Happy almost-Halloween from the house where “I don’t like it” beats any costume. Six things scarier than ghosts, and two of them are serious. Grapes and popcorn are the biggest choking risks on the snack table. And “it’s just a phase” is how a child who eats five foods gets to school still eating five foods. If that’s your kid, you’re allowed to ask for a referral. Which one got you? 👇

I have two sons. The younger one will try most things. The older one takes his time, especially with new foods or familiar foods in a new shape. Both of those are normal.

What’s not fine is what happens when other people are at the table. “Look how well your brother eats!” It sounds like encouragement. It’s a ruler, and both boys just got measured with it.

The praised one gets a title he now has to defend. The compared one hears “you’re behind”, in the one area where pressure backfires.

Fair isn’t equal. One of mine needs a new food left alone on his plate for weeks. The other needs to be told that’s enough for today. Same table, different jobs.

The goal isn’t two boys who eat the same. It’s two boys who know they’re different, and on the same side.

Which one do you hear more at your table: the praise or the comparison? 👇

One of the most frequent questions, answered simply

13/10/2026

Both babies are being fed. Only one is learning to eat.

Up top, watch the head tip back and the chin lift. That small movement lets gravity do the work, so the lips, tongue and jaw switch off. It looks like eating, but no skill is being built. In feeding therapy that head tilt is a red flag, not a milestone.

In the bottom clip the head stays level and the spoon waits. The baby leans in, the top lip draws the food off, the tongue carries it back, the jaw holds steady. Lip seal, tongue control, jaw stability. The real work of eating, happening in real time, and the neutral head keeps the swallow safe while it does.

Here’s what no one tells you. Most parents, and plenty of professionals, can’t spot the difference. So if this is new to you, you haven’t got anything wrong. You just hadn’t been shown where to look.

This week, watch how your baby eats, not only how much. Then tell me what you saw.

The bottle that costs 6 EUR and the one that costs 20 EUR can both say “extra virgin” on the front.
Most of us pick by price or by label design. Neither tells you much.

Three things on the label actually matter: a harvest date (not just a best-before), an acidity figure under 0.8%, and dark glass or a tin. If a bottle has all three, you’re probably holding something good. If it’s clear glass with no date, it’s probably been sitting in light for a year, and the polyphenols that make olive oil worth buying have mostly gone.

And here’s why I care about this for small children. Under two, fat isn’t something to limit. It’s how they get vitamins A, D, E and K, and it’s half of what makes a vegetable taste like food instead of a scary liquid.

A teaspoon of real extra virgin stirred into purée or drizzled over roasted veg is one of the easiest nutrition wins there is. Half to one teaspoon per meal, from the first purées.

One more thing: that peppery catch at the back of your throat isn’t a flaw. It’s oleocanthal, and it’s the reason the good stuff is good.

Which bottle is in your cupboard right now? 👇

Most parents are not worried about milk. They are worried about taking it away.

A one-year-old who still drinks a lot of milk is usually a one-year-old who does not eat much at the table. When I say “less milk”, the first thing I hear is: “But then they will eat nothing at all.”

That is backwards. The milk is not filling the gap. It is making the gap.

A toddler who has a big cup at 4pm is not hungry at 5pm. So dinner is a few bites. So you give milk at bedtime, “to make sure they have something”. So breakfast is small. So you give more milk. The cup is replacing every meal, and the child looks like a non-eater.

Do not take the milk away. Move it. After the meal, not before. In a cup, at the table. The first few days are messy just like any change for a child. Then the appetite comes back, because nothing is in the way any more.

Milk is not the problem. Milk instead of food is.

Does your toddler drink more than they eat? 👇

Plate 1. Plate 2. Plate 3. Nothing.

The days where the broccoli just sits there, gets pushed to the side, squashed, inspected, licked and put back. It looks like failure. It isn’t. Every one of those plates counts.

Kids often need 8 to 20 calm, no-pressure tries before a new food feels safe enough to actually eat.
No bribes, no “just one bite”. Just keep putting it on the plate.

So if you’re on plate 4 right now, you’re not doing it wrong. You’re doing it. Please don’t just revert to pasta, mix everything into one sauce, or outright give up. I know… Easier said than done.

What plate are you on with the food your kid refuses? 👇
