Peaches might be my favourite fruit to cook with for little ones, and they are in season! Soft, golden, sweet without a thing added. 🍑

Quick one, because people mix these up: 🥣 Crumble = dry rubbed oat and flour topping 🍪 Cobbler = soft biscuit dough spooned on

This is crumble through and through.

Gluten free and vegan too. Not us at home, but it matters for plenty of families.

I peeled the peaches on purpose. The skin gets stringy and chewy. That texture is genuinely tricky for younger or newer eaters to manage. Take it off and you lower the demand, so the skill can build first.

A few honest notes: ✨ Maple is optional, we skip it, the fruit carries it 🍋 Very ripe batch? A squeeze of lime wakes the whole thing up 👶 Under 12 months: no maple, honey or agave 🍦 Coconut ice cream is just coconut yoghurt whisked with a splash of coconut milk, then frozen

The myth that won’t die: that babies need their own separate “baby food” while everyone else eats the real meal. 🙄

Spoiler — they don’t. One pot, one flavour, the whole table fed. The only thing that changes between the baby plate and yours is how it’s served (and there’s one small tweak most people get wrong 👀).

This chicken & aubergine curry is my go-to proof that family meals don’t need a kids’ menu. Soft, tender, packed with iron and flavour — and yes, your 6-month-old can absolutely have it.

Season with salt only for adults after plating. Watch to the end for the one adjustment that makes it baby-safe without dumbing it down. 🍛

Save this for your next “what do I even cook tonight” spiral, and tell me below: are you still making separate meals, or has your baby joined the grown-up table? Full recipe in the comments👇

Pasta salad has a reputation as the sad beige bowl nobody finishes, but it might be the most useful lunch you make all summer.

One bowl genuinely stretches from babies to husbands, you just adjust the chop and the textures for whoever’s eating.

For toddlers it’s brilliant, because the build format lets you anchor a safe, familiar food they already trust and set something new right next to it with no pressure to touch it.

That’s how a child gives a new texture a go, on their own terms, with a safe option always within reach.

And because you’re layering a protein, a fat, some fibre and an energy base, the bowl ticks the nutrition boxes without you having to think too hard about it.

Just make sure everything is cut in an age-appropriate way for your child, since round, firm foods like cherry tomatoes and whole olives need halving or quartering for little ones. Five combinations below to get you started.

Before this gets taken the wrong way: the moms making those flawless lunch boxes are doing so much, so gracefully, and I have nothing but respect for it. This was never a callout.

It’s about the standard underneath it. Pretty rarely means nutritionally optimal. So much of what photographs beautifully leans on flour and starch as the base, blended and shaped until it’s soft and hard to recognise.

From around 6 months, your child is learning what food actually is, and the early window is when showing them carrot as carrot, not carrot hidden in a muffin, does the most work.

For toddlers, fun food is a tool and a way to connect. Not a crutch for sneaking things past them. And the picture-perfect lunch box? Completely unreasonable.

Do you also feel the pressure, and that you are not doing enough? Share below and we’ll brainstorm :)

Smaller appetite in hot weather isn’t fussiness, it’s physiology.

When body temperature climbs, digestion slows and little ones naturally want less, cooler, and more often. Pushing a steaming lunch onto a sweaty toddler rarely ends well.

So I swap, not battle: no-cook plates, hydrating fruit and veg, and chilled snacks that still carry protein, fat and fibre.

Water in food counts as much as the cup they (sometimes) drink.

Aim for all the building blocks if you can — but on a 32°C day, two out of four is still a win.

Save this for the next hot spell, and tell me: what’s the one cool meal yours will always say yes to? 🍉

You count the protein. Did they get enough today, should you push a bit more at dinner. But a young child needs surprisingly little of it: roughly 13g a day for a toddler. One egg covers nearly half. A small piece of chicken or a spoon of full-fat yoghurt closes the rest. Protein is rarely where kids actually fall short.

Fibre is the quieter gap, and it only comes from produce and wholegrains. A toddler needs around 8g a day, and it builds slowly. A pear with its skin gives about 5g, a small handful of raspberries about 4g, a serving of broccoli roughly 2.5g. Put those together and you’re there. Skip the veg and fruit, and almost nothing else fills it in.

So the gap is rarely protein. It’s colour, fibre and variety. Save this for the next plate you build.

Porridge doesn’t have to mean oats and it definitely doesn’t have to be sweet.

Breast milk and formula are naturally sweet, so savoury breakfasts are actually doing important work: they widen your baby’s palate from the very first spoonfuls.

These five are in regular rotation in my house and with my client families. Two are grain-free for the youngest eaters, and the congee is my go-to when someone’s poorly or constipated.

Every one of them has protein and fat built in, because porridge made with water alone is just a blood sugar rollercoaster.

Which one are you trying first?

Iron is the nutrient I get asked about most, and the one most likely to actually run low in babies after six months.

The good news is you don’t need fortified cereal or supplements to cover it. You need iron-rich food, offered often, in a texture your baby can manage.

These four purées do double duty. Heme iron from lamb, sardines and liver absorbs easily on its own. The lentil combo leans on tomato, because vitamin C roughly doubles how much plant iron the body takes up.

Batch them, freeze them in small portions, and rotate. No single meal needs to be perfect. The pattern across the week is what counts.

Which one would your baby try first?
