Let’s help our fellow pregnant mammas out and comment below on what YOU wish you knew during pregnancy!⬇️🤰🏽🥰

🤔Your baby didn’t eat the food you tried to give them, what now?⁠
⁠
💓When you are starting solids with your baby, it is important to know there will be many times that your baby won’t eat and that is completely normal. It is normal for a baby’s appetite to vary day to day or meal to meal. If they are not hungry one meal, don’t stress! Wait until the next or try again tomorrow. Introducing foods to your baby are as much about enjoyment, texture, flavour and play as it is about nutrition.⁠
⁠
Some things to consider⬇️⁠
- Avoid coaxing to get them to eat. Forcing or tricking your baby to eat if they have refused can make mealtimes stressful for children and creates unhealthy eating habits.⁠
- Follow your baby’s cues for hunger or fullness at mealtimes.⁠
- Your baby missing a meal does not automatically mean they will wake up at night, particularly if they are still being breastfed or with formula.⁠
- It is okay & completely safe to end the meal if your baby is not hungry!

⭐The beginning of your pregnancy journey can often be overwhelming and stressful! There is a lot to learn on how to prepare for a healthy 9 months carrying and growing your newest addition to the family. So, what can YOU do to optimise your pregnancy health❔⁠
⁠
1. Nourish your body: Eat whole foods that contain the nutrients that will be in high demand with a growing baby, including iron, folate and choline.⁠
⁠
2. Manage your pregnancy symptoms! If you’re struggling with nausea, include vitamin B6 rich foods into your diet, such as tuna, salmon, dark leafy greens and legumes.⁠
⁠
3. Add supplements that fill your nutrition gaps, particularly iron, folate, iodine, and choline. Not every prenatal is created equal and MORE is not necessarily BETTER either - it’s important to find one that works for you. Work with your GP or Dietitian to determine this ⁠
⁠
4. Find support! Stop guessing what to eat, feel good and seek help from a health professional.⁠

🍎 How much fruit and veg should my toddler be eating??⁠
⁠
According to the Australian Dietary Guidelines, toddlers (ages 2-3 years) should be aiming to consume 1 serve of fruit, and 2.5 serves of vegetables.⁠
⁠
But what does a ‘serve’ look like?⁠
1 serving of fruit may be:⁠
- 1 C diced fruit⁠
- 2 small kiwifruits⁠
- 2 small apricots⁠
- 2 small plums⁠
- 1 medium apple⁠
⁠
1 serving of veg may be:⁠
- ½ C cooked vegetables, such as broccoli, spinach, carrots or pumpkin⁠
- ½ C cooked, dried or canned beans, peas or lentils⁠
- 1 C leafy or raw salad vegetables⁠
⁠
😄 Giving your toddler smaller amounts of fruit and veg throughout the day makes it a lot easier to reach these guidelines! Blending fruit and veg into purees, smoothies or in baked goods is also a great tip. ⁠
