Interview with an Expert-
Catherine Jefferies
Catherine is a mum who understands how
difficult it can be to provide a healthy
diet to your child with the demands we place
on ourselves to be ‘good’ parents. She has
a hospitality background and was very happy
to share information with us. In fact, we
got enough for 2 segments out of the one
visit!
1. Introducing New Foods to your baby/toddler:
Catherine
cooks a meal for the whole family while she
talks about introducing healthy foods to your
baby and hiding the food if toddlers wont eat
it– and it was yummy! Catherine knows that
feeding toddlers can be a challenge and believes
that you are in charge of what your toddler
eats. So if you put healthy foods on their
plate you are doing a great job!
2. Choosing Healthy Foods
Incorporating
all of the essential nutrients in our diets can
be a challenge. In this segment, Catherine
discusses the five food groups in detail - what
they are and where we might find them. She also
discusses healthy ways to cook these foods in an
'easy to understand' way.
As a parent, it can be time consuming to provide
these options, everyday. Time poor parents have
the option of ordering online at

Why is it so important to feed our babies and
toddlers healthy food?
(from the Yummy Bubby website)
The human body completes its growth at age 22,
so up until that time our bodies need essential
nutrients for optimum growth, which are all
accessible through healthy eating and an active
lifestyle.
Healthy food to an optimally functioning human
is what the correct petrol is to a car that
doesn’t break down. You wouldn’t put diesel into
a car that runs on unleaded petrol, would you?
If you did, your expectation would be that the
car would not run so well and probably
break-down, right? It’s exactly the same for the
human body, especially in rapid growth periods.
