earlier I KNOW He gotta be hungry but he fell asleep in the car and now refuses to eat anything. He just wants to go back to sleep and I've tried HARD to get him to eat! WHAT SHOULD I DO?? (please be nice I'm actually trying to figure out what's the best thing to do I don't want my baby...

My kid is at a phase where he is only eating noodles and chips and not really anything else! No chicken or anything, this just a phase ? What should I make him

Are your babies still eating pouches/pureed food as well as finger foods, or are they only eating “real” food now?

Hi mamas Please give some ideas for shop bought freezer food. My LO is 10months old. Am really struggling with cooking fresh food & all the prepping. I am sure you all going through the same. Please dont judge 😪 I love to cook for him but at times it just gets too much so would love to know your ideas.

She’ll put everything in her mouth except for food lol. I’ve tried baby led and also feeding her but she’s just so uninterested she’d rather bite her high chair and literally anything inedible instead 🤣 I’m thinking of maybe waiting a little longer or until her teeth come in, I don’t wanna force it when she doesn’t…

Is anyone elses 16 month old suddenly turned into the fussiest eater imaginable? My little girl has suddenly gone off everything except chicken nuggets, alphabites and potato waffles.. i offer breakfast, she pushes everything away, i offer lunch (sandwich etc) she throws it on the floor, i made spaghetti bolognaise ...

How do you get your toddlers to take medicine? I put it in his milk or his juice but he’s so full of cold he doesn’t want to take anything 😩😩

Have any of your guys kids ever had a day where they’re insatiably hungry?? My son will not stop crying asking for snack even though he ate his whole breakfast. He won’t let me eat either. If he sees me with food, he throws a whole-ass tantrum. I’m starving and he’s driving me insane 😓

Hoping for some reassurance as I find myself today, for some random reason, panicking about my baby not eating enough when she's on solids only. While I've offered some finger foods here and there, her main source of solids has been pureed. When I offer her finger foods (ex. cubed chicken, sliced banana, and noodles...

Hi ladies, has anyone served ready made fish fingers (frozen kind) to their babies? My LO is nearly 11 m/o.

My daughter has tonsillitis and she doesn’t want to eat and barely drink water and milk. What can I offer her to eat? Any advices? Thank you

How does your child behave during sit down dinners at restaurants? Our daughter really can’t sit still or we can’t enjoy a dinner out unless it’s one of the restaurants that have a playground. Is this what you experience too? How often to you go to sit down dinners with your LO?

I am feeling a little stuck on nursery lunches for my little boy. He has a milk allergy, wheat flour allergy (can have pasta), and egg allergy. I’m really struggling thinking of what to send for lunches to nursery. Can anyone tell me any ideas they use? Thank you 🙏🏼

How are you giving your little ones pasta? I’m making a beef ragu and says to give the baby the pasta whole - I’m using rigatoni - is this fine? Idk why I’m so scared? 🤣 she eats solids fine but she’s never had pasta whole before, only puréed

I wonder if others have similar experiences. My son has been going to childminding since February and has been eating very well during his time at the childminder. However, he has not been accepting food at home especially lunch but also sometimes dinner. Specifically, he doesnt accept anything apart from yoghurt,...

My LG is now moving and her favourite new “toy” is our dogs food and water bowl. She will tip out his food, and play in his water before throwing the bowls around. I can’t not have the bowls accessible to him, and therefore can’t have them out of her way else he would have to ask to go to his bowl. Does anyone have ...

He’s skipped lunch and refusing other snacks..I know he’ll defo eat weetabix - I just don’t want him to go to sleep hungry 😭

I’ve recently started weaning with my 6 month old, we are trialing a mixture of BLW (finger foods) alongside purées. Initially she seemed interested and actually enjoyed some of the foods but in the last few days she seems really disinterested/annoyed about the whole process, throws herself back in the high chair, d...

My baby started eating purée at 4m he’s now 9m and after 3 scoops of it he starts gagging like he doesn’t like it. I’ve tried sweet potato, carrot, mashed potatoes, broccoli, fruits literally everything and he keeps doing it with all of them. But I’m eating or his father is eating he wants to get whatever we’re eati...
