I’ve been at this motherhood thing for quite awhile now, and I’m still kind of clueless about a whole lot of stuff. One thing that comes to mind, and that has always kind of been a struggle for us, is feeding. I’ve never been entirely sure of when, or when not to start solids. I’ve never really understood what baby-led weaning is, and I’ve never been all that great at handling my picky eaters.
Of course I’ve turned to our pediatrician when I’ve had questions, and naturally I’ve asked some of my mom friends for their opinions in the past, but I’ve always kind of wished that I could ask an expert whenever a parenting question randomly popped into my head. On numerous occasions I have thought to myself that this parenting gig should have come with a handbook. A little guidance when we’re struggling with what is best for our kids…
Well now, when it comes to all of your burning feeding questions, that is actually an option! One of our favorite brands, Happy Family Organics, recently launched a new FREE service, where you have access to a live chat via their homepage with a licensed professional. You can ask these Mama Mentors anything feeding related, from nursing questions to baby and toddler feeding questions, and they give you advice right away.
This service could not be easier to use. I took advantage of it myself to see how it all worked, and I couldn’t get over how simple it was. I recently had Lilah (our 4 month old) at the pediatrician’s for a check up, and the doctor said that we could feel free to start her on solids. I had sort of been questioning it, because we had generally waited until around 6 months with our kids in the past. I jumped on the Happy Family site for another opinion, and within seconds I got a response! I chatted with Rachel and she couldn’t have been more helpful.
So when is this free chat service available? The Happy Mama Mentors are available 8 A.M.-8 P.M. (EST) Monday-Friday and 8 A.M.-4 P.M. Saturday-Sunday. The mentors are all registered dietitians, lactation consultants, and they are certified in infant and maternal nutrition. Best of all, they’re all moms!
I don’t know if I’ll ever have this motherhood thing 100% figured out, but I know I feel better with a little help along the way.
If you ever have any feeding-related questions, I totally urge you to take advantage of the Mama Mentor Chat at Happy Family Organics. It is such an amazing service, and the mentors are there to help!
