Simple Balance Nutrition

31/12/2025

2025 is coming to an end 🤍

This year was full, full of work that stretched me, challenged me, and reminded me why I chose this path. From supporting families and children through nutrition, feeding, and growth, to learning new skills and deepening my practice, I grew not just professionally, but personally too.

Beyond work, 2025 was about family, showing up, cheering from the sidelines, packing bags, sharing meals, and holding space for the little everyday moments that truly matter. Some days were exhausting, some were joyful, and many were quietly meaningful.

I have so many photos and memories that didn’t make it here, but they’re all safely stored in my heart.

Ending this year with gratitude, for the people I serve, the family I love, and the lessons that shaped me.

Here’s to more growth, more balance, and more meaningful moments in 2026 ✨🎉

As this year comes to an end, I find myself feeling incredibly grateful.

It has only been two months since I stepped fully into my role as a paediatric dietitian, yet the learning has been deeper than I ever imagined. Diving into feeding therapy and oral-motor therapy has completely reshaped how I see picky eating and speech delay. It’s no longer just about what a child eats but whether their little bodies are physically ready to eat.

Learning how jaw stability, chewing patterns, and tongue movements affect both eating and speech has been eye-opening. For some children, especially those with developmental delays or special needs, the struggle was never about being “picky.” Their bodies were simply asking for support.

I feel so lucky to be in a career that challenges me, humbles me, and excites me at the same time. Every child I meet reminds me why this work matters. Every small improvement, one better chew, one new texture accepted, one confident swallow, feels like a quiet victory.

As I step into the new year, my hope is simple: to keep learning, to keep growing, and to support more children and families, especially special needs children here in Malaysia. This journey feels meaningful, and I’m truly thankful to be on it. 🤍

Snacks aren’t “just to fill the tummy”, they’re mini opportunities to nourish your toddler’s growing body and brain! 🌱

A balanced snack gives your child steady energy and satisfaction between meals so they’re less cranky, more focused, and not begging for food every hour.

Here’s the golden rule:
🍎 Carbohydrate (energy) + 🥜 Protein or healthy fat (satisfaction)

✅ Why it matters:
🔸Carbs fuel your child’s brain and muscles.
🔸Protein & fat slow digestion, keeping them full longer and stabilizing energy (and moods!).

➡️The combo supports better concentration, growth, and fewer sugar crashes.

🍏 Simple balanced snack ideas:
🔹Apple slices + cheese
🔹Whole grain crackers + hummus
🔹Banana + peanut butter
🔹Yogurt + fruit + chia seeds
🔹Toast + nut butter
🔹Granola
🔹Muffin

💡 Picky eater tip‼‼:
Offer 2 balanced choices: “Would you like crackers with hummus or yogurt with banana?”
👉 This helps toddlers feel in control while you keep the nutrition balanced.

✨ Inside Peaceful Mealtimes, I’ll show you how to create simple, nourishing snacks and meals your child will actually eat without stress, bribery, or separate cooking!
You’ll also get 60+ printable tools, meal visuals, and snack templates designed for busy parents.

“Could my toddler’s picky eating be linked to low iron?” 🤔

Many toddlers between 1–3 years old don’t get enough iron, especially when milk intake is high and meat or iron-rich foods are limited.

Iron is crucial for your child’s:
💪 Energy levels
🧠 Brain development
🌱 Growth and appetite

Here are 5 possible signs of low iron you might notice:
😴 Constant tiredness or low energy
🍞 Craving mostly carbs and avoiding meats or veggies
🥛 Drinking too much milk (which blocks iron absorption)
🦷 Pale skin, lips, or gums
📉 Slower growth, focus, or developmental milestones

💡 If you’re concerned, check with your pediatrician, blood tests can confirm if iron levels are low.

The good news? You can prevent iron deficiency by offering the right foods, pairing iron with vitamin C, and creating positive mealtime habits.

✨ Inside Peaceful Mealtimes, I’ll show you:
✅ Easy ways to include iron-rich foods (even for picky eaters)
✅ How to balance milk and meals
✅ What normal toddler portions look like

You don’t have to guess anymore, let’s build confident, nourished eaters together. 💛

“Is my child getting enough nutrients?”

That’s one of the most common concerns I hear from parents of picky eaters.

The truth is: picky eating isn’t just frustrating at mealtimes, it can also affect nutrition.

The top 3 nutrients toddlers often fall short on are:
🥩 Iron: key for energy, growth, and brain development. Low iron can lead to tiredness, poor appetite, and delayed development.
☀️ Vitamin D: essential for strong bones and immunity, but tricky to get from food alone.
🐟 Omega-3s: important for brain development, focus, and even mood regulation.

👉 Here’s the challenge:
Many of these nutrients are found in foods toddlers typically reject (like leafy greens, fish, or meat).

But don’t worry, you don’t need to force or bribe your child to eat these foods.

With the right strategies, you can:
✅ Close nutrient gaps in practical, everyday ways
✅ Support your child’s growth and development
✅ Reduce your stress and build confidence at mealtimes

✨ Inside Peaceful Mealtimes, I guide you step by step through how to nourish a picky eater even if they only eat a handful of foods right now.

If you want your child to try new foods without tears, pressure, or bribery, start with these gentle strategies:
1️⃣ Offer one “safe” food alongside a new food.
When kids see something familiar on their plate, they feel more comfortable exploring the “new” food.
2️⃣ Make food fun.
Try cutting fruits into fun shapes, serving veggies with dips, or using colorful plates. A playful presentation often lowers resistance.
3️⃣ Invite them into the process.
Kids who wash veggies, stir batter, or explore ingredients with their hands are much more curious about tasting.

💡 And remember: exposure counts even if they don’t eat it. Smelling, touching, or licking a new food is still progress!
