We contacted Malina for guidance on transitioning our daughter onto solid foods. As first time parents this was completely uncharted / stressful waters but Malina stepped in as an incredible resource. We purchased a package of sessions with her and worked through a list of important topics each time, with specific follow-up tasks after where she continued to be responsive and helpful over email. Through this process we not only transitioned to solid foods but navigated a bunch of related hurdles I did not even realize existed - such as: exposing our daughter to key allergens in a safe way, weening off of bottles and pacifiers, balancing protein / iron / helpful fats / other nutrients we didn't know to focus on, overhauling her nap + feeding schedule, testing new recipes available on Malina's site that are in line with how we as parents eat. It's hard to articulate how helpful all of this guidance was and how much guessing and stress it avoided. Malina is genuinely wonderful and I'm very grateful we worked with her.
