I gave my toddler a plate with buttered toast, fruit, and aubergine. She only picked the toast and ate almost all of it, without touching or tasting the other two. I just started BLW a few weeks ago. She's 19 months old. What can I do to encourage her to eat everything on her plate? I tried modeling by eating the fo...

I have a 8 month old and he used to eat 3 times a day (puree) he was such a good eater. But now when I put food to his mouth he tight lips his mouth and refuses to even take a bite.

If you have fed your baby weetabix, how much do they typically eat? 1 biscuit? Half a biscuit? More? I tried to feed 1, mixed with 1 finely chopped dried apricot and 3 mashed raspberries but she barely seemed to have much. I know it goes all mushy but it's hard to tell!

We just started weaning today and I’m following the suggested schedule in “How to Wean Your Baby”. My parents are visiting and my dad keeps saying “just give her porridge! Just give her banana!” We gave her broccoli for her first taste today and she wasn’t sure, but my husband and dad both told me “oh she hates it. ...

My daughter will be 9 months in a week. She hasn't been gaining any weight for about a month. She was always on about 35th to 40th centile on weight and 90th on height. Long and slim baby. She continues to grow taller but her weight drops to under 30th centile. Should I be concerned? She's doing okay with solid, no...

My little girl is 9 months and barely eats. I know good is for fun till they're 1 but what happens if when she turns 1 she still isn't eating and just relies on milk? When I have my 1 year check with the health visitor will it raise concerns if she isn't really eating?? I try so hard everyday but it doesn't help. I'...

Has anyone got any good recipes I can make my daughter for the freezer, ideally ones that can be microwaved straight from frozen. She absolutely loves broccoli and cauliflower risotto and lasagne!

Can my six month old have scrambled egg?

I’m due to start solids properly with bub in about 10 days when she turns 6 months. I started to introduce purées here and there around the 4 month mark but she just seems to be disgusted in it and only wants her bottles. She is showing all signs of readiness but once the food is actually presented to her, seems to...

Hello! My LO has always been a very fussy eater and so I had caved a while back into using screens or distractions to get her to eat well Recently, she’s becoming even fussier and I don’t feel the screens are helping much and would really love to cut them out and encourage her to feed herself. I really do feel li...

Is anyone’s little one refusing to eat? My little bit used to eat everything now he won’t touch a thing, he constantly ask me for milk and I don’t know what to do🥹

How are little ones with eating at the moment. Mines eating sooooooo little and I'm not sure at what point I should see someone about it if at all 🤷‍♀️ I know they go through fazes but feels like he's on a food strike. This has been about 2 weeks now
