Our team
will take your hand and walk you through exactly what to do and how to introduce solids successfully. We’ve done all the thinking for you.
The practical information
grows with your baby, from how much and how often to feed them, through to introducing allergens and advancing with texture (even if you’re terrified of them choking). We've got it all. We’ll take you right through to toddlerhood.
The galleries
give you access to hundreds of photos of finger foods, simple recipes and meal ideas, organised into specific skill levels, with clear instructions. Zero complicated steps here.
Welcome to your judgement-free, stress-free, evidence-based approach to help you start solids successfully.
When you’ve got access to a team of paediatric dietitians and feeding specialists, here’s what happens:
You make decisions easily. No overthinking. No confusion. You know exactly what you’re going to feed your baby every meal, every day, every week.
You stop crowd-sourcing help, instead going straight to the professionals. Your Instagram returns to stalking celebrities and the only thing in your browser is that beautiful blazer you've been eyeing off.
You know you’re doing right by your child. You aren’t just confidently feeding them nutritious meals in the moment.
It’s way more than that.
You’re setting them up for a lifetime of enjoyable eating, a healthy relationship with food, and fostering connections around the dinner table.
The result?
A well-fed baby. And a relaxed parent.

Paediatric Dietitian Dr Kyla Smith
I’m here to help you feed your family well, without the overwhelm. I've worked with babies and children for over 16 years in both my clinic and online programs. I have a PhD in childhood weight management and extensive experience working with restrictive eaters.
I'm also the first (and the best!) when it comes to online solids programs. Baby Mealtimes is like one of my babies, and I've refined it for years, to give you what you actually need.
I’m also a Mum of two girls, Elsie and Cleo, and I know the struggle today’s parents have with navigating changing guidelines, information overwhelm, unhelpful advice and societal expectations.
