About

Hi, I'm Chloe – the recipe developer and founder of My Baby Eats, a recipe website focused on baby and toddler feeding.

I create practical, real-life baby food and toddler recipes designed to support parents through every stage of early feeding, from first purees through to toddler meals and family-friendly dinners.

My focus is simple: Helping families feel more confident in feeding their children, with recipes that are nourishing, practical and realistic for everyday family life!

Why I created My Baby Eats

I founded My Baby Eats over 3 years ago, when I was in the thick of baby food production for my second-born son LJ.

With my first son PK, I homemade all baby and toddler food. I truly believe that introducing him to a wide range of homemade foods helped shape his adventurous palate and healthy eating habits. I wanted to continue that tradition with LJ, and to share what I learnt with other parents along the way too!

I love developing recipes, and my approach is shaped by a mix of professional and personal experience – including my real-world experience as a parent feeding babies and toddlers at home.

I studied hospitality and then worked in restaurants while at university, which gave me a strong foundation in food preparation and practical cooking techniques.

I’m also a teacher with a PhD in education. This has influenced how I look to evidence-informed guidelines when it comes to baby feeding (and not always the latest trends), as well as how I write and structure recipes. I focus on clear, step-by-step instructions that are easy to follow, especially for parents who are cooking while juggling busy family life.

My philosophy

I believe feeding babies and toddlers doesn’t need to be complicated or overwhelming.

My Baby Eats is built around a simple philosophy: Real food, simple methods and practical recipes that fit into busy family routines. It focuses on infant and toddler feeding at home, inluding first foods, purees, baby-led weaning and simple family meals.

I’m passionate about:

Whole food recipes: Meals packed with nutritious but approachable ingredients.

Quality tested, kid-approved recipes: All recipes published on My Baby Eats have been developed and tested by me. My family are the primary taste testers! Each recipe is tested at least 5 times, using both the regular and Thermomix methods. Most recipes have been made WAY more times than that, as they’re regulars on our family’s meal plan.

Accessibility: Where helpful I share both regular and Thermomix cooking instructions, so every parent can feel empowered to make homemade meals, with or without fancy gadgets.

So here you’ll find recipes that are:

Easy to prepare with everyday ingredients

Designed for real-life use, not perfection

Suitable for different baby and toddler feeding stages

Flexible for both puree and baby-led approaches where appropriate

How my recipes are developed

Every recipe on My Baby Eats is created with practicality in mind. I aim to create recipes that are not only nutritious and suitable for babies and toddlers, but also enjoyable and realistic for the whole family.

My process includes:

Developing recipes in my home kitchen

Testing them with my own family

Adjusting textures and flavours for different stages of feeding

Making sure ingredients are easy to find and accessible

Providing both regular and Thermomix instructions where helpful

Important information

My Baby Eats provides general recipe and feeding inspiration for families.

While I aim to create recipes that align with current baby feeding guidance, here’s my disclaimer! I am not a child health practitioner, dietician, nutritionist or baby-food expert.

I am a parent who loves to read, write, create and cook, and one who wants to share with and empower other parents to be the best chefs/caterers/lunchbox makers they can be for their kids.

If your child has any specific dietary needs, allergies or feeding concerns, please always consult your child health practitioner.
