Bonus: How to make baby friendly recipes the whole family can enjoy

March 06, 2022 02:00 - 23 minutes - 32.1 MB

We see online all the time “baby friendly recipes”, “baby led weaning recipes”, “6 month old food ideas”, etc. So it’s easy to think that we need special recipes for our babies. But here’s the truth…you don’t! Not only is it extra work to make one meal for you and a separate baby friendly recipe, it’s also not helpful to be eating different foods from your baby from the perspective of modeling eating behavior! Also, allowing baby to partake in “adult meals” means it’s that much easier to int...

#100: How to safely serve fish for baby led weaning

February 27, 2022 02:00 - 18 minutes - 25.3 MB

On this 100th episode of the My Little Eater Podcast, I’m bringing back my “how to serve” series. Because, at the end of the day, I want you to feel prepared to start solids with your little eater, and being confident in how to serve fish to your baby (among other things) will help with that!  Fish is an important food for babies, not just nutritionally where it’s an excellent source of protein for babies, it’s an iron rich food, and some types even have essential omega 3 fatty acids for pro...

#99: Why bigger pieces of food can be safer for baby led weaning

February 20, 2022 03:00 - 17 minutes - 14 MB

On this episode of the podcast, I’m teaching you about why the size of finger foods for baby led weaning is so important. There literally can’t be a “one size fits all” approach to preparing finger foods for your baby. Texture of foods and the development of various oral motor skills have to be considered as well. Understanding why larger pieces of food are often safer for your baby, not to mention easier for your baby to move around in their mouth, is key to seeing progression with baby led ...

#98: Purees vs. baby led weaning: Which one is better?

February 13, 2022 03:00 - 22 minutes - 17.6 MB

On this episode of the podcast, I’m calling it like it is and getting fired up about something I feel very strongly about…mixing purees and baby led weaning! But, more importantly, I’m here to tell you that spoon feeding is NOT wrong, or bad for your baby. Period. I listened to another podcast over the past weekend that sparked this episode of my own, and I’m not pointing any fingers, but I will explain why I wholeheartedly disagree with their stance on puree feeding and whether or not you ca...

#97: The Nutritional Power of Super Seeds for your Baby and Toddler

February 06, 2022 09:02 - 26 minutes - 17.9 MB

On this episode of the podcast I’ve got some special guests joining me to talk all about the benefits of flax seeds, chia seeds and hemp hearts - otherwise known as super seeds! Kim and Tina are the founders of Tiny Sprouts Foods, where they formulate seed mixes for babies and toddlers to help them meet their nutritional needs. And as a lover of the benefits of seeds, I’m always tossing them into dishes we make at home as an added nutrition booster because it’s just so easy! Kim and Tina exp...

#96: How do I Pick a Healthy Cracker for my Baby?

January 31, 2022 11:58 - 21 minutes - 17.1 MB

Today’s episode is all about healthy crackers for babies and toddlers, including what factors I consider when choosing the best crackers for your little one! Crackers can be a great finger food for your baby if you’re starting with baby led weaning, especially as a vehicle to eat those tougher purée textured foods like peanut butter, potatoes, hummus, puréed meat, mashed beans (the possibilities are endless here!) and make an easy grab and go snack for your toddler on busy days.  When it com...

#95: How to Get Your Toddler Eating More Vegetables

January 23, 2022 05:01 - 21 minutes - 17.1 MB

In this episode I’m going to be covering the million dollar question - and that’s how to get your toddler eating more vegetables! As parents, you know vegetables seem to be your worst enemy. Whether you have a picky eater or not, they just seem to be that one food that's literally impossible to get into your toddlers diet. But there are things we may be unintentionally doing that actually prevents them from trying them and ultimately eating them in the long run. Let’s face it, veggies techni...

#93: Why Does my Toddler Eat Differently at Daycare than at Home?

January 06, 2022 08:15 - 18 minutes - 15.4 MB

Now that the holidays are over, your family is likely getting back into a routine, and most toddlers are returning to daycare outside of the home. It never fails that every year I get comments from parents like “ Why does my toddler eat so well at daycare, but is such a picky eater at home?” or “HELP! Daycare is concerned about my toddler eating so little at meals and snack time!” If you have a toddler who literally won’t touch meals at home with a ten foot pole, it can have you questioning ...

In this episode I’m going to be covering a much requested topic at this time of year, and that’s everything you need to know when it comes to feeding your sick baby or toddler and what you can expect during this time.

This can be tough - especially if you have a picky eater and yo...

