The Early Years Dietitian

02/04/2025

Another happy family to share with you today.

When Mum first reached out to me life felt stressful. This little man was firmly stuck on chicken nuggets, waffles and no vegetables. He wouldn't dream of eating a school dinner, let alone entertain having the sweetcorn on the plate.

We've had two appointments so far, life is much less stressful, some new foods have started to come into his diet AND here he is eating a school dinner for the first time ever!

I'm not lying when I say that reviews/comments like this genuinely make my day and I always well up with happiness.

If you want to turn mealtimes around in your house, make life less stressful and see smiles like these pictures please DM me and we can chat about how I can help.

My positive mealtimes package can be booked here if you are ready to go!

Did you know that McDonald's chips are one of the most widely accepted foods amongst extremely fussy eaters and those with ? But why?

Because they are super consistent. You can eat a chip like that anywhere in the world and it will generally taste the same. Then add in that eating uses ALL of our senses - what do McDonalds do other than making food taste the same? They ensure that all the sensory input you get from the environment is the same too: lighting, smell, setting etc. When a child walks in everything is familiar which keeps them regulated from a sensory point of view and helps them to eat.

Also, it's OK if your child eats chips regularly. Many parents worry about giving this kind of 'beige' food regularly but there's more to giving chips than you might expect.

Do you have a regular chip eater?? How do you feel about it!?

I searched for a fitting photograph to sum up the year and this one fits the bill for me. It’s been a mixed bag of a year for sure. Professionally I have had the pleasure of working with some amazing companies and brands delivering workshops for .happybaby and ; writing content for and as well as programmes for . Working alongside the amazing .cormack has been a pleasure as well. Last but not least has been an amazing support again this year! I have LOVED being back working for . I don’t take any of the opportunities for granted and every day is a privilege to do a job I adore.

Personally it has been a difficult year and I am eternally grateful to the friends and family that have offered shoulders to cry on, sleepovers and play dates to my children and a million other small gestrures that have kept me going. So this picture sums it up… 2024 has been one day at a time, enjoying the simple things like a kind word from a friend and arriving home to beautiful flowers on the doorstep.

To those of you struggling; it’s a cliche but there is ALWAYS light to be found amongst the darkness and if you have nobody to reach out to my inbox is open to you.

Thank you for every like, share, comment, booking and all the support this year you have no idea how much you have all made 2024 manageable.

Onwards to 2025! Happy new year to you all 😘😘😘

Do you know someone who's weaning their baby onto solids? 🥕

Between six months and two years old, there's lots that we can do as parents to help our babies expand their palate - and maybe, just maybe, eat their vegetables. 😅

Lucy aka The Early Years Dietitian has some top tips! ❤️
