Baby Food And You: How To Sidestep The Overwhelm

Sign Up for my free, online webinar, “Baby Food Intro” here.

If you have a picky eater at home, this one's for you.

As parents, we all want what's best for our children. Ensuring they have a healthy relationship with food and get the right nutrients to grow, thrive, and avoid deficiencies is usually a top priority.

However, we can all agree that reaching these goals can be tough, especially as our family goes through different stages of life.

One of the biggest challenges for me as a new Mom who didn't have friends with babies, was information overwhelm!

And as a person who values information and education, I felt like I needed to do all of my own research. I was soon frustrated and discouraged because so many books offered conflicting advice or were clearly biased. On top of that, it was also incredibly time-consuming!

Similarly, my patients going through perimenopause and menopause face the same frustrations. There’s a lack of discussion about what to expect, which symptoms are related to hormone changes versus aging, and what treatment options are available. When they seek additional support, they’re often told that nothing can be done or are simply advised to take the pill or OCP (which may work for some, but not for everyone).

You don’t need to do this alone!

Building a healthcare team to support you with these transitions is so valuable.  We can guide you through the expectations (VERY different for every individual) and treatment options.

This is why I love running Baby Food Introduction Classes - so overwhelmed parents don't feel like they need to do it all, but leave with the most accurate information. 

I have read the books, the PubMed Articles, the latest Pediatric guidelines, walked my own three kids through it, and supported 100s of patients through it. I sit down with you for an hour online and you’ll leave feeling confident about where to start or where to go next.

One more thing before you go!👋

I’m passionate about ensuring every family has access to the knowledge they need to support their baby, which is why I’m offering a FREE online class to cover all the essential aspects of this journey on February 26th 2025 @ 9:00AM EST.

Think about a breakfast of just simple carbohydrates, like a muffin. When you eat that, your blood sugar spikes quickly—too quickly, actually. Your body responds by releasing a large amount of insulin, and your blood sugar drops just as fast.
