Feeding Babies, Fueling Moms – The Sweet & Sour of Motherhood

18 Months, 1000 Meals, and One Mighty Mom

The past 18 months have been a whirlwind. I didn’t get the easy baby—I got the one who cried through feedings, hated naps, and challenged every ounce of my patience. Mealtime felt like survival.
But slowly, we figured it out. I learned their cues, found what worked (and what didn’t), and celebrated every tiny victory—from a bite without tears to a full night’s sleep.
Now, I see a little human who eats with joy and confidence, and I see a mom—me—who grew just as much. It wasn’t perfect, but it was real. And it was ours.

Cute, cozy and enlightening

I’m not a mom myself yet, but I’ve been prepping myself for when the time comes.

It’s nice to get to read a blog that offers a more honest view of the motherhood, not a glammed up version of it.

Bonus points of all the food science stuff.

I would have never guessed that a baby’s diet plays that big of a role.

Keep it up.

Smol Eats has been a really useful resource for me as a parent. The recipes and feeding tips are practical and easy to follow, and I appreciate that Cherry explains not just what to feed your baby, but why it matters. The science is there, but it’s presented in a way that doesn’t feel overwhelming.

The baby-led weaning plate ideas are simple, balanced, and realistic to try at home. I’ve found them helpful for introducing a variety of foods and textures without feeling stressed about getting everything “perfect.”

Overall, Smol Eats is a thoughtful and reliable source of guidance for parents. It’s practical, approachable, and has helped me feel more confident about feeding my baby.

This site is really helpful, it feels like a warm conversation with a friend who really gets it. It’s also really good in helping with planning when you have no plan.

The writing is honest and relatable — the “messy meals” and “not perfect” moments make everything feel genuine instead of staged. The recipes and seasonal meal ideas are both creative and practical; love the everyday ingredients that are designed with baby-nutrition in mind.

It’s rare to find a parenting / baby food blog that balances helpfulness with authenticity so beautifully.

If you’re a new parent, expecting, or just looking for smarter, simpler ways to feed a baby and care for family life, Smol Eats is absolutely worth following. Highly recommend!
