This is incredibly helpful! My baby is almost 7 months old and I've had difficulty making up a "menu" for him week after week. I ended up spending 3-4 days trying to feed him one type of food that he ended up not liking. I will try this schedule and that way we can rotate through more types of food and have him experience more variety. Thank you!!!

I wish you were my child’s pediatrician. You seem so friendly and happy and supportive! I’m taking your advice on food for my 6 month old and trying to give her all textures and flavors because my son is sensory with regards to food and I’ve learned it was because I’m a fussy eater so limited him to food. Trying to change that with my second born 😂 tired of making separate meals 😋

Thank you for the healthy food suggestions!

Your videos are really helpful especially like me who is a first time mom. I wish I found your channel before I gave birth. But anyway, my baby will turn 7 months on March 2 and I am scared to give him stripped food because he might choke.

How do I do this if my kids are 5 and 3 and one is gtube dependent and the other is picky? Any help would be appreciated.
