Starting Solids made easy ™

Everything you need to know about introducing solids to your baby.

i'm krystyn, a pediatric registered dietitian who felt overwhelmed and confused when it came time to introduce solids to my own children. i spent countless hours researching everything i needed to know to safely and confidently introduce solids, so that you don't have to.

Research has shown that nutrition in the first 1000 days of life is critical for optimal health and development of children, but unfortunately nutrition education is limited. Doctors are given very little education on the subject and are allowed very little time at appointments to review what they do know. This leaves it up to the parents to do their own research to figure out how to do it all with little to no support. Pair that with an overwhelming amount of conflicting information on the internet and it’s no wonder that parents feel stressed and confused.

My goal is to help parents go from overwhelmed and confused to confident and empowered.

What you'll get from this course:

  • Confidence: Not only am I a nutrition expert, but I’m also a mom. I walk you through everything with a combination of evidence-based practice and real-life practicality
  • Empowerment: I explain the “why” behind the recommendations. You know exactly what to do and why you’re doing it.
  • Structure: You don’t need to waste countless hours scrolling the internet trying to put together a plan. Everything is in one place. You have access forever, so you can always refer back.
  • Sense of Peace: Starting solids and introducing allergens can be extremely stressful for parents. Having the information to back your decisions can help alleviate some of that stress.
Krystyn at Feeding Made Easy has made the transition to solids such a breeze. She's realistic with feeding kids and understands that we're all busy and things don't always go according to plan. Her advice has helped us feel more confident feeding our daughter and took away my guilt around me occasionally feeding my 7 month old avocado 3 days in a row. We now go into the week with a game plan and have more varied meals because her meals often match ours.

OK, but why should you trust me?

i was where you are when i first started feeding my kids but i have a degree in nutrition. This means I could sift through the information and determine what parents needed to know.

Krystyn smiling and looking off to the side

I am a pediatric dietitian and lactation consultant who works with parents who are feeling lost when it comes to feeding their children. I provide the information and support you need to determine what will work for your family.

After starting solids with my 2 children, I get how stressful mealtime can be. There is so much information available and it’s hard to tell what’s important.  I believe that everyone should have access to quality nutrition education. Unfortunately, most parents are left with a one page handout at the doctor’s office and whatever they can find on the internet. I am passionate that having a healthy relationship with food can have lifelong benefits and want to help parents provide that for their children.

I originally went to school to become an elementary school teacher, but soon found passion in nutrition. I now combine my love of teaching, children, and nutrition by working in pediatric nutrition. I use evidence based information with practical tips that work with real children. I am also the mom of 2 very different children. The strategies that I recommend are rooted in science, but can be adapted to meet the needs of your family. I won’t tell you what to do, but I will explain the why behind my recommendations so that you can figure out what will work with your child best. A random stranger is never going to know your child as well as you do. Families who work with me report feeling more relaxed, empowered, and confident.
