Because they needed to feed babies who just would NOT eat.

​"If you think breastfeeding is tough - wait till she starts eating solids."

I was told this by the mom of a toddler when I was the mom of a newborn. 

Over the years I discovered that most moms were terrified of meal times. 

Because they needed to feed babies who just would NOT eat. 

And it struck me as terribly sad - that food - the element that brings people together - was creating a rift in the mother baby relationship. 

Especially because food ensures survival - and since babies are completely focused on survival - they should actually love eating. 

In this article for Morisons Baby Dreams  I write how to make babies love eating and how to manage fussy eating.
