Guidance for Every Stage of Feeding
Starting solids is a milestone that can bring plenty of excitement. It also comes with lots of new questions as your baby discovers different flavours, textures and ways of eating. Boob to Food founder, certified midwife and nutrition consultant Luka McCabe, created Milk to Meals to help parents approach this stage with practical recipes you can use every day.
As your baby grows, mealtimes continue to change. Toddler to Table picks up where Milk to Meals leaves off, sharing over 100 family-friendly recipes and evidence-based advice to help you build mealtime routines and make family meals something everyone can look forward to.
Simple Ways to Build Healthy Food Habits
The early years are a great time to introduce a wide variety of foods and create positive experiences around eating. Boob to Food encourages a practical approach to building healthy eating habits through family meals. Here are a few ideas to try at home:
- Offer a variety of foods. Regularly introducing different colours, flavours and textures helps your baby become familiar with a wide range of foods over time.
-
Keep offering foods more than once. Your baby might not be interested the first time around, and that's okay. Seeing familiar foods on the table again gives them another chance to give them a go.
- Share your meals together whenever you can. Sitting down as a family gives your baby the chance to learn by watching everyone else enjoy the same foods.
- Get your baby involved. As they grow, simple moments like holding a spoon or exploring different textures encourage curiosity and confidence at mealtimes.
The moments you share around the table can help build healthy eating habits while bringing the whole family together. Alongside Boob to Food, explore our solids list to help you prepare for first foods, and our feeding list for everyday feeding essentials as your baby grows.
