Brain Food – The Science of Baby Nutrition

A research-based guide to feeding your baby — from first bites to 18 months.

When I was starting solids with my baby, I wanted more than recipes — I wanted answers backed by science. So I dove into the research on early childhood nutrition and put together the essential guide I wish I’d had. In this course, you’ll learn exactly what the science says about how to support your baby’s brain, body, and long-term health through food — from the very first bite.

💡 You’ll learn:

• Why food before one is not just for fun — and what the research actually says

• When your baby is really ready to start solids

• The most crucial nutrients in the first 18 months:
  🧠 Iron, Choline, DHA, Vitamin D, B12, and more

• The science behind sugar and salt in baby food — and what’s too much

• How to shape lifelong healthy food preferences starting now

• What studies show about Baby-Led Weaning vs. spoon feeding

• How to choose first foods wisely — and what really matters

Whether you’re just getting ready to start solids or already a few months in, this course gives you the clarity and confidence that comes from understanding the science. 🎓 Taught by a public health researcher and parent, this class simplifies complex nutrition research into what you actually need to know — no fluff, no fear, just facts.

Please note: This course is included fully in The Science of Parenting Babies Class – so in case you care about the research behind more than just nutrition for your baby´s first 18 months, you may want to check the complete class out here.
