Starting your baby on allergens can feel daunting, but it doesn’t have to be.

With the right approach and a bit of guidance, this stage can be a positive and empowering experience for both you and your little one.

As a dietitian with a special interest in food allergies, I’m passionate about helping families navigate this phase confidently. You’re not alone in this, support and the right information can make all the difference!

Weaning from breastfeeding or pumping can feel like a big emotional and physical shift for both you and your baby. Whether you’re ready to gently reduce feeds, navigating discomfort, or unsure where to start, you don’t have to figure it out alone.

Every weaning journey is different, and having the right support can make all the difference in keeping things comfortable, gradual, and aligned with your goals 🤍

If you’re thinking about weaning (or already in the thick of it), I offer personalised guidance to help you through the process with confidence and care.

Messy play is so important for feeding development in babies and toddlers!
Yes, mess can be stressful, but having a child who is a competent eater is much less stressful.

Use hard plastic chairs you can easily hose, smocks to protect clothes, drop sheets for the floor that can be wiped down easily

Messy eating isn’t bad manners—it’s brain development 🧠✨

Letting babies and toddlers play with their food is actually a powerful way to build essential skills. From squishing and smearing to tasting and exploring, messy eating helps children:

👶 Develop fine motor skills (grasping, hand-eye coordination)
👅 Build oral motor skills for chewing and swallowing
🖐️ Explore textures, smells, and tastes through sensory play
🥦 Feel more comfortable trying new foods (hello, less picky eating!)

Research shows kids need to interact with food—touching, playing, even getting it everywhere—before they’re ready to eat it confidently.

So next time mealtime gets messy… lean into it!
Mess = learning, confidence, and positive food experiences 💛

💧 Introducing water — one small sip at a time

According to the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) infant feeding guidelines:

✨ From around 6 months, babies can start having small amounts of cooled boiled water — offered in a cup with meals
✨ Breast milk or formula remains their main source of nutrition during this stage
✨ From 12 months, water becomes the main drink, and tap water can be safely offered

It’s not about replacing milk — it’s about building skills, confidence, and healthy habits for the future 💛

Part 5 of our introducing solids series

Starting solids is such an exciting milestone—but knowing what to avoid is just as important as knowing what to offer.

From hidden choking hazards to foods that little tummies aren’t ready for yet, a few simple choices can make a big difference in keeping your baby safe and healthy.

Save this as a quick reminder for your feeding journey, and remember—every baby learns at their own pace. You’ve got this 👶✨

Part 4 of our introducing solids series. Breastmilk is more than just nutrition — it continues to support your baby’s growth, comfort, and immune system well into toddlerhood 🤍

In the second year of life, breastfeeding still provides valuable nutrients, helps protect against illness, and offers a sense of security during big developmental changes. For mums, it can also support ongoing bonding and may continue to offer health benefits too.

Whether it’s for nourishment, comfort, or connection, breastfeeding beyond 12 months is a beautiful and normal choice — for as long as it feels right for you and your child ✨

Part 3 of our introducing solids series

Starting solids is an exciting milestone—and texture matters just as much as taste! 🥄✨

From around 6 months, begin with smooth and mashed foods that are gentle and easy to manage. As your baby grows, gradually introduce more textures like soft pieces, minced foods, and finger foods to support chewing skills and build confidence at mealtimes.

If your baby prefers finger foods, make sure that it is cut into finger shaped pieces and super soft. You should be able to squish the food to the roof of your mouth easily.

Every baby is different—follow their cues, go at their pace, and enjoy the messy, magical journey of food discovery 💚
