Something Great To Swallow
Tips on keeping a nutritious diet and a healthy attitude about food from infancy to motherhood
(part 5 of a 5 part series)
From Stroller Strides

 

Have you ever met the mom who painstakingly prepares fresh baby food, adding the essential nutrients and offering only healthy choices to her child… and then skips her own meals because “there’s no time for a healthy meal for myself?” We must take care of ourselves and our eating habits. There’s a reason flight attendants instruct adults to put their face mask on before assisting others… we can’t give 100% if we don’t take in 100%.

You never know, you might learn you like something you never would have tried had it not been for healthy toddler eating and you aiming to set a good example!

When I was making my first

When I was making my first daughter's baby food a lightbulb went off for me. If I ate like her I would be a heck of a lot healthier. Bright colours, mostly veggies and fruit, and limited sweeteners. Oh, and she stops eating when she's full. Sounds simple, but hard for me to do (I have a wicked sweet tooth). It is inspiring and did change more than a few habits for me.
