“I am thrilled there is finally an app I’d recommend to clients, friends and family members interested in making their family mealtimes more pleasant, respectful, developmentally appropriate and positive! I loved that it is evidence-based information with the HUGE perk of more tips on how to apply it in REAL life. Great work!”

“I see and hear from so many parents worried about their children’s selective eating... this app contains a wealth of knowledge, information and guidance about children’s nutrition, mealtime strategies and psychology and I know it will be helpful to so many parents. As dietitians we tend to focus on the WHAT of feeding children but this app guides parents on the HOW of feeding too, an area of feeding/nutrition for children that is so often neglected.”
— Paula Hallam, RD, London UK
“I love this app! I have learned more about helping my picky eater accept new foods and about creating a pressure-free environment for the boys at dinnertime. love the family-style meal ideas and daily tips also. ”

“I really appreciated all of the background information, I.e. why my child may be throwing food and why he may be responding a certain way to different phrases. I also liked the Tips and how they come in as notifications—it reminded me to look at the app and also let me choose the ones that apply to me.”
— Katie W., US
“The app answered the feeding questions I even didn’t know I had. You nailed it with the Daily Tips and how they lead to deeper mealtime and nutrition topics. I also got lots of easy and practical meal ideas. ”

FAQs

Will it save me time?

If you are used to browsing the internet looking for answers to nutrition questions or ways to manage mealtime behavior, you are in for a treat. Easy Bites is the google maps of child feeding. Within seconds, it will help you discover the reason for your child's mealtime behavior and a practical way to address it, including the specific language to use, as recommended by top child feeding specialists.

I don't have any time. At all.

Got it. Many parents who are using the app love the convenience of getting a quick and easy Daily Tip that they can read in a few seconds and implement the advice immediately, even if you have no time to dive into the lessons.

What ages is the app for?

Currently, the nutrition information and advice in the app applies to kids aged from 6 months to 5 years.

Do you have recipes for different ages?

This is the best part. The app truly allows you to make just ONE meal for the whole family, even if you have tiny people to feed. In each recipe, we have a special section devoted to making the meal safe and nutritionally appropriate to self-feeding babies and toddlers.

We also have a library of foods showing how to cut it into safe shapes for babies as well as how to serve it in engaging ways to toddlers.

Is it helpful for extreme picky eaters?

The philosophy and responsive feeding strategies offered by the app are suitable for all kinds of eaters. Because the focus is on creating the environment where your child's eating personality develops and blossoms, it will benefit everyone. This said, your child may need one-on-one specialist input to support them in the areas where they may be struggling more, e.g. hypersensitivity to textures, food allergies, oral motor development, digestive issues, etc.
