Chicken nuggets. Plain pasta. Goldfish. Again.

If that’s dinner at your house most nights, you are so not alone. We hear this exact thing in counselling on a regular basis… “I don’t know what else to give them, they’ll only eat X, Y, and Z.”

Here’s the part that’s hard to hear but SO important... food ruts usually aren’t about your toddler being picky. They’re about the pattern that’s built up around meals (the short-order cooking, the grazing all day, the pressure to just get SOMETHING in them).

The fix isn’t more pressure, or bribing them to try new foods. It’s structure, schedules, and boundaries. Division of Responsibility means you decide what, when, and where... your toddler decides if and how much. One offered meal for everyone, with a safe food included, on a consistent schedule.

This isn’t about being strict. It’s about giving your toddler the best possible chance to actually get hungry, sit down, and explore what’s in front of them.

If you want a step-by-step plan built around your exact food rut, this is exactly what we help with in 1:1 counselling...

If your toddler is starting to show those early picky eating red flags…

(Not sitting for meals, begging for snacks, only wanting the same “safe” foods, refusing to even touch new foods 😬)

…don’t wait until it becomes a full-blown battle.

Most picky eating doesn’t appear overnight. It creeps in little by little - often from tiny, unintentional parenting shifts we don’t even notice:

→ Repeating the same meals
→ Offering backup foods when a meal is refused
→ Allowing snacking away from the table
→ Micromanaging how much or how they eat

The good news? You can reset and get back on track with calm, confident boundaries.

I’m sharing exactly what I’d do (as both a mom AND pediatric feeding dietitian who’s helped hundreds of families) the moment I saw those first signs:

A full hard reset → role clarity → positive mealtimes → joyful connection ❤️

You thought starting solids would be about watching your baby discover all these exciting new foods… And instead, you’ve found yourself worrying about every. single. bite 😩

“Are they eating enough and getting enough iron?” 
“Why are they still struggling with textures?” 
“Are we behind?”

These are questions we hear ALL the time. But here’s the thing… there isn’t one magic trick that can answer those questions for every baby.

Because feeding concerns are often about the whole picture:  How much milk they’re having, their feeding schedule, what textures they’ve experienced, their oral motor skills, their mealtime environment, their current intake, their medical and feeding history.

Which is why we offer counselling services that are personalized for YOUR baby. We take the time to understand what’s actually going on and create a step-by-step plan you can realistically implement.

➡️ We’re currently offering 20% OFF 1:1 counselling for a limited time (offer ends September 6th).

We know gagging is SO scary to watch. But there is no magical age where you can introduce textures and avoid the gagging. It doesn’t exist.

When you start solids around 6 months, your baby’s gag reflex is actually at its most active... and on purpose. It’s sitting right at the front third of their tongue, and it is HIGHLY sensitive. So yes, they’re going to gag. But that reflex? It’s right there doing its job, keeping them safe while they figure out this whole eating thing.

If you hold off on textures until 9, 10, even 11 months hoping to skip the scary part... your baby is STILL going to gag. Except now? That gag reflex has moved to the back of the tongue. Which means when it triggers, it’s harder for them to manage as it’s further back in the mouth.

Waiting to offer advanced textures in hopes of skipping gagging means you’ll also miss the window where texture progression comes most naturally to babies between 6-9 months of age.

There is no shortcut here. There is no version of this where gagging doesn’t happen at some point. But there IS a version where you feel CONFIDENT knowing what’s normal, what to expect, and exactly what to offer and when... And that’s what the Texture Timeline is for!

🥜 Peanuts and tree nuts are both top allergens and should be introduced to babies at around 6 months of age. Since peanuts are legumes, not nuts, they must be introduced separately from tree nuts.

I know you’re thinking - there’s a lot of different tree nuts! Of course, it may be hard to get through all of them, so don’t stress about it too much. Just focus on the ones you consume the most or may more commonly come in contact with.

➡️ How you serve peanuts or tree nuts can depend on your baby’s stage of development or feeding style. It doesn’t matter whether you’re starting with purees or finger foods, there are many options for including them in your baby’s diet!

𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗲: Whole peanuts or tree nuts should never be given to your baby, as this is a top choking hazard. Big globs of nut butter can also be a choking hazard.
