    068: Ultimate Baby Nutrition: What Foods to Start With and How to Introduce Them
    May 7 2025

    Starting solids is such an exciting milestone in your baby's life. However, it can be a confusing time for parents filled with uncertainty and a lot of questions about how and when to take this step.

    I want to help mamas find an approach to starting solids that feels right for you and your baby — whether baby-led weaning, purees, or a combination of both. This is an incredible opportunity to help ensure that your baby establishes a strong start right from the beginning and I am here to help.

    In today's episode, I share a general overview about what are the best foods to start with, when to start feeding the baby, and what method is best. There is no right or wrong, just what works for you and your family.

    I hope you get some clarity and confidence for starting solids with your baby from this episode. Enjoy!

    • My approach to starting solids with Sarelle & Hayden
    • The best first foods for your baby
    • The benefits of delaying grains + other foods
    • Tips for starting purees

  • 067: This Daily Habit Will Transform Your Kids Oral Health (and Long-Term Health) with Brynn Snyder

    067: This Daily Habit Will Transform Your Kids Oral Health (and Long-Term Health) with Brynn Snyder
    Apr 23 2025
    On the show today I have Brynn Snyder, CEO and Co-Founder of SLATE Electric Flosser. She is a mom of 5 and along with her husband created a sustainable, effective, and easy-to-use electric flosser that is disrupting the industry. The SLATE flosser is incredible! It is an electric toothbrush with a floss head that will transform your approach to flossing. As the daughter of a dentist, I have always flossed but not very well considering I have all my wisdom teeth. It was always so hard to get back there and now with the SLATE flosser, I can. It makes my gums feel incredible like they have been gently massaged. The best part is that kids can start using this flosser as young as 2 or 3 years old, helping them build strong oral health habits early on. This daily routine will transform their dental health and prevent long-term chronic diseases. Don't miss this informative episode with Brynn Snyder. Highlights from this episode: The best age for kids to start flossingThe innovation behind Slate Electric FlosserTips for creating healthy oral care habitsThe first sign of gum diseaseHow Brynn balances work/life as a mom of 5What's next for Slate Flosser?

  • 066: How Playing With Food Can Transform Picky Eating with Elisa Kim

    066: How Playing With Food Can Transform Picky Eating with Elisa Kim
    Apr 9 2025

    In this episode, I am speaking with Elisa Kim, an award-winning design professor, and founder of Studio EGGI which is a functional designed mini kitchen for kids. She specializes in using play and design to help kids develop a positive relationship with food making mealtimes less of a battle and more of an opportunity for exploration and connection.

    Many parents believe food play is messy, wasteful, or unproductive, but research has shown that kids who engage with food touching, smelling, and even playing with it are likelier to try and enjoy new foods. And that is exactly what we talk about in today's show, how a play-based approach to food helps with picky eating, fosters independence, and helps make meal times fun again!

    You will love this conversation with Elisa, learning about Studio EGGI and how it can bring a magical transformational experience to meal times in your kitchen as it has in mine.

    Highlights from this episode:

    • How embracing food play tackles picky eating
    • Inviting kids into the kitchen to explore new foods
    • Using real kitchen tools builds confidence
    • The concept of Studio EGGI + non-mealtime ideas
    • Creating a Montessori/real life approach in your home
    • Practical tips for mealtime
    • Raising confident eaters
