Just caught up with lunch shenanigans. I gave my two boys (3 and 15 months) the same thing they have for lunch pretty much everyday - picnic bits ie cut up cucumber, pepper, apple, with bread, cheese and Humus dip. For dinner we all have the same thing. I batch cook it and defrost daily cos no one has time for all that cooking for one tiny portion for one tiny child.
If she really wanted to tap into something it would be batch cooking for kids. She’s not got a clue. She isn’t sharing what she’s “learned“ about nutrition, what different foods kids need to eat, or discussing how exposure to food through messy play can help stop them becoming picky. There are actually amazing insta accounts out there (not sure if I can name them) who have taught me so much about creating balance, using colour, not stressing about food refusal.
what will hinch’s book do? Nothing. what Ronnie loves or hates? No. That is stupid. He’s a baby. He doesn’t love or hate any food he is learning about texture, taste, colour etc. What pisses me off is how poorly researched and poorly educated she is about nutrition and food. She’s not just learning. Shes not educating herself. At all.
thank god for SS and Rex’s tuna sandwich to break my anger
