As a Paediatric Dietitian of 25 years, and mum, I know that feeding kids can carry so much invisible weight.

Not for everyone, but for many.

So much guilt.
So much noise.
So many messages telling parents they’re doing it wrong.

And honestly?
That’s not fair.

We are raising children in a fast, overwhelming world — one that I believe makes feeding harder than it’s ever been.

If you’ve felt unsure, tired, or stuck with food lately, I want you to hear this clearly:

You are doing the best you can.
And your kids are lucky to have you.

There’s always another thing you could do — but what matters most is feeling calm, confident, and supported in what you’re already doing.

If you want to go into 2026 feeling steadier with feeding — not perfect, just more grounded — this is the moment to reset.

💬 Comment RESET because you deserve to feel like you are doing a great job.

1️⃣ Start with a decent breakfast

To each breakfast fibre, protein and/or healthy fats.
This helps stabilise blood sugar — which means better mood, better focus, and far fewer meltdowns as the day goes on.

2️⃣ Snack platters at home

When we’re home, I put out snack boards with plenty of plant foods plus some of their familiar favourites.
Less grazing, more balance, and no power struggles.

3️⃣ Say no to soft drinks

One of the easiest wins.
Cutting soft drinks dramatically reduces sugar and artificial sweeteners — both of which can be tough on kids’ gut health.

Follow along for more practical, evidence-based tips ✨

As a Paediatric Dietitian, this is how I choose a good dairy-free yoghurt for kids 👇

1️⃣ Protein per 100g
If you’re looking for a higher-protein option, choose soy-based yoghurts for the highest protein (or oat based as second).

Coconut yoghurts tend to be much lower in protein and are more of a fat source.

2️⃣ Check the ingredients list
Shorter is better. Look for real food ingredients and try to avoid long lists filled with numbers, preservatives and unnecessary additives.

3️⃣ Compare sugars per 100g
Ideally aim for

As a Paediatric Dietitian of 25 years — and a mum — this is how I rate peanut butter for kids 👇

🥜 1. 100% Australian peanuts
Simple, transparent, high quality.

🧂 2. Salt per 100g
I aim for under 350mg sodium per 100g.

🍬 3. No added sugar
If you see sugar, honey, syrup or anything similar in the ingredients list, put it back.

🛢 4. No added vegetable or seed oils
Peanuts already contain healthy fats — extra oils are unnecessary.

🧪 5. No additives
That means no stabilisers, emulsifiers or preservatives.

The best peanut butter should literally be:
peanuts (and maybe a pinch of salt). That’s it.

As a Paediatric Dietitian of 25 years (and a mum) this is how I choose a healthier ice cream for kids👇

1️⃣ Ingredients list first
I look for a short, simple ingredients list.
Ideally with no or very limited emulsifiers, and I avoid artificial colours, flavours and preservatives as much as possible.

2️⃣ Sugar per 100g matters
I always check the nutrition panel and aim for under 20g of sugar per 100g.
Lower sugar = less of a blood sugar spike and better energy regulation for kids.

3️⃣ Real dairy ingredients (if it’s creamy)
If it’s a creamy-style ice cream, I want to see cream or milk listed — not reconstituted milk powders or long dairy derivatives.
Those are usually a sign of a much more highly processed product.

Ice cream can absolutely fit into a balanced family diet — it’s just about choosing smarter options.

As a Paediatric Dietitian and mum, here’s how I choose a healthy kid’s cracker:

1️⃣ A short ingredients list
Ideally just three ingredients — a whole-grain carb, a good quality oil, and a pinch of salt. The shorter and more recognisable, the better.

2️⃣ Minimal additives
Avoid numbers, preservatives and flavours as much as possible. Crackers seem simple… but many are far more processed than parents realise.

3️⃣ Check the salt per 100g
