8 Toddler Food Hacks Every Parent Should Know | Easy Meals & Recipes

Chopped pancakes is the best hack ever

My daughter and I make smoothies once in a while, this is us , she has to cover her ears everytime too! I just haven’t been adventurous enough to add veggies lol I NEED to check out more sweet/ sour smoothie recipes with veggiezzzz

When you did the „scrambled pancakes“ all I could think about is that you kinda did „Kaiserschmarren“ a dish common in Germany/Swiss/Austria but you add raisins 😂

Love your sky blue sweatshirt. Can you share the brand? It’s giving me Free People vibes 😊❤😍

Giving a toddler a stick? Probably not very smart

Congratulations on hitting 1 million followers.

I'm offended that you consider Sage a picky eater 😅.. my 5 year old acts like he's tasting mud when I have him try fruits or veggies 🙈. When he was younger he'd eat EVERYTHING! Sighh..

My biggest struggle at the moment is my 20 month refusing food I prepare for meals and throwing it on the floor. It can be frustrating. I feed him baby snacks in between meals so maybe I should not give him snacks.

hot water touching the vegetable literally zaps all of the nutrients--steaming or roasting are the only way to retain the nutrients just saying- I get that boiling the broccoli with the pasta is faster, but zaps the nutrients- People should know that before deciding to cook it that way, especially when feeding their child.

I’m really struggling with my toddler eating anything! No matter what I try in terms of recipes or textures it’s always been a no!

Hey NiKole, mine 8 month old is already becoming a picky eater 😂 loves all the fruits but doesn’t like the other stuff. I already have the baby book and trying the lentil bolognese soon :)

My biggest challenge is getting my 3yo to try new things - she’s picky and it’s soooo difficult 😢

My biggest struggle is getting my kids to try new foods - no matter what I try, they end up refusing it :/

Congrats on 1M 🎉🎉🎉🎉

My biggest struggle is making my toddler eat vegetables. As a baby, she would eat anything and I thought that BLW would result to nonpicky eaters. There are times wherein we would be frustrated as she also wont finish her food. Im hoping I could get tips from your cookbook and help my child eat healthier.

So thankful for you and your videos, such a big help in my journey - I also have an almost 4 year old and a 9month old baby (3 year gap also 😉) And watching your channel has been my guilty pleasure and rest as well (its only you who I follow constantly haha) 🩷 I havent messaged you (been meaning to) but we had the same journey (waiting for delivery of the 2ndborn - mine came on her due date) and I also did 2 natural deliveries. I can totally relate with most of your content so thank you for the inspiration, I feel like you are our virtual mommy friend 🩷 and congratulations on your million followers, please continue sending positive vibes our way. Im from Australia so Im happy that I found your channel even from miles away 😀 thank you, Nikole and your family and team 😀

My biggest struggle is upgrading in texture Im scared my baby will choke with anything 😭😭😭

Biggest struggle with feeding my 3 year old is getting him to eat more food vs milk.

Love your channel! My biggest struggle is just being intimidated by what to make her. My husband and I had horrible eating habits before my pregnancy and have been learning about nourishing foods so we can be healthy and active for her, and also teach her healthy habits. Having one of your cookbooks would be a so helpful! I'm planning to invest in one when my husband gets his 1st paycheck after going back to work from an injury he received in January. Thank you for all you share! ❤ I can't wait till my Ellie is old enough to help me in the kitchen, seeing Sage helping is too cute!

Being picky!

My biggest struggle is when my son likes something one day and hates it not long after. The indecisiveness is frustrating at times.

My biggest struggle with my 10 month baby is to try allergenic food. my baby is allergic to oats, so since the moment we discovered it, I am afraid to activate another allergic reaction and be alone at home.

My biggest struggle with feeding my toddler is that she loves crunchy foods and detests soft, mushy foods but she struggles with real choking, I almost had to call for an ambulance a week and a half ago.

I struggle with the most basic, yet most important thing. My son does not like drinking water, he will spit it out and make himself wet, or💧💦💧 make bubbles instead of drinking it. If it's juices or milkshakes he'll devour it.
He's getting constipated because of this. Any advice would be much appreciated ❤❤❤

A big struggle with feeding my youngster is getting him not to ask for everything else thats not on the table!

