Get ready for easy recipes and practical tips that transform mealtimes into happy, healthy, and high-energy experiences for everyone.
Navigating the new world of baby feeding can feel like a maze, but remember, there's no single ‘right' way – only the best way for you and your little one! Here at Dusty's Delicious Dishes, we believe in using high-frequency foods as the foundation, no matter which path you choose.
Baby-led weaning (BLW) is all about letting your little one explore solid foods at their own pace, offering them soft, finger-sized pieces of whole, vibrant foods bursting with natural energy. It's about encouraging self-feeding and discovery with ingredients that make both you and your baby feel amazing!
On the other hand, mixed feeding combines the best of both worlds, offering smooth purees crafted from those same nourishing, high-frequency ingredients, alongside exciting finger foods. This allows for a gentle introduction to solids while still giving your baby every opportunity to explore textures and flavours that truly fuel their growth.
Both methods have their incredible benefits, and ultimately, the best approach is the one that feels most comfortable and intuitive for you and your baby. Trust your instincts, follow your baby's cues, and remember that when you focus on high-frequency foods, this journey of exploration becomes one of pure, energetic joy for your whole family!
Meet the Founders
I am Natalie Iris Richards and as a mum myself (to my little legend, Dusty, born in the Year of the Dragon 2024!) I know how important it is to make feeding your baby and family enjoyable and effortless.
When Dusty started solids it was a big deal! I needed to know he was getting all the essential nutrients he needed to thrive. I was clueless on what to feed him, what was right, what was wrong and how to do any of it at all!
I settled on mix-feeding of both purees and baby-led-weaning meals which was a journey in itself for both of us. I studied all of the different apps and websites and absorbed as much information as I could to get it right. It was a success! Meal times have been and continue to be the happiest times in our day and Dusty is a beautiful healthy baby that gobbles up anything I put in front of him.
It's not just about feeding your baby; it's about nourishing yourself too! Sustained energy is key to keeping up with those busy baby days. And knowing that the whole family will gather around a delicious meal, sharing laughter and good food, is truly satisfying. I'm passionate about creating mealtimes that bring everyone together, where every dish is a celebration of flavour and togetherness.
I want to share this knowledge and love with you so you too can have an amazing and positive feeding experience with your little bub and family too.
