How will your baby’s eating habits change as they become older than a year old? 🤔

What to do when they refuse eating what you’ve prepared for them?

Take a deep breath and remind yourself- it’s not personal!!

Toddler’s brains do not have the capacity to plot or plan or be a mastermind in how to p**s you off, even though it feels like it in the moment! 😩😩

Their behaviours are communication - and their refusal of the food maybe as simple as “I’m not hungry”

Development is a big reason why Toddlers often change up their eating style, and this is because there is so much other “stuff” going on in their brains.

Did you know they will have periods of food fads? Where they will eat you out of house and home of a particular food like for example bananas. So, in a mad panic you go to the shops to stock up on bananas because there’s none left in the house. But the following day your toddler doesn’t touch them? Even looks at you like you’re mad? “Why would I want to eat that?!?!!”

Very normal!! ❤️ Reassure yourself – you have a normal child!

Also they all of a sudden become picky at what they want to eat – no more eating whatever is put in front of them!! They’ll start to develop favourite foods and turn their nose up at new foods. 😋😋

The trick here is – no pressure! Have new foods touching their favourite foods and once you give them their plate you pretend to be busy and not notice them eating. This way they will be more confident to explore what’s on their plate with no pressure. Always ask them – “are you finished?” before taking the plate away. Don’t expect them to eat everything on the plate. No judgement either with how much they eat – some days they’ll be starving, and other days they won’t be hungry. Just like us, it all evens out in the wash!!

If you are struggling with your toddler’s eating, I have a home visit called “Nutrition and Breastfeeding Consultation” where I will come to you and give you strategies on how to resolve many common eating issues. DM for more information on this type of consultation 📩

Did you know the very first sense to develop in your baby is their hearing?

From around 18 weeks gestation your baby can hear. So, your voice is one of the most powerful tools you have in your toolbox to help calm your baby! 🥰🥰

Play is one of the most important factors in development, alongside sleep 😴, nutrition , safety, and relationships ❤️. When we look at how babies learn, we know it is more successful and messages are more likely to be retained if the process was fun 🎉.

Try and imagine fun ways to teach your child principles, like dancing when putting away things around the house . You might do it alone initially and they watch you 👀 – then as they get older, they can join in! Or we can play chasey 🏃‍♀️🏃 with your crawling baby to get them to put their food-stained onesie in the laundry .

I always say that toddlers are little workaholics , and that their work is play. From the moment they wake up until they fall asleep at night it is work work work – or – play play play! 🎈

No time to eat , no time to sleep , no time to go to the potty!!
They are learning about their world through their play.

How to socialise, how to negotiate, how to understand rules or boundaries. These lessons in life are much easier to learn if they’re done in a fun way ✨.

So – everyone – let’s play!! 🎉🧸🎈

This is Catherine Watson Genna a BS, IBCLC from New York City who was in town end of February 2026 to speak at the Breastfeeding Conference “Lactation:Evidence, Innovation, Care” held

My mind has exploded 🤯 with all the new research on tongue-tie amongst other topics.
Catherine presented her research with Columbia University and Tel Aviv University on biomedical engineering studying various aspects of infants sucking, swallowing and ni**le biomechanics! Amazing !! 🤩

Perth was last on her list after presenting in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne. Shout out to for enabling us to see quality worldwide breastfeeding research. Thank you 🙏🏻 🤗

Babies start to wake up more around this age — they’re becoming more aware of their surroundings and more interactive with their environment 👶🧸✨ They’re starting to enjoy toys that respond to their touch or sound, and this is also when separation anxiety and even a little FOMO can begin 💛

So what does sleep look like at this age? 💤

Now is the time to start sleeping your baby in their own room or your bedroom with the curtains drawn. Use filtered light, not blackout — it’s important they know it’s a day sleep, not their main nighttime rest ☀️🌙

Give your baby lots of cuddle time and connection so they feel safe and secure 💕 Let them contact nap if they seem a little dysregulated today — sometimes they just need you.

Try to be spontaneous with your routine — trust your baby, they know what they need. Watch for their tired cues This is the most important thing! Forget the clock and focus on your baby’s signals and behaviour instead 💫



Thank you to mum for this video 😁

Have you noticed that your baby can copy you? The noises you’re making? Even at just a few weeks old? Your baby is in tune with you, trying to communicate through their own little “conversations.” 💬💞

How do we encourage this?

Every day, as you’re going about your daily tasks caring for your baby, talk to them about what’s happening. “We are now going to change your nappy. Is this okay if Mum changes your nappy?” — and then wait a few seconds to get a physical “yes” 🙌 or even a little verbal one! 💕

Before going ahead, you might say, “Here we go — time for a nappy change!” Then add, “This will make you feel much more comfortable, and then we can go and play on the mat and do tummy time together.” Even while you’re feeding your baby, you can tell them how much you love this time together. 🥰🍼

A big part of a baby learning to talk is giving them space and time to respond. Be patient and be curious about what they will say — it takes a lot of effort to put together a response. 💭✨ Give them plenty of time; it takes much, much longer than you think. And it’s okay for you to just sit there, in tune with them, waiting for their response.

Simply slowing down and being with your baby is so powerful when they’re learning to communicate. Sometimes this is called “Serve and Return.”

Have you heard about Molly Wright? In 2021, at just 7 years old, she gave a TED Talk called “How Every Child Can Thrive by Five.” It’s fabulous and truly inspirational! 💖

Baby’s are born to communicate – their survival depends on it. How they look at you with those cute big eyes? Their chubby cheeks and squishy huggable arms and legs. The way they squeak and babble baby talk to you, OH my ovaries!!! 🥹🥰🥰

Babies are dependent on us for everything, absolutely everything. So, it makes sense that we would be gaga over them! The survival of our race depends on it!!

But how do you read them?

🩷 Watch their gaze – where they turn their eyes, in what direction? Are they looking for engagement and play? Or are they signalling play time is over? It’s now bedtime? Are their eyes looking straight at you? Or are they glazed over and seem to be daydreaming? So much can be said by just a look! Am I right?

🩷 Watch their expression - this will reinforce your gut instincts about how your baby is feeling. Their facial expression will let you know how they are feeling.
How is your baby moving? Are their arms and legs doing calm tai-chi type movements? Or are they boxing with fists closed? Is their torso squirming and twisting? Are they pulling up their legs towards their face? Or are they lying with arms up above their head still and quiet?

🩷 Lastly, what sort of sounds are they making? If a baby needs your help you will know about it! If they are in any discomfort or danger or pain, you will know about it! Also, the same if they’re happy and content…

We need to take the time to be curious about what they are trying to tell us and put all this information together as well as listening to our gut instincts or our mothering brain! Our matrescence!

Be patient, be curious and trust yourself knowing you are the best parent for your baby!

Let’s not make baby sleep so complicated!
It’s not your job to put your baby to sleep!!

You know what is your job though?

To make their sleep environment conducive to fall asleep, what does that mean? To make the area calm and chill, like you’re in a spa – sh sh sh sh, relax, breathe deeply, manifest positivity! ✨😄

Your other job?
To identify when your baby is tired – watch their body language – they are talking to you Mumma!! Is their sleep pressure high? How do you know? Would you like more information around this?

Your final job?
Reinforce your emotional connection with your baby so they feel safe. This is probably THE most important part.

If you’re feeling unsure, stressed and worrying - your baby will not feel safe enough to drop off to sleep. This includes you doing self-care – daily!! It’s not indulgent, it’s necessary for the emotional health of your family!!

Once you start doing this you will all be getting sleep!
