Ok, our Starting Solids course is launching very soon, and we are now in the process of working through our next project - a toddler course!
So, all you toddler mamas….what do you need support with? What are your biggest struggles?
This course is going to pick up right where we leave off in our Starting Solids course, but it will also be helpful for toddler families in general.
I’d love your feedback in the comments about what toddler feeding struggles cause the most stress and frustration. I want to make sure we include resources to help!

Let’s talk real quick about meal prepping. Depending on the age of your little, there is likely some simple meal prep you could do over the weekend that would help setup your work week for less stress. ⁣
⁣
For instance, I try to fit in time to make just 3️⃣ easy things over the weekend. ⁣
⁣
👉 Veggie loaded muffins - a batch of these for easy snacks during the week, or to pull out and occupy Nora at the start of a meal if she’s really hungry while I get the rest of her meal together. ⁣
⁣
👉 Veggies - either roast or steam some veggies to have in the fridge for adding to Nora’s tray at meals. ⁣
⁣
👉 An easy protein - like ground beef or turkey that I can also have on hand for easy meals for Nora when there isn’t another option at the ready. ⁣
⁣
She has started to eat a lot more of what we eat, but sometimes we run out of leftovers or there’s just something spicy or that isn’t suitable for her. Then, I’ve got some stuff already in the fridge for her. ⁣
⁣
It takes me about an hour or so of active time in total do do all those things, and that hour makes the rest of the week feel a lot easier. ⁣
⁣
Do you meal prep? What’s something you always make time for making in advance? Would you find meal prep recipes and tips helpful? ⁣
⁣
Tell me in the comments!
