Honestly, I don’t believe in letting go. Letting go has many faces, but at it’s core I don’t recommend it. Sometimes we truly step back – and in doing so, we may also step away from our feeding role, the part where we bring predictability, consistency, and balance to the table. Sometimes it shows up as a hard line – ‘this is what’s for dinner’ – where connection can thin out. And sometimes letting go is more of a statement than a felt reality. On the surface we say we’re relaxed, but underneath we’re still scanning the plate, measuring bites, managing outcomes. It may look calm, yet the nervous system is still on high alert.

Clarity is what makes care without control possible. Without understanding what’s driving your child’s eating behavior, it’s almost impossible to stay out of surface-level, reactive interventions - either overstepping or stepping back too far. Both reactions are simply ways of coping with the same uncertainty about what our child’s eating might mean in the long run.

Child-led weaning honors readiness. Mom-led decisions honor reality. Only mothers can decide to wean and when based on their child and their reality. Unsolicited agendas from external parties should not be influencing the private, unique, and emotional relationship that milk* feeding is.

* all milk!

The gym was the perfect antidote for my corporate life. So I was going to the gym as much as I could, to feel good, to feel better, than I felt when I was spending my days sitting, listening, executing.

But my dedication and determination that got me so for also sneaked in my me-time. My workouts slowly became the dictators of my food choices. Food became fuel. Fuel led to empowering results. It made me feel strong enough to do it all over again the next day, both enduring my corporate job and exiting endurance training, armed with the ‘right’ foods.

I didn’t yet see how that ‘healthy’ mindset would chase me into motherhood, making me overthink food choices to raise the healthiest kid ever.

I’ve lived inside wellness culture since 2014. I didn’t realize how many so-called ‘healthy’ food rules I was following, in the gym and beyond. I thought I was doing the right thing. Fueling my body to keep up with the high-paced life I was living. What I did felt like self-care. Like normal. Like necessary. And in many ways, it was. We all need food. But we don’t need food rules.

At the time, I didn’t question my food rules. It looked healthy. It was socially applauded. It even led me to study functional nutrition, and later dietetics. This is where my story begins. Because the rules I lived by didn’t disappear when I became a mother. They amplified. They became louder. And they started shaping how I fed my child. This is exactly why I now help mothers raise healthy eaters - without turning food into a performance test.

Not every child can eat everything offered, and no child needs to finish their soup (or plate) if it does not feel right.

Smaller portions - to taste or to refuse - can be helpful. So can safe foods, and speaking up to provide safe eating experiences. This makes me feel unsure as a mother, because it looks like my child ‘can’t do’ something - will disrupt a system. He might not finish his soup, but he is a champion listening to his body. Guess what matters most to me 🧡

And you know what? I do want to disrupt systems as a dietitian. But out there, in the field, as a mother,
that’s hard. Especially the speaking up part. Let’s raise a generation that finds speaking up easy🧡

Our bodies are under attack. And instead of flagging it as a hostile invasion of our bodily sovereignty, we comply because we think it’s healthy. Let’s raise a generation that feels what’s self-care and what’s self-harm, from within.

Protein is almost everywhere in the shops. I mean, almost every product is reduced to it’s protein content. Okay, we need protein. We need enough protein. I did not say we don’t need protein. We’re humans is protein is one of the macro’s we need. But not to the point protein intake is becoming a national sport. Marketing needs and your needs are 2 different things.

We’re not victims of food products. But I do believe our eating patterns can be a product of patterns, for example, eating too less, restricting yourself, watching out. And of course there a more reasons why we sometimes overeat, for example when we feel lonely, or sad. Also there, patterns over products. Not every food makes us overeat. It’s often the ones we were taught are ‘only’ for special occasions, ‘only’ one, or ‘only’ after the veggies.

In this perspective, permission can be more protective than restriction. A lot of parents then think, so okay, what, ‘never say no, again?’. I did not say that. There’s a way to be permissive without losing your parental responsibility. If you wonder what this practically means, please send me a DM.
