We’re told to start solids as early as 4 months and introduce allergens by 6 months—but no one really tells us how to do it or what to expect (spoiler: it’s a messy ride). This week, we’re joined by Malina from @healthy.mom.healthy.kids—a certified Pediatric Dietitian, single mom of three, and expert in Baby-Led Weaning (BLW) and picky eating.

Malina breaks down different approaches to starting solids, from BLW to purees, plus when and how to introduce allergens without losing your mind. She also shares game-changing tips on managing picky eaters, setting mealtime boundaries with older kids, and shifting the narrative around food—so you can reclaim some sanity at the dinner table.

If feeding your kids feels like a daily battle, this episode will put you at ease and give you the tools to make mealtime fun again. We promise!

In this week’s episode, we reflect on our so called ‘vacations’ which were really just us parenting in another zip code, taking on 12-14hr parenting shifts daily. We touch on the highs and lows of what being away with your kids is like, managing LONG travel days and public meltdowns. We dive into our go-to packing tips, our no-guilt philosophy on screen-time, and what we did to get our kids back on track. We also give you a mini life update - Amanda FINALLY figured out how to potty train her 3.5yr old (her method was genius) and Jessie updates on what’s going on with her period post-baby. Motherhood is all over the place - so is this episode. Enjoy.
