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.

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!

067: This Daily Habit Will Transform Your Kids Oral Health (and Long-Term Health) with Brynn Snyder
Épisode 67
mercredi 23 avril 2025 • Durée 36:46
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.

Épisode 66
mercredi 9 avril 2025 • Durée 39:04
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.

064: Prioritizing Nourishment, Support, and Rest for New Mothers During the Postpartum Period
Épisode 64
mercredi 12 mars 2025 • Durée 38:01
So much of a new mother's attention is focused on her newborn in the postpartum stage. Understandably so, a new mom should also be taken care of, and her health made a priority so she has the energy and clarity for her new role in motherhood.
During pregnancy, your body is devoted to your baby, but taking the time to be mindful of your nutrition once the baby arrives isn't self-indulgent, it's necessary.
After pregnancy, you are more susceptible to anemia, osteopenia, fatigue, and depression. Consuming a nutrient-dense diet will enrich your milk with the nutrients necessary to help your baby's brain and body grow and develop.
In this episode, I cover all the things new mothers need to do (and not do) after the baby is born. From who to have around in your home to what foods and supplements to take. I hope this helps you in some way on your postpartum journey.
Share this episode with other mamas who need postpartum support.

How to support yourself postpartum
Things not to do postpartum
Communicating your needs for childbirth
