Online courses for baby and toddler feeding from a pediatric dietitian and mom
There’s still lots of confusion out there with regards to when the best time is to start solids. Some parents are being instructed to start as soon as their baby shows interest in food or other signs of readiness, others go strictly by age, and still others advise that solids aren’t even that important to […]
Probiotics. You hear of them and see them advertised everywhere – your mom is taking one daily to treat her bloating, your doctor may have recommended one for your colicky baby, and the yogurt aisle in the grocery store is screaming about all the probiotics it contains. What’s all the hype? Is it worth giving […]
Recently I posted on Instagram about a couple packaged products designed to make your life easier as a parent that are also pretty nutritious for your baby. Well… except for one caveat. Salt. Salt is talked about a LOT in the baby world because it’s one of the main things we want to limit in […]
It’s summer time and guess what… no one wants to have to stay inside when it’s beautiful and sunny out! That being said, when you have a BLW baby, sometimes the hassle of figuring out what to feed them while travelling or on the go seems like it’s more work than it’s worth. But it […]

Did you know that the first type of cup that should be introduced to baby is an open cup? Not a sippy cup. Seems counterintuitive right? Let’s learn about the reasons why. When your baby begins solid food, they will begin to need just a little extra water (1-2 oz./day at 6 months) in their […]
Ahhh, food throwing. It’s like the ultimate test of your patience…can you keep your cool? Can you? Can you? First off, know this. Most babies will go through this stage, and it is totally normal. Does that make you feel better? Didn’t think so. But maybe you can take comfort in knowing that at least […]
It’s so common (seriously…so…so…common) to hear concerns voiced from parents who are doing baby led weaning about how little their baby seems to be eating. It freaks us out, especially when we have nurses or doctors telling us that they should be eating x amount of meals per day (each meal containing x amount of […]
One of the readiness signs for starting solids is that your baby can sit up independently. This usually happens right around 6 months of age, but can be different for every baby.
