Starting solids can feel overwhelming—but it doesn’t have to be 🤍

As a dietitian and mom of 4 (including twins), here’s my real-life approach:

I do my best to avoid added sugar until age 1 by:
• choosing products with no added sugar
• making recipes without added sugar
• focusing on whole, nutrient-dense foods

After their first birthday, I start to introduce small amounts gradually—nothing extreme, just a balanced approach.

If they have something with added sugar from a recipe I didn’t make or at a party/event… I don’t overthink it. One exposure isn’t the big picture.

Yes, the recommendation is no added sugar until age 2, but as a mom of multiples, I also know that perfect isn’t always realistic.

For me, it’s about doing your best most of the time and keeping the bigger picture in mind 🤍

Introducing allergens can feel intimidating—but it doesn’t have to be.

As a dietitian (and mom of twins 👯‍♀️ ), I focus on:
✔️Starting with small amounts
✔️Offering allergens early in the day
✔️Keeping them in regular rotation

We’ve been using peanut AND almond puffs as an easy, low-stress way to introduce peanuts & treenuts (almond) 👶👶

Bonus: the girls are obsessed 🙌🏼

Always check with your pediatrician if you have concerns—but early introduction can be such a positive step 💛

Everything I worried about being pregnant with twins… didn’t all happen the way I thought 💛👶👶

Still chaotic, still learning—but we’re finding our rhythm.

The first 1,000 days matter more than most people realize 🤍

From pregnancy through age 2, nutrition plays a huge role in how our babies grow, develop, and build lifelong eating habits.

As a dietitian mom, I focus on offering a variety of nutrient-dense foods early on—without overcomplicating it.

We’ve been loving puffs as an easy way to add in fruits + veggies during snack time or even rounding out a meal 🙌

Comment ‘PUFFS’ and I’ll send you the link!

Leaving the house = a full-body workout 🏋️‍♂️

Okay but be honest… what’s the ONE thing you always forget when leaving the house? 👇😂
