"Babies should be fed broccoli and spinach instead of bananas..."

I created this company as I want to change the way babies start their food journey - vegetables before fruit, or as we say here at Foodie Babe HQ "Veggies first".  I also want to provide you with lots of information and research about child nutrition and food.  So, that you can decide what will work best for you and your family.

"Happy healthy eating"

I'm fiercely passionate about "happy healthy eating".  I believe that what and how we introduce food to our children in their first 1,000 days shapes their palates and relationship with food, especially healthy food, for life. 

There is more and more research that supports the "Veggies first" approach and when you think about it, it makes sense.  Can you imagine being fed breast milk/formula, then apple, banana, pear and then broccoli, spinach, silverbeet? You can see why there's some resistance. 

"Baby food matters"

The latest on this subject is from child food experts at University College London; Dr Clare Llewellyn and Dr Hayley Syrad, who have researched baby eating habits for over a decade.  They have also written a book, "Baby Food Matters", which is based on nearly 100 scientific papers and articles they both have published on this subject.

Dr Llewellyn said: ‘The most important thing when you introduce solid foods is to introduce the foods babies are more likely to reject."

"They say parents who attempt to give infants vegetables after starting them with fruit ‘may be disappointed’. Even if it takes 15 attempts with a vegetable to make children like it, studies suggest this strategy works to make children less fussy, healthier eaters."

"If you introduce savoury foods, particularly the more bitter-tasting vegetables like broccoli and spinach which children often struggle with, or cauliflower which they are reluctant to eat, they are more accepting of those foods going forward."

Are you about to start "veggies first"?  Did you do fruit first with baby number 1 and are now thinking, perhaps you'd like to try something different with baby number 2? As always, I'd love to hear your thoughts on this subject.

Happy healthy eating!

  • How’s it going, foodiebabenz?

    OK, I‘ve always wanted to be Instagram-”big”, too.

    If you are like me, you’ve trawled Instagram, wondering “how do so many friggin people get so famous”?

    Picture this: You arise early Friday, even before your alarm does.

    You spring up to check your phone.

    Flipping to Instagram.

    Whoaaa, you think, Over 561 likes on one picture.

    Heading to the kitchen, you put the kettle on for some tea and check your Instagram while you wait.

    Bam! Another 63 likes.

    And another message just popped up. It is from some follower asking about your diet, and giving you daps on your sixth official month of practicing yoga.

    A smirk grows on your face as you see another message. This person emailed you to let you know she loves your posts.

    Within minutes, your phone buzzes AGAIN.

    It is another message coming in. You glance up at the clock—almost time for the gym. You will have to hit them up later.
    Listen, foodiebabenz, most people just aren’t in control of their life. Heck, they can’t even force themselves to eat a balanced brekky, much less hit the gym.

    My job is to take people from Instagram anonymous to Insta-celebrity. (It sounds stupid, but results don’t lie.)

    Imagine if you increased your engagement by 100%, or 1000%?

    It is not difficult to do, although almost no one does. Just check out our website. There, you will learn how to garner Instagram followers and likes like mad…easily.

    Our super savvy, confidential service automatically sends likes to your pictures a few minutes after you’ve posted them.

    If you are anything like our other clients, you will have a great chance of hitting the “Top Post” section in a very short time.

    This is all great, but you’ve actually got to put in the work to make it happen. Actually, it’s not real work.
    1. Check out https://brightjam.icu
    2. Enter your Instagram username.
    3. The three pictures you uploaded last will get 10 – 15 likes. Just like that.

    Being a regular on that page will supercharge your growth 10x, easy. But if you want the fame, you’ve got to reach for it. Are you ready?

    See you on the flipside.

  • Hey, foodiebabenz!

    OK, I used to be Instagram-”big”, too.

    Well, today I’m going to teach you some things that will change forever the way you Instagram.

    Picture this: You arise early in the morning, even before your alarm does.

    Roll over, check the phone.

    Opening up Instagram.

    Youare flabbergastered at what is waiting for you: Over 832 likes on one of your pictures! There, you see a a huge amount of likes on your pictures—over 832 on a single photo alone.

    You put your fuzzy slippers on and head to the kitchen for some tea. After putting on the kettle, you pull out your phone again.

    Presto! Another 49 likes.

    Here comes another one. This time it’s not a like but a message from one of your followers. They commend you on your success and let you know they adore waking up to your content.

    A smirk grows on your face as you see another message. This person emailed you to let you know she loves your posts.

    As you sip your tea, you start typing up your response. But then your cell buzzes.

    It’s another message coming in. You glance up at the clock—almost time for the gym. You will have to reply later.
    Let’s stop the simulation there. Most people have a hard time acquiring what they want in life. People can hardly get themselves to eat a good breakfast.

    Now, let’s learn to take control of your Instagram.

    Now, what if you raised your engagement by 100%, or 1000%?

    Truth is, it’s not the most difficult thing in the world to get more. As an example, all the old pros use our website.

    2. Enter your Instagram username.
    3. The 3 pictures you uploaded last will receive 10 – 15 likes. Just like that.

    Hitting the Top Post page will 10X your InstaGrowth. But you have got to do more than just want it—you’ve got to do something about it. Are you willing?

    See you on the flipside.