In this episode I’ll be giving you a breakdown of all my favorite baby products out there! As a new mom, it can be so hard to navigate the massive amounts of products for your baby that are on the market. And trust me, marketing of these products makes you feel like you should buy them all because you “might” need them! But, which ones do you really need? Which is a waste of money? I’ve done the guessing work for you! I’ve vetted each of these products myself, and go into detail on which pro...

#86: How and Why to Get Kids Cooking at an Early Age!

November 18, 2021 05:30 - 25 minutes - 18.1 MB

This week's episode is all about getting your kids cooking, and I couldn’t think of a better person to help me cover this topic than Katie Kimball of Kids Cook Real Food. Katie and I both agree - getting your kids in the kitchen as early as possible (and safely of course) can have SO many benefits, and instill lifelong skills that will follow them and flourish as they grow. I know from experience the benefits my family has had with getting my kids in the kitchen as early as I could! My boys ...

Breastfeeding on demand, also known as responsive feeding and feeding on demand, is recommended up to 6 months of age at least, but what about when you begin introducing solid foods?  It’s safe to say, we all know continued breastfeeding is recommended by the World Health Organization past 6 months and well into toddlerhood....

October 28, 2021 09:41 - 30 minutes - 21.4 MB

On this episode of the My Little Eater Podcast, Stephanie Alexandre from Alexandre Dairy Farm will be joining me to chat about something you may be hearing more about lately, and that’s A2 milk!

On this episode of the My Little Eater Podcast, I’m digging into what the true purpose of your baby’s growth chart (or toddler's) is, and what it tells you about their health and growth. Growth charts seem to be either an exciting or a stressful thing for parents, depending on where their child lands on the growth curves. And this is basically because most times, how your child is growing and reaching developmental milestones, all have to do with their overall health.  This podcast covers wh...

September 16, 2021 05:15 - 20 minutes - 16.6 MB

In this episode, I break down a very common concern among parents….mouth stuffing! I’m willing to bet that at one point or another you’ve seen your baby or toddler with cute little “chipmunk cheeks”. But, that moment of “Aww they’re so adorable!” is quickly replaced with panic when you think about how much food they’ve stuffed into their mouth, and how unsafe that must be for them!

You see, many of us spoon feed purees the same way that we’ve seen on television, or how other parents around us...

August 10, 2021 05:15 - 13 minutes - 9.8 MB

In the Season 3 finale, I’m sharing another clip from my most recent coaching call with one of my course grads. I had the pleasure of speaking with Megan about her 1 year old son, and let me tell you, her question is a common one! Many parents message me concerned about their child’s portion sizes - I hear worries from both ends of the spectrum...either they’re eating seemingly so little, or so much the meal feels never-ending. In Megan’s case, her son is eating for at least 40-45 minutes per...

In this episode, I talk to Emily, a grad of my online courses, about how to bump up the number of foods that her son Elliot eats. He’s always been a little bit of a picky eater, but recently it’s gotten worse and he’s now only eating about 4 foods!

#72: Help! My toddler won’t feed themself! 6 Tips to encourage self-feeding

July 29, 2021 05:15 - 23 minutes - 19.2 MB

In this episode, I’m talking about what to do when your toddler won’t feed themselves. Sometimes your toddler hasn’t been given a chance to feed themselves because maybe you thought they weren’t taking in enough nutrients on their own, or they were sick and you needed to give them some extra help until they recovered. The fact is, now they’ve come to expect you to feed them, and they aren’t interested in doing it themselves. So regardless of why it happened in the first place, we need to brea...

In this quick tip episode, I’m doing another installment in the “How to serve…” series - and this one comes as a request from a listener...honey! Let’s start by clarifying that honey - in ALL forms - is unsafe for your baby under 1 year of age. I go into why in the episode, so if this is news to you, please make sure you listen to that info because it can actually be very dangerous for babies.

July 13, 2021 05:15 - 16 minutes - 13.2 MB

In this episode, I’m continuing on with my “How to serve…” series, and today I’m talking all about peanuts! This is a food that many parents feel a lot of hesitation about, due to the fact that it’s the top allergen for children in North America. This fact can cause a lot of anxiety for parents, which may result in them delaying the introduction of peanuts, but the newest research tells us we need to introduce them early and often to decrease the chance of an allergy developing. So my goal is...

July 08, 2021 05:15 - 17 minutes - 13.3 MB

In today’s quick tip episode, I’m addressing a really common question that I get about whether or not it’s ok to use a kid’s table for toddlers.
