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.
