Most parents don’t realise this… but your child’s relationship with food doesn’t actually start at the dinner table.

It starts long before the first bite. Long before the first refusal. Even before they can talk about what they like or don’t like.

From the womb through the first 1000 days, your child is already learning about taste, safety, and food comfort — shaped quietly by exposure, repetition, and what they see at home every day.

So if you’ve ever felt stuck in the “picky eating” phase, or wondered why your child refuses foods they used to eat… there’s actually a lot more going on beneath the surface.

This isn’t about pressure or perfection. It’s about understanding what’s really driving your child’s eating — and how small, calm shifts can make a big difference over time.

Worth a read if mealtimes have ever felt harder than they should be.
