#124: What if your baby reacted to egg…does that mean eggs are off the table forever?
Not necessarily. In this episode, food allergy researcher and dietitian Carina Venter, PhD, RD, explains what an egg ladder is, how it may help some babies with egg allergy work toward tolerating egg again, and why this approach is used more often outside of the United States.
Carina also shares why egg white matters, why “egg intolerance” is usually not the right term, and what to ask your pediatrician or allergist before trying an egg ladder.
Listen to this episode to learn:
1. What an egg ladder is and how it may help some babies with egg allergy work toward tolerating egg again
2. Why egg allergy is different from “egg intolerance” and why egg white is the part that matters most
3. How to talk to your pediatrician or allergist about egg ladders if your baby has reacted to egg and you are wondering what comes next

#120: If you’re worried about saying the wrong thing when your baby is starting solid foods, this episode is for you. In this conversation with registered dietitian and Food Positivity co-author Arielle “Dani” Lebovitz, MS, RD, you’ll learn how everyday comments (often said with love) can shape your baby’s relationship with food and their body long before they can talk.
We cover simple, real-life language swaps that reduce pressure at meals, help you build trust (even on days your baby barely eats), and set the foundation for a healthy food relationship without guilt, bribing, or battles. You’ll walk away with practical phrases to use right away and “words to skip” that quietly reinforce food shame…so you can feel more confident at the table from the very first bites.
Listen to this episode to learn:
1. What “well-meaning” mealtime phrases can accidentally add pressure (and what to say instead)
2. How trust-centered feeding works when your baby barely eats (and you’re tempted to push)
3. How to talk about food and bodies in a way that supports confidence, curiosity, and self-trust

#119: Starting solid foods can feel confusing when your baby was born early. Do you go by your baby’s actual age or adjusted age? And what if someone told you to start early so your baby can “catch up” with weight gain?
In this episode, I’m breaking down how to calculate adjusted age for premature babies and why it matters for starting solid foods safely. You’ll learn when to begin looking for readiness signs, why waiting is often safer than rushing, and how premature babies can absolutely succeed with baby-led weaning when they’re given the time and support they need.
I’ll also share how my own premature quadruplets inspired the 100 First Foods approach…and how your baby can learn to self-feed safely too.
Listen to this episode to learn:
1. How to calculate your premature baby’s adjusted age before starting solid foods
2. Why 6 months adjusted age matters more than chronological age for feeding readiness
3. What signs of readiness to look for before offering your baby their first foods

#114:Do you ever watch Shark Tank and see a really good product that was born out of necessity by a new parent? That’s exactly the story behind ezpz. In this episode, Lindsey Laurain, founder and CEO of ezpz, shares how messy mealtimes with her own young kids led to the original silicone suction mat and eventually a full line of feeding gear designed to support your baby’s feeding and developmental milestones. We also talk about her Shark Tank experience, building ezpz from the ground up, and why thoughtful, developmentally appropriate feeding gear matters when your baby is starting solid foods.
Listen to this episode to learn:
1. How the idea to make silicone suction mats was born out of a real anxiety-inducing problem in her house and how she went from a “piece of plastic crap” prototype to making some of the most revolutionary infant feeding products ever!
2. About the really nasty feedback she got after going on Shark Tank to pitch ezpz, and why declining the Sharks’ deals helped catapult their business while maintaining their core values
3. How quickly their products get ripped off by imposters, why the sub-par products disappear pretty quickly and why she employs a feeding expert in the design of all of their products that babies and children use

#112: If you’ve ever thought, I do not want my baby to grow up with all of the messed up food stuff I grew up with, this episode is for you. In this conversation, registered dietitian Vanessa Rissetto joins me to talk about diet culture, the pressure parents feel around feeding, and how to start fostering a healthier relationship with food for your baby from the very beginning.
Vanessa breaks down what diet culture actually looks like in real life, how our own food beliefs can shape the way we feed our kids, and why less pressure around eating often leads to better outcomes over time. We also talk about food language, feeding dynamics at home, and simple ways to help your child feel more comfortable and confident around food.
Listen to this episode to learn:
1. How to lay off the pressure around kids eating...and practical tips for being less food focussed around children
2. Which words to use when discussing food with your babies and children to help them have positive associations with food instead of food-related phobias

#110: If your baby is on the smaller side and you’ve been told to start solid foods early to help your baby gain weight, this episode is for you. That advice can feel scary and confusing, especially if your baby is not showing the signs of readiness to start solid foods yet. In this episode, pediatric dietitian Rosan Meyer, PhD, RD explains why starting solid foods early will not help with catch-up weight, what growth charts are actually telling you, and why milk feeds, not solid foods, are the priority when weight gain is a concern.
Listen to this episode to learn:
1. How to tell the difference between normal growth variation and true growth faltering when you look at your baby’s growth chart
2. What catch-up growth really means, and why starting solid foods early is not the right strategy for helping your baby gain weight
3. Why shared decision making with your practitioner matters when setting safe, realistic feeding goals for your baby
