Simplifying Solids & Toddler Picky Eating

From first bites to toddler meals—helping you foster happy, adventurous eaters

My philosophy on starting solids is all about creating a low stress environment and using evidence-based research that encourages your baby to become a confident and adventurous eater.

I believe in introducing a variety of textures and tastes at your baby’s own pace, making mealtimes not only nutritious, but simple and stress-free.

Just like many other parts of parenthood, feeding and eating is a journey for you and your little one, and it’s a journey that may have many ups and downs. I aim to help parents navigate any challenges with patience and practical strategies to keep mealtime positive and enjoyable for the whole family.
