Smaller appetite in hot weather isn’t fussiness, it’s physiology.

When body temperature climbs, digestion slows and little ones naturally want less, cooler, and more often. Pushing a steaming lunch onto a sweaty toddler rarely ends well.

So I swap, not battle: no-cook plates, hydrating fruit and veg, and chilled snacks that still carry protein, fat and fibre.

Water in food counts as much as the cup they (sometimes) drink.

Aim for all the building blocks if you can — but on a 32°C day, two out of four is still a win.

Save this for the next hot spell, and tell me: what’s the one cool meal yours will always say yes to? 🍉

You count the protein. Did they get enough today, should you push a bit more at dinner. But a young child needs surprisingly little of it: roughly 13g a day for a toddler. One egg covers nearly half. A small piece of chicken or a spoon of full-fat yoghurt closes the rest. Protein is rarely where kids actually fall short.

Fibre is the quieter gap, and it only comes from produce and wholegrains. A toddler needs around 8g a day, and it builds slowly. A pear with its skin gives about 5g, a small handful of raspberries about 4g, a serving of broccoli roughly 2.5g. Put those together and you’re there. Skip the veg and fruit, and almost nothing else fills it in.

So the gap is rarely protein. It’s colour, fibre and variety. Save this for the next plate you build.

Porridge doesn’t have to mean oats and it definitely doesn’t have to be sweet.

Breast milk and formula are naturally sweet, so savoury breakfasts are actually doing important work: they widen your baby’s palate from the very first spoonfuls.

These five are in regular rotation in my house and with my client families. Two are grain-free for the youngest eaters, and the congee is my go-to when someone’s poorly or constipated.

Every one of them has protein and fat built in, because porridge made with water alone is just a blood sugar rollercoaster.

Which one are you trying first?

Iron is the nutrient I get asked about most, and the one most likely to actually run low in babies after six months.

The good news is you don’t need fortified cereal or supplements to cover it. You need iron-rich food, offered often, in a texture your baby can manage.

These four purées do double duty. Heme iron from lamb, sardines and liver absorbs easily on its own. The lentil combo leans on tomato, because vitamin C roughly doubles how much plant iron the body takes up.

Batch them, freeze them in small portions, and rotate. No single meal needs to be perfect. The pattern across the week is what counts.

Which one would your baby try first?

“Babies can’t digest grains.”
It sounds convincing with a few limited facts, but causes an unjustified fear in parents.

Pancreatic amylase, the main starch enzyme, is very low in infancy. True. But babies have backup: amylase in saliva, amylase in breast milk, and glucoamylase in the gut from as early as one month. Together they let babies absorb close to 99% of the starch they eat.

So the question was never CAN. It is NEED.

In the first year, growth runs on fats, iron and brain-building nutrients, not grains.
Keep grains light, choose gentler ones like oats and quinoa, and soak to free up their minerals.

Swipe for how to soak, soaking vs souring, and the rice and arsenic exception.

Ten years ago, I was that person. Bottles lined up like a small pharmacy on my counter. Cognitive boosters. Adaptogens. Greens powders. Convinced that if I just found the right combination, the right brand, the right dose, I would sleep better, feel sharper, get sick less, finally arrive at the version of myself the marketing kept promising. I spent a fortune. I lost sleep researching. I felt clever and informed and quietly anxious all at the same time.

I do not do this to my children. I never have. But I watch a generation of parents doing it right now, and it breaks my heart.

Look at what’s happening. The US and Australia have produced an entire wave of kids’ supplement brands wrapped in soft pastels and serif fonts and promises of «trust» and «transparency.» Bear-shaped gummies. Cognitive support for toddlers. Magnesium cacao for sleep. Immunity drops for daycare season.

Marketed to mothers who are tired, googling at midnight, willing to spend anything to do right by their child.

I need you to hear this from someone who used to spend a fortune on this stuff. The brands that were genuinely high quality ten years ago are not the same brands today. Raw material standards have quietly collapsed under margin pressure. Every player is fighting for cents per capsule. The bear gummy in your cupboard does not contain what the marketing implies.

I have friends who sell these brands. Good people. They believe in what they’re selling. And I love them. But the basics underneath are wrong, and this is not a matter of opinion.

The science here is as solid as the earth being round. You can argue with it. It will not move.

Your child does not need a bottle. They need you, present, calm, and unburdened by the guilt this industry was built on.

The full piece is now live in Brainz Magazine.

Read it before you buy another bottle.

Summer produce is basically a feeding therapy session disguised as a picnic. 🌞

We get colour, crunch, juice, seeds, slippery textures, sour-sweet flavours, natural mess and so many chances to build food confidence without making it feel like “work”.

Tomatoes teach wet + acidic. Berries bring seeds + tartness. Peaches bring slippery + juicy. Corn brings chew + bite practice. Cucumber brings crunch. Zucchini sneaks into everything like the polite vegetable it is.

And the best part? Most of these don’t need complicated recipes. Just add fat, protein, herbs, dips, yoghurt, cheese, eggs, meat, fish or legumes… and suddenly it’s not just a snack, it’s nourishment.

Save this for your summer shopping list, and send it to a parent who is currently surviving on berries, sunscreen and tiny abandoned cucumber sticks.

Bio, organic, biologique. The labels do mean something, but not everywhere, and not always at the price you’re paying.

A quick honest breakdown of where it’s worth spending more for your baby, and where you can keep things conventional without losing anything nutritionally.

EU baby food rules are already strict, so the jar aisle isn’t where the worry lives. Where bio actually earns its place is fresh produce with thin skin, plus dairy, eggs, and meat. Berries, spinach, apples, milk, chicken. That’s your priority list.

And here’s the thing nobody talks about. A local, in-season, non-bio strawberry from a Swiss farm will almost always beat a bio papaya that flew in from Brazil. Seasonal and local can very much outperform the bio label. Both matter. One isn’t a substitute for the other.

Save this for your next grocery run.

Broccoli bread that actually gets eaten.

If anything green usually gets pushed to the edge of the plate, this loaf is actually clever. The broccoli blends all the way into a soft, sliceable bread that holds its shape and squishes easily for little gums.

Breakfast, lunch, snack in the bag for the park, it does all of it.
I slice it into strips so babies from around six months can pick it up themselves. Older toddlers can manage smaller pieces or hold a whole slice and go to town.

No added salt, freezer friendly, made in one bowl and a blender.
Bake it once and you are sorted for the week.

Swipe for every step, and save this for their next scream for bread.

I’m truly honored to be recognized with the Brainz 500 Global Award 2025 by Brainz Magazine.

This recognition means a lot to me because it highlights the work behind Early Eaters Club — supporting families, reshaping how we think about children’s nutrition, and helping kids build a healthier relationship with food from the very beginning.

Being included among so many inspiring founders and change-makers reminds me that meaningful impact often starts small: at the family table, with curiosity, patience, and care.

Thank you to Brainz Magazine for this recognition, and to the families and professionals who trust and support this mission every day.
