Neurodiversity and sensory needs add an extra layer of complexity to mealtimes. Your post is such a good reminder that children can be weaned the same way and still develop completely different relationships with food. Making mealtimes a safe, non-battleground space and always including safe foods feels so important to me. “Fed is best” really makes sense in that context — prioritising nourishment, trust, and regulation over pressure. My son is nearly two and I sometimes feel judgement for not introducing cakes, chocolate, or processed sugar yet. I also feel that choosing differently can come across as judgement to others. But we all have different experiences with food, and we’re all doing what works for us and our own children. The fact that we’re even thinking about their food shows we’re all doing our best.

@Ali Bourne very true!

We will try this very soon!

@David P can you share the recipe ?
