"How Do I Know If My Baby Is Ready for Solid Foods?...."

Imagine being a new parent..

excited yet nervous about introducing solid foods to their baby.

You have done all the right things,

but when it comes time to move beyond the basics with introducing new foods....

uncertainty creeps in.

You ask, “When should I start? What foods are best? What if my baby refuses to eat?"

"How do I make sure they’re getting enough nutrition?”

These are all questions every new parent has…

and the anxiety that comes with them is understandable.

After all, feeding is one of the most fundamental aspects of nurturing a child.

What begins as a simple concern about introducing new foods...

can snowball into bigger issues...

picky eating, food aversions, and mealtime battles…

that leave everyone frustrated and worried.

When you do not have clear guidance…

that uncertainty can quickly turn into stress,

both for the you and your baby.

 

But what if it didn’t have to be this way?

It’s heartbreaking to watch a family struggle through this

when we know that, with the right approach,

many of these challenges can be prevented before they even start.

 

That’s why we created this course.

We wanted to give parents a roadmap...

a clear, easy-to-follow guide that takes the guesswork out of feeding.

With the right information and strategies,

parents can confidently introduce new foods, progress through textures, and support their child’s feeding development

without the stress and anxiety that often comes with it.

We wanted to help parents avoid the painful, frustrating experiences we’ve seen so many go through.

By providing them with the tools and knowledge they need from the start,

we can prevent feeding challenges from taking root, setting the stage for a positive, healthy relationship with food.

 

And that’s why we are so passionate about our Online Course "Feeding Made Easy Peasy"...

because we believe that every parent deserves to feel confident and supported in this important journey.

 

We invite you to join us now.

Let’s work together to ensure that your child’s feeding journey is smooth, stress-free, and filled with joy from the very beginning.

What Others Are Saying...

 

Candace R., Mom ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"We looked forward to seeing Kathy each week and exploring new ways for Samuel to learn how to eat. She was always very helpful without ever being pushy. Our son is now 3 years old and his feeding tube has been gone for almost 6 months and he continues to gain weight."

 Jordan G., Mom and OT ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"Shelby helped us quickly with several practical suggestions for our daughter. We didn't understand why she wouldn't sit and eat at the table. A few simple suggestions later and she was sitting for longer periods of time and we were enjoying mealtimes together! I am so grateful."
