The Mini Me Dietitian: Pediatric Nutrition for Babies and Toddlers

Turn stressful feeding into joyful eating

I’m Kathy O’Bryan aka The Mini Me Dietitian.

As a Registered Pediatric Dietitian, I have always seen the importance of finding the right balance of nutrition and nourishment from day one.

Once I became a mother myself, I was not immune to the overwhelming world of advice, information, and misinformation targeted to new parents looking to feed their babies.

The first two years of your little one’s life are so important, and they set the stage for their lifelong food preferences, eating habits, and relationship with food.

I like to think of myself as the pediatric dietitian in your back pocket. I’m here to empower, not judge. I’m here to inform, not overwhelm.

Most of all, I believe parents should be empowered and confident when feeding their babies and toddlers from the very beginning. It’s time to put your questioning and worries to rest for GOOD.

What Delighted Parents Have Said About working with kathy

I don’t stress about food like I did before. Our mealtimes don’t end in tears. I wasn’t being the mom I wanted to be and now I am. He’s curious now because he’s in a space that he feels safe to be curious around food.

Prior to doing this program, I would eat dinner after I put my daughter to bed because dinner was just focused on her. I was just so anxious about her not eating enough, throwing food, not trying different things, etc. Now I’m making family meals and actually nourishing myself as well. She is eating such a wider variety of foods and our relationship with food as a family has changed for the better.

My son is trying things now that he never would have before. He’s eating textures now that I thought he just didn’t like before. I am no longer struggling to find meals to make him and I’m no longer left wondering if I’m providing everything for him nutritionally. I also have a plan when it comes to meals for our week and know how to realistically get balanced meals on the table even with my busy schedule. I am way less stressed out and am also spending less on eating out.

Before this program my daughter was only eating purees, and I was repeatedly feeding her what she seemed to like which kept us from branching out. She is now eating what we eat which is a true feeding dream for me! I no longer feel like I have to make separate foods for her, and I am more confident in feeding her which I know she can feel. Our whole family is eating better! This program has been a game changer, especially as a mom to a little girl having struggled in my own relationship with food and wanting to set her up better.

Kathy’s course changed our life completely. When we started at 10 months my son was not swallowing any food and was fully reliant on bottles. By the end of the course, we were off bottles completely and 100% on solid food. He now absolutely loves mealtime where before it was a very stressful experience for me and for him. I am so grateful for all the things we’ve learned, and I just love seeing my son thrive and actually enjoy mealtime which is something we weren’t sure we’d ever get to.
