What are your little ones eating? My lg is 71/2 months and I’m trying to think of foods she can just eat with her hands she eats a lot of veg sticks and broccoli but seems when I look at tik tok mums they’re giving their 5 month olds a whole chicken leg😂 so now I’m abit confused to what things are safe for my baby…
Hey everyone! My baby is 4 months and the doctor said we can start giving her green veggies. So today we boiled broccoli and blended it a with breast milk…boy did she LOVE it! What was your baby’s first food and how did they respond? Also did they get constipated or get diarrhea after?
Anyone else’s almost 2 year old a suddenly insanely picky eater? I swear he won’t eat anything all day or he’ll eat nothing but 5 slices of bread and that’s it 😂🤦🏼♀️ is this normal??
Yes! he is 10.5 months and hates chicken I cooked in many ways and he just hates it🥲 please advise me in what can I do?
I need more ideas for my toddler So far I have original flavor veggie straws which might be too salty but I think they're okay once in a while and he it's the kind where you can just hold one in each hand he likes straws and pens and markers and so I also have unsalted pretzel sticks which she finds fun sometimes ...

Hi ladies, last night my toddler fell off the sofa and face planted into my coffee table. This left him with a small cut on his chin, lip, and along his gum line. I kept him home from school and he stayed with my mom and at some point today the cuts turned into ulcers. Does anyone know how to treat mouth ulcers on a...
How many meals/first tastes are you doing? My baby is 6 1/2 months old and ATM I’m giving her some breakfast which is usually porridge with an Ella’s kitchen fruit pouch in or some toast (the odd time I’ve given her a little bit of both as I’m trying to lean more towards doing baby led and still learning about how t...
Hi moms! What baby food do you give your little ones? I've been reading a lot about heavy metals found in some baby foods, and it's making me nervous about what to feed my baby. I'm looking for recommendations on brands that are known for being safe and transparent about their ingredients. I also need suggestions fo...
We are on a very slow weaning journey with a very gaggy baby. He is getting the hang of melty sticks now after lots of practise. What did people find were the easiest finger foods to start with in terms of least gag inducing/least choking risk? My baby is good at picking up the food and getting it to his mouth, it’s...
When your baby hit 6months how did you introduce solids without them choking. My baby is 5 1/2 months, can sit up and shows interest in what I’m eating. Still waiting for Peds approval to dive into solids but have let him taste test some things. I tried potatoes (mashed but not super smooth). He seemed to liked i...
Ok so recently my boy has been eating soo much! He still breastfeeds on top of this. He ate all of this for lunch plus banana, strawberries and blueberries. I gave him a smaller portion yesterday but it was all gone in literally a matter of minutes and he was looking around for more so today I gave him this! Should ...
Is anyone aware what the average sugar intake should be if any for babies? My health visitor has told me I should feed my baby custard and put jam on toast to get her weight up. Does anyone else feed their babies custard? Just concerned about the sugar even the low sugar custard is sugary.
I’m 13 weeks with my first baby and I’m struggling to eat 5 or more fruit and veg a day. Does anyone have any good recipes or tips they used to get more veg in? Feeling guilty for not always having enough for baby. I enjoy apple, cucumber and oranges with breakfast and lunch currently, so looking to expand.
Hello Mama's 👋🏼 We have a very lovely 19 month old boy who up until now has eaten pretty much whatever we give him but over the last 3+ weeks he's completely refusing to eat ANYTHING that isn't pasta at dinner time 🥲 He has Weetabix/porridge/pancakes for breakfast. Eggs/avocado/toast/sandwiches/quavers for lunch…
He's had his 1 year jabs today. He had a big bowl of strawberry and banana weetabix before we left (like 2 weetabix, a whole banana and lots of strawberrys), and then for lunch he had cheese and avocado on toast with a kiwi and a yoghurt and ate most of it, left a few pieces of toast and some kiwi slices. But now it...
My son just turned 1 and hasn’t really had interest in eating solids and isn’t gaining weight appropriately.. The Dr suggested pediasure shakes but my son hates them so any advice on high calorie foods/snacks that are a favorite of your toddlers are greatly appreciated! I’m willing to try anything
How old can a toddler be to start eating sandwiches such as PB&J? Does it depend on age, skill level, or amount of teeth?? Should I cut up bite sized pieces?
Can we discuss dinners.... my little Theo used to be great at eating and trying new things (once we got over the initial gagging until he was sick situations) but now, at dinner time, won't have anything. Pesto pasta used to be a winner if I was struggling with what to give him, but now even that goes straight on th...
My two year old has always been a fussy eater and has a very limited diet, even when being offered to try any type of food or try any persons food. Recently he is barely even eating his favourite/safe foods and it’s becoming even more of a struggle to get him to eat anything! Has anyone gone through this when their...
