SUBSCRIBEI stand behind Good Feeding because I know how incredible it is for children to receive not only excellent nutrition in their first few years of life, but for families to cultivate feeding habits that will help children grow up to be competent eaters who enjoy a lifelong healthy relationship with food. Given all of the challenges that modern parents face, this is no easy task. Parents need relatable, expert advice on how to instil good feeding habits into their families' daily lives as well as products they can trust to take some of the work of such a challenging task off their plates.

In the medical community, there's a clear consensus on when infants should begin complementary feeding: at 6 months old. But despite the AAP, ACOG, AAFP and WHO recommendations being very clear about this timeline, parents often start much earlier.
The primary reason that official guidelines push for this 6 month mark is that very early introduction of complementary foods has been shown to reduce breastfeeding's overall duration. The medical community also holds concerns that introducing solids prior to the age of 6 months could increase the risk of choking and aspiration, lead to diarrhea and poor gut health and contribute to the onset of certain chronic diseases later in life, including diabetes and celiac disease.
So why is there so much confusion over this?
Starting solids poses such a challenge because we’re not only trying to sort through all of the available information and opinions on the topic, but also fit a brand new feeding and food preparation routine into our already busy lives. And, in the hustle to get this done, we often forget the most important element of introducing our children to food: Helping them foster a healthy relationship with food for life.
With a death toll of over 200,000 Americans and rising from Covid-19, we are all feeling the effects of this cruel pandemic. What it has highlighted however, is that certain conditions appear to increase the severity of the symptoms and the risk of death; at the top of the list is obesity and the health complications associated with it.

We're on a mission to create not just a healthier America, but a healthier world.
At Good Feeding, we believe establishing healthy preferences at the very beginning, develops positive lifelong eating practices and fights the good fight against childhood obesity. From healthy beginnings comes healthier lives.
So, we're excited and proud to be partnering with the PHA.
