What is DHA anyways? ➡️ DHA is an omega-3 fatty acid that serves as a primary structural component in the phospholipids of our nervous system and retina.
🐟
Often found in fatty fish like salmon, pregnant and breastfeeding women would have to eat a serving of fatty fish (low mercury fish please!) everyday to meet their DHA requirement for their baby.
🐟
Some (but very few) prenatals have DHA added, so you may need to supplement separately to equal a minimum of 300mg. My personal favorite is due to how they ensure low mercury fish are harvested for their fish oil for DHA and Vitamin D!
📚
Did you know studies are showing measurable improvement in babies at 12 months old in their problem-solving skills compared to moms who had low DHA intake!? Doi: 10.3390/nu10050529

🗣 Continue offering variety with each meal, but if they only ate the carbs at dinner it’s ok! Maybe just try a fun protein food for the tomorrows breakfast. As always, keep offering a variety on their plate and work with someone if behaviors became very restrictive/picky (impacting health, growth, avoiding whole food groups). 👩🏼 Victoria Shoemaker RDN, LD, MSHP

🧠 Choosing omega-3 rich eggs from your store or local farmer is a great and affordable food for pregnant mommas and babies/children 6+ months. 🗣 PRO tip: eggs are one of the top 8 allergens, introducing egg yolks first to babies 6+ months and waiting at least 3 days before another allergen food is a good way to monitor any possible allergen signs. Great news is if there is no allergen, eggs are a great and easy finger food for your littles LOADED with nutrition for brain development!! 🧡 Victoria Shoemaker MSHP, RDN, LD

🧠 From conception to 3 years of age, key nutrients play in an important roll in brain development (as well as every other development). 👶🏼👧🏽Not only can adequate nutrition reduce risks of variety of birth defects, but children who received adequate nutrition the first three years of life have measurably higher IQ and less behavioral issues. 😵‍💫 More later this week of specific foods that hit many of these rich nutrient areas!! 👩🏼 Victoria Shoemaker MSHP, RDN, LD

Food is more than nutrition ➡️ and I want to raise my children to be competent eaters that understand all aspects of food.
🙋🏼‍♀️
As an adult, I still work on all of these food beliefs daily. It’s very hard to override habitual judgements you used to make on others, or yourself.
🤱🏼
Being a mom and a dietitian I am trying my best to raise a child who has autonomy over their body and their eating, while also maintaining a structure and routine.
👶🏾
As my child grows, I hope to show him that food is different all around the world, in everyone’s homes, and that “healthy” is a subjective term that means something different to everyone.
🥕🥦
I also hope to teach him the magical properties in fruits and vegetables, and how protein and iron make him run fast and grow strong 💪🏼
🙋🏼‍♀️
Being a parent is hard, and when teaching our child sound food beliefs, it’s important to also reevaluate ours ➡️➡️➡️

Did you know that roughly 80%+ of your child’s brain is developed by the time their 3 years old? This is (one) reason why nutrition in our littles is so important! What key nutrients do you think are important for brain health and development? 🗣 More tomorrow 🥰

👋🏼 Hi there!!! It’s been a long time. Opening up this Instagram account was like opening up an old photo album. In the time I’ve been gone I’ve changed jobs, moved houses, and birthed another human being! 👶🏼 Looking back, I lost some of myself along the way. Truth is my passion is helping mothers with common sense ways to better our lives and our Children’s lives through evidence-based nutrition in a judge free zone. 🗣 any questions speak out!! Or sit back for easy nutrition help from one mom to another. 👩🏼Victoria Shoemaker MS, RDN, LD

🍲 Nourish bowls! A yummy go-to that I somehow forget I love…you have meals like that??? Tonight we did a base of spinach and kale, rice, chicken breast, and roasted carrots and cherry tomatoes. Topped with sprouts from
🥒 I always top it off with a quick cucumber yogurt sauce (whole fat plain yogurt, ranch packet, and shredded cucumber). Makes for a yummy and easy concoction!!
👦🏼 Also anyone else have a toddler that likes to stand and eat?? 👋🏼 we usually always get him sit, but today was a lot of driving around and hey…he’s enjoying a meal with a variety of nutritious foods so I wasn’t going to interrupt that.
Hope you enjoyed a family dinner tonight as well!! ❤️

Happy Mother’s Day to you and yours!! Motherhood, for me, is a healing thing. Where you recognize your faults and your many strengths. Where you learn that love is infinite and grows to greater amounts than you could ever imagine. Where you recognize how other women have suffered, yet loved, before you. Motherhood is a beautiful journey and I can’t imagine a greater joy in this world than my little Jameson! I’m definitely obsessed with my son and can’t wait to continue to watch him grow and love him through it all

🥣 Whether homemade or store bought, baby foods (and other cooked foods for that matter) are susceptible to food-borne bacteria after opened!
👶🏽
Especially when your baby is first getting introduced to foods, and maybe doesn’t finish a jar yet, it’s important to remember the 2 day rule of thumb for fridge storage after opened!
🥣
Help reduce bacteria growth by not eating directly from the jar, but rather dump in a separate bowl so there’s no double dipping! 🙅🏼‍♀️
