Featured Response 💬 

“Getting my 4 year old to eat anything can be a challenge since he is so picky. For dinner if he eats 2 chicken nuggets, a handful of grapes and licks a tomato, I consider that a success.”

Oh, I hear you! Some days, just getting a nibble of something remotely nutritious feels like a major win. You’re doing great, mama! -Danielle 😊
