Not eating a lot

My baby doesn’t seem to eat a very lot for her meals. She can eat a few mouthfuls of food and then turn her face to the rest of it. She’s 12m in 2 weeks. She seems to be a very picky eater, I will Sometimes have to put the food onto her lips so she tastes it minimal before she actually eats it. She also doesn’t like...

Throwing food

My boy was 9m old on the 15th October, and recently he’s started spending more time throwing food over the side of the high chair than eating it. Is anyone else’s babies doing the same? (Or is it just my cooking🥴) he used to LOVE food!

Anyone else's baby suddenly a fussy eater?

At nursery my boy will eat basically everything, he always used to be a good eater at home too but lately he only wants to eat cheese, bread and banana or milk. I feel like a rubbish mum because he just won't eat the things I make him! Anyone else suddenly experiencing fussiness?

Those with picky eaters, when did this phase end?

My toddler only wants pizza, chicken nuggets, fries and snacks. I offer balanced home cooked meals and they refuse to eat and ask for something else. Doctor said to let them eat what they want to get them to gain weight. They are tall and very lean. When will they grow out of this? 😢
