Inside, you will learn

What is actually going on at the table

For many children, eating is a sensory experience before it is anything else. The texture, smell, sounds, movement, and even the way their body is positioned can affect how they respond to food. Learn to recognize what your child may be reacting to, so mealtime struggles start to make more sense.

How to set up a meal they can handle

Positioning, seating, and the mealtime environment can make a bigger difference than simply offering another new food. Learn practical changes you can make at home to create a mealtime environment that feels safer and more manageable for your child.

What to do next, in your own kitchen

Get practical activities, recipes, and step-by-step strategies for introducing textures and supporting your child's feeding development. Then use the final chapter to build your own Feeding with Love Plan, so you know what to try next instead of wondering what to do at the next meal.

Twenty-five years of kitchen tables and feeding clinics. NICU babies, tube-fed toddlers, eight-year-olds living on beige food.

The families who turn it around are rarely the ones who found a clever trick. They are the ones who understood what their child was reacting to. That is why I wrote this down.
