I fed my first child when she was just 4 months old, and I’ll be honest it felt too early. Now nearly 4 years later with babies #6 and 7 (boy-girl twins) coming up on 6.5 months, I want to share a little bit about why this time, I waited to feed these two.

As someone who has also struggled with conceiving, I was initially skeptical of the idea that how we eat affects our ability to conceive. Was what I put in my mouth for the first 35 years of life really somehow responsible for the fact that I couldn't get pregnant once I wanted to?

Are you a nugget fan looking to expand? These Air Fryer Pistachio-Crusted Tofu Nuggets will have your kids begging for more plant protein on their plates. Plus they’re so easy to make that you can let the kids cook!

New guidelines say babies should have peanut protein EARLY to help prevent allergy. Up until now there haven’t been many ways to do this besides feeding Bamba. But now Puffworks Baby has built a better baby puff.

With each pregnancy I'm amazed how many more useful products are available for parents of new babies...and each time I discover a new product we use daily, I can't help but think, "How did we ever survive before THIS came along?"

I'm hanging out here at the tail end of my pregnancy, waiting for twins to arrive in two short weeks. When you're this visibly pregnant, everyone else seems to want to talk about it...and I've been getting a ton of unsolicited "tips" {and some from perfect strangers} this time around.

By the time our babies hit the 6 month mark and were ready to start solid food, I was coming at feeding my squad with a whole new attitude, mindset and feeding philosophy...and it was called baby-led weaning.

Fat is making a major comeback! Gone are the days (thankfully!) of low-fat and fat-free foods. Now it's time to focus on the TYPE of fat, not so much the AMOUNT of fat, especially when you're cooking for little ones.

When it comes to fruits and vegetables, we are big fans...be them fresh, frozen, or lately...in a can! As a dietitian, I love the convenience and affordability of canned foods...and now your kids can too!

Have you guys been in the yogurt aisle lately?! The place is a freaking minefield filled with sugary syrup-laden goop that hardly resembles what yogurt was originally intended to be: bacteria and milk, and that's it!

I've had a number of requests lately for ideas on what to feed your kid in the car. Since most of my work and life centers around feeding babies :) I'm happy to say that the answer to this one is pretty easy: don't feed your baby in the car.

Ever find yourself getting bored of the same old breakfast routine? I have a pretty solid rotation of about 7-10 things we feed our 5 kids for breakfast; but, beyond that, I was kind of at a loss...until now.

One of the things I love most about a baby-led approach to feeding is that self-feeding helps develop your child's independence. But what do you do when your baby or toddler has mastered feeding herself by hand and now it's time to introduce utensils?...

Aileen Cox Blundell is my big-time mom crush right now. She's the author of the absolutely gorgeous new book The Baby-Led Feeding Cookbook: A new healthy way of eating for your baby that the whole family will love..

As a mom to 5 small kids and a dietitian working in the family feeding space, I get a TON of comments from readers and followers about fruit. They usually sound something like this, "I heard fruit has too much sugar"...

There are over 20,000 new food and beverage items unleashed on grocery store shelves each year...and most of them you don't need. Here are 5 food items to steer clear of at the supermarket if you're shopping for babies or kids.

20 years ago a bagel was 3 inches in diameter and had 150 calories. Today it’s 6 inches and can pack nearly 400 calories. Portions are on the rise but they not only affect mom and dads’ waistline, kids can fall victim to portion distortion as well. 

Just wrapped up an EPIC week hosting the Fortified Family's 5 Day Baby Food Texture Challenge. This was an awesome experience born out of SO MANY questions I received all about what EXACTLY can you do to push your baby's palate?

Beyond frozen bags of vegetables and berries that are out of season, I don't normally give a lot of thought to the freezer aisle when I'm grocery shopping. Truth is, outside of plain old produce - there's not usually a whole lot going on in this section of the store that's worth writing about.
