Parent Insight
"As a first time mom, I was very anxious about introducing solids in a way that met my baby's nutritional needs and calories while exposing him to a variety of foods. I wanted to make sure that our vegan lifestyle was also going to work for him but didn't have the confidence nor the knowledge to do so. Karla helped me tremendously throughout this baby feeding journey. I truly felt supported and empowered, and although being a mom is a constant work in progress, I feel much better about feeding my vegan baby."

Parent Insight
"As a first time mom I didn't know when or how to start introducing solids to my baby. He is a strong baby and was able to sit up at 5 months! So I started with purees, thanks to the VBLW I felt confident to introduce solids at 6 months. Learning from a variety of ways to cut, prepare and present food to my baby helped us enjoy meal times. I now set aside a little of whatever veggies I am having for lunch or dinner to prepare for baby. We all sit together and eat the same food-it's great! My baby now doesn't like purees and enjoys the texture in foods and eats independently. Family members have been impressed by how independent and developed he is, but it's really all to the preparation I received from Karla's program."
