You’d think I have things mastered and be well prepared when it came to starting solids with baby number three.\u00a0 You’d think I would have a plan for what to feed her, and even have food pre-prepped and frozen.<\/p>\n

But nope.\u00a0 That’s not how I roll…<\/p>\n

Partly because I can be unorganized when it comes to my personal life (don’t look in my purse!).<\/p>\n

Partly because I didn’t know how she would roll.<\/p>\n

Sienna was ONLY about the purees, being spoon-fed and staying clean (my former extremely picky eater).<\/p>\n

\"Organic<\/p>\n

Naomi was ONLY about the solids, self-feeding and loved getting messy (she’s my independent child and former developmental picky eater).<\/p>\n

\"Organic<\/p>\n

So I had no idea what to expect with Mackenzie.<\/p>\n

\"Organic<\/p>\n

And she turned 6 months just like that!<\/p>\n

After helping hundreds of parents with picky eaters<\/a>, including my own, I know how important it is to have a plan for HOW to feed our kids.\u00a0 This might shock you, coming from a Nutritionist.\u00a0 But WHAT to feed our kids is secondary.<\/p>\n

As long as it’s made with quality ingredients, it’s primarily whole foods, and it’s not honey (in the first year of life)…you’re doing amazing.<\/p>\n

Why do I care so much about HOW you feed your child?<\/h2>\n

Because research shows that how we feed our babes – right from starting solids – can influence their relationship with food for the long term.\u00a0 I made a lot (A LOT) of mistakes with my first daughter, Sienna.\u00a0 I was desperate to get her to eat so I pulled out all the tricks:<\/p>\n

…sneaking in foods<\/p>\n

…only feeding her kid-friendly foods<\/p>\n

…bribing her with dessert<\/p>\n

…making her try everything<\/p>\n

…and the list goes on…<\/p>\n

It took us a while to rebuild trust at the table and get her to the point she’s at today – an AWESOME eater.<\/p>\n

So I put a lot of focus into HOW we fed Mackenzie, along with having confidence that WHAT we fed her was quality, nutrient-dense foods.<\/p>\n

Baby Led Weaning or Purees?<\/h2>\n

Both!\u00a0 We actually used a mix of baby led weaning or baby led feeding, as well as purees.\u00a0 Here’s why:<\/p>\n
