Feed your baby with confidence...

I may be an infant feeding expert now, but when my three girls were born (all within about 3 1/2 years of each other), I was a new dietitian struggling with postpartum exhaustion, overwhelmed by my new responsibilities, and second-guessing my parenting decisions. Most of all, I was worried that my babies weren't getting the nutrients they needed to thrive and grow.

I've been where you are. It's hard - and it's not easy to find the kind of support that actually gives you some relief. 

When it came to starting my girls on solid foods, what I really wanted was for someone I trusted to come along and tell me exactly what to do - what to make, how to prepare it, when to feed it, and what to combine it with.

What I DIDN'T know at the time (no one did!) was that how we feed babies during infancy can actually help reduce the risk that they will end up with food allergies.

An amazing body of new research has fueled a seismic shift in infant feeding guidelines over the past several years. It's exciting that we now know so much more about how to prevent food allergies and raise adventurous eaters, but the shifting guidelines have also led to a lot of confusion among parents about how to start solids.

That's why, when I wrote my book about starting babies on solids using finger foods, Simple & Safe Baby-Led Weaning, and it quickly became a best-seller, I knew parents were hungry for guidance and needed a proven roadmap to help them navigate these early months of feeding. 

So, I created this 12-Week Meal Plan in response to the thousands of new parents who read my book and reached out to me for more information, saying they loved that my book taught them a lot about the "how" of feeding - they now needed a proven roadmap providing the "what." 

Starting solids can feel overwhelming...

I have so much empathy for where you are. You’re already exhausted from lack of sleep and adjusting to life as a new parent. You’re overwhelmed by the reams of conflicting info you’re finding online about starting solids. You've heard that offering top allergens during infancy can help reduce the risk of food allergies - but you don't know what to do about it. The infant feeding Facebook groups are overly judgemental. Scrolling for answers on Instagram ends up being an enormous time suck. Cooking/pureeing/freezing baby food sounds like hours of work for which you don’t have time or bandwidth. You may not have a lot of support, family or friends around to help and the pandemic has only made it harder to connect with other new parents. 

Just tell me what to do...

You want a simple, stress-free, non-judgmental, proven roadmap on how to feed your baby in a way that sets the stage for a long, healthy life -- but you can’t find one you trust. I know how this feels... As a registered dietitian and infant feeding expert - and more importantly, as a single mom of 3, I know the challenges of postpartum well. I know how helpful it is when someone you trust comes along and just takes a massive load of responsibility off your plate. How hard it can be as a first-time parent to adjust to your new role, care for your baby (and laundry list of additional responsibilities) AND stay on top of the latest research on infant care. When it comes to starting solids, you could hire a dietitian and infant feeding expert to help - but the services are expensive. You could join a baby feeding Facebook group, but the information provided isn't vetted and the groups aren't necessarily run by credentialed experts. You could buy a 'starting solids' cookbook with recipes, but how would you know which recipes to feed at which stage, and without meal plans, how would you make a plan for allergen introduction and keeping top allergens in your baby's diet at a regular cadence? 

Imagine never having to wonder,"What should I feed my baby today?"

The struggle is real, the stakes are high, and there is a critical window of time during infancy when allergen introduction is especially important. After hearing from thousands of parents struggling with these same challenges, I created this clear, simple, baby-led feeding 12 Week Starting Solids Meal Plan to reduce the stress and overwhelm of starting solids and provide you with all of the meal plans, recipes and food sizing/texture guidance you need to enjoy the first 12 weeks of your baby’s feeding journey -- without ever having to wonder, “what should I feed my baby today?”

What's in the e-Book?

Baby-feeding cookbooks may offer lots of recipes, but no comprehensive plan for allergen introduction, and little guidance on how to offer foods sized according to your baby's developmental stage. In my Safe & Simple 12-Week Meal Plan, you'll get: 

• A clear, complete roadmap to the first 12 weeks of your baby's feeding journey into solids foods
• Guidance on how, when and how often to offer the top 9 allergens 
• Advice on food texture and sizing for all foods included in the meal plans
• Original recipes that work not only for your baby, but also for the entire family
• Thoughtfully balanced meal suggestions that provide the nutrients babies need to thrive and grow 
• A complete plan that keeps top allergens in baby's diet 2-3x per week once introduced and tolerated
