So many parents ask me, 'How do I know if my baby is hungry or full?'. Sometimes it might be really obvious, and other times they're crying and we don't know what to do. I'm going to show you what to look for with your baby starting right now.

My name is Lindsay, and welcome to The Little Foundations YouTube channel, where I help parents and caregivers create healthy habits for their babies from the very start. Let's do this!

Of course, every baby is different, and you are going to find that your baby has their own unique cues and signals, and you and your baby's caregivers will start to learn how to look for these cues. I'm going to share with you some of the most common ones so that you start to know what to look for.

And one of the most important things I can share right now is that your baby's cues for when they're full are just as important as when they're hungry.

Sometimes we miss their cues, and we start to overfeed them by accident, and then they start to get really...

I'm going to share with you seven things I want you to know about bottle feeding your baby. First, let's say if you're watching this, congratulations! I am so excited for you and your whole family.

My name is Lindsay, and welcome to The Little Foundations YouTube channel, where I help parents and caregivers create healthy habits with their babies from the very start.

Alright, let's start with number one. This is called the suck, swallow, breathe pattern. This is something that we're looking for when your baby starts drinking from a bottle. If your baby was a premature baby or had any health issues, they need a little bit more time to get into their routine. But most all babies can benefit from a little bit more time when they get started.

It's a lot of work for babies to eat. It takes up a lot of energy, and they have to learn how to get into their own flow, their...

I'm going to share with you my number one top secret to avoiding picky eating for your little one. Not only, after doing this for more than 10 years, but the research shows that the number one thing that you can do to help your child avoid picky eating down the road is to expose them to food without pressure all the time.

Maybe you think that sounds too easy or too good to be true. In my experience and what the research shows, is that exposing your child to food without the pressure that they need to eat it is what's going to help them in the long run. Now, let me share with you the top three ways that you can include this in your routines right away.

My name is Lindsay and welcome to the Little Foundations YouTube channel, where I help parents and caregivers to create healthy habits with their little ones from the very start. Like I said, exposure to food without the pressure that they need to eat it is one of the things that we see helps children to not be picky and to be...

Today, I'm going to show you five things you can do when your baby starts refusing their food, throwing things down, or refusing the things they used to love. I'm going to show you five things you can start doing right now. Just in case, my name is Lindsay and welcome to the Little Foundations Channel, where I help parents and caregivers create healthy habits for their babies from the very start.

First, let me say that it's normal that your baby will get to this stage. It's normal in their development that they want a little bit more independence and sometimes they become a little bit more opinionated. Sometimes it's out of nowhere; they might start refusing all the things that you're offering, even things they used to really love. I'm going to show you things that we can do to avoid meltdowns and start to make this a happy experience again.

Number one, I call this "Lovingly Ignore". What you're going to do when your baby starts refusing is that we're going to lovingly ignore them....

I'm going to share with you the top 5 things that I hear families say that I never say to kids during mealtime, and what you can do and say instead. 

My name is Lindsay, and welcome to the Little Foundations Channel, where I help parents and caregivers create healthy habits with their little ones from the very start. Let's do this. 

All right, number one: I never say "just eat it." For many kids, it is about control. It is about feeling comfortable enough to eat that food, and it's not something that they can just do. And even though you want the best for them, you saying "just eat it" is not an invitation that they really want to accept. 

So instead, I really try to put no pressure on kids. I might eat something myself and then explain to them how I feel. I might say, "Oh, this is so crunchy," or "This is so juicy," and I leave it at that. And that is more of an invitation that they'll be intrigued and curious, and it might take them a few times or over a few days...

Let's talk about poop!

Let's talk about your baby's poop and how to keep things moving for your little one. I'm going to share with you my top tips for constipation - what foods to eat, what foods to avoid, and how to keep things moving for your baby.

As always, with any of this, you want to check with your medical team. Only you and your medical team know what's best for your baby. Constipation is very normal. It happens when babies are starting to eat new foods or start with a new formula, start purees or baby-led weaning. Babies' bellies change a lot, especially in the first year, and so when anything changes in their diet, we'll see that reflected in their poop.

Normal constipation only lasts for a short time, but anything that we can do to help our babies and relieve that pain is going to be better for everyone. So, I'm going to show you all the things you can do to get your baby more comfortable, starting right now.

My name is Lindsay, and welcome to the Little Foundations Channel, where I help parents and caregivers create healthy habits for their babies from the very start.

Alright, two general rules before we get started:

First, if you haven't already, I want you to go and watch my video on the Six Steps to Get Your Baby Ready to Start Eating. We want to make sure that before we even talk about spoon feeding, your baby is ready to start eating.

Second, I want to make sure that we are reading their cues. There are cues for when they're hungry, when they're full, when they're overwhelmed, or a little bit scared by all of this new feeding. So we want to make sure we're reading all of their cues.

Let's start with number one: No airplane. I know that this looks fun, but it...

My name is Lindsay, and welcome to the Little Foundations Channel, where I help parents and caregivers create healthy habits for their babies from the very start.

Let's jump right in with number one. I want you to keep it real, and I want you to keep your baby really involved. That means you want your baby to be a part of every step of this. We don't want the food to just show up on the table or show up on their tray. We want them to see every step in between. So, we want them to go to the garden with us or go to the supermarket. We want them to be a part of putting the food away or washing it. When they're older, they can be a part of the cooking, serving, and cleaning up. If your baby is a little bit older and they can understand things like "Let's count four potatoes" or "Let's look for...

My name is Lindsay, and welcome to the Little Foundations Channel, where I help parents and caregivers create healthy habits with their babies from the very start.

Alright, our first E is Encouragement. And by encouragement, I don't mean, "Hey, try this, eat that". I mean that this is when our baby is going to start to learn from us. From a very young age, babies start to see how other people in the house interact with food, how they react to food, and how they react when...
