In this episode, we talk about picky eating and why the usual ways parents try to help don’t always work. Have you ever told your kid they’ll get a cookie if they finish their plate? Or tried to explain why eating veggies is good for them, hoping they’d understand like an adult? Turns out, these methods might not solve the picky eating puzzle. We’ll share some simple, kind tips on how to make mealtime smoother and help your child enjoy a variety of foods. Tune in to learn how to turn food fuss into fun, without making promises of dessert for dinner.

The post I bet you’ve done this before… appeared first on Nutrition for Littles.

You ask me this all the time…
“What do you actually feed your kids?”
 “How do you handle it when they refuse a meal?”
 “What do you do when they ask for candy… again?”

In this off-the-cuff, recorded-in-the-car episode (yep—real mom life), I’m walking you through a full day of feeding my three kids. You’ll hear what they ate, what they didn’t, what strategies I used, and how I navigated it all—from oatmeal battles to baseball snacks to leftover soup wins.

This is your first peek inside something brand new I’ve created:

Watch Me Feed My Kids — a 7-day behind-the-scenes experience where you get to see exactly how I feed my real-life family. Every plate, every tactic, every “what now?” moment.

This episode gives you a taste of what’s coming—because feeding kids isn’t just about what goes on the plate. It’s about how you think, respond, and adjust in real time.

Ever feel like feeding your family is a full-time job no one sees?
In this episode, I’m unpacking the mental load behind feeding kids—especially picky eaters—and how much of your day is consumed by invisible decisions before anyone even sits down to eat. From meal planning, grocery runs, and anticipating meltdowns, to managing emotions (yours and theirs), it’s a lot.
I’m breaking down why this load feels so heavy, why no one talks about it, and how to stop feeling like you’re doing it all wrong. This one’s part validation, part reality check, and full of “OMG yes” moments you’ll want to send to your mom friends immediately.

Plus, I’ll tease what’s coming next week—real story times from feeding my own kids, with the mental play-by-play of what I’m thinking and doing in real time.

 If you’ve ever wondered why you’re so tired after dinner—this episode is for you.

You know that moment when dinner hits the table and your kid looks at it like it might bite them first? In today’s episode, I’m spilling the real story behind a recent mealtime with my kids that could have gone sideways—but didn’t. Why? Because of one powerful strategy that turned skepticism into second servings.

I’m sharing exactly how I handled a totally unfamiliar meal (cooked by my husband, no less!) and guided my kids from “what is THAT?” to “can I have more?” You’ll hear the behind-the-scenes of how I made real-time food connections, added safe foods, and built trust—without giving in or turning it into a power struggle.

This is your peek inside my brain and how I handle meal rejection in the moment. If you’ve ever wished for a picky eating expert in your back pocket, this episode is the next best thing.

Oh—and spoiler alert—pickles saved the day.
