Customize your baby's first foods...
A baby’s first foods need to be the most nutrient dense foods in the home.
But often, they're given the least.
Due to "leaky gut," fear of allergens, or signs of readiness.

Let’s think beyond just meat stock...
Or avocado. Or banana. Or jammy egg yolk.
These foods sound soft and nourishing. They seem safe. They look traditional.
💦 But meat stock is mostly water and collagen. Okay for gut health, but there is more to a baby's developing gut.
🍳 And soft cook egg yolk? This may lead to vomiting.
We have to apply a little science to our approach. Especially if there's a history of reactivity.
When first starting solids, these otherwise amazing foods are missing the key nutrients that babies need to thrive.
The kind of nutrients that build brain wiring, immune tolerance, and long-term gut strength 👏👏👏

What parents have to say...
I discovered Megan’s work and service exactly at the moment we were beginning to transition to solid food for our son. I didn’t expect the transition to be so stressful. I wanted to start our son out right in terms of nutrition and health. The question was where to start? First Foods and Beyond was THE answer. I immediately felt relief when I read her approach. Megans evidence based approach, suggestions, recipes and educational components were all pivotal to my personal success at feeding my child in a way I could feel confident. Your guidance, expertise and support continue to help me and my family build a solid foundation for nutrition and well-being. The proof is in our thriving son. We’re very grateful to have found you when we did! I wish it was sooner! My deepest thanks!

Megan's program gave me the confidence to follow my intuition with my daughter. I found the idea of starting solids totally intimidating but having all of the knowledge and information right in front of me, I was able to start Agatha's food journey off with the most nutrient dense foods which made all the difference.
Valentina
I just want to say thank you for your wonderful First Foods and Beyond. This is my second baby and while I made my own baby food from good organic food for her I felt that we were still missing something. All of your information has helped fill that void! I now feel confident that my baby, and pre-schooler if I can get her to eat it, are getting important nutrients, minerals and vitamins from food. Thank you Megan Garcia for all of your hard work and dedicated time in researching what is best for your babies and sharing it!

So many of the moms that I meet feel lost and confused when it comes to solids. Their pediatricians, lactation consultants, family, and friends all give them conflicting information, and their babies have so many different needs. I am very glad to have found Megan’s program while my son was still exclusively breastfeeding, and even more glad that she breaks down the research and common guidance about solids in an easy-to-understand guide (and better yet, easy to explain to my partner, doctors, and friends!) I feel confident and excited about feeding my baby, and I know that is not the norm for a first time mom! I love to cook all his food when I can, and I know what quick, healthy options are available to me when I can’t. All of that I credit to Megan’s work and I am so grateful.
Victoria
As a holistic-minded mom, I've been cautious about allergens, fearing potential allergies. Megan's approach was gentle yet informed. She shared an allergen introduction plan that felt manageable, safe, and supported by research. It was a weight off my shoulders, knowing that I could navigate this critical phase with confidence.

I hesitated to buy this program because this is my second baby and I wasn’t sure if I need ANOTHER whole foods resource on starting solids. But because it remains nervewracking, I bought the program and am so glad I did. I love that Megan not only keeps up to date on the latest research, but also breaks it down into a simple, easy to follow plan to get started with the world of foods. Having these specific guidelines helped me to prepare for this transition which in turn allowed me to be calm enough to be responsive to my son during the process.

This class gave me with the knowledge and confidence to embark on Sofia's feeding journey with a holistic and responsive approach. I know I'll return to the class materials and recipes again and again.

Hey! My name is Megan Garcia
The first 1000 days create the foundation for a lifetime of health. But the tough thing is that we don’t always have the tools to optimize baby’s development.
… a lot of times, this comes down to simply knowing what your options are.
That’s where I hope we can make a difference, together.
