Is anyone on this yet? My daughter is still on 3 bottles of milk (formula) haven’t started her onto 🐮 milk yet because she’s been constantly sick from starting nursery 🙄 but I am DREADING IT. Convinced my child is the world’s messiest eater, I have all the fancy bibs, somehow she still gets covered, rubs it in her…

My baby just turned 6 months old and I don’t know where to start or how to start feeding my child. I’m excited and overwhelmed. Any tips? Does everything have do be mixed with milk(breast milk/ formula)?

Hey mamas! Seeking recommendations on how to teach my LO how to eat a liquidy food without destroying it all over his high chair and our floor. For reference, he loves eating with his own hands so any dry food is a big win, but I’m of Indian origin and want to feed him all the lentils & gravies that I grew up eatin...

My daughter will take spoons fulls of baby food just fine but anytime I try to give her solids (banana, avocado, anything) she gags and throws up. Does anyone else's baby do this? My first did not she just refused to eat solids and only drank formula well past her first birthday. Jealous of all moms with the big eat...

Any recommendations for weaning books? I’m little bit lost of term what to give him next. I’ve been giving him fruit and vegs. I haven’t started with any allergents food or cereales. Thanks

Anyone else’s toddlers decide they don’t need food to live all of a sudden? My 18 month old was the best eater, then all of a sudden he’s decided that he doesn’t want to eat. I mean like anything. I’ll still give him all 3 meals but he barely takes any bites, and isn’t as big of a snack eater as he was a week ago. ...

The food waste is so real that I'm cooking minimally now but there's still stuff and since he doesn't eat all of it I end up making what I like to eat too and then eat what he doesn't finish

I want to take my little one to a cafe for lunch just me and him but I’m worried he’ll make a HUGE mess when eating now that he’s accustomed to a whole lot more food. He also has a habit of throwing foods. Any tips to help?

I feel like I feed my daughter the same stuff all the time. Any of you mamas have any suggestions.

My daughter is fully eating solids and is doing great! I do allow a puree pouch as a snack sometimes. Is that okay??

I told my girl that she can’t have a chocolate yogurt unless she finishes her dinner but she wasn’t finishing her dinner so she got the dining table chair and pushed it against the fridge and climbed on the chair to try and open the fridge herself! I can’t believe her mind! Anyone else? She shocks me everyday lol!

My husband is trying to lose weight, and has been doing it by not eating very much and then when he does eat he’s eating meat and high fat foods like bacon, egg etc. technically it’s similar to a keto/atkins diet. He currently weighs approximately 18 stone and is 6ft tall so he is pretty overweight. We have been b...

Hi all, i’m a first time mum to be and i’m really stuck on what to do with my baby when they are here. I am wanting to combi feed but can’t find much information on it and the information i am getting is not very helpful and quite frankly frustrating. so any mums who combi feed right from the start can you share som...

I am usually so so careful to make sure that my 8m old only eats things/only has things added to his food that are a green on the intake chart every time. I have never given him anything high or even medium in salt or sugar as the HV warned against this. Recently he has been eating the same meals as us, slightly twe...

What do you feed your baby at meal times? Mine still has no teeth and it makes me nervous to give him much because of that. But he's showing more interest in actual food than his bottles so I need to make sure he's getting good nutrition. Any ideas?

My LO is happily eating breakfast, fruit, packaged baby snacks, finger food like toast, eggs, pinwheels, pancakes etc for lunch. But what are you giving for dinner? He isn’t super hungry as loves his milk still but he doesn’t like pouches and ive tried bolognese, veg curry, mini burgers but he’s not keen and only ha...

Hi, mamas! 👋🏼 My baby is now 6 months old. He is exclusively breastfed, and we’ve started introducing solids, but it hasn’t been straightforward. Before weaning, he showed a lot of interest when we were eating or holding something in our hands. However, when we began feeding him, he would show some interest but…

Isaac was great eating mashed potatoes and chicken and veg for me but now he doesn’t even touch it any advice on what to do

Already done toast, pancakes, eggs, baby crisps, biscuits etc. was doing purées and he’s still having probably 1 meal a day with purées but he seems to enjoy feeding himself more 💙 any ideas would be really appreciated :)
