Our little spuddy buddy is one! And in true Georgi

Our little spuddy buddy is one! And in true Georgia fashion, she shared her cupcake with Queen Beyonce 🐓 on her big day. Swipe to see.

Reflecting on this past year, it’s been beautiful and messy and challenging and wonderful all at the same time.

Here’s a couple things I’ve learned from miss G:
(1) She’s given us gentle reminders to not take ourselves so seriously, tune into our emotions and most of all be kind to ourselves
(2) She’s shown us the power of intuitive eating and listening to our bodies. As a mom with adhd, being repetitive is easy for me so it’s pushed me out of my comfort zones to help her explore as many foods as possible while also normalizing repetition and eating foods that might not be our favourite.
(3) She helps me to be less critical of nutrition, and build confidence in myself that I’m doing a good job despite ADHD impacting my parenting, my ongoing messy house, not making everything homemade, not always having balanced meals, not always getting outside, relying on packaged foods, etc. A happy growing baby is enough.
(4) She’s shown me unconditional love regardless of what I look like or how my body has changed.
(5) And most importantly, she’s helped me help others with their relationships with food without even knowing it.

Here’s to you G. And thank you to all of you for coming along on this journey with us.

pov: you started to introduce solids to your baby’s diet… so NOW WHAT?

When your baby is first starting solid foods, they will likely eat a few bites.

They are learning a new skill and being exposed to new flavours and textures.

The first foods you should try introducing are:

1. Iron fortified infant cereal 
2. Baked Sweet Potato 
3. Avocado 
4. Banana 
5. Well cooked pureed or very soft meats, poultry or legumes 
Always ensure there is adequate supervision when your child is eating so you can react quickly if they do have a choking incident.

Want to learn more safety and nutrition around introducing solids? We have a full blog post with more information (go to the Articles section on our site).

PS. Our registered dietitians have slots open in August to help guide and support you and your family in their feeding journey. LINK IN BIO

Did you know that babies also show signs of fullness when they are done feeding? Look out for these cues during mealtime:

➡️ Turning their head away
➡️ Closing lips
➡️ Playing or biting nipple/bottle
➡️ Being distracted
➡️ Slowing their feed or stopping
➡️ Restlessness
➡️ Falling asleep

By paying attention to your baby’s fullness cues, you can make mealtimes less stressful and more intuitive.

What a day! We took our little spud to @learnwithe

What a day! We took our little spud to @learnwithearlybird’s kids play club at @uptownvictoria and wow it was incredible. We made lots of new friends and participated in so many fun learning activities that are also available in the Early Bird app to be able to recreate at home. Most exciting was being able to share some food and body empowerment stickers with everyone to help fight the good fight of supporting little ones to have healthy relationships with food and their bodies. If you’re in Victoria, highly recommend checking out this free learning centre for kiddos and downloading the @learnwithearlybird app!

This is your reminder that waffle makers are not just for breakfast. ⬇️

Turn leftover dinner into fun waffles for kids and babies - #BLW approved!🧇

Georgia is eating leftover chicken, broccoli and rice dinner chopped/mashed up or pulsed in the food processor with some shredded cheese, egg, flour/oat bran and chia seeds mixed it to create a batter then make waffles as usual and enjoy!

She gobbled it up. Any flour/egg combo or pancake mixture can be added to make a batter. Measure with your heart.

She’s been constipated 💩 lately so we’re adding extra fiber to her meals to help with regularity and trying to increase her fluids. 💧

Are fish safe to eat when pregnant? Well, it's a b

Are fish safe to eat when pregnant? Well, it's a bit more complicated than a simple 'yes' or 'no.' Let's dive deeper into this topic!

🌟 Sources of nutrients from fish & seafood:

Fish is packed with essential nutrients for your baby's development during pregnancy. However, some types of fish contain high levels of mercury, which can be harmful when consumed frequently. Mercury has the potential to affect the developing baby's nervous system.

🐠 Managing Mercury Intake:

To minimize mercury exposure, it's recommended to limit high mercury fish intake to 150g per month (equivalent to 1 cup) during pregnancy. By doing so, you can still enjoy the benefits of fish while ensuring the safety of your little one.

🦠 Food Safety Matters:

Apart from mercury, fish can carry bacteria, viruses, and parasites that can lead to foodborne illnesses. To reduce potential risks, it's advisable to avoid raw fish or meat during pregnancy, ensuring the safety of both you and your baby.

💡 Personal Choices and Access:

We want to acknowledge that limiting higher mercury fish or avoiding raw fish may not be feasible for everyone or align with personal values. We respect your choices and acknowledge that you are the expert when it comes to your body and pregnancy journey.

📚 Remember, every pregnancy is unique, and it's essential to consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice and recommendations.

Disclaimer: This information is for educational purposes only and may not apply to everyone. Your healthcare provider is the best resource for individual guidance.