Love these tips! My biggest struggle is the chocking anxiety with BLW!

I can’t get my two year old to eat vegetables! Help!!

My biggest struggle was with BLW and not freaking out everytime my baby was gagging a bit. It was hard actually feeding him table foods because of the stress I personally felt

My biggest struggle is creating a variety of meals. I ususally go for the same foods and I'm starting to feel like its lacking creativity. My toddler sometimes may not want to eat because they can tell its the same thing over and over! Lol.... I need to switch things up and I know your cookbook will help me with that!

Hiding veggies in my toddlers food is the only way she will eat them. I also offer that same veggie as is with the meals (doesn’t touch it 😂)

My biggest struggle with feeding my 9m old is that he’s allergic to both peanuts and eggs! Eggs feature so prominently in a lot of things so I’m trying to be creative. These tips are helpful as my baby grows older!

My biggest struggle with feeding my toddler is that she chokes on everything she eats. 🥲 She went to food eating therapy and has made insane progress but she’s still always choking. 🤪 She’s also allergic to eggs so all the soft foods are are out the window. 😂

Omg the attention span being so short!! Having them focus on eating their meal can be the biggest challenge!!!

Love your channel so much! All of your content has been so helpful to me as a new mom with a now 6 month old! It’s great because when you release new content about Oakley we are at that exact stage with my LO 🩵. I’ve been feeling overwhelmed by starting solids and struggling with what to feed my little guy everyday. Thank you for the inspiration and realness!

My baby girl is a month younger than yours and her name is also Oakley! 🥰
My biggest struggle is coming up with meal ideas for her at this age while introducing foods! Have been wanting to get my hands on your baby cookbook! 🫶🏼

To be honest I’m still not struggeling since my baby is still only 3 months old. But I’m really anxious about everything and have a feeling that I need a guide to start each and every phase, to make sure that I’m doing it right 😊

Biggest struggle is that my toddler will eat for anyone but me. I have to cook and then have our nanny give it to him in order for him to eat it. If I give it to him, he takes one look and says “me no like” 😂

My biggest struggle is getting to the high chair. As soon as meal time is announced, a marathon ensues

My biggest struggle is just making sure I have food ready for her! I’m still not used to the fact that I have to have real food for her all the time now haha

I struggle thinking of what to cook!😅😅

Biggest struggle is to get my wee man to taste something new. He will look at it and say yuck! And it could be anything from vegs to bread to choc 🤷‍♀️

My biggest struggle is getting my 12 month old to eat “meals” she would much rather snack. 😅

I love your idea of adding broccoli and extra protein to mac & cheese. My toddlers favorite thing to eat. I’m only worried that if she sees the green, she may not touch it. I will definitely try this hack and hope to win your e-book for more wonderful recipes. I agree that this will be a work in progress and will later see the fruits of my labor. Things like this take time and don’t always happen overnight. You are a wonderful mother and I enjoy your videos.

My struggle is when I give my toddler her “safe” food but then doesn’t want to try anything else! 😆

Getting to try new foods that are healthy. If it doesn’t look good they won’t eat.

My biggest struggle is trying to come up with new recipes to make, and new ways to prepare some of the foods my baby likes. That and trying to teach her how to drink through a straw 😆

No struggle yet cuz no babies 😅but looking forward to have some struggles in the near future 😌 love your healthy recipes!

My biggest struggle was how to cook with food alergies. When he had 25 food alergies it was very difficult. Now 3 years later is about 10 food and I can navigate it, but sometimes is very hard to find something new to try. Because combination wheat, milk, soy and nuts are really tought. I am person who loves to explore new foods but with this difficulty is it hard but I am trying. My son starts to eat so much and I really want for him to eat healthly and have options. So some insipration would be really helpful. Now we are expecting baby number two and I hope this kid can eat everything. So it will be new beggining with solids later and I hope this time I will have child who is not scared to eat and can enjoy food as his foodie parents.

Siblings influencing picky eating! If one doesn't like something the other is out

Biggest struggle is to grow my preschooler’s spice tolerance. She had an excellent spice tolerance but daycare food seems to have blunted the edge. She lovessss food and is game to try anything and everything but seems to shy away from hot foods these days 😢

I’m starting solids with my 6month old baby and my big struggle is getting nervous about how he would react to my recipes 😅
