How to Feed Your Baby Without Losing Your Mind ft. Chef Sophia Roe

This week, I’m joined by my friend, chef and fellow mom Sophia Roe, because feeding your baby somehow comes with more homework than feeding yourself ever did. What do you actually make? Does everything need to be homemade? And what happens when you’re a professional chef and your baby has absolutely no interest in what you’re serving? I’m asking as a new mom who wants to feed her baby well without turning every meal into a performance review. We get into making food for a tiny person with opinions, the pressure to get it all right, and which parts of feeding our kids we’re making harder than they need to be. Plus, feeding yourself when you’ve spent the entire day thinking about what someone else needs to eat. We also make room for Sophia’s experience of pregnancy and postpartum as a Black woman, and what it means to feel heard when you’re the one who needs care. And in Good Mom, Bad Decision?, we get into store-bought shortcuts, dinner that doesn’t look like Instagram, and taking your baby’s review of your cooking a little personally. — Topics include: - What a chef actually feeds her baby - Homemade food and store-bought shortcuts - Introducing new foods without making every bite a big event - When your baby rejects what you made - The pressure to be a “good” food mom - Feeding yourself, too - Sophia’s maternal health experience - Making mealtime feel manageable - Your baby does not know you saved that recipe on Pinterest. — Thank you to our sponsor: Give your clothes a second life with Vinted.
