Show Notes
Today, we're talking about What They Don't Tell You... about feeding kids! From purees and baby-led weaning to hidden veg hacks and picky eaters, we’re getting into the chaos, stress, and occasional triumph of getting food into little humans. With three kids well out of the toddler stage, we’re sharing what we’ve learned along the way – the wins, the regrets, and the hilarious moments too!
In this episode, we’ll cover:
Weaning 101: What we did right (and wrong) with each child
Baby-led vs. puree: why we landed somewhere in the middle
Toddler food battles and picky eaters
Hidden veg, fun meals, and the power of Hulk smoothies
Our go-to hacks, lazy dinners, and sanity-saving routines
We hope this chat brings you some ideas, a few laughs, and a reminder that it does get easier!
