Hi Lyndsay
What schedule and amount of food should my 7month old be taking in and how does this increase over time? Also how do you avoid it reducing milk consumption as he's seemingly less hungry for milk since starting on solids. Thank you!

I have a 2.5 year old who absolutely refuses to eat vegetables. She was great until about 3 months ago and then started to reject everything she had previously loved (spinach, green beans, sweet potatoes.) Any suggestions for how to stretch her palette a bit?

Hi Lindsay,
I know that historically toddlers don't eat very much, but I feel bad giving my daughter the same things over and over again. She is 16 months old. Do you have any suggestions? Things that are helpful to know...I am not a very good cook, so it has to be super simple! And, we are vegetarian (hubby is vegan). Thanks in advance!
