Feeding a baby is rarely a one-person job—and this week, we’re hearing what it’s like from the dad’s side of the table.

 

In this episode, Kathy sits down with her husband, Chris, to share their honest, funny, and heartfelt reflections on what feeding their little one has looked like from day one. From the early days of milk allergies and sleepless nights to toddler mealtimes filled with giggles (and a few side-eye “eyeball conversations”), they’re opening up about what they’ve learned about teamwork, trust, and letting go of perfection.

 

Chris also shares how his background as an ER nurse shaped his fears and confidence around choking and food safety, what helped him feel more comfortable in the kitchen, and why feeding eventually shifted from “just another task” to something meaningful and fun. Together, they unpack what it takes to stay on the same page as parents—especially when you don’t always agree on what to do at the dinner table.

 

Whether you’re a mom, dad, or caregiver trying to navigate this stage together, this episode will remind you that feeding isn’t just about food—it’s about connection, communication, and giving yourself grace as you learn side by side.
