Iâm sharing how I raised my daughter to *not* be a picky eaterâfrom what her very first foods were, to the intentional (and sometimes controversial) ârulesâ I followed during her first two years. This isnât a list of expert-backed guarantees or a one-size-fits-all method. Itâs what worked in our home, through consistency, conviction, and a lot of trust in the process.
Weâll talk about why the idea of âkid foodâ never sat right with me, how early exposure shaped my daughterâs palate, and why I believe raising a good eater doesnât happen by accident. Itâs not about perfection or controlâitâs about leadership, boundaries, and modeling a healthy relationship with food from the very beginning.
Iâm sharing this not to shame or compare, but to offer perspective, encouragement, and a reminder that our choices at the table matter more than weâre often told.
**In this episode, I share:**
* What my daughterâs first foods actually were
* The ârulesâ I followed for the first two years (and why I donât regret them)
* Why short-order cooking creates more problems than it solves
* How taste preferences are formed early
* Why intentional feeding is an act of care, not control
If youâre pregnant, in the thick of feeding a baby or toddler, or simply questioning what youâve been told about kids and foodâthis conversation is for you.
